COUNTY RAILROAD BoNDs,-Ne call
the attention of our readers, TO a notice
in the advertising columns of ourpaper'
bv the President OF our Railroad, upon
the subject Of the interest due on the
LIST Of July, upon the County Bonds
We know Of no investment to be pre-
ferred to these Berkeley County Bonds.
Besides being scared upon SIN millions
Of property in this county, they are fur
thtr secured upon the property OF the
Railroad. The NJ. 6 ?. X. Il: Co.,
guarantees the payment Of the principal
and the punctual payment OF the interest
semi-annually. These bonds bear ei$h'
ner cent. interest free from ell taxation
which is equivalent to Ten per cent.
Some labor under the erroneous idea
that these bonds are guaranteed free
from County taxation only. This IS a
mistake, they are guaranteed free IRON
all taxation-United States, State ana
