A visit to the r. r. station last
Monday morning revealed a scene
not unlike wedding feast without
a bridegroom or a funeral minus
corpse, the usual live stock ship
ment of that day being, thanks to
the quarantine, conspicuous by its
absence. NJ. G. Flanders, who is
good authority, states that such
thing never before occurred during
his many years in the business. An
old-timer has an indistinct recollec-
tion of there having been a tempo
rary shutdown some forty years
ago.
From Carl Renfrew, the courteous
and Efficient B. & M. Agent we learn
that the volume of business at Brad
ford station from Nov. 1st, 1901 to
Nov. 1st, 1902, exceeded any year of
his ten years experience here. No
vember is always one of the lightest
months and the last was no excep-
ton, there being notable falling
off in many lines of freight, the
poultry shipment in particular being
the least of any November in many
years. The total weight of freight
of all kinos during the month
amounted to 3S8. .265 lbs. The aver
age monthly cash receipts of the sta
tion for the year exceed $1,000.
