Union traitors of this comfy, aud those

i particularly to the Union men of the coun.
a, ~ who have wood and produce TO cell, and
= when they bring il to town they ask the
u most exOrbitaut prices, and frequently theJ
: refuse TO take Confederate money at ALL
a Thus the reader will perceive that whilst
the poor soldiers of the town are In the
army, fighting the battles of our country
their families are suffering for wood and
g cannot buy it with Confederate money
o without giving at the rate of $50 pei
cord. 1t is the same case 10 regard &c
