MANY PERSONS ARE SELLING
THEIR GOVERNMENT BONDS WHILE
THE PREMIUM IS STILL LARGE
AND REINvEST IN THE FIRST
MORTGAGE BONDS Oh THE CEN
TRIAL RAILROAD of IOWA, WHICH
PAY ABOUT ONE-THIRD MORE IN
TEREST. THE TIME TO MAKE SUCH
REIMBURSEMENT is Uhile the Treasury %
buying, and Governments are at premium.
THE ROAD DOES NOT RUN THROUGH
A WILDERNESS, where it would have to
wait years for population and business, but
through the most thickly settled and product
i've agricultural counties in the State, which
gives each section a lar e traffic as soon as com

Southern Iowa to the North where coal is in

The New York independent says, eve know
the Central Railroad of Iowa is one of the
great and good works of the age. Its Direc-
tors include many of our leading bank presi-
dents and other gentlemen of high character,
who have means enough to build two or three
such roads out of their own pockets, so that all
its affairs will be ably as well as honestly man
aged. The Central of Iowa will be to that
State what the New York Central is to this,
except that it runs through far richer coun-
try. We therefore recommend the Central
Iowa Bonds, with entire confidence in their
value. Tie truth is, that First Mortgage oil
| SIG, 900 per mile upon road running through
such country cannot be otherwise than saie.
First Mortgage Bonds for so small an amount
upon road running through sucn ricn ana
| already well-settled part of Iowa, can well be
recommended as a perfectly safe as well as very
profitable investment. They are now selling
more rapidly than the Company can use
the money. Pamphlets, with map, may
