the Special Agent of the company, who

counties along the line will be required
to subscribe to the stock of the company
to the aggregate amount of 100000,
payable in seven per cent bonds, which
will be accepted as pay by the contract,

cannot hope for a Railroad unless the
people authorize by their votes the re-
quired subscription and we may as well
make up our minds to do so without re.
