Notice to Contractors and to those Wishing Railroad Employment
 
   Proposals will be received until the 10th of March for the Graduation of twenty (20) miles of the Shelby & Broad River Railroad. The Company will contract for the work in sections, or the whole; or they will hire the hands and engage the services of those who supply the labor. As the Government is interested in the speedy completion of this Road, the company will be able to offer great inducements to those furnishing twenty-five or more able-bodied negroes. The country is remarkably healthy, and is one of the most secure from hostile invasion. For further  particulars, apply to the undersigned, at Limestone's ??riags, S. C.
