Spo1LT FRUIT AND VEGETABLES.

SPoILT FRUIT AND VEGETABLES.
Our attention has been called to
the fact that many fruits and vege-
tables in a more or less decayed
state, are sold to people in this mar
ket. They are kept good and bad
together, and, as the bad prepon-
derates, are sold cheap-for any
thing any one will pay. OF course
only a certain class buy such, but,
it is often with this class, and from
such causes, that serious sicknesses
begin, sometimes extending to a
community. with very serious res
suits, one way or another. !, Stale
fruits and vegetables should not be
permitted to be sold, and it is the
duty of the authorities to see that
they are not. A leading physician
said to us yesterday that the heavy
and continuous Spring rains, had
forced development in vegetables,
thereby impairing their healthful
qualities at best, and increasing
their dangerous qualities as they
become stale. He thinks it well for
people to be careful in eating vege-
tables, even when they know they
have tie best and freshest; Others
should not be eaten at all, or per-
mitted to be sold. We invite atten-
tion of our authorities to this.

We recognize the tasteful eye and
truthful hand of Roger Davis in the
sketches which illustrate the above
work. The sketches alone we have
seen; and while they depict special
scenes made familiar by Photography,
those of Mr.. Davis have the freshness
of novelty due to the artistic.
talent of one who does his own work
and does not trust to the chances of
the camera. The first illustration,
though on a small scale, does fGll
justice to the scenery around Round
Knob. The airy fountain, projected
to its full height, floats away in the
picture, as it does in reality, in inns

made to tumble back. as usually

the fountain. So with Mt. Mitchell,
which is presented with a distinct
grandeur the mind can grasp, with
height and distance and @rial pers

There are a number of sketches
from animated nature that are life
like, such as the one armed mails
carrier bearing his mail-bag on foot
across the mountains; the log cabin
in the depths of the forest with the
inevitable cluster of children play
ing around it; the cart drawn blythe
somewhat attenuated OK, bearing
the driver with his wife or sweet
heart to the city. These are some
of the suggestive pictures which will
go to adorn what is expected to be.

were there so many brought to mar
ket. They have been coming in
for month, and the supply seems
to increase. The hucksters have
them, and girls and boys hawk them

abundance, the cattle having been

The Sewer has been completed,
and works perfectly. All the resi-
dences, and business houses, spe-
cially the hotels, contiguous to this
sewer, should be required to becon-
nected with it at once. It should
not be matter of inclination with
a person or property holder; the
city has gone to heavy expense to
construct this sewer in obedience to
a demand OF the public, and it
should be required to be used. The
sooner the city is we'll and thorough
ly severed the better for the city and
Its many interests.
We were called upon by an indig-
nant resident whose way home leads

tern Hotel, to "view the ground on

face of the ground almost paved with
the heads of. chickens and ducks
which had parted company with
their bodies. Under aa August sun
they are soon in condition to send
up unsayory odors, poisoning the
air, polluting the water, and plant
ing the germs of disease. We call
the attention of the Health Officer
to the fact. Health is not to be til
fled with; and general diffusion of
such causes may lead to serious re-
suits. "a ~

AN INTERESTING LECTURE BY Dr.

TINGUIsHED lady MISSIONARY.
The Methodist church in AsheviIle is
to be highly favored on Sunday, August
9Th, by the presence and addresses Of
Miss Dora Rankin, the younger of the
two sisters, who were the first mission
aries of the Woman's Board. The super
intendent of the Missions of the M. g.
church, South, in China, speaks in the
following terms of the work of these
ladies':
"The work at Nantziang is doing ex-
ceedingly well. Tt opened this year with
a fresh impulse, and promises to 60 on
developing The Misses Rankin have
laid broad and deep foundations there,
and have literally won the admiration
and gratitude of the town and surround

and unfinching devotion to duty, and
the cheerful and patient way in which
they have dealt with The people. I delight
to testify of their work. There is only
one drawback there now-their work has
outgroWn them, and help is needed.
Miss Rankin has her hands full in Pleas
ant College, and Miss Dora's schools tax
her while she is still constrained to do
more. Miss Dora is now with you, and

she is one of the ablest, most devoted

that ever crossed the sea for China. She
is worthy, and know you will all delight
to hear her and do her honor. The most
any of us can wish for her is that you
will send her back this fall promptly but
not without able suppogt both in the
matter of increased confidence and able
assistance"
Miss Haygood, the superintendent of
Woman's Work, of the same church, in
China, speaks Of Miss Rankin's, and her
sisters work, in terms of the highest
appreciation, and commends her most
earnestly to the good people of this coun-
try-her native land. Miss Rankin will
