THE NEW SCHEDULE rs WORKING
WE'LL.

The united testimony of visitors to
the city from points Immediately south
is to the effect that the new schedule
on the Central railroad is veritable
blessing to them, enabling them to Wis
It Americus any day with convenience
and transact their business under the
most satisfactory conditions as to the
time expended.
AS the schedule now is persons de-
string to come to the city can do so
early in the morning and go out at ,
o'clock, or they can come in on the 2
o'clock train and go out at z. They
can spend either the morning, or the
afternoon, or the entire day, as they
may prefer, and in any event can be
"a home for supper.
In making this change the railroad
and the Commission have certainly
studied the convenience of the public
and at the same time have not been
unmindful of the legitimate business
interests of Americas 1t is now up 10
the interests here to see that the
schedule is kept where it is and not
changed again,
The merchants of Americas will as
suredly reap benefit from the change.
They appreciate that fact. But do
they appreciate that the Board of
Trade was instrumental in bringing it
about and that 1t was recognized by
the Commission and the railway as
voicing the sentiments of the united
business interests of Americus?
The Board of Trade is very val
liable organization to have when Am,
CIRCUS wants anything. Strange, ism
it, that some business men cannot see
their way to help support it with thei
yearly dues and their occasional pres
ence at its meetings Yet some O
them would be among the very first Il
call on it were its services needed t,
protect or promote their own interests
