There has recently been talk of
the inconvenience of the railroad
schedules to this city. There is no
morning train from Milledgeville to
Macon, giving the traveling public
connection to points in other sec
tions of Georgia. The recent reduc
tion in passenger fare has made
traveling on the train more desir
able, and it is bel : eved that a morn
ing and afternoon train to and from
Macon would increase travel. It is
thought by those who have discussed
the subject that an effort should
be made to have this schedule es
tablished.
There was a great deal of cold
