Who was the melodious ass that named
the town of Rutherfordton in this state?
Was he sober enough to give the name at
the time?
Hope Elias was the man who made the
arrangement with the Richmond and
Danville railroad. You will find no nice
fresh lawn growing under the feet of
Hope Elias.
George W. Vanderbilt bought 20 900
acres more of perpendicular farming
lands near here recently. This tract is
grand and upright also. 1t affords a
beautiful view of Buck Shoals. He will
fence it in and use it for rearing whip
pOorwills some say.
Plum Levi of Asheville closed his bar
Der shop for three days last week owing
to the panic, but reopened One-half of
the business this morning. The receiv-
ing window is open again. and he hopes
to open the disbursing department as
crops begin to come in. Mr.. Levi has
enough assets, all good, but cannot re-
alize on them. He has the promises of
all our leading citizens that he may
shave them after death, but you can't
hurry up such collateral as that The
season has been too healthful to realize
on Plus property. When pushed by
his creditors, he could only run around
among customers and look at their
tongues. Plum's popularity among the
dead is remarkable. Friends of deceased
always send for him, too. because his
shaving is a sure test that the remains
are not in trance. Plum has an old
razor called Excalibcr that makes ones
face feel like pillar of fire by day and a
pillar of prussic acid by night. Wherever
it alights one notices a little tickling SEN
sation as he doth who sitteth down where
the little black hornet or typhoid touch
me-not of Tennessee is opening a Worlds
| fair.
The appointment and administration
of Hope Elias as internal revenue col
lector of this district is giving more and
more satisfaction. He has $50 agents
under him, all of whom are perfect gen
tleman. The internal revenue affairs
here have never been so genial in North
Carolina as at the present time. Such
men as Hezckiah Gudger agree with this
sentiment. 1t has always been a very
difficult matter to attend to revenue af.
fairs here without making personal en-.
| emies, but at the present time all is
harmony. HOPE Elias is the most har
monious man that the president could
have named. He is one of our subscrib
ers and knows that we will send bach
the little willow covered tank as soon az
we are through with it. \ few more
harmonious appointments would please
US at any time. Skoal. Hope. Skoal JUS
