Been Named the "Morning News
SpeciaI"-Win Make Connections
Mt WaycrOss Certain, Doing All the
Local WOrk-NO. 30 VIII Make No
stops Between Here and WaycrOss
Except at Jesup.
The Plant System will put on train
this morning to run between here and
Waycross, making all connections with
trains east and west from that point EN-
ployes have named the train the Morn
ing News Special"
This will not mean the putting on of a
new train. Train No. %, which has been
leaving here at 1850 p. m. for Waycross.
will leave daily from now on at 7:lO a.
m. 1t will be found a great convenience.
No % has been run as a local between
here and Waycross, making all stops. 1t
will continue to be run as a local, which
means that No. 35 the train which fol-
lows it an hour and twenty-five minutes
later, will cease making stops between
savannah and Waycross. No So is the
south-bound mail. 1t is often late on ac-
count of the long run, and connections
al Waycross have been missed. This 1t
is thought will be in a measure avoided
by the discontinuance of the stops between
here and Waycross. Quicker time be-
tween the two places can be made ana
connections will be missed less often.
Train No. % will arrive at Waycross at
1910 which win be in time for all con-
nections.
The transportation department of the
Plant System advises passengers to take
this train in order to insure connection
with whatever train may be desired in
Naycross. II is reasonably certain to ar
rive at Waycross on time, and have some
time to spare, awaiting the arrival of the
east and west bound trains No 35 NAV
arrive on time, but there is greater GER
taiuty in making connection by taking
No. Is
The information is given out by the
transportation department that No. IS
will, under no circumstances, stop at any
station between here and Waycross eX-
cept Jesup. No % will take its place in
the local work
1t is thought that the change in the
time of departure of train No 25 will
be appreciated by the people of the sec
tons with which connections will be as
sIred. The regularity of the mails will be
made more perfect in addition to avoiding
the discomforts and annoyances of miss
ing trains No other changes in sched-
ules affecting Savannah will be made
