The last doubt has been reoved as to the ability of Chesterfield ' sell the bonds. The town council ssterday closed the deal for $16,000 orth of bonds at a price well above ir. Such is the fame of Chesterfield iroad that when J. H. Hilsman & o.f of Atlanta, bond brokers, learned tat the cheery and courteous town as issuing bonds, they immediately int their representative, Mr. Tindell, i the town on the ridge. They not lly offered par value for the bonds, it were so anxious to obtain some ;al gilt edge security on the town hich is two degrees removed from a sod town, being of degree superlave, The Best. The final offer, which as accepted, was $16,160.00, net, in ROLWE 3 The people of the Shiloh communir attended an all-day singing last unday at Bethel Methodist church, hich is located about ten miles south f Chesterfield.

To sum up, having a purchaser on hand for bonds of the description to be issued Hillsman & Company made a very advantageous offer to Mayor and Council for our town. After going into the matter in detail the officers accepted the offer whereby Hillsman & Co. pay all expenses incident to the issue of bonds includ; ing engraving of bonds, al llegal fees as to validity, etc. in addition to paying 101 cents on the dollar and acI crued interest. The only reason that the matter could be handled in this way was that money is at present easier than at an ytime since 1907, and no matter how much bonds may fluctuate in the future, the town is protected at the contract price, i Mayor Odom has in his possession , certified check on First National Bank of Atlanta, as a forfc i All that remains is for the election i to be held.
