"W. A." Tells About Some of the Things
He Saw on His Recent Trip North.
Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
BLACKsBURG, November l.-When |
promised to give an account for The EN-
QUIRER, of my recent trip to Central
Pennsylvania, must confess that did
not fully appreciate the desire that has
since been manifested by some of the
readers of your valuable paper, for some
special, as well as general, information as
to the people and industries of that por-
ton Of the old keystone State, and of the
impressions made upon the mind Of one
who was born and reared in the south,
and whose whole life has been spent
among southern people.
And first, for the benefit OF those who,
like myself, seldom get further from their
homes than their county seat and neigh
boring towns, I will say that the distance
from Blacksburg to Hollidaysburg, Pa,
(my destination) is about 100 miles by
rail, over two of the finest railroad sys-
TENS in the world-the Southern and the
Pennsylvania-and the time consumed in
SOlllS lildI ulSldlCc, w hcii ali CoiihCSIiiohp
are made, is only about 81 hours, one Of
the many instances of rapid and cheap
transit and of the great blessing Of rail-
roads in this wonderfully progressive age
Of the world.
Boarding the vestibuled train of the
Southern at O'clock in the evening,
Washington, the National Capital, is
reached about Z o'clock next morning.
After stop of an uour in that beautiful
and wonderful city for breakfast, the 80
train on the north central branch of the
Pennsylvania railroad is taken, and Bal
timore, the metropolis of Maryland, is
soon entered. \ change of cars is made
there, and the principal cities passed
through OH this line are York, one of the
oldest towns in Pennsylvania Harris
burg, the capital of the state, Lewistown,
Huntington. Tyrone and Altoona. From
the latter place, which is reached at BIO
D. m., the traveller has his choice of get
ting to Hollidaysburg, seven miles away
but OFT of the main line of the road eth
er by the branch road, which runs to sew
eral smaller towns in the Allegheny
mountains, or by line of trolley cars,
that was built several years ago and which
gives the two cities quick and cheap
connection.
