believe that Roosevelt would accept a

Put the Buckhannon Train on
Again to BelingtOn

Is the statement expressed by the pub
lic in general in this and surrounding
counties.
The railroads have become public
utility and it should be their aim to gain
and to hold the confidence of the public
A olunder was made by some one some
months ago either in the asking of a
change, or by the Iairoad company in
taking off the Buckhannon train and al
lowing it to lay over at Tygarts Junction
instead OF running ON into Beington on
previous schedule.
Now it is time that this mistake should
be corrected, and it is time for another
changea very logical and necessary
change and that is to run the Buckhan-
non train in to Belingtou daily; if not
daily make it Sunday excepted.
The change would be much better for
the railroad employees. The approach
ing winter will be hardship on them if
the change is not made. Then there is
the comfort and convenience OF the pas
sengers to consider Just think of pas
sengers waiting IN the little, close, dark
agents Office at Tygarts Junction for
about hours, while if the train would
lun on in to Belington the trip would be
pleasure and satisfaction instead of
the long wait, wait, wait Business men
could accomplish more in one day than
they could in two the way the trains run
now. As it is the travelling salesman
has got to spend whole day here if he
travels by rail, or else take an automo-
bile or a rig and make other points north.
Should the B. & O. officials stiL let this
inconvenience of the waiting of passsn-
gers at Tygarts Junction remain, it surely
will have tendency land it already is
having this effect) to turn passenger
tra9al over the C. & @. to Buckhannon
and other points west, and will in time
inspire the counties OF Barbour and Up
shur to improve the county roads thru by
Audra, and open up a much needed
highway.
1t does seem that some Of our iufiu-
ential citizens should take this important
matter up with the railroad officials and
after it has been presented in the proper
light, it will certainly be an easy matter
