The railroad from Danville to
Greensborough is about to begin construction, on a large scale, and
requires a numerous force of laborers, as well as overseers of
experience who can come well recommended. |
|
The price of $10 per month will be paid for
the best hands, and in proportion for inferior ones. They must be
supplied with clothing by their owners, and when delivered to the
Company, must be provided with one week's rations of food, for which
rations due allowance will be made in the first monthly settlement. |
|
Payments will be made monthly in cash. |
|
Overseers accompanying parties of hands will be given
preference over others, if otherwise satisfactory. |
| The hands may be delivered to the agents
at any of the depots on the {Richmond &}
Danville Railroad, or at Greensborough, N. C., after the 25th inst. |
