Thrash & Co, i. 41 Patton Ave- After fifty years of m hopes and disap pointments, trials and tribultations, the people of North Carolina can rejoice over ;the completion of the railroad to Murphy, thus i connecting the extreme western limit of our State with its ocean coast, jln commemoration ofj this great event the citizens of Murphy and surrounding jsection appointed Thursday, the 33rd of July, for a day of rejoicing. Extensive (Preparations were made, among others, ithe laying of the corner-stone of Cher jokee's new and elegant court house, junder the auspicies of the Grand Lodge of Masons of North Carolina, a big barbacue, &c, &c. ) Special trains were run from Ten nessee, Georgia ' and : from Asheville. 5upt. Bridgers and Passenger Agent Winburne not only furnished ample train j accommodations but attenaea tueniseives With Train Dispatcher Foster. They gave very low rates, too, thus showing their readiness to contribute to the suc cess of so praiseworthy an occasion. On the day appointed there were from 2,500 to 3,000 people psesent and a more orderly crowd we have never seen. All entered into the Spirit of the occasion with evident pleasure, and barring a few showers during the day, all really en joyed it. ; j At 11 o'clock the masons, to the num ber of about 300, marched from their lodge room to the site of the new court house, escorting Grand Master H. A Gudger and other grand officers of the Order. The Grand Master then laid the corner-stone with the impressive ceremo- bies of his Order. The brass band 01 Cherokee Indians connected with the Indian school in Swain county furnished excellent music throughout ' the day.

Raleigh, N C, July 20, 1891. To MkssrsJ J. W. & R. L. Cooper : Gents: I have just received your kind invitation to be present with the citizens cf Murphy and Cherokee county, at Murphy on the 23d inst. In reply per mit me to say that nothing would afford me more pleasure than to be with you, but I am compelled to leave this p. m. to attend the encampment of the State Guard at Wrightsville, and cannot pos sibly leave there before the morning of the 23rd. I am sure that no one will rejoice more than I will over the com pletion of that great work to its western terminus. Iliave always done what I could to consumate this desired end. I have been in a positron to aid it and have always stood firm in my desire to see that part of my native State developed, which could only be done by railroads penetrating it. I, in the legislature of 1885, confirmed my desires by acts, as the bill which was absolutely necessary to become a law, in order to complete the work, was tied five times in the House, and I as speaker broke the tie in each along the line of the work may be bene fitted and their highest expectations realized. , Regretting my inability to be present with you,-1 am, Yours very truly, Thos. M. Holt, Governor. From Col. A. B. Andrews: Richmond & Danville R. R. Company. OFF'CE OF SECOND VICE-PRESIDENT. Raleigh, N. C, July 20, 1891. To Messrs. R. L. Herbert, F. P. Axley, J. W. Cooper, R. A. Aiken and Ben. Posey, Co aimit ee of Invitation, Mur- j phy,N. C: Gentlemen : In acknowledging your pleasant invitation to be present upon the occasion of the celebration of the completion of the "Western North Caro lina railroad to Murphy, I confess to the feeling of a keen disappointment. The day which you have selected happens to be my fiftieth birthday, and no ordinary circumstances could prevent my attend ance, but it so happens that engagements entered into some time a?o of great im- lTieu r ipmance and which cannot be postponed, appearance as mey surrounueu iuc pum -ender it impossible for me to be with lor iEnd for a DESCRIPTIVE LIST -OF- of interest. A number ot documents, ec, were deposited with the corner stone. ; At the conclusion of this service the immense crowd repaired to the cjol spring on the Hitchcock place, near the town, where, in a dense and beautiful grove, the barbacue had been spread and stands for the speakers erected. "Mv P. VL Xm-vell. Ot MurpilV, caueu the meeting to order and aeu eieu a, short address of welcome and congratu lation. ' Hon. A. T.

