To THE PEOPLE OF THE VALLEY: 2.

TO THE PEOPLE OF THE VALLEY: a'
We wish at once to push forward the Line
Of Railroad which is to connect the Potomac
with the Virginia and Tennessee Road. To
do this, we need to have Stock taken in the
Valley to the extent of
ONE MILLION OF DOLLARS.
This we propose to have done on the follow
ing terms: Two per cent of the amount sub
scrlbed, to be paid in so soon as called for;
thirteen per cent. additional, to be paid within
the next three years; the remaining eighty
five per cent, to be paid within the next ten
years.
If this amount of Stock be promptly taken
on these easy terms we can effect negotiations
which will enable us to have its remainder
taken abroad, and which will enable us at the
same time, to raise the money for the Stock
taken at home upon the Bonds of the Com
pany, payable in ten years.
1t is unnecessary to say anything in regard
to the vital Importance of this great work.
Every property holder within reach Of the
Road appreciates it.
It may be proper to state, however, that
circumstances are more favorable now to the
construction of this work than ever before,
or probably than they will be hereafter. We
have already secured -----.--.---,.-EE7--

to locate the Road from Harrisonburg to Sa-
lem. They will commence operations early in
May. Let our people aid, IN earnest, and we
can promise them the speedy completion of an
improvement which will do more than any
other in contemplation for the advancement of
our interests. The Commissioners in each
county will open Books of Subscription at
once, and are earnestly desired to have the
Stock subscribed promptly. .-aaa
