We would say to shippers abroad that HARRISON
&soS are receiving the majority of freight now
arriving for this road and the road has agreed to
protect them, not only in turn but at as low rates
as when through bills are given by any OF their
agents So, before any may seek to divert TINS
route they should enquire if the additional cost OF
81 Is per ton will remunerate for such diversion
In all probability it will be fifteen days before the
present accumulated freight can be gotten rid Of
Let the road do the best they can if no more should

will be at least thirty days before the road can as

sign direct to some commission merchant at Nash
