An Inquiry
ALTON, NELSON COUNTY, VA,
goth February, 1890.
Editor Valley Tirgiaaian::
Sir-Can any influence be brought be
bear on the management of the Chesa-
peake & Ohio railway with view to Sc
curing greater facilities for local pass
sengers than is afforded at present
came to this locality from Scotland
week ago to look for place for home.
and having to go to Staunton on Tues
day to do some business, found that the
only train available in the morning was
due here at 6:1o. On going to the station
learned that this was late, and In fact
it did not arrive till after s u. M, reach
ing Staunton about 1920. The return
ing train was due at 1910, but did not
arrive till about p. M. and l finished
my journey of "a miles there and back
in II hours from the time at which
went to the station in the morning till |
stepped down at Alton. If the popula-
ton is small, we cannot look for a very
large passenger traffic, but after the ex-
perience related above the railroad off
cials need not be surprised if residents
and strangers also think twice before re-
solving to take any journey by local cars
AT the rate indicated above it will take
an intended settler fearful time to look
over. even a limited part of your beauti.
full land. | am, &C.,
DONALD MACGREGOR.
