Train service at Murphy, both; passenger and freight, compares faborably with that oi nay other i center. Two railroads enter the town furnishing 10 passenger trains a day. j The Southern, Murphy Division, from Asheville has two trains each way, ! daily. The Louisville and Nashville , ; operates a train each way, to and 'from Knoxville, Tenn , and one each way from Atlanta, in addition to a local train to and from Blue ridge Ga., junction point.
