Station Agent Broughton received word yesterday from the Pennsylvania of ficers at Fort Wayne that beginning with Sunday, June 24th, Berne will be made a flag stop for train number 6. which passes through this town at 12:25 in the morning. This is a southbound train and will mean a great convenience to our town. The train will however, stop only for passengers from Fort Wayne or points beyond and will take passengers for Richmond or beyond. With this arrangement the train service for our town will be greatly improved Most of the passenges who wish tc take the night train do so either from Fort Wayne or Richmond. This added service given by the Pennsylvania railroad will be greatly appreciated by the business men of Berne as well as the entire community. Everyone feels grateful that this convenience is to be restored to us. New Insurance Rates Indianapolis.
