Southern Railroad. The near completion of the East Ten nessee, Virginia and Georgia railroad is already opening up competition for freight and travel, and new short lines, air iines and bee-lines to the north are being formed. The newest line was opened on the 19th, effected by the completion of the connecting link between Waynesboro and Koanoke, in Virginia, an 1 is to be known as the Shenandoah route. This will be a great short line between Bruns wick and New York, and touch Atlanta, Rome, Dalton, Cleveland and Knoxville, and is right on the line of the springs, caves and historic battle grounds of Vir ginia. A Herald Harbinger's Notos. X. Y. Z. in the Atlanta Evening Her ald, of the 24th, says of Dalton : 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. Murray County, via the Times. The wife of Dr. Thomas Leach w as not expected to live at last accounts —ty- phoid fever. Mrs. Dr. L. P. Gudger is lying criti cally ill at home, near the cross roads. Her recover}’ is thought to be impossible. Jathan Gregory has no small sheep ranche on the mountain having now near 400 bead of an excellent grade of sheep and is still buying. Miss Mattie Lochaby, well known in this community, will teach the public school at what is known as the Ad ims school house, two miles from the village. Fayette Varnell is the boss coon killer. He brought his coonship down by a gun shot from a tall tree and on being weighed pulled the scales down at twen ty-five pounds. Mrs. Angeliene Campbell, mother of our esteemed clerk, L. L. Campbell, is, we regret to learn very critically ill at her home on Holly Creek, the chances being strongly against her recovery. The prospect for a good corn crop was never more flattering. The cotton is growing nicely and a fair crop is looked for. The wheat is turning out well, the out crop is excellent, the clover and grass crops are fine and general agricul tural prosperity pervades the country. Those at a distance who want to know our market here are informed that chick ens sell at 15 to 20 cents, butter 15 to 20 cents, bacon from 15 18 cents, eggs 10 cents, mutton 6 cents, vegetables of all kinds abundant and no sale for them, meal goes at $1.30 per bushel, wheat will be, we think, just about $1 per bushel.

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 tuillv n.- lb Ti ibiine. list.
