A Herald Harbinger's Notos.
X. Y. Z. in the Atlanta Evening Her

The composition of Miss Ella Lewis
was possibly the best one that has been
written by any Junior since we have had
a college.
Miss Bertha Keller was the recipient
of a handsome present from her teacher
as being desidedly ahead of her class in
every respect.
The stage decorations was under the
supervision of Miss Jennie Jones, the
Art Teacher, and truly they reflect much
merit upon her.
Miss Fannie Waterhouse was married
on 20th inst. Her father’s present to
her was a. check for $30,000.
Dalton is a progressive city, and don’t
propose that any one shall be ahead of
her as it is again becoming “the gi” for
duels. Two of our best business men
have desided to satisfy their wounded
honor by the code duel. The sheriff is
in possession of their namesand if they
persist in these beligerent feelings tis
probably they will be arrested.
Crawford High School.
The recent commencement exercises
of this institution gave evidences of its
high standing, superior course of instruc
tion and efficient government. We did
not have the pleasure of being present at
all the exercises, but from our own ob
servation and the information gained
from others, they, were highly creditable
both to teachers and pupils. This insti
tution under its present able and effi
cient government is justly recognized as
one of the best high schools in North
Georgia.—Spring Place Times.

kinds abundant and no sale for them,
meal goes at $1.30 per bushel, wheat
will be, we think, just about $1 per

effort. As we
glance over the field of the many who
have more than earned a titled distinct
ion, Air. D. J. Oxford, contractor and
builder, naturally suggests the promi
nence of the first of a series of sketches
which the Argus has had prepared for
early publication.
Mr. Oxford was born into this vale of
tears without even a gleam of bright
ness on the horrizon of his upward fu
ture, passing the natural instinct which
has prompted his youthful efforts and
culminated in the pride of success.
In 1867, without so much as the first
tutorage of apprenticeship, we find him
working as a day hand, filling the place
of a mere utility man in the construc
tion of cheap houses then being rushed to
completion in Dalton, to supply the de
mand of its hurried recovery from war
effects. But under his quick eye,
ready native genius and active brains he
advanced rapidly in the arts of his trade,
and became one of the most successful
contractors of this section just at a time
when our growing town began to demand
a more pretencious architecture.
Thus stimulated he built a handsome
and commodious residence for himself,
and married a most estimable lady,
whose domestic qualities were such,
that Mr. Oxford rapidly increased his
property, building quite a number of
tenement houses in the city.
About this time his first venture as an
extensive contractor learned him an im
portant lesson, which, once realizing, he
was not slow to utilize. He found that
a deficient education was a source of
positive uncertainty in his business, and
for some time, he applied himself under
competent masters in the special studies
nechssary to a scientific understanding
of the mechanism of modern architec
ture.
In the last ten years he has built a
college building in Dalton, one in Ala
bama, together with six or eight court
houses in various parts of Georgia and
Tennessee, several commercial blocks,
and is now’ about completing the city
hall at Rome, Ga., at a cost of $14,000.
The entire work of his contracts in this
time has cost over $150,000.
I lis latest securement is a contract for
a court house at Tallahassee, Fla., for
which he gets in the proximity’ of s2l
- And in all of this work Mr. Oxford
has given invariable satisfaction, as an
evidence of which wo understand that
gentlemen of Dalton who first became
hie bondsman for faithfnl performance,
have stood by him in all his extensive
contracts.
Mr. Oxford is a citizen whom any
town might well delight to honor.
We congratulate him on his recent
heavy contracts and success, and are
pleased to pay him this small tribute.
Judge JlcCutclien for Congressman at
Large.
Following the precedent of the in
dependents as well as the organized
democrats, both of whom seem anx
ious to elect a pure, unsullied, compe
tent and incorruptible man for gover
nor of Georgia this year, the people
should go a step further and elect the
same kind for congressman-at-large.
It is not a question as to which portion
of the state should elect him; but it is a
question as to whether he is such a per
son as will fill the position with honor
to himself and credit to his constituents.
We have in our mind a gentleman who
will “fill the bill’’—a man who is ripe in
years and experience, pure, incorrupti
ble, honest, fearless, who stands well at
home with his neighbors who know him
best and whose public record is without
spot or blemish around it or near it.
We refer to Hon. C. D. McCutchen, of
Dalton,—a man who while serving sev
eral long terms as judge never rode a
single mile on a free pass, who preferred
and always sat upon the judicial bench
unbiased; who pays his debts, is the
father of a glorious family and who is
so endeared that the whole world can
greet him as a perfect man. We have
not seen this gentleman for several
years, but we know whereof we speak,
lie is a man who would not pay a hire
ling or a henchman a single cent to elect
him to the congress of the nation, yet,
if the people so honored him he would
represent them fairly and impartially
ami all the gold that the north and all '
the honors that the railroad magnates |
of the United States could shower upon
him could not tempt him to raise his
voice or cast a vote contrary to the inter
ests of the people of Georgia. Once in
the balls of congres, as the rugged
mountains of his native state defies the
storms and tempests, so would he stand
like solid granite and defy the wiles,
the lobbyists, the temptress, and the
manifold machinery run by capital for
the purpose that the people might groan
■Ld continue to bear burdens while the
continue to heap up ami
