FROM MARSHALL.
Revival SerViceS-DeyiI's Work
Kind Words for the Citizen.

MARSHALL, n. c., November Z.
Editor Citizen n:-Please allow me space
in your valuable paper for few dots
from our quiet little village in the noun
tains. There is very interesting revival
in progress here, conducted by the Rev.
J. c. Stowell. He is an able and elu-
quent minister, and is laboring faithfully
to convert the sinners and revive the
christians. There is much interest mani
tested. The merchants close their stores
for morning and evening services.
While God is blessing this community,
the devil is putting in his work also
Last night after the services, as some
ladies were going home their atten-
ton was attracted by something very
tall and white rising up from the
ground on the hillside; at first they
thought it was their imagination, but
on looking the second and third time, it
was repeated, until there were three dis
tinct figures standing there in the moon
light; all at once they glided quietly
away. 1t is supposed to have been some
reckless person or persons, thinking to
frighten the people from going to the
evening services. If any clue to the guilty
ones can be found the law will make
them pay dearly for it. We must com
pliment the ladies on their bravery, for
out of crowd of seven or eight ladies,
not one scream was heard, and we know,
from their description Of the scene, their
bravery was severely tested.
We read your paper every day and
always find something to interest and
instruct us; | would just as soon miss
eating my dinner, as to miss reading the
dear old CITIZEN, Long may it live, is
the wish OF, You KNOW WHO.

Fine Tobacco, Fine Prices.

Messrs. Rogers & Fore, mention of
whose fine tobacco has already been
made through THE CITIZEN, sold on the
floor of the Banner warehouse yesterday
544 pounds of the darkest portion of
their present crop, at an average per
hundred, of $+1.5O. The highest price
paid was $4,000 and the lowest $500;
and the 5++ pounds, aggregated $217.+7.
These gentlemen have some l, 1,5OOpounds
of their best tobacco yet for sale, and
there is no way of ascertaining what it
will bring. These gentlemen raise fine to-
bacco, and always sell on The Asheville
market, knowing that the prices paid
here are equal to those paid anywhere.

The Work of Grading Has Been
Commenced.

Work has been started on the Wander
bilt property Roads are being surveyed
and constructed, and groves are being
planted. All of the millionaire $ employees
are busily employed in turning the 5000
acres of land into park which will not
only be a delight to the residents of Ashe-
vile themselves, but will draw many Wis
itors to this place which Ashcvile would
not otherwise have seen. All thenatural
beauties of this property will be enhanced
by an art which draws its chief value
from its close imitation of nature. The
very latest and most improved methods
of landscape gardening will be employed
to beautiiy and adOrn it. The numerous
mountain brooks will furnish a water
supply to which many a small lake, nest.
ling among the hills, will owe its origin.
Drives will intersect the property in all
direction, now winding over hill and dale,
now entangling themselves in labyrinth
inc mazes. Over 100 miles of drives are
said to have been planned.
Yes, the project is now well under way

A GENEROUS GIFT.
A $IOO,0OO CHECK TO JOHNS
HOPKINS UNIVERSITY.
Mrs. Caroline Donovan, of BaIti-
more, the Liberal DOnatOr, and
she Made the Money HERSELF
Relatives Provided for Too.

BALTIMORE, November S.-The trus-
tees of Johns Hopkins University were
summoned to the city hall this morning
by Mayor Latrobe. When they were
seated the mayor announced that he had
been instructed by Mrs. Caroline Dono-
van, of Baltimore the widow of a New
York merchant, to present to the Uni
versity check for 100000. Mrs. Don
ovan expresses the preference that it be
used to found a chair of English litera-
ture, though if the trustees see fit to
make other use of the money they may
act according to their best Judgment.
Ex-Judgc George Dobbin, president of the
board of trustees, after conference with
the board, announced that they accepted
the money as a sacred trust to found
chair of English literature. They ex-
pressed their especial qualification that
the work Of the University is so appre-
clated by one unknown to them.
Mrs. Donovan is eighty-six years of
age, and made this money herself by fort
unate investments. She had already pro-
vided for all her blood relatives, and
thus made her generous gift without
causing family jealousies.

Light Tower to be RebuiIt.

