| Salt |
| The scarcity of this article renders it
necessary to take advantage of every suitable method of procuring a
supply. It will be in great demand as the season advances, and since
it can be had if means of transportation are at hand, it will be well
for commercial men to take the subject under consideration at once.
Recent occurrences in Tennessee have temporarily stopped the carrying
trade over the Southwestern line beyond the limits of Virginia. In the
meantime a vast quantity of salt might be transported over the
Virginia & Tennessee and {Richmond &} Danville
Railroads, and all parties be benefited by the operation. The
suggestion may have already presented itself to the railway
companies; but if not, we hope it will be duly considered and adopted
without unnecessary delay. |
