Railroad and the Richmond & Danville Railroad are involved are being tried to-day(Thursday) before his honor Judge T. B. VYomack. There is a great array of counsel em ployed to represent the different interests. J. S. Manning, Esq., represents the town of Durham; Col. J. W. Hinsdale, John Devereux, Jr., and W. W. Fuller the Dur ham & Northern Railroad, and Messrs. F. II. Busbee and A. S. Grandy the Rich mond & Danville and Oxford & Clarks ville Railroads. These gentlemen are of such well known ability that all the sides of the vaiious cases will be strongly rep resented. The question at issue relates to the occupancy by the Railroads of Peabody street in Durham. The interest in the case has produced great excitement in our neighboring town. As we go to press, counsel are tiring off their legal artillery. Major John V. Winder, General Super, intendent of the Seaboard system, is iu j attendance. Bine Wing HapiM-miiusis. Crop prospects fair, except the scarcity of tobacco plants. The community is so healthy that all I the physicians have left. ! The prospects for the early building of i the Greensboro an I Norfolk railroad are constantly brightening. The. fertilizers are coming in on the j Atlantic & Danville to Yircarol in large quantities. The Railroad Company, it ; is said, will soon build a depot and send an agent to this point. The merchants at both Blue Wing and i Vircarol are doing a lively trade, consid ! eringthe hard times. Meal and meat are now to le had as low as in any of -the I towns and many farmers supply the in -: selves here. j Mr. C. A. Tuck and Mr. Pannebaker have began laying off the town at Tucks : X Roads, or Yircarol, and many persons ! are anxious to locate here, as this is the probable point of junction of the Greens ' boro connections. j The Washington company,at the Royster I mines, are now running their concentra ting works night and day. The shaft will now be sunk about COO feet in order to thoroughly test the value of the ore. The concentrates now being shipped turn out 40 per cent, of pure metal and it is thought will be much richer at a greater depth below. Large stock of Iron Age Cultivators and Double Shovel Plows fur sale b' J. F, Edwards. KiMiricn Ieatli of Mr. i: lias J. Jenkins. On Tuesday morning, Mr. Elias J. Jen kins, of Brassfield town-hip, leftthe bosom of his family and came to Oxford with a load of tobacco which he sold with Messrs. Davis fc Gregorj' at good prices. After the sale he went to the Bank of Oxford and had a pleasant conversation with the excellent President, Dr. II. C. Ilerndon, after which he came on up town and met with several friends and chatted with them good humoredly. While walking down the short street leading from Main to the rear of the Market House, he sud denly dropped to the sidewalk, several persons near by ran to his assistence and tried to raise him up and found that he was unconscious. They carried him to the Market House and laid him down but he soon breathed his last. The imme diate cause of death was heart disease. The body was taken to the Osborn Hotel and properly cared for by the friends of the deceased, and a messenger dispatched to convey the sad intelligence to his family. Mr. Jenkins was 49 years old and was a gentleman of considerable ability. En dowed bj' nature with an unusually bright intellect he had great faculty in acquiring knowledge. He was also rarely gifted in imparting information, and in a famiPy of brothers in which several were quite talented it may be said that he was not inferior to any of them in intellectual powers. Being fond of books he had read extensively and was well qualified as a teacher, the vocation which he coupled with that of agriculture. He was a brother of Prof. W. II. P. Jenkins, Paul Jen kins, Esq., Rev. J. W. Jenkins, and Maj. J. P. Jenkins, of Nashville, and two maiden sisters residing at the old home stead in Granville. Besides being one of the leading citi zens in Brassfield township, he was one of the very best of its many worthy citizens. In whatever would advance his neighbor hood or the general interest of the public he bore a leading part. He was a teacher and a farmer as before stated and also 'a magistrate having served in the latter capacity many years most efficiently . He was an active member of the Meth odist Church and Superintendent of Grove Hill Methodist Sunday School. This sudden demise is one encircled with peculiar gloom and sorrows as he leaves behind a wife, and seven children, five of whom are boys and two girls the same number left by his father when he died to wit: five boys and two girls. This bereaved family have the sympathies of the whole community in this hour of their overshadowing sorrow. His remains were carried to Brassfield for interment on Wednesday. A iiisance. The negro restaurants on Main street have become a nuisance on account of the large number of half grown negro boys who congregate in front, of them taking possession of the sidewalk, and i one half of the time will not hardly allow room for ladies to pass. A few days ago we counted 21 of these loafers in one drove and the language they use very often should not be allowed on the streets We truly hope our Mayor will break up this gang, and if there is such a thing as a vagrant law take them up and make them work on the streets. We are frank in saying that it is a disgrace to Main street to allow this gang of uncouth, impolite, and profane mob to take full possession of the sidewalk and force people to take the middle of the street in order to keep from coming in contact with this vile element of our community. Enforce the law if there is one, if not make one in order that we may get rid of them. Scoop Tlicni In. Everybody is on the look out for bar gains whenever they start out trading, and as money is close now is the accepted time to embrace every opportunity to secure goods at bed rock prices. E. T. Rawlins comes to the front boldly and quotes Shoes, Dry Goods, and Clothing at such figures as are not offered every day, and must be sold. He means business and all you have to do is to give him a call and you will be sure to buy as he is offering goods at such extremely low prices that you would buy them any how and put them away for future use. Read his advertisement. Messrs. S. L. Russell and Clem Carring" ton are with Mr. Rawlins and would be more than pleased to have their friends take advantage of the rare bargains that are now being offered.
