the Seaboard Air Line with headquar-
ters in Jacksonville was a visitor here
last Tuesday. Mr.. Rooney told Us that
we must abandon all hope of getting a
night man here or having the limited
train stop here. He explained the
avs of the state are such that il a
night man We're placed here while
travel TO this point is large and should
travel drop off TO such an extent that
the expense would not warrant. the
railroad could not dispense with the
night mans services. Again he says
that if the limited train We're to make
stops here every little station along
the line would demand Of the state
railroad commission to COMPEL the
same train TO make stops at their sta
tionS. We are pleased to learn that a
petition is being circulated in Plant
City to the same line TO establish a
morning train and evening train be
tween that city and Ocala. enabling
