These Bonds were issued by these counties,
severally, to aid said company in, the con-
structi0n of their road. They are known to
be Eve of the wealthiest counties in either the
State of Alabama or Mississippi. Having
suffered but little BY the raysges OF the late
war they owe no floating debt, and possess n
large taxable property, and the Bonds now
offered constitute their only bonded debt.
They are ali eight per cent. Coupon Bonds,
and pay their interest seml-annually at the
Office of the Company. or in New YORK. The
taxes have been already assessed In all the
counties to meet the interest and provide
sinking fund for their redemption. These
taxes have been regularly collected, and the
interest in every case promptly paid. GUAR

of orphans. can find no securities safer and
more profitable. and capitalists seeking to
make permanent investments can do no bet
ter than to purchase them. The Company
will dispose of them at such rates as will
make them a paying ten per cent invest
ment; aud when the Bond is paid, the pur-
chaser will receive twenty-five per cent. adj
ditional on the original outlay. Stocks IN

ment and good fortune for their regular divi-
dends. The income from the Bonds is GER
tain, regular more reliable, and, in most in
stances, more profitable.

SPECIAL NOTICES.

Perilous Season.-GlOrious and delight
full as the summer weather is, its tropical heat
Is a severe trial to the vital powers. Even
the strongest are sometimes prostrasted by its
effects. The common phrase applied to this
condition of the body is general debility.
Now, general debility arises from. and IN
cludes n variety Of ailments. The liver Is
more or less affected. the bowels are either
constipated or too much relaxed. the stomach
but half performs the work Of digestion. the
appetite is poor. and the spirits depressed.
This is what is called general debility. IL Is
a general disarrangement OF all the physlcai
functions, and requires as a remedy medi-
cine that will regulate them all. Hostetter's
stomach Bitters is specially adapted to this
purpose. It's general operation is not confined
to a single organ. If the liver is affected, II
restores its tone. If the stomach is torpid. 1t
regenerates it. II the nerves are tremulous
and weak, it braces and reinforces them. 1T
the mind. which ever sympathizes with the
body, is gloomy and respondent, it relieves
the difficulty and soon brings the whole
mechanism of the body into harmony with the
laws of health.
There is NO civilized nation in the Western
Hemisphere in which the utility Of Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters as a tonic, corrective.
and anti-bilious medicine. ia not known and
appreciated. Throughout the tropics 1t il
considered. both b. the people and the pro-
fession. the standard specific. While it is a
medicine for all seasons and all climates. it is
especially suited to the complaints generated
by the weather. being the purest and best
vegetable stimulant in the world.
Beware Of the Bitters made Of acrid and
dangerous materials. which interruptions par
ties are endeavoring to foist upon the people.
Their name is legion, and the public has no
guarantee that they are not poisonous. Adj
here to the tried remedy. Hostetter's Bitters.
