trains, informs US that the majority
for R. L. Taylor as Governor of
Tennessee is exactly 10000.
To-day Rev. T. M. Myers, leaves

Clerk of Graham county, is in the

with us like home folks.
Mr.. J. L. Brown, late of Hay
wood, is now with Messrs. Ballard

charge of the stove and furnace
work of that house. He has had
fifteen years experience in this line,
and knows what he is doing. Ali
work guaranteed.
The republican authorities in
Raleigh concede the State demos
cratic ticket elected by several thou
sand; the State Senate to be demo-
cratic by a good majority; the House
to contain 81 democrats, 56 republi-
cans and 7 independents. We know
a majority OF the independents are
true democrats; some of the inde>
pendents, we also know, will be
governed by the majority, and will
go accordingly.
The Zera Semon company gave a
matinee yesterday evening to very
large crowd Of ladies and children,
and1 the PLEASURE of the children
over the Sformancc, specially the
distributioM of the presents, was
worth far more than the cost of the
tickets of admission. The perform
ances were most interesting, the
distribution of presents generous,
and the delight of the crowd very
general. If Semon ever comes back,
he may be sure of a very warm re-
oeption in Asheville.
Nr. Hinton A. Helper has just
returned from a prolonged visit to
Virginia, devoting himself princi>
pally to study of Lynchburg. He
has illustrated that busy city with
his usual fullness, accuracy and

copies devoted to that topic. He
will turn. his attention next TO Dan

not forgotten Western. North Coroli~
ma which stands first in his affec-
tions.
Hon. Robt. L. Taylor the govern
proeleet OF Tennessee. reached the

with his wife. Asheville and North
Carolinians have double interest
in this distinguished "child of des
I4iny'-as gevernor-elect of the
daughter of our State, and, as hus
band of one of our own most charm
ling daughters. Gov. Tayler has
been quite indisposed since his late

will be most pleased to tender. III,
and his certainly have the warn

IL " 1A AeooD DEh1
Au,st outrageous act of robbery
was committed upon Mr.. James
Atkin, of Knoxville, at the depot at
this place on Saturday evening last.
Mr.. A. had just returned from
points Sorth after selling some
horses, with the proceeds on his
person. He had stopped over here
on business. On Saturday evening
he had gone to the depot to take the
train which passes here about 8
o'clock. Wearied with waiting, he
walked little way up the track,
and while standing near n box car,
he was approached by two men, the
foremost of whom affected to be
drunk, and who laid his hands fa-
miliarly on the shoulders of Mr.. At
kin. This gentleman pushed him of
when both assaulted him, knocked
him down, cut his vest and coat,
and while Mr.. A. was insensible
from a blow on his head, the rob-
bers secured his pncket book which
contained $3.50 and made off. Tney
were white. but there is no-clue to
their identity. The matter was
placed in the hands of TIE police
here, but as yet no suspieiencan be
fixed on any one.
ItWas a daring deed without prec-
edent here
Mr.. Atkin was q long time in the
CITIZEN Office, subsequently estab-
lished a newspaper in Knoxville,
and is now engaged in the livery
business in that place.

DISCUSSION OPENED BY MISS PUGH,
OF OHIO.

DISCUSSION OPENED BY MISS PUGH,
Miss Pugb, in opening the dis
cussion, said she would endeavor to
stir up some idea Of Model I'm

not to be; and she would say at the
start, let us have as few dead
Unions as possible. 1t is hard to
start a live w. C. T. U. in W. G. T.

We don't want monthly meet

We don't want Union whose

DISCUSSION ON LITERA
TURE.
announced,

LED BY MRS. J. NJ. PORTER, OF NEW
CUMBERLAND, W. VA.
Mrs. Porter being absent because
of illness, Mrs. Buell. was asked by
Conference to open the discussion,
which she did, beginning with pay
ing glowing tribute to the News
paper Press as the best and most
efficient medium for circulating
literature. The next best means
are essays, tracts, DC.
1t is very important to find the
best methods of circulating .itera-
ture.
Avoid personalities. Don't select
tracts intended to have a personal
bearing on the faults of particular
individuals.
Look about and see what is the
particular bane of a community and
seek and circulate an amtidote tor
that bane. If cider drunkenness is
the trouble, scatter Miss Colman's
cider leaflets. II beer drinking iB
the curse, get beer leaflets, and SO
on.
Miss Jennie Smith, spoke of the
Importance of knowing what was in
tracts before they were sent out, and
of marking particular paragraphs.
She always read tracts before dis
tributing, and many that came to
her hands she burned, instead of dis
tributing them, because they were
not only worthless but bad.
Mrs. johnson added testimony
to the value of tracts, giving an in
stance showing how great good
had been done by one little tract
called "Hints and Helps in Week
Day Life" 1t came to her from
jennie Smith, and being so helped
by it, she mailed it to a
friend in Cincinnati, who sent it
back with thanks for the help it
gave her. 1t was sent out again
and again, coming back with like
testimony. and it was now out on
another mission.
Many other interesting sugass-
lions and testimonies followed.

CON sTIUTIoNAL AMENDMENT URGED.

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT URGED.
Mrs. Buell. suggested and urged
that every State Union ought to
have the following clause in its
Constitution.
* x "Any woman in a locality
where there is no local union, may
become a member of the State I'm
ion by signing the constitution and
paying the fee which would emit
tie her to membership in local
union, and promising to use her in
fuence to organize a local union
in her town or locality"
Mrs. Trippett, of Warrington, 81
think that very important.
With that provision I could and
would have been in the work long
before 1 had opportunity to be-
come a member of Local Union"
Mrs. Buell. said the plan had
worked admirably in Connecticut.
Many Unions had been built up
by scattered members taken into
the State Union under this clause.
INoTE.-This discussion was full
of interest and carried on largely in
the form of questions by members
and answers by Mrs. Buell. and
Miss Pugh, of which only very
brief notes are above given.-ED.
