Absurd Depot Rules.
Correspondence of Visitor.
The people who have charge of the
new Union Depot have some rnles
which would be exceedingly laughable
if it was not for the fact that the rules
put the traveling public to very great
inconvenience. It is evident to a
traveller that the officials at the new
depot need to visit other cities to
learn bow to superintend a public
passenger station.
Among the absurd rules in regard
to the I uildiug are the following:
1. The house is kept closed except
about train time and then one side of
a door is cracked open as if to say to
a traveller he is not wanted there.
The waiting rooms tdiould be open all
day, as that is what they are made
for ,
2. If a ldy is vWtio the city no
our is permitted to pass the iror
gates to met her and help her to
alight with her bundles from the
train. She has to get oft the best she
can and carry all her hand baggage
about a hundred yards along the
platform aud take the chances of be
ing found by her frieuds outside the
gates. Whn you want to meet your
friends you are compelled to go to the
old depot to get to the train.
, 8 No one is allowed to accompany
even his wife through the gates so as
to assist her to the train and find a
comfortable seat for her. Persons
who desire to assist their friends to
the train are requested to take them
around to the old depot as formerly
in order to reach thetraiDl You can
not meet auy friend in passing
through Raleigh on the train unless
you go to the old depotl
v Truly these things appear impossi'
ble, but they are nevertheless true,
Improvements In management are
sadly needed. , Traveller,

not. Those who do not, now have an
opportunity of finding out by buying
a pair of our special line, either ladies

for ladies are the most perfect fitting
and gives the bes! satisfaction of any
ladies' shoe made, and Reynold's
shoes for men are far superior to any
other shoe on the market. You only
have to try one pair of Reynold's
shoes to be convinced that they are
the shoes to have. Now if you would
save money and at the same time get
the best, call at Swindell's.