Mr.. Adams. of the Fort Wayne electric
company, arrived yesterday to superIn-
tend the re-erection OF the tower which
fell some weeks ago. The material is ex-
pected to-day and the work of erection
will occupy about one week. Strong
locust posts will be used for guys, and
will be thoroughly anchored to- heavy
stones buried deep in the earth, so that a
repetition of the accident is beyond the
pale of possibilities.

pride, which all true Scots cherish for
their grand nation, the home of the Pa
triot Wallace, the mighty warrior Bruce,
the gallant Chieftain Lord James, of
Douglass, the poet Burns, the author of
authors, Sir Walter Scott, in short the
home of men who were as proud of their
mother as she was of her sons.

APPLES.
Let's Have a Show of This Fruit
From Our western Counties.


From Our Western Counties.
A few DAYS ago we published a state
ment most remarkable of a crop of 100
bushels of apples having been gathered
from a single tree. This wonderful yield
is worthy of record, but we attach for
greater Importance to quality than to
quantity Of this delicious fruit.
We would like most extremely to see
an apple show this year in which all of
Western North Carolina would take
part. 1t could be made most attractive,
and would astOniSh ourNorthern friends,
who have little idea of our capabilities
in this line. Capt N. Atkinson has
always been foremost in this good work
and deserves all praise for his efforts.
lust now, however, he is absent, and the
time is rapidly passing away. Will not
some other friend help us to get it up?
THE CITIZEN promises to do all in its
power, and while it would prefer to CO.
operate with Others in this good work,
if they cannot be found, it will devote its
editors sanctum to the receipt and ex-
hibition of any specimens that may be
sent, will publish descriptions of each
with names of sendcrs, will invite inspec-
ton, and pay five dollars to the person
who sends a bushel of the best apples;
the question of ofsuperiority to be adjudged
by committee of disinterested persons.
Friends of Yancey, Haywood, Hender-
son, and all other of our glorious apple
raising mountain counties, we beg of
you not to look with contempt upon our
modest offer, but let us get togethe and
arrange one far more worthy of our

BOARD OF AL.DERM7&N.
An Important session Held Last
Might.

The board Of aldermen held meeting
last evening of more than usual interest.
All Of the members were punctuaIly in
their places, and, after reading of min
utes, committee from the Presbyterian
church submitted a proposal to give five
feet of land tor widening Church street,
in which offer Mr.. II. {. Hunt, represent
ing the Christian church, Concurred, and,
on motion of Alderman Pulliam, it was
resolved. that this street be at once
widcned on the east side from the north
line of the Christian church to Willow
street. This action will give relief to a
most uncomfortably crowded thorough
fare on each Sunday morning, and an
electric light, to be placed there to-
morrow, will make pedestrians happy at
night.
Mr. J. Nj. Gudger presented an applica-
tion for sidewalk on Haywood street,
from Academy westward. 1t is greatly
needed, and no doubt will he built in a
very short time. Mr.. Pullium stated that
delay was caused by lack OF suitable
Curbing, but that the board had last
week bought a quarry in Henderson
county, and would soon be prepared to
furnish all curbing required on every
street. As the law now stands amended
at the last legislature, after the board
has placed the curbing, the property
owners will be required to make and
keep up the sidewalk. This is most
wise enactment, and will result in great
improvement to our rough ways most
speedily.

broken and men are at work excavatirg

factory to be put up by Messrs. Bran
dreth and Fain. The erection of this
establishment is looked forward to with
much interest, as it is the impression
that if it operates successfully, it will
prove an incentive, and cause other
branches of manufacturing to locate
here, and if they do there would then be
machinery enough here to demand a
foundry, a foundry would call for a
machine shop, ETC., and step by step we
would move forward, until our hopes
would be realized beyond the expecta-
tions of the most sanguine.

fashionable in New York; and Mr..
Jacobs presided at the organ, and the
volume of music brought from so small
an instrument excited the surprise and
admiration of Mr.. lnman, and he so ex-
pressed himself. We all know that Mr..
Jacobs has unusual powers as a musician,
and look with pleasant anticipations to
the coming of the new Roosevelt, when
the instrument and the man will be well
matched
