Mr.. S. S. Lynch, a well known carpen-
ter of Ashevile. a Confederate soldier,
badly wounded in the leg at the battle OF
Gettysburg, has for several months past
suffered intensely, the ball having been
imbedded in the bone. Some months ago
he was taken to the Mission Hospitalfor
treatment, remaining there some weeks
without relief, Sympathizing friends have
urged his going to Philadelphia and Mr..
X. L. Fitzpatrick, perhaps others, have
been active in making appeals to the gen
erous for means to meet the expenses of
travel and treatment. We presume a
sufficient sum has been collected, as Mr..
Lynch will leave as stated. But good
will need not be considered as exhausted.
We imagine Mr.. Lynch will have no sur
plus; besides, he will leave a family of
young children behind, relatively desti-
tute. We know Mr.. Fitzpatrick will be
glad to receive all the contributions,
great or small, that may be rendered.

DIR. ATKINS WILL. ACCEPT
The Presidency of Emory and
Henry College in virginia.

Rev. DR., James Atkins, jr, of this city
came in on the noon train from Morris
town yesterday In reply to an interro-
cation by a CITIZEN reporter as to
whether or not he would accept the
presidency of Emory and Henry College
in Virginia, if rendered him, DR.. Atkins
said:
"Yes; such is my intention at present.
a meeting OF the board of trustees OF
that institution will be held on Tuesday
next, and have been made aware of the
fact that the Office OF president will be
rendered me. So much pressure has been
brought to bear upon me in this matter
that feel constrained to accept the posi-
ton; and inasmuch as | have just gotten
home and have SO much to do Just now,
must ask you to wait until tomorrow
for an explanation of the reasons, ETC.,
compelling me to take the course have
in this matter"
A ripe and thorough scholar an elegant
and accomplished gentleman, a wise and
efficient manager, DIR. Atkins will do much
to advance the interests of the institution
over which he will soon be called to pre-
side. Under his administration the IA
nous old college will gain renown, vigor
and strength and prosperity,

Moody's Artificial stone.

We are glad to see this material COM
ing gradually into use for sidewalks, sew
eral of the new and handsome stores hav-
ing adopted it as an elegant outdoor
finish for their handsome fronts. Among
these are Mitchell on Patton avenue, and
that of A. D. Cooper on South Main.
The stone is as firm and compact as
natural stone, and being shaped in the
forming, can be made OF any size shape or
color. 1t seems absolutely indestructi-
BILE; and except that it seems to have too
smooth surface for very confident walk
ing in slippery weather, is entirely unex
ceptionable. Another use of the material
is in floor tiles and fire place ornament.
The application Of such things is increas-
ing here, and hitherto dependence has
been had on distant points supply. That
is now made entirely unnecessary
We mention the subject not with obi
CATION to Mr.. Moody but with satisfac
ton that he has made a new and really
very important addition to the indus
tries of Asheville. With proper encour-
agement he can supply not only home
wants, but those of large area through
out the State.

THE LOwNDEs FARM.
a Very Valuable and Beautiful
Tract of Land.

In the upper valley of the French
Broad, in Pennsylvania county, about
twenty-six miles south of Asheville, lies
this beautiful, valuable and highly i'm
proved farm. The valley of the river
above Fannings bridge expands to a
mile and a quarter, in width, all OF it OF
great fertility, and therefore every acre
of it in cultivation; and being backed by
mountain ranges, all heavily wooded, OF
various heights, and Of graceful outlines
forms picture of landscape beauty not
exCelled, hardly equalled, in this country
II is difficult to decide upon any spot in
the valley more beautiful and valuable
than another, the value depending per
haps upon improvements rather than on
intrinsic differences. On one of these
spots, Mr.. Lowndes, wealthy gentle
man from South Carolina, established
himself good many years ago; so long
as to present to the eye now the effects
of a .judicious taste in the grouping and
growth of trees, and giving that air OF
finish which time alone can bring about.
He erected an elegant mansion on
gently slopng hill which now stands en-
bosomed in well grown white pines. He
supplemented the dwelling and adjacent
outbuidings with capacious barns and
stables, shelters for cattle, and folds for
sheep. For with the adaptability of the
extensive grounds, upland and valley,
for the production of forage and for pas
turage, it was the purpose of Mr..
LowndeS to devote his attentionto stock
raising, horses, cattle and sheep. AT
large cost his valley lands were ditched
and drained, his uplands were seeded to
grass, and in these uplands pastures
were judiciously and tastefully disposed
groups of white pines, now grown to
good sized trees, picturesque feature in
the landscape. Mr.. Lowndes may prob
ably I've considered the pioneer of i'm
proved cattle breeding in Pennsylvania,
and his herds of Devons for a long time
furnished the finest beef driven to the
Charleston and Augusta markets. His
sheep were also of the finest
Mr.. Lowndes died some years ago, and
the loss of his supervision is evident to
the eye. 1t is still beautiful, valuable
and highly desirable place.
1t is now offered for sale.

The RaymOth Bells

Is the title of a new paper, the first
number of which we have seen. 1t is
norvel in inception and execution. The
editress is the sprightly little daughter
of Col. J. M. Ray, Miss Willie f. Ray.
She is her own editor, Compositor and
pressman. The paper is gotten out on
sixteen or more sheets of letter paper
with the aid of the type writer. and is a
model of neatness. The young editress
introduces herself i'll neat salutatorv. in
which she shows that in the first lesson
in journalism she has learned wisdom.
She had thought that the editor was a
strutting idler, and the devil did the work.
Now, she knows that it is the editor and
not always the devil to pay. She an
ticipates the possibility of getting on
false track, and quick readiness to re-
trace her steps. The paper abounds in
piquant locals. Altogether, the under
taking is an original and highly creditable

weaverville Electrlc Road.

We acknowledge the receipt from DR..
W. w. Wing, of an invitation to attend
the mass meeting to be held at the St.
Clair hotel at Weavervile, on next Sat
urday at l. o'clock a. m. The meeting
deserves the largest notice from the very
boldness of the enterprise, because it is
undertaken by village with a popula-
ton of less than two hundred people.
But it is a boldness that will be rewarded
with success; for the situation and ad
vantages of Weaverville only need ready
accessibility to bring them at once to
knowledge and application. We know
of no community that has so bright fu-
ture as summer resort, and as quiet de-
iighttul home. And it has also future for
business men and manufacturers. Already
it possesses the only wooden mill in oper-
alton i'll Western North Carolina; and in
contiguity to very much fine timber, it
may induce. when it is better known, the
establishment there of various wood
working industries, to be worked either
by steam or the abundant water power
of the bold Reem creek.
Weaverville is destined to have a more
conspicuous name than it has hitherto
modestly been contented with.
