| Heavy shipments of corn and Bacon |
| The North Alabamian says that the quantity
of grain and provisions boated up the Cumberland and Tennessee rivers,
now lying in ware house and bulk awaiting transportation by railway
to South Carolina, Georgia and intermediate points, is unprecedented.
Every train going East and South is heavily laden with corn and bacon,
and still the supply accumulates at Nashville and Florence faster than
it can be taken away. On their return trips, the cars come quite
empty, little or no merchandize being received by the way of
Charleston. |
