/ Concerning the Natchez and Jack
son R. r. and the Kinds County
/ Bonds,
/ Natchez Democrat.
/ We understand that many az Che people
Of Kinds county greatly under estimate tho
extent Of the work which can be accomplish
/ ed by the subscription Of Kinds county iu
/ bonds of the county The impression pre-
walls, we have been told, that the amount
4 realized from these bonds viii not Be suG-
Gent to do more than grade the road
through the county. This is great mis-
take. According 10 the estimates Of the en-
gineers, the whole Of the grading can bc
done for about 500, 900 The cro-s-tieiug
and bridging will not require more than
$780, 900 more, leaving the balance to DE de-
voted 70 the purchase of iron and track
/ laying.
/ A the present quotations Of iron rails IL
would not cost over s. 900 per mile for iron,
or for the thirty-fve miles Of road 100000.
! The cost Of track-layiug would be from
( 1915 to $3.50 per mile or at the higher rate
81, 250 for the whole work through the
county This would give NJ the whole cost
/ Of the road completed through Kinds county
/ the sum Of 1872 $50 The bonds on the
county readily command ninety cents ON
! the dollar, and the TWO hundred thousand
dollars Of bonds issued, will realize one hun-
bred and eighty thousand dollars. Thus
7 we see that instead Of doing only the grad
ing of the road, the bonds of Kinds county
will grade, oross-tie and bridge the whole
road through the county, and buy and lay
7 the rails upon twenty-three miles Of the road
7 leaving only 242 $50 to be raised for tho
entire construction OF that portion of the
road in Kinds county. The friends Of the
4 road in that section may therefore rest
assured that their subscription viii accom-
\ plish more than was at first hoped for, ana
that when the money arising from the sale
/ of the Kinds county bonds is exhausted
there would be left comparatively little of
the road TO be built. They can be satisfied
Y that the statements we have made are based
upon reliable Information, and are rather
over than under the cost Of the work.
Z We hope soon to learn that the Company
has made arrangements for putting the gan
| between Martin and the Kinds county line
under contract, not only for the grading
! but for the completion of the entire road
/ In the meanwhile we can say to our Kinds
county friends that by the issuance Of these
bonds they have proved to the oroakers, that
I the credit of their county IS good and have
disappointed those who expected to pur-
chase these bonds Tor six bits on the dollar,
and we even 90 80 far As to predict disap-
pointrnent to those who are now waiting for
I them at ninety cents The bonds will be at
par in a very short time
