Attached by the ties of birth to the State of Mas

industry, enterprise and wealth, is not confined to
the city and State alone, but is equally shared by
the community with whom she has any private,

PLANK WASHINGTON AND ROCK
WILLIE TURNPIKE COMPANY.

THE PRESIDENT AND DIRECTORS, with the
IL majority of the Stockholders, have determined
to construct on this turnpike Plank Road, running
from the city boundary Seventh street to the line
of the District and Montgomery county, Mary land,
and for that purpose will issue stock to the ex
tent of seven hundred and fifty shares, of ttcenty
dollars each, and have appointed the undersigned
Books now open Mt our Office for the purpose.
Fiue dollars each share is to be paid at the time
of subscribing, and like amount every sixty
days until the whole is paid.
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 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
portaton of the products of that and the surround
ing country.
Plank Roads are being most extensively con-
structed throughout the country, and have every
tchere proved profitable investments, paying large
dividends TO the stockholders, besides improving
the value of property near them, and greatly in
creasing 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 ttpo shares
of the old, which will be issued to them on surren-
der of the old certificates. The new road will pro-
badly be finished in less than twelve months and

900. It thought il wllpay dividend of not less
than five per cent the first year after il is finished,
and the dividends will steadily increase
