COMING ALoNG-THE CAROLINA CENTRAL
RAILROAD PUSHING FOR THE West
Will 1T CONE TO AsHEvILLE.
In conversation yesterday with gen
tleman connected with the construction
department of the Carolina Central Rail-
road, we were pleased to learn of the
rapid progress n.adein the push towards
Rutherfordton. In ten days more the
entire grading to Red Tavern, three miles
east of Rutherfordton, will be ready for
the cross ties and iron. Many cross ties
are already in place, and all are being
delivered rapidly. Three large iron
bridges are yet to be completed, across
Sandy Run, Puzzle Greek and Second
Broad. The construction train is now
running to Brush creek. By October is
thought the whole line will be compile
ted, and the trains running regularly.
The question arises, will the Carolina
Central come on to Asheville2 Another
important question, will AsheYille and
Buncombe county do anything to in
duce it to Gomez Our people can well
afford to hold out inducements Will
they do SO? We submit the matter to
them.

of Phillipsburg, New Jersey, have
purchased the drug store, &C., &C..
of Dr.. Q. w. DeVault, assumed
charge Of the same, and solicit a
share of patronage. These gentle-
men bring with them the highest
testimonials both as to personal and
professional character. We welcome
them TO our city, commend them to
the public, and wish them the full-
est measure of success.
In referring to these gentlemen
the FrOstburg Md. } Journal says
THE Journal regrets to chronicle
the reinDVal Of James S. Grant, late
81 with 6. a. NWingert, druggist, Of
this place, to Asheville, N: G. During
his residence of, several years here,
Mr.. Grants exemplary habits and

for him the esteem of the entire
community. Intelligent, courteous
and prompt in business, he had
lately added the most important
of all the pharmacists qualifications,
competent knowledge of the artSby
a thorough course of training in one
of the best colleges in the world. In
connection with John NJ. Roseberry,
of Phillipsburg, N. J.. fellow-grad-
uate, he has purchased a drug store
and stock in Asheville, and the peo-
pie of that city may be sure of en-
terprising and reliable service. So>

uuisition."

The german at the SwaEnanoa
Hotel Friday evening was a brill
liant success, and had it not been for
the inclement weather the attend-
ance would have been much larger.
The old-time hospitality of the
sSwannanoa" never flags, and the
scene Friday evening recalled many
pleasant incidents of the past days
when this public hostelry was tbs
great centre of pleasure, mirth and
merriment in the city. Many of
the old patrons of the '.Swannanoa"
were outtin full force, and it was a
pleasure to meet here the faces of
many of the old frequenters of the
skyland, who are still loud in their
expressions of our mountain region.

DIR. A. J. WrrHERspooN, D.D.

This distin guished divine and
,philanthropistr of New Orleans, will
be in this city next Sunday. He
will preach at the Presbyterian
Church that morning. AS is done
in other places. we presume and
hope there will be Union meeting
of all the congregations to hear the
gentleman in his high and noble
cause.
A Charlotte exchange where DR..
w. has recently 1eetured, says:
"The work of the Doctor is en-
gagged in is a noble one. He is a
native of South Carolina, and some
thirteen years ago he estarted in New
Orleans, a Seaman's Bethel, and be-
gan his work of christian ministry
among the sailors, and those who
ego down to the sea- y Since that
humble beginning the work has
prospered and increased. Now there
is not only a church, but home for
sailors, where they are furnished
board, lodging and innocent amuse-
ments are provided, and christian
training and influences are thrown
around them. In other words it is
a christian home for this class of
people and the good work is going
on with the most abundant success.
While this institution is under the
immediate care of the Presbyterian
church, it's supported by contribu-
tions of all persons regardless of
their influence this Bethel is be-
ing recognized, not only by the au-
thorities of New Orleans who praise
it in the highest terms, but by for
eign authorities, also, who acknowl-
edge the good effects it has upon the
sailors who come into our. port at
that point.
All who can make it convenient to
do SO should not fail to hear the
Doctor

CLOSING OF THE COFFEE HOUSE


CLOSING OF THE COFFEE HOUSE.
The Coffee House has almost complet-
ed the first year of its existence and in
view of closing it temporarily, the
founders wish to call attention to few
thoughts in connection with said estab-
lishment. We would have no one think
for moment either through discourage
ment the coffee house has been closed,
or that after calm consideration the pro-
ject was looked upon as useless expert
ment. Duties are ours-results are
Gods. This being the principle on
which our work was undertaken, we
trustfully await the result. On looking
around us at our present achievements in
the cause of temperance, we feel gratifed
looking backward, we feel that we have
been able to do something in the great
warfare; and we attribute much of our
advancement to the establishment and
success of our coffee house.
It cannot be said that the coffee house
has gone down and left no sign for it has
created and developed certain faculties.
that seek for expression elsewhere, and
Thus must now give place to broader
fields of work. sss-eess
Besides being the means of circulating
much temperance sentiments through
the country and impressing the strength
of our hold on the citizens of Asheville,
and perhaps preventing some from
launching in temptations way our coffee
house treasury greatly assisted US in
carrying forward the Spring campaign.
In view of there being a superabun-
dance of lunch rooms now entirely aloof
from bar room attachment, owing to the
needs of this season being less than dur
ing the winter, and last but most forci
BILE, the demand for establishment of one
or two different branches of work in
connection with our reform, we have
duly considered the matter and de-
cided that the concentration of talent
and time expended in running the Cof-
fee House, is now demanded elsewhere,
hence we discontinue the present estab-
lishment, intending to reopen later.
with more pleasing surroundings in con-
nection with our future w. c. T. u.
Headquarters, parlors, etc.
Yes we are sin for life" and me esti-
mate that within another year, by the
slow but sure methods now beginning
our entire population will be so trans
formed; and the grand reformation stand
on SO firm a basis of intelligent senti-
ment that every doer of iniquity for sale
ofintoxicating liquors will be closed-at
which time. we will give all due credit to
the assistance rendered by our Coffee
House.

Returns are coming in very slowly from

known to insure complete victory for
the Democratic ticket by an overwhelm-
ing majority. Heavy Democratic gains
are reported everywhere and the maj
ority for the ticket will exceed thirty
thousand. Only meagre returns are in
from East Tennessee and unless the Re-
publicans have made heavy gains there
the Democratic majority may reach forty
thousand.
