Frank H. Shirley, member of Ute legislature from the county and sec retary of the Westminster Board of. Trade, waa one of tho leading work ara in having Ute trains run to West minster. As the directing head of the board of trade he has been work ing faithfully for sonn months, and' recently carried his plans before Hie state railroad commission. The Southern recently told Ute. Westminster h ard of trade that If the land for certain side tracks would bo given them by the town the service would be extended to Westminster.

The board of trade will how make an effort to get the "Bell" train, run ulng between Atlanta and Toccoa, Gu., to run to Westminster. To have trains Nos. 41 and 42 to run from Westminster to Charlotte will' be a great convenience to the people of Westminster.
