Help the Boys.

The Asheville Light Infantry is
composed ofyoung men of the city,
the very flower of the community.
They have entered this organization
not altogether for sport or recrea-
ton, for in being received into the
the State organization, under the
law. they have to assume strong OBJ
legations to the public That they
will perform well and promptly all
duties which may devolve upon
them az soldiers 10 one can doubt.
They should be encouraged and
sustaine by the community.
A former company proved its use
tulness on several occasions, and, in
fact, the presence in Asheville of
such organic ,tion is positive pub
lie benefit and protection. The
present company is composed al
most ehtirely OF young men who are
employees in various pursuits, and
have not the means with which to
meet all expenses of the organiza-
ton, their uniforms, for instance.
These have come, AMI the company
lack about 5000 or little more to-
wards paying for them. Cannot the
citizens of Asheville, whose lives
and property this company would
be called upon to protect should a
disturbance occur, make up this
amount and give it to the
boys? We are authorized
by a citizen to start the fund with
$500. Now who else will give /?
We bespeak the generous considera-
ton of our citizens in behalf of
our soldier boys. We hope and
expect to hear that this prop
osition has met with a ready res
ponse. All sums, in any amount,
left at this office will be gladly ac-
knowledged through the columns Of
the CITIZEN.

Within Our Gates

During the next three months, we
estimate that there will be fifteen thous-
and people. This is estimating. Our
present population at ten Thousand, to
which we add FIVE thousand visitors that
we expect to be here and ct near by
hotels and boarding houses. The ques
tion arises how are we to feed this
multitudeY
That is very easy question I answer,
provided ouhavet the provisions on hand.
But suppose we should be visi ed this
summer With blizzard. such as they
had in New York last winter, could we
pull through?
Well we hardly ever have snow storms
here at this season sure enough 10 stop
the wheels of commerce, but you need
not be surprised to see our prices go
great deal lower than the lowest point
registered by the thermometer during
the blizzard last winter.
Having foreseen the rush of visitors to
Western North Caroline this summer.
We have prepared ourselves accordingly,

A BIG SCARE.
Caused by the Appearance OF. a Huge
Panther Near Arden.

For some weeks.p past the good
people in the neighborhood of
Arden have been more or less
scared up by a rumor that has
been rife there, to the effect that
one or more huge panthers make
their habitat not far from that 10
cality. Friday afternoon two
young men, sons of Mr.. Vim.
Vest, who live not very far from
the French Broad river at Arden,
and about ten miles south of this
city, plainly saw monster pan
ther while passing through a for
est on their way home. Catching
sight of the young men the'terri-
BILE animal fed with startling ra7
pity through the woods and was
soon lost to sight. These gentle
men say there is no doubt that it
was paHthery and It's lengthsxas
about eight feet. A few days
prior to this occurrence it is re-
ported that Mr.. John Buckner,
who lives in the Arden neighbor-
hood, caught a glimpse of some
thing moving about in the under
brush, near the same place where
the animal was seen by the Vest
boys, which he now believes to
have been the veritable animal
that has caused so much terror
and CONSERVATION in his locality.
Its distance from him, and the era
pidity with which it moved away
from him at the time he first saw
it, left him in doubt as to it's iden-
tity. A number of people living
in the same section have of late
seen the same animal, and not a
few who have seen it's tracks,p pro-
nounce it to be panther of unu-
sually large size.
A reporter of the CITIZEN yes
terday saw several gentlemen who
live in and around Arden, and the
statement above made was fully
corroborated by each of them.
The people are fearful of depre-
dations from this ferocious beast,
whose habitat is thought to be in
the wilds of Busbee mountain,
not very far from the spot where
the unwelcome stranger was seen
by the Vests and others of late.
Steps are being taken by the res
idents in the neighborhood to or
ganize a party to hunt and cap
ture this beast-possibly the last
of his tribe in the wilds of West
ern Carolina-who thus intrudes
itself upon the quiet people of
Limestone township.

Want Money!

and want it bad. This may be blunt,
hard, cold, Uncompromising statement,
bu. it i, fearfullY true, and the truth may
as well be admitted, To be still more
frank 1 aUGnt your money, and warn you
l am taking steps to secure it without
moments delay. To be candid about it
I will say that at first l was greatly
puzzled to know how [ could gain pos
session. but a plan has been devised
which will lead you to giue it up cteerfulty
and freely becaus You will greatly bene-
fit yourself by SO doing. The motive
and the plan are stated briefly as follows:
I wish to convert my present stock into
cash within the next 80 days for two
reasons, first, / want to take q large
amount of cash to market, when 1 90 to
pure hase my new fall stock, as / can by
this means be sure of getting the lowest
market prices Second, l must dispose
of large amount of goods to make room
for this new stock. This very reasonable
but pressing motive has made me deem
it wise to pursue plan which. will con.
vert my present stock into cash and do It
at once. Therefore during the next 8
days, every article in my stock of Cloth
ing, Hats. Gents Furnishing Goods,
Trunks and Nalises, will be sold without
regard to profit or marked value, but at
prices certain to force them from my
shelves, at a great sacrifice. it is true, but at
the same time putting me in position to
more than make good the l1ss by increas-
ed facilities for hand ing fall goods 1t
is needless to remind thinking people
that this action on my part will put be
fore the public royal bargains OF unques
toned merit in great variety OF desira-
BILE goods. An opportunity like this is
seldom offered and never missed, will
fill the store with shrewd buyers, who
will find that any reasonable offer takes
the goods. Will we see YOU among the
number if not, why not?
Yours cordially and eandidlY,

cost of each would be small, and
would absolutely attract people to the

proprietorS to unite for the scommon
good. Really there is not enough ac-
commodations yet in Asheville for
the crowd who would come here if
proper efforts are made and informaA
tion furnished. AS matters stand,
however, it is necessary for those who
wish customers to meet and cooper
