N. A. RIGGINS. 0 While there may be room for a dif- ference of opinion as to the advis- obility of issuing bonds for other purposes, there should be an unani- mous sentiment in favor of the Seal: The said corporation may have a Seal, bearing whatever words or de- sign said corporation may desire, and said Seal shall be kept in the custoly of the Secretary of the corporation. The names and residences of the subscribing incorporators of this cor- poration, together with the amount of capital stock subscribed by each are as follows: Edith C. Clemence, Lakeland, Flor- ida, $2,000; 80 shares. G. C. Williamson, Lakeland, Flor- iaa, $2,000; 80 shares. W. 8. Moore, Lakeland, $1,000; 40 shares.
