new ERIE Time TABLE
Effective June 15-Honesdale Gets
Two Additional Morning Trains
One to be Operated on Sunday.

The travelling public will undoubt-
edly be elated to learn of the pro-
posed additional train service it will
receive on the Erie June Is when
the summer timetable goes into ef-
feet. Honesdale will be directly
benefited by the change, in that it
will receive an additional morning
train coming from Scranton to
Honesdale, arriving here at sos
Returning it will leave at $40, ar
riying in Scranton at 11:0O a. m.
This train will be placed on the
schedule by the general passenger
department of the Erie system, New
York The 4:5O and 600
p. m. trains, which have been COM
ing to and departing from Honesdale
for nearly a year, will be run upon
the same schedule. With addition
al train service will follow addi-
tional business for our merchants.
People from southern Wayne and
those living near and along the in
termediate stations on the Scranton
branch of the Wyoming division can
then come to Honesdale early in the
day. We trust that the new SER
vice will be we'll patronized We
understood that the Erie is grateful
to the Greater Honesdale Board OF
Trade for advertising the arrival and
departure of trains on their road
from Honesdale to Scranton, which
brought attention to the public of
the possibility of leaving their re-
spective homes in the afternoon and
arriving home the same day. Un-
der the new schedule persons desir-
ing to do their trading in Homes
dale can leave in the morning and
remain in the county seat until 6
o'clock at night, affording them all
the time necessary for the transac-
tion OF general business.
The local train, leaving for New
York at S:22 a. m, will start at
7:17 instead. The time of arrival in
the evening will be 6:55.
The Scranton train arriving here
at SOS as it will, would give the
merchants of Honesdale excellent
mail service. Instead of waiting un-
til 1900 for their letters and papers
as they do now, the mail could be
delivered at 800, nearly two hours
sooner than at present. The change
would be a good one.
