them but it was good opportunity as was SAID
to hit back the executive officer of the r.,

And if it were well done then t were well it was
done quickly. On the first day of July the

| customers and prompt attention to business

| ness by all patrons OF the road. Already the
reduction III fares between Smyrna and Clay
ton from ten to five cents has caused an enor
nous increase in travel, many 500 pas
| sengers being transported the last half Of
! April, which is nearly double of any whole
| month previously. The extension of round
trip tickets to Philadelphia from TWO to three
days purchasable for any train and good to re-
turn on any tran is Is it should be and long
