Laurel Gazette.
There is growing demand in south.
ern Delaware for better opportunities to
visit our State metropolis, Wilmington.
Very many of our people have relatives
and friends in Wilmington whom they
would be glad to visit at times when
travelling to and from Philadelphia. A
large part of the Delaware visitors to
Philadelphia use the 6-day excursion
tickets Of the Pennsylvania railroad
and these tickets admit of no delay or
stop over at intermediate points To the
railroad it could make but little differ
ence to allow passengers the privilege
of stopping off at Wilmington on these
tickets; to the people of Delaware it
would be great advantage and to the
city of Wilmington it would lead many
thousands of dollars that are now spent
in Philadelphia The most desirable
arrangement for Delawareans both in
Wilmington and throughout the State
would be if the company would sell g.
day tickets for Wilmington as well as g.
day tickets to Philadelphia and give the
purchasers OF Philadelphia excursion
tickets also the privilege Of stopping at
Wilmington. This city has good markets
and is already the recipient Of a large
amount Of trade from country retailers
but if better railroad facilities were
given to Wilmington by which means
she could be placed at an equality with
Philadelphia her trade would be very
greatly increased. Wilmington bust
ness men have awakened to this fact
and move to induce the Pennsylvania
railroad to offer excursion rates to our
State metropolis is among the enter
prises that will be promoted in the near
| future.
