GOOD SCHOOLS TO DE EsTABLIsHED-GOoD
ADVICE TO FARMERs-SINGULAR DEATH
OF A COW.
BURNsVILLE, Feb. 13. 1855.
Feb. Is, 1888.

BUREsVILLE, Feb. 13, 1888.
A meve in the right direction is what
some of the good citizens of Prices Greek
township have determined upon, and
that is the erection, at a convenient
point, of a Bchoolhouse with sufficient
capacity to accommodate large number
of pupils. It is their purpose to build up
= school that will command tie services
of first rate instructor. Nothing that
they can do will yield better results to
that community than the building up OF
such school as the projectors antici-
pate. They should be encouraged i'll
their laudabie enterprise. 1t is truly a
move in the right direction.
The wet weather of the past week is
seriously retarding the farmers in their
operations for the years crop. 1t is safe
t. say there will be an increased acreage
in the tobacco crsp in this county the
present year. This is to be expected,
the good prices obtained at Asheville
and elsewhere for the crop of the past
wear is well calculated to stimulate in
creased production. If they will only be
guided bY the lamp of experience and
the advice of the CITIZEN and be sure
first to produce enough to live upon and
then some tobacco, and likewise max.

just being handled illuatrates the fact
that the smaller crop well handled
brings more money than the larger
badly handled. Let each farmer plant
only so much as he can we'll take care of
and he is almost certain to be well re
wardeG for his labor There are still
Somo crops of fine tobacco on Jack s
Creek, though it may find its way to
johnson City Tenn, instead Of going to
Asheville, its proper market.
Mr.. William Hunter, farmer living
on Crabtree, lost his only milch cow q
few days since from a remarkable cause.
On Monday last he noticed the COW was
complaining and she died on Thursday
morning after the most intense suffering
He concluded after her death to make
an examiDation and if possible ascertain
the cause. Upon examination, the heart
presented an unnatural appearance,
when in cutting into it his knife struck q
hard substance. This proved to be a
piece of brass or copper wire an inch
and a-half long and about the size OF a
.arge pin. Upon further examination
he found it had worked throush the
paunch and thence penetrated the heart
Mrs. Hunter says the animals suffering
for the last forty-eight hours were be-
yond description. People should be
careful not to feed their COWS on wire.

AN ERROR.

AN ERROR.
We regret we made mistake in refer
ance to hIr. Dryan, the popular pastor of
the PRESBYTERIAN Church of this city, in
stating he had received call to the pas
torate Of church in Savannah, and yet
we are much pleased that We were mis-
t. en- in the statement. Mr.. Bryan re-
ceiyed an earnest request to go down
and preach for the congregation for a
Sabbath or 60, as the church has no pas
tor. bat the request was not a call to the
pastors;e. MI. 3. will take pleasure in
preaching 70 the Savannah Church
when he can so {, 0, but we hope no eff
furt VIII be made to persuade him away
80 satisfactorily.

DO Men GasEser FIGS % .,Eslstses?

1t is as reasonable to expect figs from
thistles as to look for good results when
poor seeds are planted fyou plant ar
acorn you cannot gather apriccts, and
if you SOW poor and old seeds You can
not have large and solid cabbage heads
nor round and regular tomatoes, MOI
perfect and juicy canteloupes. The
moral of this is, Be sure you get good
seeds to avoid disappointment. Ian,
dreth's seeds are regarded the best al
over the United States, ard you can geI
the best crop at Pe!ham's Drug Store.

c. NJ McLoud, of Ashcville, who
knows great deal about politics and
other things in Western North Carolina,
is at the National. He gays St0dman is
very strong candidate for Governor in

to Senator Ransom's reelection. But

Nj. L. A. Farinholt was called to
Knoxville yesterday to meet tie
gentlemen interested in the Ashe-
vile street railway. These parties
will decide at once when they will
begin work on this important enter
prise.
A paper mill would pay at this
point, beyond peradyenture. The
finest water power in the Sou'h is
near Asheville, and then we
have the fneNt woods in the
world for paper making. And W.
are very confident that Immense
quantities of rags can be obtained.
Here is a splendid opening for some
enterprising capitalists.
Oar Pennsylvania friends Mr.. w.
T. Connell ard Mr.. Thomas Wood
were in tile city day or two since
on their return from Richmond, to
which city they had taken cattle for
sale. They are both Scotchmen of
exceptional agricultural skill and
in this country have been very suc-
cessful farmers. Mr.. Wood has
had charge OF the celebrated Lown-
des cattle farm, six miles from Bre
ward, mrd del in its peculiar tea-
lures for all Western North Carroll
ma. There is greater breadth Of
grass seeded down than on any farm
we know and the amount OF
turnipS and other root crops for
winter substance is something won
derful. But the Lowndes farm
shows very conclusively what can
he done in the mountains in. con-
neCti0n with cattle raising.
A party of New England excurt
-ionists, forty i'll number, and rep.
resenting large Hartford, Conn,
interests, have just returned home
after going as far South as Decatur,
Ala. At that point they made
large investments with the view of
Introducing there several branches
of New England manufacturing inA
dustry Their operations are sug-
gestive. v by should rot effort be
made here to induce similar ex
cursion? ? Why not make Asheville
IN objective point at which cotton,
wooden and other branches of man-
uiacture can be introduced, besides
the thousand and one branches of
wood ware for which New England
is famous, even under. the disadvan-
tage of importing its raw material ?
Here it abounds and this, in con-
nection with climate, with conven-
fence of communication, with COM
mand of the markets of the country
might give Asheville and Western
Nortl Carolina the influence that
New England now exercises over
the whole commercial world.
