three years was O0kkeepcr and
salesman in the store of i. X. McCully,
sr. Leaving Anderson iii 1874 he spent
a year In Missouri, and, returning

mas followed the profession steadily
ana successfully ever since. The most
OF ms work as a teacher has been done

For several years the idea of rail

A vast section OF Blue Ridge noun

the proposed road lasting Mr. Frinke
said:
1.-The section which we propose to

There are q number of county seats
and towns which have no railroad con

"lt will be OF interest to state that
we now nave the road chartered in
Georgia and South Carolina. We
would nave to have a charter in this
State before we began building the
road.

question Of money for the road does
not bother us. as this is already pro
