WANT CHANGE IN TRAINS.

Beth Seaboard Trains Run in the
Same Direction Now.
The business men of Dawson. as well
as those who have to travel Occa-
sionally, want the Seaboard to change
the schedule of one of its trains.
The two daily trains on the Sea-
board now run in the same direction,
both the passenger train and the ac-
cOmmodation freight coming out of
Columbus in the morning and making
the return trips in the afternoon. This
works a great inconvenience to the
people of Dawson, especially those
who have business in the nearby towns
above the city, as it is impossible for
them to make trip by rail and get
back the same day.
A strong petition, signed by the
merchants and other business men of
the city, has been forwarded to the au-
thorities of the road asking that the
trains be run in opposite directions,
and it is believed that the justice of
the request will be seen and favorable
action taken.
