J. R. Kenly, GeneralManager ot the Atlantic Coast Lineasking that the the schedule of theKinston branch be shortened one houreach way. Mr. Kenly gave the mattercareful consideration and replied verypromptly. As our readers may tullyunderstand the situation the Reriuc-for publishes below Mr. KenlyTs letterto the petitioners :i Witmineron, N.C., Jan. 9tb, 1897.GentLemen. Your petition of blankte requesting that the schedules ofthe passenger train: on the KinstonBranch be clanged so as to permit themorning trai to pass Greenville onehour later and the evening train topass there ove hour earlier was dulyreceived. ~The matter has had mycareful consideration.ry dMy desire always is to meet theWishes of our patrons as far as it ispracticable. I find that we can, withoutserious Consequences to the iaterests ofthe traveling public in Eastera . NorthCarolina, arrange to leave Greenvillewith the morning train abouv thirty(30) minutes laier, which I have di-|rected to be done at the next change 01Timetable following the one now in thehauds ot the printers. I hope tliis* will be sasistactory to the petitioners,With regard to the evening train: 1am sorry that it is impracticable tomake any change in ils ume withoutserious inconvenience and injury to oth.This schedule iscontrolled by the oShoo Fly� train tromNortolk. You sugyest that in order toovercome this difficulty the morningtrain into Norfolk be made earlier and* the evening train leave their earlier. 1think you would hardly make thissuggestion if you knew thac the morningtrain now leaves Rocky Mount at 6:15A. M., passes ~Tarboro at 6.45 A. M,.and reaches Norfolk at 10:30 A. M.The train remains in Norfolk until2:25 P. M., giving the people onlyabout four (4) hours in Norfolk. Toron the Nortolk train into that point atan carher hour would seriously incon-venience the R.cky Mount and Tarboro travel which is quite large. Thetrain now leaves those points as early-usit should do to properly acedmmodate_ the traveling public.oThe evening train over the KinstonBranch, when the number of stops ithas to make is taken into consideration,is quite tast. It has to run betweenstops at a speed ccnsiderably overthirty (80) miles an hour, which is asfast as we care to run a local passenger_ train of this kind.: » We have a constan: pressure from| the line. of the Norfolk & Carolinai Norfolk to have them Rocky Mount reach | 'and leave there later, | O4». er impoitant interests.AFTERNOON (EXCEPT SUNDAY).: a. change for T ~the beiaint: in the connectionbgood, in order that passenigers |lorfolk and vicinity: cou x achCarolina ata 1casonable hour in theevening, and particulatly as this is theonly train by which passengers can leaveNorfolk in the P.

On this rocka conical beacon is erected, andop its summit a lantern is fixed,from which night after nighishines a light which is seen bythe fishermen far and wide. Yetthere is no burning lamp in thelantern, and no attendant evergoes near it, for the simple reasonthat there 1s no Jamp to attendto, no wick to trim and no oil toreplenish.The way in which this peculialighthouse is illuminated is this:On the Island ot Lewis, 500 feetor so away, is a lighthouse, andfrom a window in the tower astream of light is projected on amirrow in the lantern on the sum-mit of the Armish rock.

The streets are todnarrow for vehicles"in fact, thereis but one street. in the town wideenough for carriages, and it is 0| very narrow that they cannot passeach other in it. The streets were| made for foot travelers, donkeys_ and camels.| Bethlehem is about five milessouth of Jerusalem, Leaving the| larger city by the Yafa gate, we takea carriage and ride rapidly over the| fine road built but a few years ago.The carriage we are in and those we~meet are wretched affairs. Thehorses are to be pitied, first, becausethey are not well cared for, and, sec-ond, because their drivers are regu.lar jehus who drive them ~~furious-ly� up hill and down. In less thanan hour we are in the market placeof Bethlehem, in front of the Churchof the Nativity.Let us suppose we have arrived onChristmas eve, in time to wanderabout and to become acquaintedwith the little city.Of course it has changed in ap-pearance since the time of the birthof Christ. It is larger and betterbuilt. Now, as then, the houses areof stone, and, as cities and customschange but little in the east, wemay safely infer that modern Beth-lehem houses are much like thoseof 1,900 years ago. Perhaps someof the old buildings that were in ex-istenco so long ago may still bestanding. Of course the greatChurch of the Nativity was not thenerected, nor were any of the largereligious buildings we see. Theseare the memorials of a ~later date,built in honor of him whose earthlylife began here. One would have tobe unmindful of his surroundingsand very unimaginative not to won-der what the place was like on thatnight the anniversary of which weare celebrating.We know that: then, as on thisDec. 24, it was filled with people.But those people had come for a dif-ferent purpose. Augustus Cesar,the master of the then known world,had issued an imperial decree order-ing a general registration of all hissubjects. This wag for the purposeof revising or completing the taxlists. According tooRoman law, peo-ple were to rogist@r in their owncities"that is) the city in whichthey lived orto which their villageor town was attached. According toJewish methods, they would registerby tribes, families and the housesof their fathers. Joseph and Marywere Jews and conformed to theJewish customg It was well knownthat he and Mary were of the tribeof Judah and family of David andthat Bethlehem was their ancestralhome. Accordingly they left theZebulun, and eame to DaviaTs ~owncity,T in the territory of Judah.They came down the east bank afthe Jordan, crossed the river atJericho and came up among theJudean hills and valleys till theyreached Bethlehem. It was a longjourney and a wearisome one, andon arriving a place of rest was thefirst thing sought. Evidently theya no friends living in the place,,if they had, their houses wereal eady filled. It was necessary thatshelter be had and immediately.In the khan, or inn, there was noroom. So there was nothing to dobut oecupy a part of the space pro-vided for cattle. It was not an un-usual thing to do and is often donetoday in these eastern villages. Infact, they were aboutas comfortablethere as inany khan. At a khan onemay procure a cu) of coffee and placeto liedown on .2¢ ioor, but eachguest provides his own bed and cov-ering. This was all Joseph andMary could have obtained in theinn had there been room for them.And here in Betlichem, in a stable,or a cave used for stabling animals,Jesus was born, and Mary ~~wrappedhim in swaddling clothes and laid.| him ina manger.TT"Edwin 8, Wal.lace in St. Nicholas.Tommy Suggests a Remedy.~IT can say of our neighbor, Hark.along," observed Mr, pcan 7he gives away a great deal in city and that his lett hand never.knows what his Fight hand is )ing, Mia ae a PaoWhy lasek he take ~tia les-pons?� asked Tommy Tucker. -"**)#It Is a Small gad Unattractive Flee afhol onl Line in Eastern North | - |all pointe via our-Line in. � Te is a little city, and it does notNazareth home, in the territory of ~| #ji}1 Is owes giveti that Beeson wil)sccm mned pees use Dhak,officials in writing signatures.
