Fine dollars each share is to be paid at the time

The advantages of such road to the city, and
the property in the vicinity OF the road, must be
apparent to all conversant with its situation There
is but little doubt that a similar road will soon be
built, connecting this road with Rockville and
Brookville-the last in the midst OF fine agri-
cultural country; thus opening direct and easy
route from Montgomery and the upper part OF
Anne Arundel counties to this city for the trans
portation of the products of that and the surround
ing country.
Plank Roads are being most extensively con-
structed throughout the country, and have every
trhere proved profitable investments, paying large
dividends TO the stockholders, besides improving
the value of property near them, and greatly in
crcasing the trade in the places through which
they pass.
A considerable portion of the stock has already
been subscribed.
Holders of the old STOCK in the company are cnti.
tied to share Of stock for every shares
