ming on last Wednesday an additional train

daily, except Sundays, and on Sundays an
additional train will leave Union Bridge at
$50 a. m. for Baltimore and intermediate
stations. This additional service will be very
gratifying to the patrons of the road, and
shows that the new management are ready to
meet the wishes of the people.
As our streets will be crowded al night from
now until the holidays close, it would be well
for pedestrians not to walk with front Of from
four to six abreast Remember other per
sous have rights that should be respected.
This especially applies to the shopping sec
ton. Don't crowd the others who are going
in an opposite direction, but extend to them
the same courtesy that you would wish given
10 you. Do not assemble in idle crowds in
front of the stores, thus preventing those who
have business to attend to from having easy
iupress TO the stores
