Dany.

The first public movement is now being made III this
great enterprise. As will be seen by our advertising
columns. on Saturday, Goth inst, a public sale will be
held in Nininger Of town lots it louisville with Rali-
road Stock attached. We feel that we can sincerely re-
commend this whole enterprise to our readers. The rise
IN the price of the lots will be enormous, with the build
ina Of the road. while property in Nininger will advance
in an equal proportion. Any man buying lots in Louis
Vile at ten jollqfs cacn cannot but realize largely on his
investment
We arc glad to perceive, upon conversation with our
citizens, thst almost ali of them are ready to purchase
lots and subscribe for Stock at The meeting on Saturday.
A share of Stock requires the Investment Of l.25 per
week, an amount which any man can easily save. As
to the details q the plan We refer our readers to the adj
vertiselnent Of the Company. We would add, however,
hat tho ,srpole of holding the FIRST meeting here is to
offer the first opportunity 70 the citizens of Nininger
This is important, as under the rcgniaiions Of the Com
pany, those subscribing first for lots obtain the Lrst
choice in their selection.

men who were already LARGELY interested in the town
and best acquainted with it's present and future prospects
Mr.. George 0. Robertson lbs purchased lots in tue orig

Of the Eagle Saw Mill, has likewise. bought lots from
Phillip Goldsmith in the sane Addition to the extent Of
at least Ten Thousand Dollars. This is the more strik
ing, from the fact that Mr. Case already owned one third
of the whole Addition.
When men interested 30 largely as Mr.. Robertson and
Mr.. Case are anxious to increase their interests at such
large OUTLAWS Of money, we who hold two or three lots
ought to feel satisfied with our investment. 1t is the
best commentary on the growth of Nininger.

We say to the incredulous who may smile at these
projects, stand on the bluff back of Nininger and look
down upon what less than one year has affected, and
then if it is in your power refer to any instance in the
settlement Of the whole West where such results have
been attained in an equally short space of time. We
then ask that you will attend the meeting of the Louis

Quoted, and if you do not become a convert to the doc
trine of our future greatness it is because the Divine
