at
st Mrs. R. r. PoRTRR's,
There were thirty arrivals at the Wes.
tern Hotel on Tuesday evening.
Mr.. R H. Edmonds, representing that
invaluable journal, the Manufacturer
Record, paper that is doing so much to
a lvanee Southern progress, favored us
with a visit yesterday.
Mr.. J. A Tnorne, U. s. Commissioner
from Mills Springs, Polk county, is here
in attendance upon the Federal Court
and has been frequent and very vel.
come visitor to our uffice.
Confusion around us while writing up
our little locals caused us to write down
our valued friend Col David Settle clerk
instead of Marshall. No harm done, we
hope, for they arc all honorable men,
Mr.. ]. c. S. Timberlake has returned
from Florida and went yesterday morn
ing to Waynesville to look after the
affairs of the White Sulphur Springs
hotel, of which he will take charge as
soon as it is ready.
Our friends from the fourishing county
of Swain, Mr.. E. Everett and Mr.. s. B.
Gibson, enlightened our sanctum yester-
day morning. They give cheering
accounts of the progress of that county
so abounding in all the elements of pros
perity.
Mr.. e I. Holmes, Treasurer of the
Western North carolina Fair Associa-
-tlon, is now ready to pay off all claims
against the associations; and requests all
those having such claims to present
them. or forward them with post office
address.
The Rev. 7. A. Morris, who spent the
past winter in Iowa, and other points in
the Northwest, has returned. We
presume he will again take charge of the
Arden Park hotel, which will derive
additional attraction by the completion
of the rail road. The depot is less than
a mile from the hotel.
Mr.. G. B. Saunders has shown us some
old bills of revolutionary days-a SIS note
Of the State of North Carolina issued in
177S, and $50 note of the United Col
onies of I776 They have their value as
curiosities, and are worth a, great deal
more now than when circulated with the
promise to pay which was never redeemed
MIR. ]. NJ. Moody, of Waynesville, is in
the city in attendance on the Federal
Court. He is one of the newly elected
Board of Aldermen of his town. He in
forms us that only Is votes were cast
aga nst the vote to create bonded debt
for the improvements of Waynesville.
Let the citizens of Asheyille go and do
likewise.
A visit to the Court House introduced
US to the familiar faces of many old
friends we had not hitherto met on the
streets or in our Office. Among them
were Maj. A. M. Erwin, Gen. Bowman,
Mr.. Ellis Cooke, Mr.. Walter Morse, Mr..
G. III. Smathers, Mr.. George F. Bason
Capt. w. Moore and others equally
prominent.
Judge Dick in his charge to the
Grand Jury, paid a tribute to the
Asheville press for its advocacy oi
home interests. Hesaid our papers
had 1hade Asheville the best adver-
tised town in the State; that, and the
revenue law, two subjects on every
tongue, vie with each other for fame
or notoriety.
Mr.. J. W. Burton, u. S. Commits
sioner, from Yancey visited our Office
yesterday. Speaking Of his county
he says that theI,area in tobacco this
year will be reduced by existing low
prices. Wheat he says, is looking
well. The apple crop is abundant
and promising, and Yancey is ia.
nous for its fine apples. Peaches
are not much cultivated, and are
never very fine.
