Hot water For wrinkles.

A very beautiful, though no longer youth.
full society woman owes the preservation of
her charms to little habit she has of lying
down when dressed for the evening with cloth
wrung out of hot water pressed closely over
to remain there half an hour. All the wrinkles
are, she claims, smoothed out Of her face by
this process, which is in striking contrast TO
the way the average woman flies into clothes
for an evenings outing, hurries the crimp all
out OF her hair while the carriage waits, covers
her hot tired face with polka dots of powder in
her haste, tugs on her gloves and is OF.

VERY VALUABLE LANDS
TO he sold In This City OH Tues
day Next.

| On the fourth page of THE CITIZEN thi.
morning will be found an announcement
by Capt. w. NJ. Cooke, ,ir., of the sale o
some very valuable real estate in this
city on Tuesday next. The business lots
on South Main street, mentioned i'll the
advertisement, are too well known to
need description in this article, but it
may not be generally known that a lot
adjacent to these has been offered during
the past few days to the general govern
ment as site for the proposed public
building i'll Asheville. However. such is
fact, and while deeds, ETC.. have been
approved, it is by no means certain
yet, that the public building will be
erected upon the lot donated to the
government by Mr.. William Johnston.
| The storehouSe to be sold at this sale is
the one at present occupied by Mr.. F.
Stikelcather, directly opposite the
Swannanoa hotel. The eight residence
lots which will be sold on the same day,
we wish to call attention to because of
their admirable situation and natural
beauty. In our opinion no finer land
scapes exist in Buncombe than those
on French Broad avenue, stretching
away on either side, with finely wooded
knolls, gentle inclincs, just sufficient to
.iHn nd Il Il
possessing an attractivenesS that ap-
proaches fascination. Elegant lots are
these, and when the new hotel, plans and
specifications for which have already
been drawn, is erected, no finer resident
section in the city will exist Already
several fine residences have been built
here, among which are those of Judge
Merrhon, city attorney Cobb, Mrs. 5.
V. NJ. Chairman, Captain Cooke and
others. Perhaps the finest private resi-
dence i'll the city, when completed, will be
that of the latter gentleman large sum
Of money being expended in its construc-
IIoH anu hIISllOl SHulIIHellS' Every
foot ofland in the vicinity will be finely
improved, and in addition, electric
street railway accommodations splen-
did streets and roadways will be features
that will not fail to attract the attention
of the shrewd seeker after handsome
homes, at comparatively small cost,
i'll one Of the most charming and de-
liGhtful localities in the CITY.

sIXTY-sIXTH ELEMENT.
wonderful Qualities of "a Mineral
Water Discovered.

4 discovery of immense scientific inter
tcreSt has recently been made near Whar-
ton, Texas a discovery which it is thought
will add hitherto unknown element to
the sixty-hve already familiar to the
chemist. Mr.. Chandley Mason, a prom
incnt cotton planter, living about five
miles from town. while boring an artes-
ian well on his place struck water a few
davs ago at a depth of 215 feet A pow
crful stream was thrown up with a loud
report and slight trembling of the sur
rounding earth. Mr.. Mason, i'll order to
test the quality of the water, drank a
glass oft, and the negro workmen also
crowded about and drank freely of the
water, which was found to be very cold
and good, though possessed of a slight
unfamiliar favor. which was, however,
not disagreeablc.
Within quarter of all hour, or even
less, after drinking the water, Mr.. Mason
began to feel strange twitchings in the
muscles of the face and his workmen
also commenced to complain of the same
sensation This twitcling soon extended
to the arms and legs, increasing all the
while in violence until, at last, the negroes
cast themselves down, crying that they
had been cOnjured and rolled about on
the ground shrieking aloud and writh-
ing with hIdcous contortions of the face
and body. As the Jerking and jumping
OF the muscles of the limbs grew more
and more violent, all hands sprang up
and joined in wild, uncomfortable dance
or rather hopping up ard down like So
many disturbed frogs.
Mr.. Mason, describing his sensation
says that he was conscious of feeling OF
great exhiliaration and an increased
HCuteneSS of every sense. The sight OF the
leaping negroes, who were too frightened
to realize that they were suffering from
fear, and their cries and Shrieks provoked
him to bursts of laughter that sounded
almost maniacal. Mrs. Mason, seeing
her husbands extraordinary behavior,
became alarmed, and, running out, at
tempted to hold him down, but, though
he endcavored to assist her by clinging
with all his strength to a post, it was
found impossible to restir:n him.
This dance was kept up, says a Phila-
delphia Times correspondent, until Size
exhaustion caused the involuntary par
ticlpants to fall PROSTATE to the earth,
where they lay and kicked for some min
utes, after which they fell into a deep
sleep. This sleep was the heavy, dream
less Slumber that follows INVESTIGATION,
and lasted for several hours, but left
them with clear heads and no evil conSe-
quenccs beyond soreness of the back
and limbs and pain in the face resen-
bling neuralgia, which, however, soon
passed away.

