discussing an exclusive passenger
train service between Hickory and Lee
noir. This is according to statement
made by F. H.. Coffey, who went to
Raleigh early in the week to take up
the matter for the Lenoir chamber OF
commerce.. A hearing on this schedule
took place recently, and the railroad
officials were ordered to maintain this
.ervice without any changes. Notwith-
standing the ruling OF the corporation
commission trains 81 and 55 were
changed to mixed local freighters, do
ing all the work between Hickory and
Lenoir, which caused them to be de-
layed one or two hours every day. The
chamber of commerce kept record
OF the arrival Of this train, and Mr..
Coffey carried this information before
the corporation commission.
Lenoir lost its fight before the cor
poratfon commission to keep the Le-

ing it's telephone rates according to
received by town authori-
ties. The rates are to be increased,
and to become effective January 1,
