A citizens meeting has been called to meet iu Douglas ou Monday night next for the purpose of making au or ganized effort to persuade the Way cross Air Line Company to give Doug las a lower freight rate. The move ment will be endorsed and participated in by a number of business men o! neighboring towns and villages who will make other arrangements for the: j shipping if the reduction in rates is not made, On accouut of the large volume of shipping done at Douglas and taking into consideration the fact that the amount would be increased thereby, the Breeze belives that the Air Line people would do well to give Douglas a special freight rate. The people of Dougla, wiWi scarce ly au exception, are friendly to the Air Line and are pleased to sec it pros per. Wo believe that a much better freight business cau be built up at this place with a little extra induce ments from the management of the road.