We learn from Mr. Otis A. Miller that

pleased with it when they saw it that
they concluded to purchase. A sale was
consummated yesterday and deed made to
Z. a. LcVenc of the property, the CON

cottages to accommodate at least one hun
dred people at the popular rates of 81

We can only add that the pure mineral
water at Skyland will build it up into a
great resort, and too many hotels can
scarcely be built there. We extend a
hearty welcome to the New York men
and wish them success.

IREDEI.L's HONORs.
All Extraordinary Showing Since
the War Closed.

Stntcsvillc Landmark.
Let us run over the list since the war
Hon. Anderson Mitchell was for years q
Judge of the superior court and W. p
Caldwell, Esq, was for even a longer
period solicitor of the district. After the
death of the former, the judgeship again
fell to Iredell, Governor Brogden ap.
pointing Judge Furches to the vacancy
In 1874 Jos. S. Adams, Esq, was elected
solicitor of the district, and though not
at that time a citizen of Iredell, he soon
made this place his home and waselected
to the solicitorship two succeeding terms
while resident here. The same year Hon.
K. F. Armheld, of Statesvile, was elected
to the State Senate from Iredell, Alxan-
der and Wilkes, and Gov. Caldwell diving
and Lieut.. Gov. Brogden succeeding to
the governorship, Colonel Armtield was
elected president of the Senate and be-
came Lieutenant Governor. For ten
years, from 1872 to 1882, Hons. Wm.
NJ. Robbins and X. F. Armfeld, OF Ire
dell, represented the district in Con
gress. The latter is now the superior
court Judge for the district and Benz.
f. Long, of lredell, is the solicitor.
For a number of years DR.. ]. J. Mott,
of Iredell. was collector of internal rev.
cnue for this district, and chairman OF
the Republican State executive commit
tee, and he was succeeded in the colIeC-
torship by 7. n. Cooper, Esq, of Ircdcl
Gov Scales chose his private secretary
from Iredell in the person of Mr.. ChaS
H. Armheld, Hon. A. Leazar, of Iredell, is
speaker of the lower house of the General
Assembly and Mr. NJ. l.. Mott, of Ire
dell. is assistant district attorney for the
western district of North Carolina.
In another field of intellectual effort We
instance the following achievements of
the past six years. all by young men of
Ircdcll county: A. 7. Robertson has
graduated with first honor at Wake
Forest College w. F. Stevenson has
graduated with second honor at David
son College and X. K. Stevenson with
first honor. Richmond =. Davis and W.
A. Garter nave won cadetshipS at the
United States Military Academy in com
petative eXaminations-the first named
graduated there and is now q lieutenant
IN the army, while the latter is vet n
cadet at the Academy. Harlee MaCCall
won, in competitive examination, a
cadctship at the United States Naval
Academy and passed the mental exami-
nation there but failed on the physical
examination.
All these things taken together make
up quite eancxtraurdinary rcCord-therc is
not another county in the State that
can equal it. And these houors and
achievements have been ours through
blind luck. From the earliest times Ire
dell has been a county ofpatriotic i'm
pulses, of educational progress and OF
intellectual force.

without selling any wheat. Foreign

A Card.


ASHEvILLE, n. 1. September ~.
Editor Citizen: 1T is exceedingly kind
in the officials of the East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia railroad to put an
agent in our city good enough to tell us
the arrival and departure Of trains, and
their delays, on the Richmond and Dan
vile railroad and we are learning to ap-
preciate this kindness.
We welcome Mr.. Day to Asheville, and
hope if such gentlemen continue to estab-
lish offices in our city, even though they
represent other lines, they will greatly as
Sist the travelling public. Weunderstand
that various other western lines intend
establishing soliciting offices here, and
we may then be able to learn all about
Il Richmond and Danvile trains, etc.
We hope too that when other lines
build into Asheville, that our good peo-
pie will not forget the Richmond and
Dunville railroad for its many courtesies
and convenienccs to the people. Very
truly, [. w. W.
