A THRIVING, PUSHING, PLUCKY TOWN-
THE TOBACCO INTEREST.
Cor. Bichmond Dispatch. : '
Oxford, N.C.. Jan. 31. Since mv
sojourn in Oxford I have seen much
to surprise me, for I had no idea
until! came and saw for myself what
go-aneati, live place of business it
. Oxford is already an embrvo
city. Everything is activity ; and
enterprise. . The r tobacco of . this.
bright golden belt region has a repu
tation throughout the world, and Ox-
ord h peculiarly the market on which
the bright yellow' wrappers.', may be
seeq on any big sale-day ..l-I attended
tobacco sales at the hve warehouses
here, audit, was an experience never
to be 'forgotten' The push energy .
and dash at these sales are beyond
description. There are something
near one hundred buyers on this
market, composed chiefly of young
men.' full of vim and pluck and pern
tectly prohcient in all ' things per
taining to the handling of Jthe aro
matic weed, It is relresning to talfc
to the business men of this city all of
whom have the utmost confidence in
s future, i Property is constantly
changing hands, and prices for real
estate are all the boom. New build-,
ings are visible in every direction.
By invitation 1 attended a meeting or
the Commonwealth Club, which was
organized to promote the prosperity
of Oxford. The subject of a new
hotel, a new bank, and another - rail
road were the topics discussed. 1 hat
of electric lights had been favorably
agitated at a pervious meeting. ' The
new depot of the Oxford and Char
otte railroad at this place is being
rapidly built and will be a commo
dious structure. , - .
By the way, this place will in short
time get cheaper rates of freight from
Richmond by some 12 cents on each
hundred pounds. This will approxi
mate the sum saved to the tobacconists
of Bichmond on each hundred pounds
of tobacco tney purchase here, as
hereafter shipments will be made over
tne Uxl'jrd and Charlotte road via
Keysville instead of vui Henderson
and Weldon as hitherto. These cheap
rates will be inaugurated, it is con
ndently beleived, in less than thirty
days possibly in less than hfteen
days.
