THE GREAT FAST MAIL.
Two New Fast Trains by the Z. & D. New
Railroads-New Trains-Fast Time
Faster TiRe.
From the Republic. !

Fastest time seems to be the motto
of the day in railroad circles Of the
New South, and the Richmond and
Dunville, it appears, has reached the
climax. Since January, 1891, that
company has been operating three (3)
through passenger trains between New
York, Atlanta and New Orleans, one
of these being the justly celebrated
Washington and Southwestern YES
tibuled Limited" making the run
from New York to Atlanta, Ca, dis
tance by its line of el2 miles, in %
hours, or an average of about forty
miles per hour. The great New York
and Chicago Limited of the Pennsyl-
vania r. r. makes the run from New
York to Chicago, distance by its rails
of S76 miles, in "a hours. Thus you see
sThe Greatest Southern System" (the
R. & d. is giving the s'New South" a
service that is equal to that Of the
STANDARD Railroad Of America" (the
Pennsylvania Il. r. J. But with the
spring changes comes the second Won
der-the establishment of the r. & DIS
"Great Fast MAIL" composed of new
and elegant postal cars, "complete
postoffices on Wheels" new and luxu-
rious coaches ard magnificent Pull
man palace vestlbuled s!eepers. The
Southbound train (No. 35) leaves
Washington every morning at lilo
O'Clock, with New York, Philadelphia,
Baltimore and Washington papers of
same date, and distributes them
through Virginia, North and South
Carolina the same day of issue, put
ting them into Atlanta at o'clock
a. m. the morning after issue and dis
tributing them through Georgia, Ala
bama and Mississippi through the
medium of the seven railroads radiat-
ing from Atlanta by noon of the day
after publication, which is by many
hours the quickest and most complete
service ever given the United States
mail to and from the South.
These fast mail trains make the run
from Washington to Atlanta, South
bound, in eighteen hours and fifty
minutes, while the corresponding
Northbound train, no. 36, leaves At
lanta at 7.30 p. III, arrives in Wash
ington 2.55 p. m. following day,
making close connection for Baltimore,
Philadelphia, New York and Boston,
arriving in Baltimore All p. NJ, Phil
adslpbia $40 p. NJ, New York $40
p. N. next day and Boston 7.3O a. m.
Time 10 Washington nineteen hours
and twenty-five minutes and to New
York twenty-five hours.
The fast time, splendid equipment
and magnificent service Of the r. & D.
is greatly appreciated by the travelling
public, as is manifested daily by their
very large and constantly increasing
passenger lrarei.
The management of the company is
intrusted to men Of intelligence and
high character and liberal in
! their views, ''strictly business" in their
methods and rules of conduct, just and
reasonable toward all patrons, showing
no patriotism, making nc promises to
be broken, guaranteeing nothing they
cannot accomplish. Such a system,
with such management, is justly the
pride CT the people it serves and the
section through which it passes. The
influence of its progressive policy has
become contagious on every mile of its
great system and has acted as stimu-
lating impulse to the energies of the
people in every State it touches with
its magnetic power, from Washington,
D. c., on the Potomac, to its Western
terminus, Greenville, on the Missis-
sippi River.
