| Government corn |
| The Columbus (Ga.,) Times says that about
600,000 bushels of corn {about 2,100 car loads
or 140 trains of 15 cars} have been purchased by the Government
agents, and that nearly the whole of this large amount is now stored
in sacks at the various stations on the South Western Railroad
and its branches. In Albany alone, besides the depot building, which
is filled to over flowing, there are fourteen houses crammed with the
"stuff of life." |
