JACKSON COUNTY CoURT HOUSE.
We were shown by Mr.. J. II. Isbell
the plans of the new court house build
ing which the commissioners of Jackson
county have resolved to build. We give
them credit for their public spirit and
liberality, though to tell the truth. the
necessity was upon them and they had
to build or stand looking ruefully on the
old structure no court was brave enough
to occupy. But they have moved, and
in the right direction. The plan which
was designed by Mr.. Isbell, and which
we presume will be adopted, is well adap-
ted to public uses. The building is to be
of brick, two stories high, with tower
at the end rising to effective architectural
elevation. The lower story is to- be
divided UP into the county Offices. A
wide passage way extends from end to
end, and another crosse. the middle,
transversely, giving four entrance ways.
A broad double stair way aseends from
the tower basement to the vestibule of
the court room on the second floor. This
court room 50x40 has pitch of 18 feet;
about half is allotted to spectators, seats
being provided for them; the remainder
Is appropriated to the ban, the Judge and
jury, the whole being arranged with re-
gard to convenience and comfort. In the
rear are the jury rooms, large and acces
sible both from the court room and from
below.
The exterior is strikingly handsome,
and the whole plan combines all the
ideals of a useful and convenient public
building. Mr.. Wagner, the architect,
whose experience makes him authority
in such matters. expresses the opinion
that the court house at Webster, con-
structed on the plans presented, will be
one of the best buildings for its uses in
this State.

'AsHEv1LLE TO THE FRONT"


Is the way the Salisbury Watch-
man heads the following article.
The Watchman proves that it, at
least, looks with no unfriendly eye
upon the progress Of a North Caro-
lima town albeit a transmontane.one;
but can speak of it in liberal and
proud spirit as a representative of a
State which extends from the ocean
to the extreme limit of Mountain
territory:
Asheville is to have a street rail,
way. A company has been organs
lied and work is to be begun at
once. Goodl Asheville needs a
street railway, and the Asheville
peopletwill have what they need.
They deserve to prosper, and ifsuc-
cess is not theirs, the sweet consola-
ton of having done their full duty
will take the place of the bilious
eyed. saffron-tinted 'sit-might-haYe-
been" look worn by the people in
some other places. Estate papers
need not all speak at once.) But
with her elegant new hotels, her
macadamised streets, her water
works and her street railwaYs,to say
nothing of the elevation, climate and
scenery, Asheville is bound to grow.
Her additional railway facilities are
the outgrowth of the spirit of her
citizens, and not the result of pure
"nigger" luck. s
Asheville also gets government
appropriation of $50, 600 for pubs
lie. building postofice and court
house.

The SKYLAND HERALD,


The new Republican..oaper, made
its appearance Yesterday. 1t is very
neatly printed and makes very
creditable appearance. The editor,
in chief is Mr.. A. III. Jones, once a
member of Congress from this dis
trict. A long salutatory enunciates
the usual Republican doctrines and
is very fair presentation of them.
The editor announces his purpose
to avoid personal epithets, abuse
and misrepresentation, and places
himself in the attitude of a fair and
manly opponent; and as such we
wish him all success in the field he
has chosen.

OF MRs. PARTTNeToN.

One of those nice young men who part
their hair in the middle asked Mrs. Par
tington the other day how old she was,
she replied: aEighty-three." He heaved
a sigh and said, Before am that old ]
shall be food for worms" "La me" ex-
claimed the old lady, .are you troubled
with 'em? You should use Mrs. Win
slows Vermifuge; and some of Hart's
Antibillious Pills would be good for you.
You ought to get ahead of them worms

the object of every sensible teacher in

ton as viewed by the North Carolina
teachers, now assembled at Black Noun.
tain, is to give onr children resources
that will endure as long as life endnres,
and to, place them on their own means
in practical way, which implies the art
of making active aRd useful what they
learn.
To this end, and with these practical
steps, has this Intellectual body OF
teachers assembled with the purpose of
discussing such p1eaenres which will
tend to promulgate these views and in
still them upon the minds ~ every COM
scfentious teacher who iabefs for the
great cause Of education. Every teach
er assmbied this season seems to be
deeply impressed with thepregress which
has been made during the year, and are
ever ready at ehe same time, to grant
that there yet remains much to be done
in the great vineyard of education, May
it not be said for these teachers and Just.

Look back on their work well accomplished,
With lovei in their beautiful eyes.
They were Memory, Mercy and Power,
With Charity, greatest of all,
And they felt that as guides of children.
They never must falter or fall.
t SUMMARY OF WORK.
For the past two days the Convention
has done but little except to organize,
and they have done this in the most
thorough manner and in good season.
The exercises on yesterday and the day
before, as already stated in the CITIZEN,
were more than satisfactory and pleas
ing. The programmes to follow will be
highly interesting and instructiI e, and
promises much in an intellectual way.
There is so much to be said and done by
a number of our prominent teachers in
the State, that it would take up too much
room in this article to enumerate them
here. The best possible thing to do is
to come down and enjoy the treat to
your hearts content. 1t is only short
ride, over one of the best railroads in the
country, and then, too, the scenery is 80
lovely and picturesque. Par parenthesis-

which he has placed every convenience

sal and pleasure.
To-DAY's PROCEEDINGS:

A bill has been introduced in the house
Of representatives to restrain the running
at large of bulls, and Nick O'Brien says
that he will move an amendment to the
bill so as to include bicycles.
Col. Downey's bill in reference to regu-
lating the affairs of corporations, whereby
they should be made to pay for the death
or injury to its employees, excited consid-
cradle comment when it was introduced in
the house yesterday.
The reading of the opinion of Hon.
Zachariah Armstrong, assistant attorney
general of the United States. on the ques-
ton Of the powers Of the territorial legis-
lature of Arizona, created a great sensa-
ton. as it was seen and understood by all
that it might and probably will affect this
territory.
An Intellectual attempt was made in the
house yesterday to amend the rule pre-
venting smoking in the hall of the house
of representatives when the house is not
in session. A majority of the members
we're in favor of amending the rule, but
as it takes two-thirds to change a rule, the
attempt fell through and the rule remains
unchanged.

A woman by the name of Carrie j.
Campbell, who resides at the west end,
was visited by two men yesterday fore
% who represented themselves to be
officers, and said that a man named Frank
Barnes was in the calaboose, that there
was s. yet due on his fine, and that he
had directed them to come to her for the
money, as she was acquainted with him.
They failed to get the money, however,
and later in the day she received a letter
purporting to come from Barnes making
threats against her providing she did not
send him the money. A search by the
police for these parties failed to find them
or they would have been arrested.
