FIRE LAST NIGHT.
The BuncOmbe shoe COmpan
suffers q L.Oss Of $500,

The Buncombe shoe Company
suffers q Loss of $500,
Last night shortly after 10 o'clock fire
was discovered in the basement Of the
building on North Main street occupied
by the Buncombe Shoe company, as a
factory. An alarm was turned in, but
three strokes only were struck.
The FIRE department turned out as
quickly as possible, and after a halt
hours good work had the fire extin-
guished. The bulk of the damage done
was to the stock of shoes, mostly un-
finished, and several Of the machines
were slightly damaged. The floor was
burned through in several places.
The damage to the stock and machin-
cry cannot be learned now, but it il
thought will be over $500. rhe stock
and fixtures were insured with companies
represented by Lawrence Pulliam and
T. W. Branch.
The origin OF the fire is unknown, but
there 10 suspicion of incendiarism, a:
the rear basement door was unboltec
when the fremen arrived.
The failure of the fire apparatus tt
work was due, Lineman Austin says, t,

machine. The apparatus frequently op
crates impertectly, but Mr.. Austin ha
been at work on it today, and says 1t i
in good order now.

Colonel Coleman is in the city to put
in bid for the paving soon to be let.
For twenty years he has been railroad
contractor in Georgia. South Carolina
and this state, and his success is a matter
of rejoicing on the part Of his many
friends in Buncombe. for the respect they
had for him was never greater for any
man in this section.
Col. Coleman rejoices at the prosperity
and progressive spirit he finds at his old
home, and 10 here to help in pushing 1t
forward to its bright future. Hisletters
recently published in this paper on the
subject OF the Atlanta, Asheville and Bal
timore railroad, will he remembered by
readers of THE CITIZEN. He says the
prosperity of the townships aiding in
this matter, in the way indicated in the
commissioners order submitting the
proposition, commends itself to his judg-
ment as a wise and proper thing for
them to do; and at the same time the
private stockholders can well afford to
build the road, as its receipts will surely
pay the interest on the bonds. Col.Cole-
man is anxious to become stockholdeT
in the company and assume the response.
bility, feeling sure no loss will result to
them or the township as the road will pay
it's own way. 49,.

Last night was the boys evening at
the Young Mems Christian association.
Eighty boys, active and wide awake,
we're present promptly to attend the
reception given by the boys department.
An interesting program was given
consisting OF recitations by Philip Cooke,
Fitch Taylor and Prot. E. P. Maugum.
Some of these were very humorous and
were heartily enjoyed by the bows. Violin
and piano music was rendered by Messrs.
Harold Ganatt and c. P. CARAT, and
L. c. Shuey gave graphic account OF his
experiences in the Mammoth cave. A
pantomime of dancing dolls WAS particu-
larly amusing.
The boys then adjourned to the lecture
hall and did full Justice to the refresh
ments which had been provided by the
ladies.

favor of improvements, but that l would
rather wade in mud knee deep tor the
next two years than to see the money
misapplied and wasted. l stated that
because OF the way our elections had
been manipulated and the means used to
elect public officers, had caused me to
lose confidence that had not voted II
municipal election in four years; that
did not vote for the appropriations, al
much as was in favor of the schools
and for the reasons set forth, l nov
