Scarcely day passes that Mayor Jos.
Mahood, agent at the Ohio River rail-
road depot, does not get tongue lash
ing from some drummer or others not
satisfied with the accommodations OF
the road in BenwOOd, First, there is
no telephone, and even Mr.. MahOOd
doesn't know when trains are late, and
for this reason be gets many a scolding.
There is no freight agent at the depot,
aud unless freight is prepaid IL will not
be given of here, but sent to Wheeling.
This causes those receiving freight TO
kick. Ii is believed, though, the
freight and passenger traffic over the
road is increasing, and that In both
branches traffic would be greatly in
creased had the railroad better facili-
ties.
