Reduction of Fare.

By B. L. Whitney

ARRANGEMENTS have been made to charter a car from Watertown to Rome, N. Y., to accommodate those who wish to attend the Rome meeting, by which a reduction of more than one-half the regular fare will be secured. Those coming from places north of Dekalb should buy tickets to that station. Here they can purchase tickets to Watertown and return at one and one-half cents per mile.

At Gouverneur and all stations between there and Watertown, return tickets will be on sale at the same rate. At Watertown all take chartered car, on which the fare will be from one cent to one and one-half cents per mile, according to the number who attend.

If there are ten or more from Oswego, they can get return tickets to Richland, where they will take chartered car.

Should there be more than a car load, tickets will be furnished to those who cannot be accommodated in the car at one and one-half cents per mile. Trunks will be carried as regular baggage, without extra expense. The chartered car will probably be run on Tuesday of the week of the meeting; but it will be definitely stated next week just what day and on what train the car will be run.

These terms we regard very favorable for those coming from that section of the State, and we trust this opportunity will be improved by the brethren to secure a general attendance.
