P. S. have forgotten to relate part
of my dream that l nnst let you hear.
dreamed there were about eight or ten
croakers, grumblers and demafognes,
who are always crying Tax, Tax, Tax,
that died in the early part of my dream,
or what transpired afterw ards never
would have taken place. People who
expect to shave city, can never do so
without cost. 1t takes nleney 10 build
water works, have electric lights, street
railways, and frst-ciass newspapers.
Atlanta would have never reached the
glory she enjoys, had it not been for
her paper, the Constitution. Support your
press. Give it real aid, and the predic-
ton of that Prince of learning and pro-
gressiveness DIR. Gatchell will be attain
ed.
dislike to see any OF my friends dis
and do most respectfully sug-
gest to those who are opposed to voting
appropriations that will make Asheyilie
what she will be, if aid be given, to come
to the country; here you eau use pine
knots instead of electric lights, fer the
water works you can use our most excel
lent springs-as to sewerage we have
plenty. 4ou can also substitute coppera5
breeches for your cashmere wool hats for
your beavers, antt the time goa use IN 1
trying to write and vote your city down,
you can be more proataDly employed
ploughlng, thereby making yourself a
producer, instead OF consumer. You |
may ask what l have to do with 1t? In
answer will say have very much to do
with it. Ii any country town is built up,
1 make better market for my produce,
and just at home there; are forty good |
reasons why country farmer as | am
should desire to see AsheVIlle built up, |
but have already trespassed too much |
on your kindness. L Will add that croak-
ers, grumblers, &c., DC, say Danvllle Is
better Tobacco market than AshevilIr; |
read the report of Mr., Holmes the excel |
lent secretary of the Asheville Tobacco |
Association, also the report of the Dam
vile Association, and II there Is any way |
