| Clothing for the Army |
| It is absolutely necessary
that something be done immediately by the authorities to cause the
speedy forwarding of clothes, stores, etc., contributed by the
patriotic people to the army, or else there will be suffering in the
ranks this winter. We
learn at the passport office that from three to four hundred car loads
of clothing, etc., have accumulated at Chattanooga
and
Knoxville, and that there is a deficiency of locomotives between
Knoxville
and Bristol {the East Tennessee
& Virginia RR}. Could not some be
transferred from the Mississippi Central railroad, where we understand
there is a superabundance? |
