RAILROAD TO OXFORD.
The agitation of the question of
a Riiilroad from Hen(.lerson to Ox
ford, has been a favorite theme
Avith editors and correspondents in
this vicinity for sometime.
It is now believed that if the peo
ple of this town and surrounding
neighborhood wdl do their full duty
in subscribing in aid of building
a road to connect with the llaleigh
& Gaston road that the scheme can
be easily consummated at an early
day—say by the 1st of October.
Business men, farmers, mechan
ics, law3'’ers, doctors, in short every
body, agitate this question, stir up
all with whom you may come in
contact and do your own duty in
contributing, and the road will soon
be in close proximity to your doors.
Old Oxford will arouse from her
lethargy, business will revive in
every department. Factories and
Warehouses will sping up, laborers
will find employment, money will
circulate more freely and a tliou-
sand advantages will greet us and
make us feel gratified at having
done our duty to ourselves and our
neighbors,
An exchange paper makes the

—Gov. Iv. B. Ilayes of Ohio will be
the Eepublican nominee for Presi
dent at Cincinnati, ^'econd—Gov.
Samuel J. Tilten of New York will
be tlie Democratic nominee for
President at St. Louis. Third—
Gov. Tilden will be elected in No
vember. •
It will be some tinio before we are
familiar enough with silver money
for the churcli going people to put
a silver quarter in the place and
forget there is no premium to come
back to him,
The Sultan of Turkey says no
man can be great whose eye-brows
are not shaggy. Ain’t we glad ours
are inclined to be shaggy.
The campaign promises to be very
exciting. It will pretty be hot about
the last of October. Keep cool—
and vote the Democratic ticket.
“I.et no single man escape,’’ is
tlie leap year motto of the ladies.
Escape wiiat we would like to know.
