Notice
Persons interested are notified that hereafter preference will be given in the transportation of freight. First, to army stores, and then to other Government freight. As long as the latter is offered it will be carried to the exclusion of all private freight, and this company will not hold itself responsible for any delay or damage resulting therefrom, for any freight belonging to individuals, so long as that of the Government is offered for transportation. Shippers will take notice and not send freight forward (especially that of  perishable character,) until they have first ascertained when transportation can be furnished. Information can always be obtained in relation to transportation by application to the General Superintendent at Lynchburg.
