rived at Franklin, Is milOs from Nash
vile, more than paid the interest on the
money expended in building the road.
Now, this being the case, it is not a hard
matter to find parties TO take the sub
scTiEticn and pay you six per cent. IN
terest, ana make lrCm zen 10 twenty
per cent for themselves. Yet We would
advise you TO take the proposition that IS
offered YOU, which is this: Responsible

road from Columbia to Fayetteville rio

session OF the TOaa Tor I've wears, paying
fothc original subscribers D pes cent, on
their stock annually, first and second
years, and scmi-annually after the sec
0nd wear, and al the end of five years
turn oyer the road and all of its equip
ment, II good repair to the original sub
scribers.
Now there aTe several reasons why such n
proDosition should be accepted; first, they
are thoroughly practical, and viii system
atize all connected with the road, and per-
feet any combinations with other roads ana
projected roads, and possibly do more for
Inc country through which IL passes than
persons wholly unacquainted with railroad
building, running or projecting new routes.
They also educate properly the persons who
