Rabun Gap Extension to Be Built.

Knoxville (Tenn.) Sentinel, June III
While Knoxville has been waiting for
definite news regarding the Frisco, the
Southern railway has been preparing to
surprise the people hers and give them
something tangible in the way Of railroad
building.
1t may be authoritatively stated that
work will begin on the Rabuu Cab extern
sion of the Southern Railway in few
days.
Indeed, the men to do the work have
already been gathered by the COD tractor,
w. j. Oliver, and are on their way to the
scene of operations.
Mr.. Oliver has Just returned from Wash
ington, whore he was awarded the con-
tract, and the final details were arranged,
and he was instructed to 90 ahead with
the work, but when seen he refused to
make a statement. The above facts, how
Southern Railway and are accurate.
The meaning of this piece of news for
Knoxville and vicinity is that the forty
six miles of railway between Ma ryville
and Bushnell, N. c., will be built at once
by local contractors. Over half a million
dollars will be spent on the road. The
Southern Railway will have short line
duced to a minimum. This will enable
shippers of coal and other mineral pro-
ducts as we'll as manufacturers to market
their products at much less cost than
at present. IT will better the p assenger
service materially.
The dream of John G. Calhoun, who
sought the linking of the southeast and
the middle west, will be realized. This
is the very railroad route over which the
railroad he projected was to run.
From Bushnell, N. c., this railroad will
be farther extended to strike the main
branch of the Southern at Anderson, s..
g., and will there reach inches for
Charleston, Savannah and other south
eastern points.
This is the best news that Knoxville
has had since the announcement that the
Louisville & Nashville was coming here.

Address and Singing at New Hope.

There will be an all-day singing at
New Hope Baptist church on June 25th.
Sunday school will begin at 8 o'clock,
singing from 10 to IL. An address on
Sunday school work will be delivered by
Col. julius E. Boggs. All who have ever
heard him on an occasion of this kind
know what treat is in store for them.
Dinner will be served on the grounds.
Singing in the afternoon conducted by
Profs. j. FL. Durham, Manning A. Wood,
G. R. D. Burns and others. The public
is cordially invited.
The free advertising some persons
are giving the all day singings will tend,
if possible, to increase interest and at
tendance. These occasions will stimu-
late and arouse the local talent in song
service, and will promote greater de-
velopment in congregational service and
better attendance upon all kinds of re-
ligious meetings. "s~

0conee County Railway Commissioned.

Columbia special, June 80: "The Oco.

This enterprise, If successful, will be

splendid section of Oconee, and the
proposition should meet with hearty ap-
proval and liberal support at the hands
of those who have capital to invest. 1t
