Don;t Read This, Brother Fitzpatrick.

Delphi Journal: The work of O. F. Knowlton, interurban promoter, was brought vividly oefore a number of people in this county last week, when those who had bought stock at $25 per share received notice that the company was insolvent and they would be required to pay the remaining $75 per share of stock subscribed to dear up the indebtedness'of the company. The proposed line was to run thru Flora, Camden, Rockfield and Idaville and considerable money was raised in these places to pay for the survey. 16 was a wild-cat scheme from the start and the people who donated for the survey, taking stock in return, Will probably not pay any attention to the notices recently received.
