The people of Claiborne who have ever
done any business in Shreveport have be-
come familiar with the character of the
house Of Gregg & Ford. To such the
house needs no recommendation. Every
one who has ever done any business with
this house regard it as one Of the very
best. There is no business house which
stands fairer with our people than does
the house Of Gregg & Ford. This good
name is deserved by the parties who. by
their fair and honest dealing with all, have
built up name which is the envy of their
rivals. We recommend the house to all as
being first-class in every respect.

ANOTHER PAssENGER WAR.

What seems likely to be the grandest
and most aggressive railroad war OF his
tory has broken out, and is already rag
ing with great bitterness among the
eastern trunk lines between Chicago
and New York. The Baltimore q
Ohio and the grand trunk roads, Wed
nesday, met the cut announced in yes
terday's issue by the Vanderbilt line.
The Pennsylvania roads met the cut
both to New York and to Boston. The
B. & o. and the grand trunk roads met
only the New York cut. The latter
roads are selling straight limited tickets,
while the Vanderbilt lines still sell on
the rebate plan. For yesterday, was
promised still greater decentralization.
The Vanderbilt roads were to sell
tickets on the rebate plan to New York
for $500 to Boston direct for SO. 90, to
Boston via New York for $40. 70. The
grand trunk announced a S5.0 0 rate to
Buffalo and a $500 rate to New York
by the Erie from Buffalo, or via Boston.
with two days off in Boston. They win
sell a round trip ticket from Chicago to
Boston and return good for 80 days for
$1,000 The Michigan Central has here
tofore had a case OF its tickets in the
Chicago depot and the grand trunk Of
fee, but has withdrawn them and will
sell the grand trunk issue over the Mo.
and G. T. lines. The tickets sold by
the Vanderbilt management r good
only yer the New York Central, which
thus shuts out the Erie, The latter
will probably form an alliance with the
grand trunk and cut rates against the
Central to all principal New York
points. The Pennsylvania road is sub
ject to an arbitrary rate of 1915 from
New York to Boston, sc If it meet the
New York Central's Boston rate, II
will get but 20 cents for the haul from
Chicago to New York.
