gained circulation here -that the
Southern Railway shops in Spencer
will, be re-opened at an early date
when a large number of employes

expecting to be called' back into
the service. .The report Iacks of
ticial congrmation, but there Js a
strong probability that it is ' true.
The management however, has
succeeded in handling an immense
amount of business during
the period , of retrenchment as
shown by the large number of
trains forwarded.
