Passenger Service
For CAM. r. n. Co.

Last Wednesday the Cumber-
land and Manchester started its
passenger service from Barbour
vile to Manchester, with a fine
train of coaches, consisting Of
three coaches, and to say that
Mr.. Heidrick, the manager felt
good is not saying too much. He
has expended more than 81 1000, =
600. 90 to build the road and has
spent many hours at his desk
and on the road while others
were wrapped IN the arms of
morpheus. dreaming of the flu
ture.
The passenger service is good,
as the train that leaves first in
the morning at $50, and takes
those who may come from Louis
vile and Cincinnati, right on in
to Manchester, arriving there at
about S:O0a. m. and leaving there
at $40, returning in time for the
Louisville Il Nashville train No.
22 for the north, and making an.
other trip in such manner as tC
accommodate those who may wish
to catch train No. "a, going north.
Mr.. Heidrick, the General Man
ager and promoter of the road is
a real hustler, and has conducted
his business in a way that he has
had the good will of all.
The Cam. will run two trains
daily except Sunday, but the
time will soon come when he will
put on at least one train on Sun
day. as there will be a great de.
mand for this service as soon as
springtime comes, as there are
some of the best places along this
line to be found anywhere fol
picnic and all kinds of outings.
This line has opened up a new
field of timber, coal and salt and
it will be an opportunity for the
laboring class to make money.
Much credit should be given
Mr.. Heidrick. and he should have
the support of that section of the
country benefited by this line.
I'VE wish them much success.
