The Nash County Railroad

A correspondent writing from Hen
derson to the Nashville Argonaut rela-
tive to the vote in favor of building the
railroad says:
By an almost unanimous vote Hen
derson has voted $35, 900 to the road
to run from here to your place or some
other point in Nasl county. When
the question was first mooted, there
was some opposition but nearly all of
it disappeared before the cry raised by
the solid. progressive business men of
the town. Henderson is still in the
ring and with the new road into Nash
county may be expected to make even
more rapid progress in the future than
in the past. The new census shows
that from l ,42l in 1880 Henderson has
grown to 4, 256 inhabitants. Few towns
in the State can show so good and in
crease. You don't hear much of her
booms. but just watch her for she is
steadily growing.
Nash county may look forward to
and expect great things from a close
railroad connection with Henderson.
for Nash can raise fine tobacco and
Henderson is the place to sell it. Her
lands will find ready sale on the mar
ket at good prices. Nothing can do
more to enhance the value of the lands
of any section than the difference to
the farmer in cotton at Q cents pound
and tobacco at such prices as Nash
county tobacco has been bringing in the
Henderson market. Again your other
farm products. besides tobacco, will
find a ready sale in Henderson. Hen
derson needs your lumber also, for is
not much of it rs good as that from
Moore county:

40 years, ought to know salt from sugar :;

Election Of Officers Of the Atlantic
Hendersou & Virginia Railroad.

At meeting of the incorporators OF
the Atlantic, Henderson & Virginia
Railroad company, 1.-THE name under
which the charter was obtained for the
purpose of building the road into Nash
county,, recently held, the following
officers were elected: President, ).
Il. Young; Vice-President. DIR. J. IL.
Tucker; Secretary, Samuel Watkins;
Treasurer, Col. VIM. H. S. Burgwyn;
Board of Directors: D. Y. Cooper, u.
b. Harris, VIM. II. s. Burgwyn, W.
S. Parker, J. r. Young, j. II. Tucker,
S. Watkins, Jas. H. Lassiter. These
are all good selections, representing
some of the largest property owners
and most substantial business men Of
the town. They are all men of good
sense and judgment who have made
success of their individual business and
are we'll qualified to assume the re-
sponsibility Of managing this important
enterprise.
Mr.. Young. who by virtue Of his
Office as President, is perhaps entitled
to more special menticn, needs neither
introduction nor commentator from
US. He is one of our best known citizens,
a man of fine business sense and execu-
tive ability, full Of enterprise, and
pushes to successful issue whatever
he undertakes. A man Of sound .iudg-
ment, broad views and advanced ideas,
he is at the some time careful and con-
servative and only acts after mature
thought and elaboration. Mr.. Young
assumes his office with determination
to put this enterprise through and under
his splendid executive ability and tire
less energy and activity we feel conf
dent that all will be done that could
reasonably be accomplished by any
man. Mr.. Young possesses in marked
degree those sterling qualities necessa-
ry to success in any great enterprise,
and we believe time will prove the
wisdom of his selection for this impor-
tant position.

We take pleasure in directing atten-
ton to the advertisement of Oak Ridge
Institute, Profs. J. A. and NJ. H. Holt,
principals, and endorsing the merits of
this excellent school. Its enrolment
during the scholastic year of 1890,
reached 267. This places it in the lead
among Southern schools. The reasons
for this unprecedented prosperity are
plain. It combines cheapness and
thoroughness with splendid new build
ings and furniture, while in beauty and
healthfulness of location it is unsur-
passed. The fall term will open Au-

Mrs. d. B. Garden has accepted
very tlattering offer tend cred her by the
president of Claremont College, at
Hickory, and she and her daughter
Miss Lena will leave about the first of
September to make their home in that
very delightful young city. Mr.. San
born and the patrons of the fiourishing
institution of which he is the head are
to be congratulated upon this addition
to the faculty. Mrs. Garden is highly
accomplished and thoroughly educated
woman and while we shall regret to
lose her services in Henderson we re-
gard her selection and acceptance as
most fortunate for Claremont College.
She has had large experience as a
teacher both in colleges of high grade
and in primary and intermediate schools
and will carry into her new position the
wealth of a richly stored mind and
years of practical application to her
chosen profession.

propose to make a great reduction in

some articles they will be cut square in

such q sweeping reduction that buyers
will be both astounded and delighted
