GEORGE SCHGN,
Mineral Water Bottled and
ON Drught.
RICHMOND, VA.

Mr.. f. W Lawrence,
Saratoga Springs, n. Y.
Dear Sr:-I have dis
pensed the Excelsior Water
continually atmy counterfor
the past twenty years, and |
take pleasure in saying that
among the many mineral wa
ters that | handle there
is none that surpasses
the "Excelsior.'' For it's
medical qualities it is all
that>is claimed for it, and as
a refreshing and pleasant
beverage it has a decided pop
ularity with my customers.
The apparatus with little at
tention works perfectly atis-
factorily and dispenses the
water with all it's natural gas
precisely the same as when
drunk at the Spring.

ter can now be had at II. c.

year.
The necessities are meeting hall for

GET OUT THE MACHINE.
A SUGGESTION TO THE CITY
AUTHORITIES.

The Road Machine which Has
Been Unused for so !, I,Ong a Time,
Can Soon be Put to an Excellent
Use.
A matter has been bl ought to the at.
tention of THE CITIZEN which deserves
the consideration of our city fathers
The city owns a woodworking machine,
bought four years ago costing about
$500. This machine is the best of its
kind and at the time it was bought
proved that it could do good work For
some reason however, it has been lying
idle very nearly all the time since its
purchase.
Mr.. b. p. Chatfeld, of Aiken, S. c.,
was in Asheville at the time and bought
similar machine, which he took to
Aiken, where be has since made miles of
road on his farm and streets in the town
OF Aiken. He prOrounces it a perfect
success and saving of thousands Of
dollars in making roads and streets and
keeping them in order.
Asheville's street, will soon be in excel
lent conditionto work with this machine,
after the freeze and thaw and after they
have dried out somewhat. 1t is needless
to say that with the holes, gullies, ridges
and ruts that will be left in the streets
there will be no comfort or pleasure in
driving over them, and no ordinary force
of hands will be able to work any show
at all on them.
This road machine, however, with
from four to six horses, and advance
plows il necessary, can be so operated
that it will level all ridges, fill the holes,
and turn the dirt to the center, round
ing the street up, as it should be, leaving
furrow for drainage on each side.
1t could be used on all of the
streets except those heavily ma
cadamized. Merrimon avenue, Chest
nut, College, Charlotte Haywood and
Grove streets, Montlord and French
Broad avenues could all be put in good
condition at an expense that would be
comparatively small. If the work is post
poned until the streets become hardened
again the amount OF labor required will
be doubled.
Mr.. {. II. Southwick. to whom THE
CITIZEN is indebted for this suggestion
recommended the purchase OF this ma
chine and vouches for its success If prop.
erly managed.
The results of some such work on the
streets done at once, would add a hun
dred fold to the pleasure and comfort Of
every one of the city's visitors and resi-
dents who have to drive over them.

AT WASHINGTON.

The senate shipping bill has passed the
house with some amendments that must
be considered by the senate.
The senate has passed the legislative
apportionment bill. Mr.. Vance secured
an amendment increasing the salary of
assaycr and smelter at the essay off e,
at Charlotte, n. c., from 81 500 to ST.
500.
Mr. Sherman stated in the senate that
he was authorized by the committee on
foreign relations to say that in view OF
the state of public business. The Near
aqua canal bill would not be pressed any
further at this time and might take its
place on the calendar
