This railroad "company" hopes the
earnings of the road will be enough to
pay something on the stock after awhile.
That is an experiment with all roads and
depends on management and general bu-
siness. For few years there cannot be
much profit, until the road is fully per-
fected in itsclfand its management But
after awhile We hope it will bo like other
good stocks and pay good dividend, and
that the money paid in will be well lent.
Some companies set aside certain por-
ton of earnings to make a sinking fund
to pay off Tic bonds; but generally it is
not expected the bonds will be paid.
When they come due the road will be re-
bonded; because, il the interest is prompt
ly paid the bonds will be valuable and
the holders do not want them taken up.

wears. so it is safe and the interest will be
promptly paid, it is valuable security.
If want the $4,000, any moneyed man
will give it to me and some premium be-
sides. So Government bonds at only six
per cent in gold, sell at twelve per cent
premium because they are safe and the in
ferest is sure. So of the stock. Ii the
earnings are large, the stock is valuable !;
anc the holder can realize his money at
any time. There are no bonds in the mar
ket of good roads. all are in private hands
for the interest.
1t is popular error to suppose railroad
companies have oceans O., money. They
have no money. Their mcsey comes and
goes in steady stream Their wealth
consists in their property, ind because
that property brings steady income the
company have good credit. But in money
they have no surplus. If they earn ever
so much, after they have paid all expen-
ses, the residue is applied, first, on the in
terest on their bonds, and next, diyided

SUCCESSFUL HOME Invention. is al
ways gratifying to note the success of in

of all those now before the public
none are meeting with more hearty appro-
val than the one G. W. Swinebroad has
made in cotton presses The inventor is
a citizen Of Bolivar, long and favorably
known as a member of our mercantile
community, and has had the good for
tune Of bearing off from different Agri>
cultural and Mechanical FAIRS no less
than four first class premiums. At Jack
son, last week, he took the prize over all
others, and this, within ITSELF is an eVi
denee of the high appreciation entertained
By competent judges Of the entire utility,
adaptabiIity and durability of Swine
breads Improved Cotton Presses. which
have been manufactured right here in
our midst The inventor is DOW on the
high road to prosperity, and those who
desire an opportunity to secure presses
for their own use, OF purchase territory OF
royalty, should call on or address Mr..
Swinebroad, at Bolivar, Tenn. His iu-
veution is a success. Read his card in an
other part of the paper for description
of the power employed and how applied.

Be euided by what YOU KnOw.

There Is an cid proverb which says,
Experience is the safest guide. To this
guide the sick and aiiing naturally turn
when casting about for the means of re-
lief They enquire what a medicine has
done for others, before they adoptit them
selves OF all the remedies and prevent
ives in use. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
meets the test most triumphantly, and
hence its immese popularity and vast
sales. The sufferer from indigestion IS
sure to find some one among his friends
who has been cured of this ailment by the
famous vegetable stomachic The victim
of fever and ague, liver complaint, const-
ipation, nervous prostratiOn, or general
debility, has only to make inquiry in the
neighborhood where he resides in order to
discover what this stadard restorative has
effected in cases similar to his own. In
the published testimony to its merits he
will find volume of proofs of its sanitary
properties, which it is impossible for his
common sense to resist. He tries 1t, and
the effect it produces on his system adds
another to the host of witnesses in it's ia
vor. Thus, its reputation, founded on
facts, not assertions, continually grows
and spreads. Charlatans and impostOrs,
some of them mere locals trickSters, and
others who take a somewhat wider RAJ re &,
attempt to thrust into the hands aud dow
the throats Of invalids, their haphaz-r I'd
nco tons, as substitutes for the tCnc
which for so many years has been o g.
icinal staple throughout the United Stat'
Spanish America, Canada, ard the West
