| Notice |
| Owing to the dissatisfaction
expressed with the present arrangement of giving to certain houses a
day of shipment, and the continued heavy pressure of freight both for
the Government and individuals. This company will, on and after the
15th inst., adopt the following rules in regard to shipments: |
| On Monday, December 15th, a
registry book will be opened at 9 o'clock, a. m., and shippers will be
required to register all freights desired to be forwarded. |
| Shippers will be required to
register the marks, number and description of packages, the name of
consignee and destination. |
| No shipper will be allowed to
register more than two car loads in any one day, and no transfer of
the right to ship articles will be allowed, but goods must be shipped
as registered, or the next in order of registration will be
forwarded. |
| Goods will be forwarded
strictly in the order of registration, but the right of the Government
to forward its freight at all times, in preference to private freight
is recognized, and the company reserves the right to forward promptly
at all times, salt and family and plantation supplies to stations on
this road. |
