OUR MAN ABOUT TOWN.
what He Sees and Thinks of
Things Generally.


The recollections of Asheville twenty
years ago as expressed i'll Thursdays
CITIZEN produce background for COM
parison which should make the Ashevil-
lians bosom swell with pride. The replac-
ing of the wrecked barn on Battery Park
hill by palatial hotel is fan illustra-
tion of the way things are changing for
the better. We wonder what twenty
years recollections in 1909, will reveal.
Bv that time THE CITIZEN will, at the
present rate of growth, be an eight or
twelve page paper, printed every day III
the week. with so many advertisements
that the business Of the place will be
doomed thereby to unusual proportions.
The surrounding hilltops will abound
with elegant villas. Sanitariums torcon-
sumptives will be managed by some OF
the leading professionals of the world.
Our roads will he improved. The side
walks perfect. Sprinkling carts will be
operated Systematically, and beautiful
Asheville will blossom like a green bay
tree. The river front will abound with
manufacturers, and the centering here OF
new railways will make big union
depot necessity. Such in small part
may be the changes twenty years from
now.
Speaking of sanitariumS recalls the sig
nifcance of the action OF DR.. Karl Won
Ruck i'll leasing the Sui phur Springs house
which he will use for a sanitarium, capa-
bic of accommodating 200 or more. This
physician is now one of the leading lung
specialists of the country He has tried
Ashcvile and is convinced that the eli
mate here is most favorable to consump-
tive patients. His faith is demonstrated
by his leasing this large property. Dr.
Won Ruck has the first and only santa
rum for consumptives i'll the hecountry. He
sees the true way to treat the disease. He
is securing good results. The medical
profession throughout the country arc
watching and appreciating these results
This means accrued advantage for Ashe
vile.
~
Some drummers' association has beer
demanding cheaper sleeping car service
and other things as being due the travel
ing commercial public. In fact these gen
tlemen of the road have demanded such
low rates that they are accused ot
wanting the earth"
"Why do not Asheville butchers cut
beefsteak thicker" is a question | hear
asked by many visitors. Thin steak is
dried up in cooking and is an abomina
ton.
