The Mail and Passenger Train leaves Staunton daily for
the East at 8:24 A.
M., and for the West at 4 P. M. The Freight train leaves Staunton for
the East on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays at 11:50 A. M., and for
the West on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 12:20 P. M.
|
The attention of the Farmers is called to the fact that
the Freight train does not lay over at Greenwood under this
arrangement, but goes through, arriving at Richmond at 4 A. M., on
Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, so that stock can be taken from
either of the Depots without the discomfort of a long detention on the
road. Persons desiring transportation should give ample notice to the
undersigned, or to Stephen Hunter, General Freight Agent at Richmond,
as the means of transportation are somewhat limited, owing to the
heavy demands upon it by the Government at this time.
