Our thanks are due to our friend Boul-
din, OF the DanviIle Times, for the kindly
interest he Ihanifests in the CITIZEN, and
winch is SO pleasantly expressed. Bouldin
is so sincere that his opinion is valuable.
Our streets look deserted to-day, COM
pared with yesterday. The West excurs-
ion from the East kept things quiet
lively the past day or two.
The venerable Mr.. Geo. r. French of
Wilmington has been spending some
weeks in the mountains with his daugh-
ter, Mrs. III. c. Toms, at Hendersonville.
The nine hundred people who came
up on the excursion, and spent the past
forty eight hours in Asheville, was the
most orderly crowd we have ever seen.
1t was a great pleasure to Asheville to
have them, for more reasons than one.
Our friend Dr. NJ. w. Gudger, of Rip
ley, Tenn, carried with him to his Ten
nessee home some of the characte ristics
of the place of his birth. He raises big
apples, and recently sent the editor of
the Ripley NearS one measuring twelve
inches in circumference.
The Wachovia Band of Winston
Salem, which accompanied the excurs-
ion, made some excellent music from the
balcony of the Grand Central yesterday
evening, greatly to the enjoyment of
many citizens as well as visitors. 1t is a
very fine band, composed of excellent
young men.
Our friends c. A. Boone, of Orlando,
Fla, with his family, arrived from the
South Wednesday, and stopped over q
few days in the city. They are on route
to Waynesviile, to visit relatives and
friends, being brother of Mr.. J. K.
Boone, the excellent clerk of Haywood
county. We are always pleased to see
our friend. He is now one of the most
prominent merchants of the growing city
ofOrlando.
The usual Sunday services, under the
auspices of the Young Mems Christian
Association. will be held to. morrow
afternoon at 6 O'Clock, on Battery Porter.
We are glad to note the interest taken
in these services. The circumstances
under which they are held give them
peculiar mpressiveness. With the grand
panorama spread around, the feelings are
disposed to devotion, and the heart is
ready to respond to the emotions which
rise IN view of the beautiful works of the
Creator. PRAYER seems to go up more
direct to the Throne of Mercy, and songs
of praise have power that they seem to
acquire because they echo back from the
oyerspread canopy of Heaven.
