Don't forget the masquerade carnival

a prize for the best costume and win the
admiration of all bcholders with the
wonderful figure you cut on rollers. Only
beware of the floor in your evolutions.
1t is said to be quite hard.
At the news stand at Battery Park it
is learned that the number of CITIZENS
sold to guests is three times as large asi
was last year The sales have regularly
increased every month, and, when the
winter season is in full blast, they say
they expect to sell from rs to 80 CITI-
zENs day.
At last glec club is in process of or
ganization, and the balmy air will be
laden with sweet strains which will no
longer proceed only from the AshevilIc
band, or from that drug store, where the
dulcet notes of the falsetto drive the be-
lated wandercr to his home, and arouse
every cat in the neighborhood to a
friendly rivalry and emulation.
Ha! There is old Uncle. He thinks he
r,1l l.,
cent. he cries, and shovcs plank across
the street. What a business he would
have, if only there was such man, but
there isn't. And yet many would pat
ronizc him. Better pay cent for good
crossing than imperi both soul and soles
Watch that crossing. Here they come
Slap, Rang! And those number tens
cross the pcrilous sea OF mud and water
leaving their foot prints on the mud OF
AShevilc. Daintily arched feet shrink
and trcmhle when they see the danger,
but one little coquettiSh look to the right
and left, gasp and an OH, their pretty
owner is over, and the loungers on the
street corners return to their business
with sigh OF regret
Hurrah for thanksgiving! The turkey
has been shorn of his splendor to grace
the festive board. Old Chanticleer's $ num-
bers are thnned and our chances for a
good nights rest are improved. From
editor to devil dyspepsia will claim its
own, and our great and glorious grand
mother will sit by our coucheS and keep
us company through the long, dreary
hours, ere we hail the dawn with a sigh
of relief Professions ofsIaughtered fowl
will haunt our slumbcrs, but what of
this, it is day of thanksgiving and
thanks we will give
Who said there was rich soil, which
would well repay cultivation, on the
sidewalks? Ashevile has any quantity
OF getup and go about it, but still the
utilitaran theory has not reached such a
stage, that spectators are thinking of
raising corn crops on the pavements, al
though we have heard of one real estate
speCulator who is so keen, that they say
he would like to secure options for thirty
days on the churches, so that he might
realize percentage on the minister's sal
AIRY to whom he might offer the position
of incumbent.
When man is on trial for his life, no
one should withhold their testimony
They may think that they can add moth
ing to what is already known, but theirs
might be the missing link in the chain Of
evidence. Several young men refrained
from letting people know that they had
been witnesses of the fight when William
Fore killed Amos Lunstord. Such action
is very hlame-worthy, and would he Sc
vercly criticised by those who desire Just
ice to be fairly metcd out and realize the
Importance of having all the witnesses of
such scene relate what they have seen
and heard to the jury,
Apropos of the number of hotels which
are in process Of erection or are only be-
ing built on paper is the remark of Mr..
A. Loomis, the obliging clerk at Battery
Park. "If all the people came to Ashc-
vile whose letters have answered, and
whom have sent circulars in the last
month, they could not find room enough
in this place to hold them. This will
give you an idea Of the great number of
inquiries which are made at this hotel
alone, and what must it be if we take
into consideration the other hotels and
boarding houses. There is room for sew
eral first class hotels here and patronage
enough to fill them"
The late fire at Lynn, which wiped out
so much valuable property, was great
surprise to Mr.. Waldo Chase, a recent ar
rival in this city, who is stopping at
Battery Park. why" said he, Il was
in Lynn several weeks ago. The rattle
and hum of the machinery echoed along
the streets. All was business, activity
and hustle Millions of investments in
manufacturing industries were repre-
sented there. One, remember, was the
electric plant of the Thomas Houston
Company. There were 200 men en-
plovcd in it, and they worked both day
and night, relieving each other at inter
walls of feight hours each. This fire will
undoubtedly be a great blow to the in
dustries there, and was very sorryt o
learn of it in this mornings CITIZEN.
