Rail Road Stock.

At noon on Wednesday of last week
Joseph Hill, Esq. Chairman of the
County Court, sold the $4,000 stock
the county owned in the Il. L. Va
y Ga. Il. r., at 75s cents on the dol
lar. There were three bidders present
and we consider the sale a good one
for the County. Should the Bond
holders suit in the United States
Co irt at Nashville be decided against
the Rail Road Of our State, the Stock
owned by individuals will drop down
to almost nothing. 1t might be well
for individuals who own stock to
dispose of it now, though this a ques-
ton that each one interested must
exercise their own Judgment.
