mer conductor. deceased.
Every day of Mr.. Nights life of rail-
reading mas been on this same train eX-
cept when he has been obliged to run
specials, and then his own train was gen.
orally used. His train is perhaps as WELL
known in this vicinity as any, on account
of the number of times it passes each
day, making three round trips of %
miles each and 2l.900 miles each year,
also running as fast as any train on the
road. considering the number of stops
that have to be made.
He has been a faithful man at his work
and his absolute integrity and devotion to
it has won for him the respect and CON-
mendation of his superior officers and of
the travelling pubnc. Today, Mr.. Wight
is as smart as the first day of his service,
and for many more years yet is he good
for service and his many friends hope
to see him punching tickets for many
years in the future, just the same as they
have in the past.
