' The B&Ilrcai We had something to . say re cently .of a railroad fromOxford to Henderson, or some other point. 5Ve need greatly an outlet. Let a road, narrow guage or of the usual width; be built, and in five years our town will be doubled in inhabitants,- and quadrupled in trade. Kow. what hinders the construction of such a road! It cannot be money. The1 people interested are abundantly able to construct and equip such a road. Let land owners give sections of 1 and; let those who do not own real estate substitute so much, or agree to have such a 'distance of the road built, let all give or do something, and the road can and will be built. ' What is needed is determina- ti'M- and combination. As soon as t Be moneyed men make up their minds fully that they must have a railroad, then the success of the project is assured. A half dozen wide-awake public-spirited citizens ean stfve the scheme such an im- petua that it cannot fail. A lib eral subscription :i and a strong L united effort on their part would arouse the people and secure the necessary means, Will they make the move ? How is the time. j Many railroad towns are rapid ly improving, whilst inland towns are stagnant and rctrograting. AU along the various - railway lines of our State villages are springing up and the -old towns are rapidly growing, both in pop ulation and trade, wo can hear of no town off the road that is jnak ing aay progress. ' : It is strange that all of pur peo ple do not so realize the absolute necessity of a railroad as to cause a vigorous and persistant effort to be made for the accomplishment of so important and greatly to be desired neecL We must express the hope that the . matter will not be allowed to sleep, but that some immediate steps will be taken; to carry this plan into execution. There must be a beginning to ey- ory thing. Will there ever be a beginning to an enterprise like ithisl He who wins the victor must 6trike the blow. They who r.vould see Oxford and Granville imrrove must strike hard for a ti-aihcad. ' ' . , :. i ' Ono thing is certain we intend ;to have a railroad from Oxford to iClarksvil 3, Morrows crossing or jllenderam, and the place that cts the products of this county iwill find a Pactolus of gold they n ever dreamed of before. t-The uprising in Louisiana 3ias terminated m a formal and peaceable surrender of the affairs .of the State into the hands of the I United States authorities.

We see it announced in the pa pers, that a grand wedding will come ofi'in Washington about the 1st of next month. The bride elect is TMiss Maria Jlwing Sher man. The groom is Thomas W. Fitch, an engineer in the United State's navy. The engagement has been of a year's duration, and 'tis told that "they met by j chance, the usual way." ' Eigthteen hun dred invitations have been issued. They are very beautifully execut ed on the finest tinted note paper, with cards and envelops to match in shade and quality, j There will be eight bridesmaids. The bride's dress, imported from Paris, "is white gros-grain silk with crepe finish, which: gives it the most velvety appearance. This i3 trimmed with white satin and pointed lace, looped with orange flowera and clematis." : " : We regret exceedingly that "circumstances over j which we have no control" prevent our at tending. ; ; " JC3What has become of the Raleigh Christian Advocate f la it dead or alive.

'Enquirer says "Vice-President Wilson ' thinks the; nomination of Grant for a third term would split! the Radi cal party all to pieces. It i3 hard to split a knotty log." Wo agree with you, Mr. Enquirer. It would be hard to split a knotty log un less it chanced to be a rotten one. Kewspaper ScsadaL It is creditable to the Southern papers that so few of them devot ed much of their space tothe great scandal that recently agitated the North, and excited no little inter est inother sections of the country. The leading papers of the country those with- largest circulation and size, have done a great and positive evil, not only in the wide publicity they gave of the nausiat ing filth of the Brooklyn cmbrogl io, but in devoting their columns generally , to scandal: and crime. We do not know a single great paper in the country that is fit to ero into a decent household nolj one. Many of them are ably con ducted and display vast enterprise, spirit and energy, but they, con tain so much that is vicious and corrupting, that cannot ; be read by youth, at least without danger, and are wholly iunsuited to fami ly reading. We believe that eith er one of the'. New1 York dalies constantly read, would be more hurtful to the taste and morals of the young people of our land, than would be all the dime novels and wicked stories that are circulated so abundantly at this time: ' ' This ought not to be the case! The leading papers should be moral and intellectual educators As it is, no father who is careful of the interests of his children can willingly allow these papers to be read at home. ; j j It. is a very : unhealthy sign I this craving of the people for highly-spiced scandal, for blood and thunder stories, and for full records, of all the horrid crimes that are daily perpetrated in our land by scoundrels and villiand. If the people would not read and relish such monstrous stuff, news paper men would not print them. That is so. But it is no excuse for the newspaper men that the should spread moral poisons sim ply because people are badenougji to crave such destructive stimu lants. If they S would do their duty, they would not cater for vicious and depraved appetites, but would attempt a reformatio i and purification by substitutin g healthful and elevating mental pabulum. 1 We repeat, our Southern editors do not offend to the extent the Northern editors do. We do not believe that anything ought to be j put in even a newspaper that has ; in it the slightest moral taint, or ; that is calculated to foster and de velop a vicious. taste, prevert the life or corrupt the morals. Peo ple can not be too particular in what papers they read. We hope those who read our little paper, if not benefited, will not be injurecf. -1- - ' ; I !

Yesterday a man named Jenks, with his wife and little boy about 6ix years old, arrived in this pity on their way to New Jersey, ; having walked all the way from1 North Carolina, a distance of over four hundred miles. They gave a dis mal account of affairs in that State, and say that it is no place - for honest and industrious pool people. They were destitute of money, and had but little clothing. Wash ington Star llth: : : r r" ' ; : i We have often heard of Capt. Jenks, of the "horse marines," but this is4he first definite account we have of that gentleman outside of poetry.

We hope this class of honest and industrious poor people will stay on the other side of the Potomac. 'Any man who comes from the North and settles among us, who" is willing, like the rest of us, to earn his "bread by the sweat of his brow," and. behaves like a gentleman, shall be treated as such.

A moderate activity prevails in the dry goods trade in filling small orders. Prices firm, but are still about 10 per cent lower than last season. In woolen goods there is a. prospect for a good trade. The boot and shoe men appear satisfied with the out look in their line. The hardware trade does promise as well, but is doing fairly. The carpet buisiness, a leading; Philadelphia specialty, is rapidly recovering, prices being firm and the demand good. Not much is doing yet in groceries.
