 trains of cars that they sadly neglected the
 own legitimate business. They did the
 threshing and some such work which coul
 be done at home and in sight of passiu
 trains, but to go of into the woods cbo ping was entirely out of the question, ar , the result was they failsd utterly to get ' their wood piles. This is indeed stran, , story. but it is stated for fact. The pc
 pie of Canaan, if they were intended to , included, and were in days of yors so ii
 terested in ''the cars" can not now be a' cused of regarding them ss very mu' :, of curiosity. With twenty regular trai 7 passing this station every week day, D . including large number of extra trair
 most anybody would soon be satisfied wi car seeing. The railroad business of u
 station is certainly very large, and there l. but a very small portion of the day th Il there is not one or more trains here. o | = piles up regularly and always on time nc e days.
