We have often heard it said there was
reason for everything. We now find
the reason for the introduction of the
late fashion in bustles, and their extra
ordinary increase in size. A few days
ago a lady" was discovered entering the
harbor of New York with a prodigious
hustle filed with very fine laces; and now
we hear of another use in a more
spirited manner. A telegram from jack
sonville, Fla, December 18, says: "Uni-
ted States Revenue 0ficer Gibbs arrived
in this city last evening from Tampa,
Fla, having in his possession crescent
shaped tin can holding one gallon and
filed with Jamaica rum, which was
found upon the person of woman. The
can was worn as hustle. The woman
passing from state room on a Jamaica
steamship lying at Tampa dock to no.
tel several times aroused suspicion that
she was smuggler, and it was found that
many gallons of rum were thus trans
ferred from her room to the hotel at q
saving of 81 per trip in the way of duty

HERRING AND WEAVER.
There appears in the CITIZEN double
column advertisement of this house, now
launched out into an enlarged business.
The extent of the advertisement by no
means exhausts the subject nor exagger-
ates its merits. In truth we can say that
no. such stock of goods of similar kind
has ever been exhibited in Western
North Carolina. With ceInnlendable
Difference to the fair sex, there has been
wonderful care taken and fine taste dis
played to serve them. The styles of their
footinqs are elegant and quality superior.
Philadelphia puts its best foot foremost,
and Paris does not lag behind. Gentle
men, be they dudishly inclined, or have
learned by hard experience the miseries
of corns and bunions, can each find COM
fort or consolation. The children are
provided for in sensible style and may
stump their toes and defy the cobble
stone side walks with impunity. We
must direct our friends to go and see for
themselves, for we cannot tell them hal!
the story. Besides boots aud shoes they
will find a complete stock of trunks

TO act the despot In q Government

JUST ABOUT the time that We were
ourselves on mild, ethe-
tiAl spring having come TO assert her
sway, We are met With the severest
weather OF winter. Toe mercury may
not be 20 low as at other times during
the winter, hu, the high, piercing
Winds really make the cold more sen
sibly felt. This cold snap is decidedly
harder on cereal crops than wheu COW
cred with q good coating OF snow.
When the snow disappeared, grain,
grass, vines and ross bushes looked
vigorous aud green, bot nov exposed,
| 10 = manner TAXED 70 the searching
blast they turn 70 3 blush purple cast.
The great snow storms which have
ceen cAvordng around all over the
South, seem now 10 be spending theii
fury down In Maine where snow drift
are reported from twenty-five TO thirty
feet in depth. When will the lamb
like days greet rs again!
