GROWERS OF WHEAT

G, Haydock. development agent of
the Illinois Central railroad, in let
ter to Newbern citizen, announces
the location of supply of limerick,
which will be available December /.
The following is an excerpt from
his letter.
''We have located supply that
will be available commencing Decem-
Der /. with the F. w. Katterjohn Con-
struction Co., Princeton, KY. (ship-
ping point, Cedar Bluff, Ky). How
ever, the original price has been adj
vanced to $1.00 per ton f. o. b. ship
ping point in carloads, marked capaci-
ty Of cars, say so tons.
"The freight rate to Newbern as
quoted by Katterjohn, is 95c per ton,
per |. C. R. R. Tariff 148-E, specified
as IA limerick. This department,
however, cannot officially state rail-
road rates. and | recommend that you
confirm same with your railroad
agent at Newbern before ordering.
This would seem to make the price
f. o. b. Newbern of $1.95 per ton for
deliveries commencing December l,
1918"

under my eyes and my sight got poor.
