people wish to trade with this city.
The people OF Gordonsvlle would vel
come an earlier train. which would en-
able the people OF that town and vicinity
to go west and return that evening, With
out having to be gone all night.
Mr.. ]. N. Brenaman, OF New Market
who spcnds much Of his t!me in this
city, stated last night that he usually
went home via washington. because no
could mako better connection at WASH
Ington than via Staunton. although 1t IS
nearer via the Staunton route. Present
schedules and connections have 3 Deen a
great drawback In the matter OF travel
from Valley points to and from Staun-,

means two nights; extra hotel bills to
come to Richmond when the trip to Bal
timorc can be made IN day. and with
but one night away from home. .8$y
