Getting Rid of Unproductive
Securities.


Rockbridge has 4, 200 shares of Val
lev Railroad stock which has hereto
fore been considered valueless. Lex
ington has 800 shares of the same klnd
of unproductive assets. 1t seems we
can realize something from it, as the
town council on Thursday night
gave A. II. Burroughs of Lynchburg,
an option of $40 a share for thirty
DAYS on the stock held by Lexington
in the company of the Valley Rail
road. Mr.. Burroughs to receive a
commission of ten per cent, for dis-
posing of the same. We learn that
Mr.. Burroughs has secured options
on the holdings of several counties
through which the Valley Railroad
passes.
On Tuesday, July 1st, there was a
meeting of the Board of Supervisors
of Rockbridge, at which there were
present: Chairman j. j. l.. klnnear'
Supervisors, j. H. Whitmore, George
A. Ayres. G. NJ. Shewey, and r. H..
Patterson,
Judge Houston of the County Court
submitted to the Board the reslgna-
ton of w. q. Matthews as a member
of the Board with the acceptance OF
the same. The Board ordered the
same to be recognized.
A. H. Burroughs of Lynchburg'
having surrendered and returned the
option for the purchase or sale OF the
1900 shares of stock il the Valley
Railroad company held by the Coun
ty of Rockbridge, at the price of Sl'
per share, it was ordered by the
Board that the said ordinance author
izing the execution of such optlof
be revoked and annulled.
Mr.. Matthews proposed to the
Board that he would undertake tC
purchase or to sell for them the 49O'
shares of stock at so per share ag
gregating $40, 900, providing the coun
ty would allow and pay him a com
mission of ten per cent on the amour
realized by the purchase or sale o
the said stock.
Mr.. Matthews desired thirty day
time for negotiating the sale of tn
stock.
The Board deeming it to be to tn
interest of the county TO sell at tina
price. the chairman, j. j. l.. KinneaI
was authorized and empowered /
behalf of the county to give w. q
Matthews the desired period of tim
asked for. All the members of tn
Board voted in the affirmative.
County Treasurer s. r. Moore wa
authorized and given power to ell
dorse and assign the certificates
the purchaser.
AS an evidence of earnestness an
sincerity on the part OF Mr. Mathew
he that morning rendered Treasure
Moore a New York draft for SAP, 90
and certificate for the holdings
the county was issued in the name
an individual whose identify has bee
withheld.
Many rumors are current, the fir
being that Mr. George w. Steven
president of the Chesapeake y On
was the pun chaser; another is TIL
the Southern Railroad was probab
y the purchaser, certainly the mo
= logical ones; and yesterday it WI
stated that it was the Baltimore
