 Purchase farming lands who would be eager to pay fancy prices for fields and forests now unoccupied He said that the Huntsville people were not welded nor pledged to any particular route that if the people he addressed desired the rail- road they should secure the rights of way donations of land on wnich to construct depots and should eagerly subscribe to stock in the corporation organized for the purpose of building tl road.
