CHICAGO
Danyille & Vincennes
Railroad Company.
TO Careful Investors.

1t is seldom that Mortgages upon new Railroads
considered sufficiently safe for the investment of
Trust Funds. 1t is only when a Railroad is earning
net, an excess of its interest obligations, with
tanty of steady growth, that its Bonds be said
to be perfectly safe.
The CHICAGO, DANvlLLE & VINCENNEs RAIL
ROAD is doing this, and has this certainty. That
part of it known the ILLINOIS DIVISION (rom
Chicago to Danve, 1872 Mies) was finished last year,
and its gross earnings have increased from 64 OF
in December, 1871, to S57, ,5S7 95 in August 1872.
The net earnings for August were S3O412 46, or at
the rate of 1864 949 80 per The total inter-
est ability upon the total issue of Bonds upon both
the Illinois and Indiana dvis ons is S2SO,OOO gold.
The Illinois division is, therefore, earning net, more
than enongh to pay interest upon the entire bonded
debt upon the whole road.

that?" ''The lady forgets," was the charac-
teristic rejoinder, ''the pain 1 suffer in
waiting for those four crows"
