EARLY CLOSING.
Clerks in Shoe Stores Want Easier
Hours.


The clerks employed in the retail shoe
stores have inaugurated an early closing
movement, and meet tonight at Ches-
nut hall to organize. The clerks are
now required to work as late as 9
o'clock, and think the hour for closing
should be $50 o'clock. If all dealers
close uniformly at the same hour no one
will have an advantage, and as people
will probably wear as many boots and
shoes no loss of trade will be sustained,
while the clerks will be given the adj
vantage to health and happiness af
fOrded by easier hours. The following
prominent shoe dealers have already
consented to grant the request of the
clerks: j. w. Field, c. A. Heffelfnger,,

Bound to BE u General.

General Custer always said, even while
he was lieutenant that he would become
general before his death. His messmates
guyed him mercilessly for his "conceit,"
but he stuck to it nevertheless. One even.
ing, eleven days after the battle of Aldie,
in which Custer had greatly distinguished
himself, he returned to headquarters after
a long ride, and upon entering his large
tent in which the staff officers were wont
to gather, he was greeted with Hello,
general, How are you, general?"
Gentlemen, General Custer" etc., etc.
Clusters face grew scarlet, but he conquer
ed his temper and made his usual reply.
This was not enough, however. 1t seemed
as 1t bis tormentors were determined to
irritate him into an explosion, and they
nearly succeeded. for his eyes began to
flash and he looked round as if seeking
some one on whom to fix a quarrel. His
old friend Yates came to his relief.
Look on the table, old fellow. They re
not chatting"
He pointed to the table as he spoke, and
there lay large official envelope, on which
was written:
BRIGADIER. GENERAL GEORGE A. CUSTER,
u. s. Vols.
The reaction was instantaneous, and the
young fellow was completely overcome. A
moment later and all his old comrades
were gathered round him in real earnest,
congratulating and shaking hands, while
Custer, too much overpowered to speak,
could not smile family, turned very pale
and then wink turiously to keep back the
gathering tears.-Philadelphia Times.

do not make the best goods, but the
old fashioned affair COOKIES out the
delicate and subtle flavor of the

Grass Culture in Buncombe.

One of the hobbies of the CITIZEN
has been to encourage the cultiva-
ton of grass and clover in Bum
combe.
Our friend Capt. A. NJ 'Alexan-
der, OF Alexanders, gave us pleas
ant call yesterday, and also gave US
some pleasing information upon the
rapid increase of grass and cls'ver
culture in his section. He has two
hundred and fifty acres in. grasses,
which he says is the finest he ever
saw, much of it On the highest hills
surrounding his place. He has Just
had cut from these hills over two
tons to the acre. His neighbor Maj.
F. R. Curtis has over one hundred
and fifty acres in grass, allsplendid,
and careful report by more than
one hundred members of the Alex
anders Farmers Club, shows that
over sixty per cent of all the cleared
land in cultivation owned by them
is in grass and clover. Capt. A.
says he believes there is more grass
raised within five miles of Alexan-
ders than in any similar area in
Buncombe or Western North Caro-
lima. OF couse this increase of grass
culture means increase and improve
ment of stock. The CITIZEN is graft
fed to get such reports, and we be-
lieve if similarly careful report
could be made for every section OF
Buncombe our oN n people would be
surprised at the great increase in
acreage in the county. It is certain
that the sales of grass seeds in the
county has increased enormously
the past year or two. It is the most
gratifying indication of our section

fell a victim TO consumption. He
first came to this city from Philips

went into the drug business with DR..
j. S. Grant under the firm name of
Grant & Roseberry. Laterio on DR..
Roseberry withdrew from the firm,
and returned to his former home,
where he remained until about three
weeks ago when he returned to Ashe-
vile, seeking relief from his most
terrible malady. DR.. Roseberry was
about twenty-seven years Of age, and
unmarried. His remains were taken
to Philipsburg yesterday where they
will be inferred in, the family cemetery.
DR.. Roseberry made many strong
friends, who are deeply touched at
his untimely demise.

FoGG,s FERRY.
A splendfd Performance at Opera
Hall Last Night.

Notwithstanding that the mass
meeting, the .CIeveland Ride" and
the elements combined to prevent
the attendance of many persons at
opera hall last night, fair audience
witnessed a most excellent perform
ance of the bright, sparkling drama,
stFogg's Ferry" by the London
Theatre Co. From the rising of the
curtain TO the final going down
thereof, the assembly was delighted
with the Performance and the per-
formers. Miss Marion Fidler. as
"Chip, scored brilliant success in
her acting and songs. She is one of
the best soubrette actreesesand most
accomplished vocalists that has ever
appeages' Ntopera hall. She is sim
ply i1f and her fmpersonatipn
of Chip" IS without an equal. She
is pretty, piquant, petite. Her voice
is excellent, and her manners
charming.
Mr. w. F. Kempahall, as "Daddy
Fogg," was very fine. and the clever
comedian won great applause.
Kempshall bids fair to reach the
top round in the ladder of comedy
fame, and no character suits him
better than that he assumed last
night. Miss Lulu Delmo as Blanche
Norwood" and Mr.. Van C. Barrett.
as Bruce Rawdon," were unexcep-
tionally strong leading characters,
and gave general satisfaction.
The entire support of the London
Theatre Company is of superior tai
ent, as was fully demonstrated last
evening. The scenery is new and
well-painted, and the entire COM
binalion is splendid. The opening
night was not so good as it should
have been, but we hope and expect
to see large crowd at opera hall
tonight, to witness the presentation
of "Josh Whitcomb," one of the
most laughable comedies ever pre-
sented by this excellent company.
Tickets are 35 and 80 cents, and are
now on sale at H. L. Lang's iewelry
store, on north Main street.
