They received applications yester-
day for piping and fixtures for four
teen buildings, including the court
house. We are specially pleased
to see that this latter building is to
be well lighted. 1t is public ne

Messrs. J. Frank Ray of Macon,
and w. w. Zachary of Transylva-
MIA, reached the city 'ast evening
from Raleigh, where they had been
to examine the supreme court, and
find out what it didn't know about
law. These gentlemen are satisfied
that the court is all right, while the
court thought they could enter upon
the practice of law without any very
serious injury to Mr.. Blackstone,
We wish our friends much success.

For the Asheville CITIZEN.
A PLEA FOR DOUBLEDAYTOWN

Doubledaytown ought to have an
Alderman. She is getting to be an i'm.
portant part of our growing city, and
there is no city official in her direction,
nearer than Alderman Rankin; and by
strange coincidence, the front gate OF
this dignitary's home is as far down to-
wards Doubledaytown as a pedestrian
can get without losing his overshoes and
getting knee deep in mud. Hence. if to
get crossings on our muddy streets it is
necessary to be an Alderman, Doubleday.
town ought to kave an Alderman. We
repeat it for the help, health, comfort
and safety of Doubledaytown people,
that Doubledaytown ought to have an
Alderman. Will not some patriotic
citizen. member of the present board
who has his own locality provided for
through sympathy, and a desire to help
tho Doubledaytown people who pay
their taxes and do all duties faithfully
and honestly, resign in favor of a
Doub' 'edaytown citizen SO that Double
daytown may kAYe an Alderman and
street crossings.

The WAYNEsvILLE COURIER.

We received yesterday the first
number of the above publication,
just established in Waynesville. by
Mr.. F. NJ. Vancil. It is an eight
column folio, admirably filled with
editorial, local and miscellaneous
matter, and a goodly number of ad-
vertisements. 1t is Democratic
paper. and therefore will advocate
all that is for the good and upbuild-
ing of the splendid county Of Hay
wood and Western Carolina. The
first number gives evidence of de-
cided literary as we'll as journalistic
ability, and will merit the fullest
measure of patronage from an in
telligent and progressive people.
The business men of Asheville
should patronize the Courier. Hay
wood county contributes very
largely to the business prosperity of
this city, and such agencies as the
Courier should receive the encour~
agement of our people. We well
come the Courier, and wish it great
success.

Rev. C.. I Bailey, editor of the Recorder
has made a distinguished mark as an

Of the editorial chair. for he claims rank
as politician having a strong hold upon
the confidence and affections of his sect.
We look upon Bro. Bailey as a good
man in all his relations. Bro. Carter,
who will still continue his usefulness in

favorably impressed himself upon not
only his church associations but the peo-
pie of Western Carolina. We sincerely

Do Men Gather Figs ofThisaIes

1t is as reasonable to expect figs from
thistles as to look for good results when
poor seeds are planted. Ifyou plant an
acorn you cannot gather apricots, and
Iif you SOW poor and old seeds yon can
not have large and solid cabbage heads,
nor round and regular tomatoes, nor
perfect and juicy cantelouPes. The
moral of this is, Be sure you get good
seeds 10 avoid disappointment Lam

Do We DIg our Graves with our Teeth4

Some say We do; others again act as il
they thought SO. However, this may be,
1t is truth that many people contribute
to their early decline by marked imp-ud-
ences. One of these is clearly shown to-
day by hundreds who disregard the laws
OF health and expose themselves to the
vigors of winter without due regard to It's
consequences. What are these, you ask?
The death roll will tell you. The answer
is Pneumonia, Bronchitis, Group, Whoop-
ing Cough, Colds and Asthma, and the
severer pulmonary troubles usually can
be traced to these ex posures. This should
be avoided, and can be somewhat, by the
timely use of Pelham's Pectoral Syrup,
at 25 cents a bottle. This Syrup is en-.
dorsed by everybody throughout New
berry and surrounding counties, and in
North Carolina. 25 cents for Pelham's
