Editor Covington Star :
Dear Sir—I see in your valuable pa¬
per some suggestions about the exten
sron of your local railroad from Oxford
to this place, and I am sure the people
of this section would gladly assist you
in bringing it here. Of course I do riot
mean that it should be built aad run as
a “street" railroad ; but I am sure that if
the line could be extended here, with
rails a little heavier, and a small engine
f >ut upon it, and it would pay handsome
y as an investment There is no doubt
about this.
Your correspondent has interviewed
many of the most substantial and well
informed citizens of our city, in regard
to the extension of the Covington and
Oxford railroad to this place.
Mr. E Rockmorethinks it would pay*
if cotton is shipped by it as it is a dr*
rect route to Augusta, which is a better
market than Atlanta.
Mr. W. F. Robertson thinks it would
be a good investment, if the people
would patronize it, as they would likely
do
Col. R. L. Cox thinks it would be a
good investment, and sa\* that Logau*
ville is doing a larger business this year
than ever before.
Your correspondent thinks it a neces¬
sity, and that Logansville is one of the
largest little towns iu Georgia without a
railroad. There are sight business bouses
and the people ars thrifty, energetic, and
certainly deserv* the road. With some

WHAT THE
NATIONAL
Garment Cutter Will Do.
Oxford, Ga., Feb. 25, 1SS9.
Mr. Henry Gralm,
National Garment CutierCo.
Dear Sir —I have seen many systems
for cutting garments, but the National
Garment Cutter surpasses any system
for cutting clothing for men, women and
children, I have ever seen.
MISS EMMIE STEWART.
Covington, Ga., Feb. 26, 1889.
Mr. Henry Graiin, Agent,
National Garment Cutter Co.;
Dear Sir— Systems for cutting garments
are very numerous; but. systems for)
hiking perfect fits are very scarce; and j
that is wily the National Garment Cut-j
ter j 8 go popular; for when correct tpeas
taken it never fails to make a fit.
MRS. J- T. CORLEY, Jr.
Oxford, Ga., Jan. 38,1889.
Mr. Ilenry Gralm:—After seven years
experienie in dress making and having
used and examined several different sys-.
terns for cutting clothing, I feel free to
recommend the National Garment Cut¬
ter as the superior of any system now in
use.
Respectfully,
MATTIE HYATT.
Covington, Ga., Jan. 1st, 1838.
National Garment Cutter Co. :
Gentlemen .-—Over two years ago I
purchased in Greeley, Colorado, the Na¬
tional Garment Cutter and can conscien¬
tiously recommend the system to every
lady haying cutting to do for herself or
others. In fact it is impossible to say
too much in its praise. It should be iu
every family as it cuts perfectly for men,
women and children.
Very Respectfully,
MRS. FANNIE C. BO YE.
Bowling Green, Ky., March 22.
Messrs. Goldsbcrry, Dorau A Nelso* :
After testing the National Garment
Cutter I feel free to recommend it lo all
whom it may concern. And have con¬
cluded it is just what I need. The styles
and fits are perfect.
Yours Truly,.
