Mcfarland and her daughters,
Misses Annie and Emma, of Norris
town, are visiting Mrs. Depue on
Clineh street.
The departure laet week of DIR.
John l.. Howell and family, wife
and one child, for California, causes
genuine regret among his many
friends here. DIR. Howell goes to
Fresno City, where he has relatives
and aequaintances and where he
will perhaps locate and practice his
profession. The cause of his re-
moval was the i'll health of his wife,
which he thinks will be benefited
by the dry altitude of the Pacific
Slope. He is n skilled physician
and stood high in the profession
here. We wish him and his a full
realization of all their anticipations.
OF our new merchants and young
friends, Messrs c. d. Blanten and
o. NJ. league, the Marion On. c.
Lamp Post says: "Mr. G. ID. Blan-
ton left this morning for Msrristown,
Tennessee, where he will open. an
entire new stock of general mer-
chandise, just purchased in the
Northern cities. Mr.. Blanton is
enc of our most popular young men
and a fine salesman, and will make
to himself friends in his new home.
Mr.. o. NJ. league goes to engage in
business for Mr.. Blanton. Tive
such good looking young Carolins
ians, hearts whole and fancy free,
ought to make an impression in the
daughter State" We tender the
new corners a hearty welcome, and
predict for them a successful career.
Mr.. VIM. Hamilton, from Glas-
gov, Scotland, visited our city on
Wednesday last to consult with |
Maj. Gregg and the other Morris
town directors, as to the prospects
Of the early completion of the Caro-
INA, Cumberland Gap and Chicago !
Railway. This gentleman is the
chairman of the syndicate in Scot
and that has recently made ex-
.ensive purchases of mountain lands
IN Pigeon river, North Carolina, for
he purpose of colOnizing and de-
Teloping the property. The nat-
lrAl and only practicable outlet |
hey have to this property is via the
Carolina, Cumberland Gap and Chi
,ag0 Railway, rs the line of this
road passes up the Pigeon river val
ey through their property a dis
lance of II miles. This syndicate
which Mr.. Hamilton represents will,
he thinks, render substantial finan>
cial aid towards the building of our
railway-as he is fully satisfied that |
he investment in this line of rail-
way will be one of the best on this |
sentiment. Maj. Campbell, Secre-
Iary of the Company, has prepared |
for Mr.. Hamilton to take with him,
3 complete case of samples of the |
minerals all along the line |
Of our railway, with which Mr.. |
Hamilton can readily explain to his
friends across the water the result |
Of his Investigations.
