KEEP THE BONDS AT HOME.

The Lancaster Il Chester Rail
way has issued 7 per cent. bonds
to the amount of $4,000, inter
est payable semi-annually. These
bonds can pc sold North without
any Trouble, but the owners and
and officials of the road are anX-
ious for the bonds to be kept at
home, if the people want them.
In other words, what they them
selves do not take they will give
their home friends the refusal of
before they sell them to people
away from here. With the small
issue of 25,000 covering upon 20
miles of road bed and ali the roll
ing stock, depots, etc, owned by
the company, there can be no
doubt about their security. II
the road was discontinued tomor-
row the iron in the track could
be sold for enough to pay the
face of the bonds, to say nothing
of the depots along the line and
the shops and lot in Chester.
To pay the interest on these
bonds requires only 81, $50 per
annum, and when it is remem-
bered that the net earnings of the
road have amounted to over
81 800 in one single month, it
will be seen that there can be
little or no doubt about the pay
ment of the interest upon these
bonds. The principal being abun-
dainty secured and the payment
Of the interest being certain
makes these bonds a most desira-
bic investment for people who
have money to invest.
1t would be a pity for these
bonds to be allowed to 90 North,
for once there, they would remain
there, because those people find
few such opportunities to invest
their money when the security
and the interest are taken INTO
consideration.

A BEAUTIFUL ROUTE.
Southern Railroads Nashville
Trip Via the Land OF the Sky.

The Southern Railway will sell
round trip tickets to the national
exposition at Nashville, Tenn.
Tickets on sale now and until
October 18th. inclusive, from all
points, and Tuesday and Thurs
day Of each week at special low
rates.
On account of the seventh
annual reunion of the Con-
federate Veterans, the Southern
will sell round trip tickets on
June 19, 20 and 81 at the re-
markably low rate of $1O.7O from
Columbia. Tickets limited to re-
turn within 10 days from date of
sale: an additional 10 days will
be allowed if tickets are deposited
with joint agent in Nashville be-
fore June 26.
The Southern Railway is the
only line that will allow you the
choice of two routes-vla Ashe-
vile, the land of the sky, Knox
vile, and Chattanooga, or via
Atlanta and Chattanooga, with
superior through car service.
Those going by Asheville will
be carried through the famous
scenery Of the French Broad
river, of which one of Americas
most famous tourist writer's says: :.
"A journey through the valley of
the French Broad river is one
which ever remains in the men,
ory of him who takes it. The
distance is short, scarcely 40
miles, but there ls not the short
est portion of it deviod of pict-
uresque interest. 1t is, in fact,
generally conceded by all exten-
sive travellers that it is one of the
loveliest trips in America, and
no visitor to Western North Caro-
lima should miss taking it. For
the entire distance the Southern
Railway hugs close to the river,
which dashes merrily over bould-
ers, as 1T cuts its ways through
the wild gorges of the mountains.
Here and there are the long
stretches of placid water, as If
the river, tired by Its battling,
was resting before making
another mad rush down its tortu-
GUS race to the sea-"
