railroad is in the field as a competitor
for eastern business, delivering its

The DURHAM FERTILIZER COMPANY.
We take pleasure in calling at
tention to the advertisement of the
above Company in this issue. All
things being equal, we are inclined
to give the preference to the pro
ducts Of our own State; for it is the
encouragement of home enterprise
that breaks the bonds of depend
ence, and lifts us from The lowly
condition of the humble consumer
to the more ambitious one cf pro-
ducer, the equal of the proudest
and the competitor of the most ac-
tive. 1t was eminently fit that such
an enterprise as a Fertilizer factory
should be established in Durham, a
place where everything stimulates
to emulation and in this particular
feature there was peculiar proprie-
5ty of location, where demand might
be illimitable, and where results
might be so conspicuous; for Dur
ham is not only the centre Of sale
and manufacture, but also Of pro-
duction.
Very many certificates from Dur
ham county, from Davie, Davidson,
Granville, Iredell, Johnston, Person,
Rockingham, Wake, Warren and
Wayne, and from every county in
Virginia, prove the superior quality
and eficienc{ OF the fertilizer; and
we hope the planters of Western
North Carolina will give i. a trial
this coming season.

HENDERSONFILLE, rep. 10, 90.
Editors Citizen .--Our beautiful city is
still suffering somewhat with the ta1l-end
of our late unpleasant weather
But Overhead resembles muchly that
season that the poet describes to gentle
Annie" and our belief, founded upon the
sign of the ehorns of the moon" is that
winter will not recline long in the lap of
Spring this year but betake himself to
those frigid zones from which he visits
us annually.
Our streets are thronged now with the
bone and sinew of the land, who are here
attending Court; some having suits and
others drawn by curiosity and wish to
ar their .'cuss words and to saturate
theii tripes with "bust-head" whiskey,
all of winch causes steady flow Of
espondulixD into our city treasury, and
will enable us at an carly day to have
our electric lights and make other need
ed improvements upon our beautiful
promenades.
Business in court is progressing finely
and the Judge and Solicitor are Winning
golden oTiinions from those harinN bust
ness in court.
Our rail road is being rapidly complet-;
ed, and when finished will be one.of the
smoothest pieces of road in the State.
Those in charge of this work would have
had it completed long since but for the
unavoidable hindrances of the elements.
But it will now be but short time until
the locomotive will transport us to your
city in few minutes, whereas now it re-
quires days hard work.

Anderson, will, this week, have the chasm
bridged between here and Spartanburg,
ani it will be done in manner that
there may be no dread of a future wash
out. When the road goes through, we
presume that our popular Conductor,
Capt. Mcclure, will locate il your city.
The citizens of Hendersonville will be
10th to give up the Captain and his es
timable lady, and the good wishes of the
entire community will go with them to
their new home.
DIR. Egerton will build himself resi-
dence near the depot this Spring. and We
learn new building will be erected on
Main street, near the center Of the city
for the Post Office. There is a building
and painting boom here that will bring
forth good frnit at an early day.
But few of the Asheville bar are here.
We presume goodly number VIII be
over this week, when they will take up
the civil docket
The hotels are all doing good business
and the proprietors are looking gay and
happy.
Capt. Young was over again last week
and spent two or three days at the Vir-
ginia House.
Mud Creek is certainly to be drained,
we learn. and then things viii bloom like
a rose. What a garden spot,we will then
have all around us!
We had the pleasure, yesterday, in
with Mr.. Hammond of Balti-

young and popular preacher in charge of
the Methodist Church at this place.

gave an entertainment on Monday
evening in furtherance of stlleir OBJ
ject, using the fine large rooms of
the Woydfn building. The attend
ance was very large and not contin-

ticular interests were concerned,
but, with that generous and catholic
spirit characteristic of the churches
of Asheyille, all denominations
pressed forward to the good work.
The company was in fine spirit of
enjoyment, not only of the ample
supply of choice refreshments, but
of the genial mood and social ease OF
the participants on the occasion.
We are glad to hear that success
equal TO the most sanguine expect
ations attended the enterprise.

This gentleman, who was so seri-
.ously hurt some time ago by the
kick of a mule on his leg, noticed in
the CITIZEN at the time, has been at
the Carolina House for several days
for closer medical attention. Some
fears were entertained at one time
that his leg would have to be am-
putated, but happily he is relieved
of anxiety on this point. lie can
now get about on crutches.s His
many friends wish him a speedy re-
covery.
