Cheaper Railroad FaF&a,

On the first of January, 1888, the
Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road Com
pany ~inauguratcd the sale of local
- Round Trip" tickets at all its Of
fees EAST of the Ohio river. These
tickets will be sold to any station
on the line east of the Ohio River, at
a discount averaging about ten per
cent. of the regular rate, and they
will be valid for passage for thirty
days. including day of sale. They
will he sold for all trains, every day

their introduction will bring about an
increase in the volume OF local travel
that will eventually moro than COM

this voluntary action on the part of
the Baltimore and Ohio Company
