A NEW PASSENGER TRAIN.

The Queen & Crescent Route will
on Sunday September Ii, put on al
| additional Passenger Train, to leave
| Vicksburg at 8:l5 a. M. and arrive al
Meridian at 10 p. m. Returning this
train will leave NJ eridian at 3:15 p. m,
and arrive at Vicksburg at o:l5 p. IN.
stopping at all stations.
This is service which has been de-
sired by the public for several months
and will, doubtless, accommodate a
great number of people. This gives
three trains daily in each direction,
and is Just three times the number of
trains run four years ago.
The new trains, besides serving the
needs of travellers between local sta
lions, will connect at Meridian with
the North and South Bound trains of
the Alabama Great Southern to and
from birmingham, Chattanooga, Gin
cinnatI. ETC., the Mobile Il Ohio, both
North and South Bound, and the
New Orleans & North Eastern to and
from Laurel, Hattiesburg and New
Orleans.
Perons desiring to do business In
Meridian can go to that place, arriv-
ing at HIS p. m. have two hours IN
which to attend to their affairs, and
return at 1918 p. IN.
will also enable persons in VIcks-
burg to 90 To the state capital and
have all day 20 do business and re-
turn to their homes in the evening.
The rapid growth of business in
Missis-ipp has made this splendid
service possible, and the manage
ment of the Queen d Crescent Route,
always anxious to give the public the
very best possible service, has been
preparing for several months for this
addition to the service.
New cars and engines had to be
built-these were ordered nearly a
year ago IN anticipation, and have
not yet all been received, but suffi-
cient to enable a start to be made.
Yet the additional cars and engines
will be Forthcoming, in a few weeks.
