. My dear Mn Nohvei-u
I kin much -obliged for your kinl
invitation to attend the celebration
ot the completion of the W.;N. C.
R.1L, to Murphy, and wish it were
possible for me to be present with
your people so that I might, assure
them that the felicitation .over this
very important event .not confined
to then4 hut ; is. common to all the
people of IS. C We have at last,
after many yean of toil and Ktruggte,
border the State with lines of travel
and transportation, so that from Cur
rituck to Cherokee, there is swift and
o -
easy communication. i.ou are no
longrr wedged in between Georgia
and Tennessee; but from your ex
treme border you nave a graand
highway to AiiheviMe and to Raleigh.
Your - friends in the cast, may now
see for tberanch-et; jthe. rich and fer
tile valley's f pasture- land and fine
farms, the huiunlain's and river the
mineral wealth jiiKt about to be de
veloped, and the.thonsand advan
tages which make the county of
Cherokee one of the richest and most
desirable of all the counties in the
State.
I trutit and believe, that the com
pletion of this ' road may prove of
the very highest .good to the whole
State, and may bind the more close
ly together the best cople in the
world, the people of North Carolina.
I hope you and yours are well and
doing well.' I would like to hear
from you sometime as to how you
aie getting along, and how the coun
try prospers and our friends are.
Your friend,
J. C. McRak.
Mehsbr. R. L. Hkrbert and oth
ers, Committee on Invitation, Mur
phy, N. C. .
Gentr.l received this morning
your invitation to meet wtfh the citi
zens of Murphy, and Cherokee coun
ty "North Carolina on the 23rd in st.,
t participate in celebrating the com
pletion of the Western North Caro
lina Railroad to Murphy. A busi
ness engagement to meet parties
here oiv that day, which I cannot
now alter, 'prevents' my acceptance
of your invitation. ' '
k. In behalf of the Chamber of Com
merce of the City, I congratulate
Murphy, and the strong arms and
stout hearts of those who have fought
"the world the flesh and the devil"
for her realization of this step in the
future. ''' ' ' "
"Go West .and grow up with the
countrv" is rapidly beaming. Go
mf aV w
South and grow up with the country."
"East and West lines" are bo longer
the only paying lines. The last ten
years have shown the largest united
growth on "North and Sonth lines.'
Southward "the Star of Empire"
points the way. Experience teaches
that few East and West Tines" pay,
unless they are fed in by feeding to
No w," that tour line to Savannah
and Norfolk is completed, your next
line it. the Murphy And Chattanooga

.1 hope Chattanooga may have the
optKJrtnnrty before many rears have
pawed, to unite the good people of
Murphy And Cherokee county, to
join with us to celebrate the opening
and the completion of the Murphy

. Qtntlemein'. I- cannot adequately
express the deep regret I feel, that
many circumstances beyond my con
trol, will prevent -aceepting your in-
fi.ood
;om-
Caro-
lina Railread; but though cbmpelled
to be absent, 1 will, in spirit, unite
with thera in their rejoicings pi this
great enterprise which for nearly
a-half century theyv have been ear
nestly looking and laboring, for with
alternate hope and .disappointment;
and I do this, the more cordially, be
cause it was my 'good fortune iji the
past to make this one of the.spccial
objects of my legislative labors. -; :
Most hastily do I-congratulate you
and, them outthis happy occasion, and
roost sincerely do I , believe it to be
the beginning of a new epoch iu the
history of your County. t y
Blessed as your, section is. with so
. ' - - . . . : ' ... ' -
majiy natural advantages, ana .en
iriihe! by such a variety of mineral,
and other wealth, there is eveiy rea
son to hope that the completion of
this Railroad, which brings your
people in closer and more intimate
commercial and social . relations with
the State, and-business sections or
the country, will be the mean. of
making it one ot the desirable, both
for homes and .bu.iuess investments
in'our ra,iidlv growing South laud.1
We people, therefore, have much
cause for rejoicing over this most au
spicious event. ' j ' .- - .
But I ican not) I rid. mysfelf --of t h o
ought and I 'trust I may be par
doned for alluding to it that in the
'great joy of the day there will be, I
know, sincere and heartfelt regret,
that he, who was the chief projector
of this great enterprise at the time
apparently impracticable of build
ing a railroad through the mountains
of Western North Carolina, and who
with such ; persistent teal, continued
his efforts in behalf of his section and
people in the face of discouragements
that would cause the stoutest hearts
to quail that's he, though living, is
prevented by his had affliction from
joining with his beloved people in
celebrating the commemoration of
his life-work. I need not say that I
refer to Col. William II. Thomas
nor Bhould proper tribute be with
held from others who were his co
laborer's and succeswfr's iu this great
work. The lamented Hayes, of your
own County, Bryson, of Swain and
Robinson, of Macon, and others, all
of whom so earnestly labor in behaff
of this Railroad.
It is befitting, that the celebration
of the laying of the Corner Stone of
the magnificent court house, which
you are to erect in Murphy, should
be the crowning act of this memora
ble occasion; For while the one be
tokens the administration of justice
in the courts of the County, the oth
er evidences the realization of that
justice to which the Western people
have been so many years entitled,
and for which they have so particu
larly waited. v
Again assuring you and the people
of my inexpressible regret at not
being able to be present and partici
pate with them in their rejoicings,
and renewing my warmest congratu
lations on the completion . of the
Western North Carolina Railroad.
I am with sentiments bt highest es
teem. Very truly yours, .

7UlItBe Bottled Up!
We clip' the following from the
Constitution of 29th:
Will the Marrietta and North
Georgia railroad be bottled up this
side of Knoxviile?
It js rumored in railroad circles
that matters between that road and
the East Tennessee are not satisfact
ory, and unless sornething is done
the road will not be permitted to
cross the Tennessee river.
At present" the road goes into
Knoxviile over the Marysville branch
of the East Tennessee. If the con
sent of the East Tennessee is with
drawn, there will be nothing left for
the Mafrietta and North Georgia rail
road to do but to build its own "bridge
across the Tennessee or stay out of
Knoxviile.
The road being in the bands of a
receiver in.no way conld ' the necessary-bridge
and track be built except
by issuing receiver's certificates. "
A call was made yesteryty on Judge
Henry B. Tompkius, ascertain
the truth of the rumor, bat it1 was
found that he was out of the city,
having gone to Knoxviile.
Judge Tompkins represents the
bondholders, and it is presumed that
he U now in Knoxviile for the - pur
pose of seeing if existing differences
cannot be, adjusted. .

Thirty years ago I gave to the
town of Munphy a street twenty feet
wide along the brow of the hill inter

reliably informed that some of the
business men in Murphy objected to
the work agreed upon, because they
could go to and from the depot with

If this charge is false, plea? go to
work and open up the street accord
