NEW 4. C.L. TRAIN
TONIGHT
Wilmington Reioices In Increased
Convenience for Travel

One minute past midnight tonight
the new train service between Will
mington and Goldsboro, giving this
city extra service and connections
with points north. east and west, will
be inaugurated. This extra train SER
vice was required by the corporation
commission OF the Atlantic Coast Line
under an order handed down several
weeks ago, 1T following the agitation
of the question for several months by
business and travelling men OF this
city and various points between here
and Goldsboro. The public will greet
with pleasure the installation of this
new service.
II Is confidently believed that 1t will
have been in operation only short
time before the railroad will discover
that the innovation is one OF fine re-
suits financially. Il is certain that the
interests and convenience of the
people will be greatly served by the
new trains.
The first train 70 reach this city will
be Tuesday at / a, M, and the first
train to leave this city will be tos
morrow at 3:40 a. m. This train from
the north will arrive at Goldsboro at
1856, p. m. and leave for Wilmington
at 1906 p. M, arriving here at | a. m.
Returning the train will leave here at
$40 a. m. and arrive at Goldsboro at
6:37. This train will leave at Z a. m.
for Norfolk, giving time for breakfast
at Goldsboro. The new train will af-
ford splendid connections with RAJ
leigh, Greensboro. Durham, Kinston,
Wilson, Henderson and other points
in this and other states. This train
will also make the necessary connec-
ton for Clinton al Warsaw, arriving
there in the morning at 5:36 a. m. and
leaving Warsaw at 1907 at night,
bound for Wilmington.
While the Coast Line resisted
strenuously the putting on Of this new
service. II is hoped and believed that
the volume OF travel will make the ex-
pertinent one of profitable nature for
the railroad.
