| Rail Road Stock For Sale |
| On the third Monday of November next,
being the day of the meeting of the General Assembly, at the Court
House in Raleigh, at 11 o'clock, A. M., I will sell one hundred and
seventy-seven shares of Stock in the North Carolina Rail Road, in
quantities to suit purchasers. |

| Attorney |
| {Battle was also the President of
the Chatham RR, not yet under construction. That Road intended to use
8 miles of the North Carolina RR in getting its products to Raleigh. I
do not know if Battle owned these shares himself and was selling them
to ease the way for the Chatham RR or if he was selling them for
others. Ads for selling shares of stock usually mentioned 10 or fewer
shares for sale.} |
