Splendid Opportunity for Investment

We call attention to the advertisement of
J. SS T. Green, and Capital State Bank,
which appears in our advertising columns.
They have been appointed agents by the
Natchez and Jackson Railroad, for the
sale of Bonds to be issued by the County
Of Hinds, to aid in building said road
through said county. said Bonds are issued
monthly upon estimates of work actually
done. They bear interest at seven per cent.
per annum, payable annually. One-half of
said Bonds mature in 10 years, the other
half in ID years, from their date. All the
taxable property of the county is pledged
for their payment. When the interest is
due, if the county Treasurer is not provided
with funds to pay it, the law requires the
Board of Supervisors to Immediately order
a special tax to be collected and applied to
its payment. The holders of the bond have
no taxes to pay on them, or the money in
vested in them. 1t viii thus be seen that
a rare opportunity for investment is offered
to capitalists.
