sale and- the decree of court, and RT
Gray, Esq, the commissioner, made
some announcements. One of these
that the purchaser would be required
to pay 3000 in cash as a guarantee of
good faith, &c Mr Gray announced
that the sale would cover tne exclu
sive franchise, and said the city had
been vefy lenient In extending the
time until May 39, without forfeiture.
Auctioneer Stronach then put up the
property, as he said "for the high
dollar without any strings to it." It

Raleigh creditors will be very
willing: Much hard work will have
to be done to pat the road
