A better schedule is wanted for Mocksville and other points on N.C. Midland Railroad. A train leaving Winston-Salem about 5 a.m. going south, a train leaving Charlotte about 6 a.m. going north; a train leaving Winston-Salem at 5 p.m. going south, and a train out of Charlotte at 5 p.m. going north, seems to be what the people of Mocksville would like to have. With such a schedule our mail service would be greatly improved, and our citizens could go to Charlotte, Salisbury, Statesville, or Winston-Salem and spend the day, returning same evening. An effort is being made to have such a schedule put into effect this spring.
