The lines traversing this part OF

lines-are making announcements
which appeal to the sentiment OF the
old soldiers who fought for the lost
cause. One railroad company Is
stressing the fact that its trains run
through historic battlefelds of V1r-

around Richmond. Another company
calls attention to the fact that the
