““TheFlorida, Atlantic & Gulf Central Railroad Company, incorporated by the general assembly oí Florida in 1853, built a railroad from Jacksonville to Lake City. The Pensacola & Georgia Railroad Company, also incorporated during the same year, built a road from Lake City through Tallahassee to Quincy, in the direction of Mobile, with a branch to Monticello; and the Tallahassee Railroad' Company, incorporated at a somewhat earlier date, built •another road from Tallahassee to St. Marks. Each of these companies became indebted to the state of Florida under the provisions of the internal improvement law; and, as a consequence, the road of the Florida, Atlantic & Gulf Central Company was sold on the 4th of March, 1868, by the trustees of the internal improvement fund, under the authority of law, to William E. Jackson and his associates; that of the Pensacola & Georgia Company on the 6th ■of February, 1869, to F. Eibble and his associates; and that of the Tallahassee Company on the same day and to the same parties.””
