M. To 7 00 p. M. This great innovation advertised by the striking head line of Quot every time the clock strikes a has proven such a Success with the travelling Public that no doubt Ere Long the change to regular stated intervals will he made in the service to other Points. Of course the favor with which the change was received was not due entirely to the hourly system but the Tine accommodation Given to travellers by Swift Well equipped trains with Pullman parlor cars attached Aud also cafe cars at appropriate hours Aud no expense spared tor safety Comfort and Quick added greatly to the Public interest in Quot Reading s hourly trails to Aud from new liquor licenses transferred.
