New Energy--Tle Land and Improve
i meiit Company--Tobacco Interests.
Raleigh News-Observer.
It is always a pleasure for the Ne7vs
Obsen'er to note the progress of a live,
progressive North Carolina town.
Surrounding the brick and mortar and
business of the town of Oxford has al
ways appeared an atmosphere of that
delicate refinement and social quali
ties which can only come from educa-
tion and mental training.
Oxford now, as never before, seems
be asserting and not only asserting,
but' making good her claims as a thor-
oiighly progressive, wide-awake busi-
ntjss town. The time of waiting and
doubting has past, : but through new
enterprises and more progressive methods-success
is now assured. The
LAND AND IMPROVEMENT COMPANY
Has infused new lite and energy
throughout the entire town: nor has it
been confined to those living immedi
atelv in the towri. The streets here
every day show by the increased nam
ber of people who come here, that the
farmers and citizens in the county are
manifesting a substantial interest in
m 1 - 1
the rapid improvement wnich is so
marked and which promises to be so
successful. Every one is now anxious
ly looking forward to the 8th, 9th and
ioth. of October. This is the time at
which the one thousand lots, and also
the elegant and desirable "Grandy
Residence," will be disposed of. The
public know how vvell and how exten
sively this sale has been , advertised.
At least ten j thousand -persons are ex
pected to be in Oxford on this occa-
sion, and tor tne purpose 01 securing
this end cheap excursion rates will be
had on all the railroads leading into
Oxford. T iearn that the stock has all
or very near all been disposed of arid
that the books on the 18th day of Sep
tember will be closed. Col. Scott, a
practical engineer, has been engaged
for several months making maps and
drawings of the lots preparatory to the
sale as above stated. :

Splendid Returns from Tobacco.
The Wilmington Messenger, of Sat
urday last,! says : I
Sheriff E. M. Johnson,, of Pender,
received his return from his first ship
merit of tobacco, on Thursday. The
sale was made in Oxford, and the
highest price realized was $60 a hun
dred pounds. He sold onlv the pro
duct -A one-third of an acre and real
iz d 109.20. Mr. Johnson savs that
it was tne sorriest of his crop, and on

trse-same l ais n is twenty acres - ot to

received the higl.jst price that tobac

enterprising proprietors of Meadows'
tobacco warehouse, who sold the to
bacco for Mr. Johnson at their
spacious wur I. uu-c;
TOBACCO WAREHOUSES.
I see here six warehouses now in op
eration, at which sales are had every
day . Tobacco is now coming .in by
the! car loads,! and brought by wagons
from the extreme western down to the
eastern border or the bright tobacco
belt of the State. I saw today on the
warehouse floor of Davis & Gregory
some beautiful lots of fine yellow to
bacco which; was grown in the coun
ties of Franklin, Nash and Pitt.
j NEW WAREHOUSE GOING UP.
Capt. A. F. Spencer, an extensive
contractor arid builder, tells me, that
never in the history of the town was
there such a demand for buildings. I
notice that the roof is just being put
on the new 'Alliance Warehouse"
which I suppose is the largest house of
the sort in the State, being 80x225
feet. The work on this building is
admirably done. It will contain two
handsome offices in" front and the very
best accommodations for the farmers
who bring their tobacco here to be
sold. This building is on Main street,
easyjof accepfrom all -directions, and
is near the B&k of Oxford. On an
other principal stand, and near the
celebrated Kingsbury property, is an
other warehouse 200x75, feet being
built by Mr. Owens but which will be
opened this season by Messrs. Davis &
Gregory. j .
In addition to these we see new
prize houses going up on all sidts, one
by R. W. Winston, Esq., 80x50 feet,
one by Dudley Bullock of the same di
mension, and still another by Messrs.
Adams & Scrtt, 120x80 feet.
GOOD ENTERPRISE NEW DEPARTURE.
One of the best enterprises possible
to have been conceived by the tobac
co men of Oxfoid, is now an assured
fort.
