PULLMAN RE
SERVATIONS, v
In order to mitigate throubles
arising over the ordering of Pull
man reservations before hand and
to assure everyone's being provided
for, the Southern Railway has made
an order which took effect last Fri
day, that any one securing, Pullman
reservations out of AshevHle shall
pay for the same when -the reser
vation is made. This will be much
more satisfactory than 'the old plan
as it has been found v that a great
many peopleorder th reservations
and then change theirplaris thus
discomfitingj others who would use
the sleeping car. ' .
