To Investors.
July 26, 1897.

The South has stood the fnan-
cial stress of the past few years
better than any other section OF
the country.
We believe in the future Of the
South. Our resources are mex
haustible; our climate delightful.
We believe i'll southern proper
ties, and we consider the securities
of the Central Railroad of Georgia
especially worthy of the careful
consideration of inves tors.
The location of this road is adj
mirable; its future promising; its
actual net earnings satisfactory.
Even during the past years OF
depression the road has earned on
an average SIo5,ooo per annnm IN
excess of its fixed charges, or
nearly the full S per cent. on its
present First Income Bonds.
For the year ending June 80,
1907, the road earned in excess of
fixed charges S3o5,Ooo. With a
continuation of favorable condi-
tons it is confidently expected the
property will earn the interest on
its income bonds of all classes. 1t
has fully proven its ability to earn
at ali times its fixed charges.
The First Consolidated Elves
and the First Income Bonds, at
present prices, are very attractive.
Further information cheerfully
supplied on demand.
