Louisiana Democrat [Alexandria , LA], November 16, 1864
A market wagon which came in yesterday with a load of “garden sass,” after selling out, started back home, but got “stalled” in going up a hill near the Dirt Bridge, from the weight of Confederate shucks for which the “truck” sold.—Lynchburg Republican.
We have not heard of any disaster of this kind in and about Alexandria, but would advise the wood, pumpkin and tater sellers not to make any further advance in prices for fear of an accident.
