NEED BETTER SERVICE.
Telegraph and Express Offices
are Necessities.
Program of the rythians for Tuesday Even
ing--Musical soiree of Miss Knox's Class
--Gallup-C nsin Marriage Personal.

For the last three years the bust
| ness men and Councilmen have been
| trying TO secure a telegraph and ex-
press office for Berkeley. AS an in
| ducement the Council offered TO con-
| tribute the first years license. and the
| business men have offered to patron
ize such an enterprise at once.
1t was stated by an Industrious and
thoughtful business man here in an in
terview relative to the growth and de-
Nelopment of the town that there is
| more capital stock invested here than
| either Norfolk or Portsmouth lie
gave figures TO substantiate the asser-
ton. The town, with its suburbs, has
population OF 10000 IL not more.
Notwithstanding those facts. the
town is to great extent ignored by
all of the steamboat, telegraph and en-
press companies, and by the railroads,
until few months ago. when the lat
ter entered here by means of the Belt
Line railroad and the Berkeley and
South Norfolk Terminal Railroad
Company. The business men have
been receiving some of their freight
direct.
Telegraph and express Offices are
more needed. as the business OF the
town develops, and Norfolk does not
and can not give satisfactory service
to the people of Berkeley.
Every time an express package is
sent or one received, regardless of the
circumstances. the receiver or sender
is compelled to so to Norfolk. There
are many more Inconvenience because
there are not express and telegraph Of
fees here.
