Philadelphia and Reading Railroad. The taking off of the early morning train on the Philadelphia & Reading railroad not only affected the people of Bloomsburg, but also all places lo cated this side of West Milton. The people of Danville miss the train as we do. The tollowing from the Dan ville Montour American shows a plan that may be accomplished which would restore part of the conveniences we formerly enjoyed. "Since the night train has been taken off the Reading Road our peo ple miss it very much. It is. under stood that the reason for its withdraw al was, that it did not pay. Instead of running a train through from East Mahanoy as before, could not the management run a train oyer from West Milton to Catawissa or Blooms burg, upon the arrival of train No. 7 leaving Philadelphia at 4 p. m. ar riving at West Milton 9.45. The same train could then return to Mil ton in time to connect with train No. 14 which leaves Williamsport at 11.15; West Milton at 12.21 and arrives in Philadelphia at 7.12 the next morning. This would make a convenient train for our business men who go to Phila delphia frequently." rununnt to n onl'r of Iho OrphnnV Court ot Columbia Oounty, .M . tin' unrteinHrnirt will noli nt imlll.! nn tlio premlHos of Jiwae Jolinsou, 1 1' i'f H.-ftvr t.v; , Col.
