declared nominated.
Travellers from Barre and Montpelier
with those OF adjacent towns, who may
want TO use the stage between Middlesex
and Waitsfeld win show prudence before
they depart from their home. in antici
patton of the trip. TO learn whether the
stage now connects with the trains at
Middlesex. The recent change in the
train schedule has materially affected the
service and a request has been made TO
the postal department. asking for the
elimination of one of the stages each
way, but thus far nothing has been
heard relative TO the matter. AT present
the mail is carried according TO the old
schedule, which does not connect with the
trains in fact, light team brings the
mail from Waitsfeld to Middlesex in the
morning, while the passengers come on a
stage arriving in Middlesex about /
o'clock. The stage goes back to Waits |
field after connecting with the noon train. |
However, a mail rig under the present |
arrangement leaves Middlesex about |
o'clock, which is according to the SEIZED |
ule the government now provides, but |
that does not get the passengers, which |
used to leave here on the afternoon
train, so that now persons wanting to 60
to Waitsfeld will leave Montpelier on
the milk train if they are to use stage
If the mail stage waited
for the afternoon mail it would not get
into Waitsfeld until $3.50 p. m. provid-
ing the train was on time. If the pro
posed schedule is secured the morning
and evening trips viii be eliminated
