Mr. Reeseman, Gen. Superintendent of the P.P.J. Railway has written the following letter to the editor of The Advance to explain why the special train which was run to Coulonge on the day of the late Hon. George Bryson’s funeral, did not stop at the stations in Bristol: “As the time and arrangements for the running of this special train did not allow us to take in the stops of the different points and arrive in Coulonge in time for the funeral, there was not advertising of the running of this train other than at Quyon, Shawville, Clarks and Campbell’s Bay. If the party who telephoned to the different villages along the line had not taken it upon himself to give this unwarranted information, there would have been no one disappointed.
