M. at the Richmond College-Bap-

Our old friend W. R. Murray,
Esq, of Busbee, was in the city yes
teruay. For man who las reached
his 84lh year, he is sprightly and
vigorous, and boasted that he could
"throv down" the editor of the CIT-
IzEN, and "ye editor" wouldn't ac-
cept the wager. Our old friend
really felt young, because Thurman,
nearly ten years his junior, had
been nominated for VIce-President,
and being such a strong Cleyeland
and Thurman man, he really "feels
his oats" Uncle Billy, as all the
good people of Buncombe were glad
to know him, is one of the best
citizens of the county, and all wish
he may live many years yet and en-
joy thoroughly the blessings OF a life
well spent.
