CAUTION TO SOUTHERN TR.4VELLERS
i'HE undersigned travellers from the South regret
Il having the occasion to publish an instance of de-
ceptlon and imposition practiscd upon them by the
agents of the Petersburg Railroad Company al Wei
don, n c., on the evening Of the llth instanl On
arriving from the South at Weldon, they were met
by the clamorous opportunities for patronage from
the agents of the two lines Of travel northward
Avarg ourselves Of the offer Of the SO called Mail
Line" 10 take us through to Washington for 50 each
we embarked in that line and advanced as far a,
Garey's, about three miles, where we were invited
TO sup, and called upon to purchase tickets AT this
time, in an inclement night and at point where we
pleasure of the railroad agents, we surprised by
made the proposals to us at Weldon, that we could
not obtain through tickets nor, in fact any tickets
for the price he had himself stipulated; but that we
must take tickets for short distances, and pay at the
rate of $40 IS fare to Washington, or be put to The
Inconvenience Of getting back to Weldon IN the rain
as we could, and being delayed at least two DAYS.
nder the circumstances, we were reluctantly COM
PEELED to submit to the imposition Of the agents.
In the hope that our experience may serve as a
useful caution TO travellers arriving at Weldon and
without meaning to dsparage other parts Of the route
we have felt constrained to make this publication.
