Money i'm BIOOded Cattle

At a sale of Jersey cattle i'll Clarks~
vile last week the prices ranged all
the way from $40 for month 5 old
to $40 for full grown COWS. The
Chronicle of that place says:
1t is easy to perceive at a stock
sale that it makes q big difference
how a COW is registered. Those reg
istered only in the American Jersey
Herd Book are not by any means so
valuable as those that have place
i'm the American Jersey Cattle Club
Register. Oak Hill Beauty was the
prettiest and most desirable cow for
use i'll the lot, but she only brought
S251, and the knowing ones say If
she had been in the y. j. c. c. r.,
she would have brought $1,000.
President Hadden came all the
way from his Taxing District to buy
Empress Sd. She is sprightly heifer
of 13 summers and brought 5000 of
the presidents good money. He is
enthusiastic about Jerseys.
The sale was very interesting
affair to all who attended, whether
they were purchasers or not. 1t no
doubt had a healthy influence i'll
| stimulating our people to raising fine
stock, and We hope such sales in this
section will be frequent in the fu-
ture.

THE C. C. G. & c. ROAD.
Present Prospects and Future Advan
tages of the Line.

Present prospects anu uttAC fAufaH
tages of the Line.
The editor Of the Morristown Gas
zette recently interviewed Secretary
Campbell, of the Cincinnati, Cumber-
land Gap & Charleston route, with
the following result:
Rep.-Maior, the people of all this
section are deeply interested as to the
present prospects of your road. What
are they.
Mai. C.-I can only say this: Our
financial agent is now in Europe for
the purpose of negotiating our
bonds, and he writes very favorably.
Rep.-Can you give me any idea,
Major, as to what your road will
build up when completed?
Mai. C.-Our line of road folms,
as you will see from this map, the
shortest route from the coal fields OF
KentuclE to the seacost at Charles
ton and Savannah.
am satisfied that the railroad com
sumption of South Carolina alone, to
to whom We can deliver their motive
power much cheaper than at present,
or from any other source they may
hope to get it, will give us not less
than 100 car loads per day.
Our fields are more than 500 miles
nearer (by ocean, to the Cuban and
the Southeastern Atlantic coast than
any other, not even excepting Bal
timore; and you know full well that
coal canot be hauled by rail for less
than 4-10ths of one cent. per
mile. With our great advantages i'll
distance by rail we can and will be
the coal fields for all the immense
to be furnished.
We are more than 100 miles shorter
from Lexington, r., and all the Blue
Grass region of that State, to Balti-
more and the eastern markets. 1t
may be true that our road will get a
short haul to Morristown; but the
East Tennessee, Virginia and Geor-
gia railroad will get Il long haul, and
we are simply giving to that system
what [ consider belongs to them.
Rep.-Your road will unquestion-
ably have a large traffic South
But, Major, will it pay you to haul
your empty cars for nothing?
Mai. C.-In looking over the entire
| find that i'll building all
our freight and passenger cars the
long leaf yellow pine of South Caro-
lima is what all the railroad compan-
les demand. This we have in unlim-
tied quantities. And besides this,
we also find in the State Of South
Carolina very rich aud pure deposits
of manganese, which [ am informed
is now largely imported from the
coast of Italy. This
item alone will give us back loads
for all our cars. You will excuse
me now, as [ have Il number of let
ters to write.

Postoffice Inspector by Postmaster
General Key. He has earned fine
reputation in this branch of the pub

due to Postmaster General Gresh,

has been favOrably commented
upon by the leading papers of the
country, a special to the New YORK
Tribune saying:
Mr.. Sharp is native OF New
York. He served in the Union
army as captain in an Ohio regl-
mept. He was afterward Collector
of Internal Revenue at ChattanOo-
ga, Tenn, and was appointed to his
present office by Postmaster General
Key. Mr.. Sharp bears high repu-
tition as an energetic and faithful
officer and as man of good charac-
ter, sound Judgment and excellent
executive ability. He has made an
extremely favorable impression up

him. The thorough and careful in
