It ia stated that the now ischednio will bo inaugurated on or before January Ist. ( This announcment. if true, will be nf great interest to ithe people in general along the line of the road and especially to those in Bruns wick. While Ihe present schedule an the A.. B. aud A. is quite satls lactory, a double daily a. bedule is needed and nothing could help Brunswick more at present. Under the present schedule it ia uecessary for visitors along the road u> spend a. night in Bunswick when they visit the city. In other words it is impossible for the people to leave their homes, come to Bruns wick and return the same day. It Is inconvenient for a business man to leave his place of business from noon one (lay until the following day, but such is necessary at pres ent. The through train on the A., B. and A. arrives in Brunswick now at 1:50 and the visitor is given un til (l o’cloi k the following morning, getting to ids home before noon. Under the new schedule it is pro posed to operate one train into Brunswick early in the morning and the G her jlatei in tho afternoon, trains will depart from this city about 5 a. in. and 7:20 p. m. There fore a visitor could arrive. In the city at 7 o’clock in tho morning, aiend tho entire day here and get back home at 9 or 10 o’clock at aiglit. Officials of the road in this city are not in position to confirm the rumor, but it Is known that the road lias been contemplating a dou ble daily schedule for some time aud the business men and other* of Brunswick will be glad to learn that it is to soon be inaugurated. WHOLESALE STAMPS ARE TO BE RESTRICTED A clever bit of graft said to be practiced by aamo liquor dealers wlji ta cut out by the latest United States intern il revenue circular, a copy of which reached Rucker Frl day morning. The circular orders that after Jan' nary l, 1907, tollectos shall decline to issue a wholesale dealer’s stamp tor use on any package not filled on the premises of a wholesale liquor dealer or on any/unbroken package bearing the marine, stamps or brand* required by la#. Tho unnecessary expense of Isijning too many whole sale dealers’ stamps Is the reason the circular assigns for the order. It is generally reported, however, that the wholesale dealers’ stamp is often uig-d on packages containing rectified liquors and for the special purpose of concealing the fact they are rectified goods. This Is regard ed as unfair to tho purchaser and will be stopped by the order becom ing effective In 1907. 0 CoaiflreMman Gaines ill. St. Ixmls, Nov. 17.—Congressman John Wesley Otises, of Tennessee, is seriously U 1 here of appeodicitie.
