forced to run it's train something like
on time. 1t often happens that the
night train is 80 late people cannot
get their mail, as it is not opened up
until the next morning. The rail-
road is well paid for this mail con-
tract, and it should be required to
deliver the mail with some degree of
promptness. Frequently the train
does not arrive until after nine
O'Clock at night, yet it is scheduled
to arrive at eight o'clock.
For the first time in many years,
Bamberg was visited by a heavy snow
last Saturday. 1t commenced snow
ing before daylight and continued
until about four o'clock that after
noon, covering the ground to depth
of about four inches. 1t turned very
cold Saturday night and Sunday, and
the snow did not begin to melt to
any extent until Monday. Business
was practically suspended Saturday,
but the streets were made lively by
the crowds of old and young who
were snowballing.
