UR COUNTY IS TO BE BISECTED BY A TROLLEY LINE?A COTTON MILL WILL BE BUILT NEAR NEAL SHOALS?YHE DREAM OF DAYS GONE BY AND THE PLEA OF "THE TIMES" FOR TWENTY-FIVE YEARS IS ABOUT TO BE REALIZED. he Sleeping Giant is Awakened by the flagic Touch of That Indomitable Captain of Industry. T. C. Duncan---The Trolley Car Line is to be ; Extended Through Our Town Via Aetna and . Monarch Cotton Hills and Neal Shoals Power House to the Seaboard Air Line on one Side and Via Buffalo, the Gold Mine and Glenn Springs to Roebuck on the Atlantic Coast Line on the Other. Negotiations which have been in progress for some weeks past have last been perfected and within a sl\prt time Union will be in touch ith the outside world by means of the Southern* Seaboard and Atlan3 Coast Line Railway systems. Work was begun some two weeks ago a quiet way to lay out a toute through the town and the line for the cation of the road from here via Neal Shoals to the G. C. & N. Railad has been practically located and within the next few days two rps of engineers will be in the held making final location, when done attracts will be let and work on road pushed to completion before inter. The enormous work of completing the dam and powerhouse Neal Shoals and construction of the power line from the Shoals to >tton mills in Union and Ruffalo will Impnshed with the utmost vigor id it is hoped that all will be completed in the next six months, when te manufacturing and industrial enterprises of Union will receive .~I. ~ ? 4l.? ../...i ?< ...iff - I- ^ iiu nu jiix{fcma iJiui uic #ic.ii rciiDiis mil a/miv even u greater increase i industrial development than that of the past decade. Many and varied have been the efforts on the part of our citizens to 'cure another railroad, but it has been left to the untiring energy and \defatigable manipulator of schemes and business management of ol. T. C. Duncan for the cousumation of this Union's greatest need, ius lifting the burden under which Union-has groaned, of only one lilroad, while adjoining towns with competing lines have enjoyed 1 icli advantages as lias e to some extent deprived us of much trade, ilion being blocked by the influential lobby of the Southern, such inucnce will now be powerless, since all necessary arrangements have ?e/i made, and if you hear any of the croakers or moss-backs interpsing objections to making this connection with the Seaboard, spot im as a hireling of the Southern. The parties to this enterprise do ot ask for a dollar subscription by bond issue or otherwise, but ask tat each land owner give them the right of way. The railroad wilhbe Derated by electricity generated at the Neal Shoals electric power lant. There will be stations at short distances apart all along the ne for the accommodation of travel and freight, and all persons livig near the road or have it pass through their land will be fortunate. ! is the purpose of those in authority to be as accommodating to patrons * possible, I.ocal cars will have flag stations every mile, and the jilding of this road with its facilities for transportation should ennnce the value of all lands along the raite, and in good or bad weather oti can step on the car with your produce and be in town in a few mintcs. A rural and belt trolley line connecting with ttle trolley system trough the principal streets of the town will wake up the citizens. Everybody should now pull together, only a few more months the leasure parties, picuicers and fishermen can enjoy a day at the Shoals Dating and fishing on the mammoth lake twelve miles long, made by w Neal Shoals dam, or luxuriate under the spreading oaks at Glenn prings. l,et us return to Neal Shoals for a brief inspection of its beaues. Here we behold nature embellished by art, a magnificent ark of one hundred acres, sodded with Bermuda grass gently sloping ) the brink of the great lake which is fed by the waters of the majestic road. Shade trees and flowers, walks and drives, grottos and playtg 'fountains. In the center a.large casino paviliotr., A tennis court, olf links and base ball grounds all within this grahd-park. JUst hink of it! All for the enjoyment of the pleasure seekers, Doubtless luncheon of wild turkey, wild duck, quail and fish will be served rttr if tatcd perlalsj only a few minutes ride, you can go and come every mir in iht> tin v. The road will do incalculable good to our merchants, for it will lake Union a competitive point and g/bb her the same freight rates ujoyed hy other towns witlf competing railroads. Your freight will c delivered more promptly and jiolitely, and claims of any desctip'on will be disposed'of in an equitable and speedy manner. Tho Qonested condition of home seekers within the corporate limits wm be elieved to a certain extent hy bringing suburban property in closer roximity to the heart ot the town. The wood situation will be relieved. s the line will extend through large bodies of pine and oak forests, 'he farmers along the route can ship their wood and cotton to the mills nd havetlwir groceries delivered within aj short distance of their tomes, That sedtion otthe county southeast of town will blossom like rose, for the contagion of Aetna and Monarch will meet that of the tew mill near Neal Shoals and overy section will be imbued with new I ' ?: - ' . - L W.