Davidson in a tew remarks vmv;u, while congratulating the people upon the great event they had met to celebrate, admonished them the road would not of itself develop Cherokee county; that only by their own efforts could this be done, the road only furnishing them a means by which to work out their own destiny. He referred to the laitmui work done in the past by representatives of Western Carolina and friends in East ern Carolina and of the States, pecially Wllliamc. 5 Pa M7 CoL Andrews ol. isuioro, juaj. ?? lulalllS CC JJ wiicnn Pnl Tate and the members of I f tAWWM w ' - the R. & D. company to secure the com- vou m Derson. nease uear witness me to the people of Western North Car olina, and especially to those of Graham, Cherokee and Clay, that I have fulfilled the promise made to North Carolina. To-day an unbroken line of rail connects the harbors of Beaufort and Wilmington with the country nestled under the shadow of the Unaka mountains. Difficul ties of engineering, of construction, of legislation, of finance, most ot wmcn have not and never will be known to the public, have been met and overcome. Let us hope that the undeveloped wealth of Cherokee, her iron ore hidden in its rocky bed, her marble covering as with a floor the lovliest valley that ever smibd beneath a summer sun, will prove a source of income to her people. Whatever can be done by the Rich mond & Danville railroad company or by myself to aid in this development you may rest assured will be done. . Very truly your friend, 1 A. B. Andrews. ltr makes.

From his Also an admirable letter from Hon Thos. D. Johnston. We were disap pointed in not receiving a copy of this letter with the others. Will publish next week. 1 After this the immense concourse were invited to partake of the great feast pre pared for the occasion. There was an abundance of the substantial for all, and it was fu.ly enjoyed. After dinner admirable speeches of congratulation were delivered by Hon. W. T. McCarron, of Athens, Tennessee; Col. H. B. Hardy, of the Raleigh State Chronicle; Col. Burckitt and CoL Turley, of Athens, Tenn.; Hon. H. A. Gudger, of Asheville; Maj. B. L. Duke, (of the cele brated firm) of Durham; Benj. Posey, Esq., and Hon. J. W. Cooper, of Cherokee. Notwithstanding it was showery off and on during the evening, the large .crowd stood their ground and enjoyed the ad dresses, and were pleased with all of them. Thus concluded the most important day in the history of Cherokee county and a celebration worthy of the occasin. Mayor Herbert, Messrs. Axley, Norve'.l, Campbells, Cooper, Posey, Aiken, Meroney and others, indeed the whole community, certainly performed their duties with admirable taste and thought fulness. To all of these we extend sin cere congratulation! upon the happy result of an occasion so interesting- in all respects. Now our Cherokee friends have the opportunity they have so long needed and wanted. They have a county of almost limitless resources, but by their own energy can these be developed. They must show these to the world, and thus invite and attract capital to go in and help develop them. As was stated to them by those who addressed them, upon themselves ah depends whether they are 'to realize all the benefits the railroad can1 confer. Murphy is one of townTn ''the T country. ItlsfiTo't bUrpasseu in climate or other material advantages, while its surroundings in things which go to make up a large, prosperous, indus trial centre are not surpassed on the globe. The. Democrat wishes them God speed in their efforts to develop their splendid section. i NOTES. We have never seen such promising crops of corn, glass and tobacco as the farms from Asheville to Murphy now bear. The Yalley river section is a sight of pleasure to any one, and must be encouraging to its farmer residents. The marble corner stone for the new court house was chosen trom and kindly donated by the Kinsey Marble Works, near Murphy, on the evening of the 22d, and by hard work continued throughout the night, was prepared and in place in time for the occasion. Tne party from whom it was first ordered failed to have it in time, and Mr. F. P. Axby, who knows no such word as fail, procured it and had it furnished as above state.1. The sentiment of the people of Chero kee i that now the road must be pushed on to Chattanooga, and our Tennessee friends all responded, Amen! with assur ances of co-operation to the proposition. This connection is one of the certainties of the future. It was unaimously voted that the most eloquent speech made during the day was made to some ladies by Passenger Agent Winburne, of the W. N. C. R. R. Col. Bridgers, the able superintendent, pre pared an able and eloquent impromptu speech, butwas paralyzed into silence by Mr. Winburne's flowery encouragment in behalf of the passenger department of his road, and a heavy rain which set in when hif time on the programme arrived. Brothers Campbells and Meroney, of the Murphy press, were assiduous in their attention to the visiting multitude, and were happy in being so. They are proud of their county, as they well may be, Maj. B. L. Duke, 4 The Duke of Dur ham," has invested largely in real estate in and around Murphy, and is more than pleased with his investments. He re gards Murphy as the coming center of one of the most important industrial sections of the rapidly developing 'South. City Alderman J. M. Gudger w&s in attendance. He is a Mason, and so im pressed himself upon his brethren that they expressed a wish for him to return at some future time and deliver a lec ture upon the subject of Masonry. In a little while the bridge across Hlwassee river will be completed, when direct connection between Asheville, via Murphy with Atlanta and Knoxville will be established. It will be the short est route from Asheville to Aslanta.
