| In view of the impossibility
of procuring Engines, Cars, Iron and other Railroad supplies to replace
such as have been worn out and destroyed in the use of the Government,
the Directors have determined to distribute among the Stockholders the
fund usually reserved for the above purpose, and which has been
accumulating since the commencement of the war, and have ordered that
Thirty Dollars on each share of stock be paid to the Stockholders in the
eight per cent. bonds of the Confederate States, or in the Treasury
Notes of the Confederate States, at the option of the President of the
Company. Said payment to be made on and after the first day of March.
Notice is hereby given that in accordance with the above order, payment
will be made at this office, and at the City Bank of Augusta, Ga. |
