Paso is thirty five miles North of Lit E
Rock in White county and is somewhat
of billy country. We are having a
good deal of snow now. Lands here are
worth from three to ten dollars per acre.
Cotton, corn and wheat are the products
of this country. This country averages
about one-half a bale of cotton to the
acre and about tweaty five bushels of
corn per acre. The people are generally
from West-Tennessee, Mississippi,
Georgia and North Carolina. If they
would turn their attention TO the raising
of tobacco they could make a success of
it. They have good tobacco land The
health of the country is good. ChiIls are
about the worst sickness we are troubled
with and they are not very bad in this
part. This is very good fruit country,
both for the large aaQsinall traits. The
water is very good ee stone water.
Churches and schools are well attended.
The town Of FL Paso is blest with two
churches-Methodist Episcopal South,
and Baptist, and one school house.
The political pai ties are Republicans,
Democrats and Wheelers The Wheel.

l also had the pleasure of talking with
Prof. William Grain who has just return

in 1885 and went to Washington Terri
tory and up to Alaska, and after spending
over two years he has returned to Ark
ansas. He is a North CaroIinian and
says he was raised in Madison county.
He is now teaching school ia johnson

William is a fine school teacher and
good religious boy and has many good
friends here that would regret to see
him leave.
The society is good. the people attend
Sabbath School and are dear lovers of
preaching. They have good free school

CAPITAL COMING TO AsHEvILLE.
Mr.. c. E. Graham, president of

Company, has just sold to Mr.. F.

oi G. + Graham & Co., but now
proprietor of the Huguenot Mills,
Gre@nville, $. c.. and Messrs. H.
Cone & Sons, Baltimore, fifty tho is.
and dollars worth of stock of the G.
L. Graham Cotton Mills, of Ashe-
vile, at q premium. Mr.. Fulen-
wi Ter will locate permanently in
All nyillc, and becomes treasurer of
the company, while Mr.. Graham
will be president and general man.
agcr. Tt. company will at once
add more spindles, and one hun~
dred and fifty looms, making in all
three hundred and fifty looms; also
on" additional building 50 by IS
feet, two stories, and will run the
spinning department day and night.
l'ni8 will give employment to about
two hundred and fifty hands. The
company already own a large nums
Der of good tenement houses, and
will commence the building of from
twenty five to thirty more at once.
From the above some idea can be
obtained OF the importance of this
institution, established through the
energy and good judgment Of Mr..
{. Z, Graham, to Asheville. Experts
who have examined the new mills
and property say they are the most
complete and best sluipped mills
in the South. The mills are fitted
throughout with tie latest and
most Improved machinery required
for such enterprise. Under the
superior management of such gen.
tlemen as the above, already noted
tDr their successful ventures, only
the best results may be expected.
The Messrs Cone are known
throughout the country as large
Capitalists and most conservative
investors. The concern will repre-
semi a capital of at least one half a
million of dollars. It is indeed the
most important and extensive pris
vate enterprise yet undertaken
West of the Blue Ridge. We chroni-
Gle this matter with genuine pleas
ure, can only wish it the success it
viii deserve, and congratulate Ashe-
VILE no less than the gentlemen inn
concerned.
