The attention of this association ia

done Asheville in t.e matter of insurance

risks, within the fire limits, ere rated
al from two dollars ten cents to two dol.

lars. In Richmond, Va, such risks are
hs ken at from sixty five to seventy. FIVE
CEnts per hundred. With our present
%ster'supTiy, and very efficient fire de
partment the discrimination against
Asheville is a very great injustice. We
can bot believe that if the present condi-
ton of affairs, and the evident injustice
OF the present rate, be called to the atten-
ton of the TariffAssociatit n it will make
reasonable abatement. The present rate
is both onerous and oppressive. Would
it not be well for some organized effort

1883 will read strangely to many
this morning as telling how far we
have gone into the 10Th century. The
world is growing old.
A friend from the county called on
US yesterday. lie had walked II
miles on the icy ground, and escaped
without a fall. But the Hlminv boys
are sure-fOOted.
Mr.. Keller makes his special thanks
to the public, and wish all the hap
piest of New Years. His stock of
goods is. still large, very excellent,
and cheap. He keeps the best. Call
and examine.
The wicked walk in slippery places.
So do the virtuoUs as was demon
strated yesterday when s. number in
each category found common level.
Instead Of a hearty, aXhilarating
snow, there came yesterday morning
mean, sneaking misty rain which
froze as it touched the ground, and,
made of our sloping sidewalks a Sc
rieS of improvised and unwelcome to-
boggan slides which took pedestrians
off their feet without VIII and the
preparations of wraps and other COM
Portable equipment. Numbers of
perso' s fell. Among these we re-
gret to note was Mrs. Eben Coffin,
wis slipped in front of A. d. oop-
er's store. She struck the back of her
h9ad and was temporarily severely
hurt. She was taken in to Mr.. Coop
ers, and subsequ ntlY carried home,
and we hope wi | not have cause to
remember her fall long.
