| To the Planters of Texas |
| The finishing and opening of
the Texas & N. O. R. R. through to Sabine river, at Orange, having
been declared a military necessity, this Company appeals to those who
have hands to assist us in said work, as every day of delay now may
seriously embarrass this Military Department. |
| We want |
| Five Hundred Negro Men |
| At once, for which a good
price will be paid monthly in Confederate Bonds and Treasury Notes.
Planters sending a large force, and a competent party to oversee then,
the company will pay a fair salary to said person. |
| Transportation free on the
road for men and provisions. |
| For particulars at once
address the undersigned. |
| A. M. Gentry, Pres't |
| W. W. Morris, Gen'l Sup't. T. & N. O.
R. R. Co. |
