sold at public cutlery before the court house

Arnold Broyles, who will, five days there
after, report the bid to Judge Clarke to be

erty consists Of sixteen miles Of track, ten
locomotives, the necessary number OF cars
and some real estate. 1t was appraised by
the receiver when he took charge as worth
something over $4,000, not counting the
franchises. Just what the property will
bring or who will be the purchaser remains
TO be seen, but as the Consolidated is
creditor there are those who think the
dummy lines will pass into the possession OF
that company. -T0B
