Much Inconvenience IL caused by the
Randall Company in having only one
boat a week on the Potomac for the ac-
! commodatiOn of travellers from this see
ton. and that boat only makes one-day
trip TO Washington during the week,
which is on Sunday. This compels per
sons either to desecrate the holy Sab
bath day by making it a day OF travel,
or else drive over almost impossible
roads to the river aud wait for n boat
which is scheduled to arrive at i O'Clock
at night. but more frequently does not
arrive till nearly daybreak. 1t has been
rumored that the Weems line may put a
boat on the Potomac from Washington
to the lower counties, touching at all
the intermediate landings II such
boat were put on and Mr.. Il. b. Garnett
appointed as one OF the officers, the sue
cess of the boat would be assured Most
earnestly it is to be hoped for.
