Hut They Won't Be Long, Very lx>ng Well, men, I don't know that we have uny right to kick just because long dresses have again made their appearance, Wo have ha<l 10 or 12 I years of sight-aeeing at practically no hurt, except poanibly a few of us have run into telephone posts and curb* while not looking straight ahead. After all, style is the only thing that counts. I can remember when a 1 o-byI5-inch hustle was a thing of beauty and a joy forever. They lopked all right and we young fellows thought thut they had come to stay. Occasionally they would drift around to one side of the hips and make the dear sweet things appear to Ih1 kinder lop-sided, and in many instances, such mis-placements wvre mistaken for dislocation of the hip. Shortly after "the arrival of the hustle, the wasp waist-line came and spent a while. It was an horrible -disgrace for a woman to have a waist any Jarg.M ufound than a stick of bologna sausage. Corset strings were always fr? m 20 to 1" feet long, an i e t: i v uld b <: :ig '.n : n Pvloie they ..ailcdvu place., ..a., by the trfne they were "helped" into the buggy, it actually looked dangerous for them to bend over for fear they'd break.

One Hundred Years of Service ON February 10, 1830, a little company of progressive people in Petersburg, Virginia, obtained from the General Assembly ofVirginia a charter for the construction of a railroad from Petersburg "to some convenient point on the . North Carolina line." When completed it reached from Petersburg to Blakely, Va., one and a half miles below the falls of the Roanoke River, a total distance of 59 miles. Not much of a railroad by modern standards! But an undertaking of some magnitude for those times; and one that, its advocates foresaw, would revolutionize industry and commerce. They were empire builders, those pioneers of the Petersburg Railroad, who had unbounded faith in the future of tl.i South and in the success of the new enterprise. But as great as was their faith they could hardly have envisaged the changes that were to come. Built as a local enterprise to increase trade, the Petersburg Railroad became in a few years a link in the "great mail" route between North and South and, with more than one hundred other roads, was later welded into the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company. Today what was formerly the Petersburg Railroad is an essential part of a system comprising 5153 miles of railroad in Southeast Virginia, the Eastern Carolinas, Georgia, Florida and Southeast Alabama. Over the heavy steel rails that long ago replaced the strap-iron track of the Petersburg Railroad, there moves a vast and varied traffic. From North to South?from South to North ? the great trains thunder past. Luxurious mil'ea-ininutc passenger trains, each costing as much as the entire original cost of the Petersburg Road. Swift freight trains, laden with valuable cargoes. ! \ery train essential to the commerce of the . nation. Every train a tribute to the vision of the founders, and of the men who followed after. The Atlantic Coast Line of today has been a cinturv in the making. It looks to the future with the same confidence as did that President of the Petersburg Railroad who wrote: "of the final success of such a line, no one can doubt v> ho is the least acquainted with the immense intercourse of the country and with the great value of time in conducting its business."
