Railroad Fare
   Six cents per mile is the regular fare on this road, and all persons getting on the cars without tickets will be charged at that rate. The duties of the Conductors are to look after the comfort of passengers and the safety of trains, and not to collect fare.
   Passengers who will comply with the rules of the Road and purchase thickets can secure them at about FIVE CENTS PER MILE.
   Soldiers traveling on Furlough will be charged only HALF FARE, provided they procure tickets. This rule apllies to none but privates and non-commissioned officers.
