Little Rock, Ark., June II, '56 To the Stockholders of tue Cairo and Fulton
 Railroad Company:
 In order to promote the common interest, and maintain the credit of the company, the com mIttee, in pursuance of your views as indicat- ed at the late annual meeting held on the 9th day of May last, have this day renewed the call made on the 17th of May, 1856, as to all subscribers of stock who failed to pay said call of five per cent of each share of stock sub- scribed.
 And also the call made on the 22d day of September, 1855, as to subscribers of stock. who failed to pay said last mentioned call of five per cent of each share of stock subscribed and required payment of the amount of said calls respectively to be made at the office of the trea- surer of said company in the city of Little Rock, in Pulaski county in the State of Arkan- sas, on or before the first day of September next, 1956
 For the purpose of expedting the collection and payment of said calls, and relieving you of the inconvenience oftrausmitting and paying the same at the office of the treasurer of the com pany Ill Little Rock, the committee have ap- pointed Israel M. Moore and lsham w. Wyatt agents ot the company, with authority to de. mand, receive aud receipt for the same
 I hat the road has been surveyed the sur vey approved-the line adopted-considerabl progress made in selecting the lands granted by Congress to aid in its construction, as well as the adjustment of the title to said ands-and that union between this company and the Cairo and Fulton company of Missouri, has been formed, by which the whole road is plac- ed under one management--are facts well known to yon. That these were steps indis- pensaOle to the successful prosecution of the enterprise, and without which the road could not be constructed in any reasonable time, no one will question; nor will any one suppose that they could have been taken without the neces- sary expenditure of large sums of money, or doubt that the liabilities incurred in relation thereto, were based upon the belief, that, each stock subscriber would pay, and discharge the same m proportion to the amount of his stock subscription in good faith as the same should be called for by your directory.
 Upon the credit given in this security the enterprise has been prosecuted with approba- ton, and liabilities incurred to d considerable amount, above what has been paid on the calls heretofore made; to pay which, as well as other necessary expenditures, you cannot but feel and admit, that you are under st,onq n.o,al, as we'll as legal ob}tgation
 The enterprise Is the work of each subscriber in the proportion which his stock bears to the whole stock subscribed; and, in ike manner is obligations and contemplated advantages at tach to each; and no one can purposey decline to pay his cali (beng only his just proportion of the expenses of the woik) without doing palpaOle wrong and injustice to his cosubocri- bers, and displaying at the same tune want ot thai pabhc spirit so justly prized and high J esteemed by all who desire to see the gene ral prosperity of the country advanced, as well as the individual interest of the stockh0ll- CTS
 Your committee and directory therefore con- hdently expect every stoclholdcrt to meet cheer fully and promptly, his individual obligations, and in this expectation, have authorized the collecting agents for the company, to give as- surances to such as have hitherto failed to pay sai,! calls, that no claim will be made against them of the penalty of ten per cent provided by the charter, against all who fail or refuse the calls legally made if they will now pay the full amount of said calls, on or before the first day of September next.
 Respectfully,
 DANIEL RINGO,
 RICH. H. JOHNSON,
 Ec Committee.
 We the undersigned, directors of the Cairo and Fulton railroad company, fully approve and endorse the sentiments contained in the foregoing letter.
