For the AshevilIe CITIZEN.
FROM HENDERSONVILLE.
Politics.-Capt. Toms For Senator.


Politics are getting mp in Henderson
and the people are citing excited.
There was considerable sensation on
the streets over the aunouac ,lnent that
Capt. VI. c. Toms will permit b is name
to go before the Democratic Senatorial
Convention of this District fiir nomina-
ton as the Democratic candidate for the
Office of Senator. This announcement
struck the Democracy with aston;shment
and delight; with astonishn4ent, because
they bave heretofore been unable to in.
duce him to offer for any Office, and,
with delight, becaIse the opinion is that
he is the strongest man in the party. He
is man of brains, integrity, and dignity,
and these qualities coupled with his
great ability for all kinds of public bust
ness, eminently qualify him to represent
our interests in the State Capital, If
nominated, and undoubtedly he will be.
as Henderson is entitled to the nnmina-
ton this year, he will lead the Democ-
racy ofthis District to the greatest.vietory
ever achieved. He is man of the peo-
pie and is probably better qualified TO
LOOK after their interests than auy man
in the c'unty, and by his fine personal
appearlaca, and social qualities will
reflect great credit upon rae entire West.
take great pleasure 10 thus aluding to
this gentleman bt cause It would be not
an easy matter TO say too I:uch in his
prise, and as the Democrats of the
county have made up their minds to
nominate him, what l haye said cannot
disparage the prospects of Others.

Some Rabbits,

Capt. Waddell yesterday showed
us photograph OF a rabbit hunt
which had been sent him by his
brotherin law Capt. Miller, Of
Baksrfield, Col. The picture repfe+
sented about ten men standing
around pile of rabbits that must
have numbered thousands. The
drive took place in Kern county,
and small newspaper clipping
attached to the photo stated that
the rabbits were just playing havoc
with the farmers of the county, and
regular organized drives were a ne
cessity to rid them Uf the pests In
the last two months over one huns
d ed and thirty-five thousand rab-
bits have been killed in that county
alone. This, in our opinion is a
pretty fair crop of rabbits.

WhistIing Dick.

Capt. Matt Atkinson received a
letter from a Federal ex-soldier
living in New York making in
quiry in regard to a famous gun
very eloquent on the confederate
side during the siege of Vicks-
burg. Capt.zA. has vivid recol-
lection of the great gun, named
from the shrill whistle of it's dead
ly missiles "Whistling Dick"
The Federals remembered it also
for its accurate aim and deadly
effect, and the memory of the gun
suggested the inquiry made. A
photograph of a gun was enclosed
in the letter. Capt. A. says there
is one unfamiliar feature in the
picture, Federal soldiers have it
in charge. When he was ac-
quainted with it half starved
confederates feeding on scanty
rations of mule meat, but with
courage undaunted stood to the
gun. The picture was perhaps
taken after it changed hands.
Whether the same gun or not, it
is clear that "Whistling Dick"
has not been forgotten.

no credit, spot cash, no bad accounts,
goods bought for dollars down and
