THE SALE OF THE CITIZEN.

According to advertisement, Mr..
Richmond Pearson sold at public
auction, to-day at IL M, enough Of
the CITIZEN property to pay the
debt due him. It was bid off by
Capt. McLoud, for US, Furman.
Stone & Cameron.
There is more than twice enough
due US to pay every cent we owe.
Knowing the scarcity of money, we
have endeavored to struggle on,
without annoying our patrons but,
itresulted in our being caught by a
creditor, without means to meet
what was due him. He promptly
proceeded to the collection of his
debt, in the manner provided by
law"
When the people discovered the
tendency of our embarrassment, to
the best of their ability they have
responded, and hundreds have ex-
pressed their concern by kindly as
surances. To meet the matter we
have had to borrow some money.
We were not lacking in friends to
aid us in this, and we must acknowl-
edge, and we do SO with pride, our
obligations for their kindness. The
note we gave for the amount was
worth over two hundred thousand
dollars, signed by democrats and re-
publicans, whiskey men and anti
whiskey men, railroad men and
anti-railroadl men, fence men and
no-fence men, church men and
anti-no, we beg pardon, all are
churchmen, we hope-but, gentle
men who declare their..appreciation
of the efforts of the CITIZEN under
its present management for the up
building OF Western Carolina, re-
gardless of politics or other consid-
erations or previous condition of
servitude." They would feel con-
tempt for the managers of the
CITIZEN should their service in this
matter control its conduct, just as
the managers would feel contempt
for such services granted for such a
purpose. The CITIZEN will continue
as it has been, a paper of and for
the people, working as it conscien-
tiously thinks for the good of the
section and the whole people, res
pecting differences of opinion, and
demanding like respect fer itself,
We sincerely thank the friends
and people for their many manifes-
tations and expressions of kindness
and sympathy, and we pledge our
selves anew to every effort of which
we are capable to build up and
help the section and all the people
of Western Carolina.
We shall have more to say, of a
personal nature, connected with
this matter, soon.
FURMAN, STONE & CAMERON.

Mr.. Eugene l.. Harris, artist, is in the
city, and favored us with call this
morning, and also showed us specimens
of his art, sketches of some of the finest
mountain scenes of Western North Car
olina in all the yividness of color which
photographs do not give, and with all
the spirituality which the artist from life
can only impart. Mr.. Harris, and his
brother will be here some days.
Mr.. j. G. Townsend from the beautiful
lola Valley in Macon county is here with
his young wife, as happy couple as the
prettiest phase of human life exhibits.
Mr.. Townsend does not forget business
in his happiness. He is on his way to
Lynchburg to buy machinery for a tob-
-acco factory he is about to erect in
Macon. He is man of energy, and he
knows his business.
Mr.. Scott, the caterer for the Colds.
boro Rifles, went home with his company.
We learn that he bore the journey well,
though subject during the ride to occa-
sional wanderings of bis mind.
We hope anxious inquirers will re-
member that only one accident to passen-
gers has ever happened on the Western
North Carolina roa1.s No other road in
the country has ever been run with such
safety to life or limb. The accident to
the soldiers will probably long stand as
the solitary exception.

TEN N1eHrs IN \ BAR Room.

AYtaur's great model drama will be
given tonight in all its perfection by
the Firmin-Jack Comedy Company. This
style of play it is that goes far to make
the Theatre model school of instruc-
tions and when presented by such artists
as Miss Annie Frimin, John Jack and
their talented comedians in the cast it is
sure to be source of entertainment and
information to the auditor. The realistic
scenes of human life here depicted dis
playing the awful consequences of sinful
Indulgence and the opposite effect of
avoidence in the happiness and comfort
that surrounds abstinence curing lessons
that cannot but prove beneficial to a
community. We predict a crowded house
tonight to witness the splendid acting
of this meritorious production. Under
the Gas Light ON Saturday was given
with great satisfaction. Tomorrow a
purely comedian bill will be presented
and we learn that Camille is in prepara-
ton.

had already been made, prices fixed and

was in no sense admissive to the recep-

plain, that to all ball rooms some safe

THE much abused Jacob Sharp, whose cars
have invaded Broadway, and who has been
denounced as boojum, appears to be a boon
after all. Now that his cars are running, it
becomes evident that they are great i'm
provement over the numbering, stuffy omni-
buses that for years have nearly deafened the
people who thronged that great thoroughfare.
The buses rumbled, the cars glide. The
'busses went out Of their way to run over
women and children, the ears don't The
'bus,drivers ''knocked down" fares, the car
drivers can't. for there are conductors, and
the conductors are obliged to ring bell regis
ter for every fare collected The people, from
being furious, are now rather pleased with the
change; there does not appear to be any great
danger of jam on account of the cars and
everything is lovely. The proper thingS:s do
is TO elect Mr.. Sharp mayor, and say nothing
about the steal of Broadway.
