The grapes are now gone and The rail
road authorities have the thanks of our
grape-growers for their kind compliance
with tho request to change the schedule
so that the morning express train would
make connection at Seneca with tho
South bound passenger and express
train Oh the Air Line. This connection
was asked so that grapes could be
shipped from here directly to Atlanta
and other markets. But the grape sea-
son is now passed, and tho highest con-
yeniencc Of tho travelling public will be
promoted by a change back to the old
schedule time of leaving at s o'clock in
tho morning or later. This change we
believe the obliging railroad will mako
as soon as the matter is properly brought
to their attention.
