Train No. Should Connect

The Atlantic ha
been obliging lately in giving
an additional train and increased

When train No. was the

that we had from the north, it was
important that it came as early in

the evening train out of
Norfolk was broken. Since the

part of the mail in the
forenoon, it is not so important
evening train get in so
early, and the Norfolk connection
might easily be restored. By this
people on each of roads branch-
