thy valdostan, for $35O,OOO, under an
order of Judge w. E. Thomas, of the
Superior court. Mr.. Jones was the
only bidder, and his offer was at
once confirmed by the court.
The road runs from Valdosta to
Moultrie, about forty miles. 1t was

goo, practically all of the stock be-
irg owned by Valdosta men. Consid-
cradle money was spent on prelimin-

which followed made it impossible for
the road to meet the interest on its
100000 bond issue, all of which had
been bought by Mr. Jones.
