The lots will be solsrscd by the purchasers in the or
der in which they subscribe for Stock, those first sub.
scribiuS haying the first choice Tc prevent, however.
those subscribing last from having netting ief; but re-
fuse lots, the amount Of Railroad Stock 10 be Subscribed
for each lot will he apEort,onel according TO its location
the most valuable Will require two or even three shares
of Stock to the lot while on the other hand, Of the or
d;nary To-. two or three lots may be sold for ten dollars
each. IL The accompaniment of one share of Stock. in
this way i, will average over the whole towG on. A"fe
Of Rcii,uu1 .Stspk IL onr lot, those taking average lots,
neither extremely valuable Or extremely inferior. Will
get them AZ "a share per lot, those running into extremes
must, however, pay op',ge or less accordingly. 1t may,
however. be said 10 a general senac, that IA share for a
lot will DC the terms upcn which the lots will be sold.
The shares Of Railroad Stock will cost One Hundred
Dollars each. AS the payment Of ibis amount IN Il
number of shares might be a serious obstacle to many
parties joining the Company, we have for the benefit of
all, and particularly of The poor man, whose presence as
much ,r more than aNy ether, we desire in our midst,
arranged the Stock 50 shat the One Hundred Dollars is
pail il, small monthly instruments If Five Dollars every
month for the period ii twenty months, at the expiration
If which time the Onc Hundred Dollars will have been
paid III full. Thus the Subscription for Stock will fall
lightly upon the subscribers, and will form no impede

is no man who cannot buy one or two lots at ten dollars
each, and pay from his earnings, however limited, FIVE
dollars per mouth.
Let US inquire next as to the Railroad Company in
which. the Stock is to be subscribed. The Nin!nger and
St. Peter Western Railroad Company was chartered at
the last Session Of the Territorial Legislature, and ap-
proved March 4th, 1881. Copies of the Charter will be
given. together with an. Account Book for their pay
mentS. to the subscribers for Stock. The road proposed
to be built will extend III it's first section from Nininger
to louisville, a distance Of tlirty-6v miles. 1t will
run through an extremely fertile and rich agricultural
country, already in = great degree bKoYght 1naon0
