Asheville goes forward, 24O houses
have been built within the past two

ton The Gazette says: This speaks

Nothing better or truer has been
printed in a North Carolina newspaper
in many a day than the following in
this weeks Statesville Mascott: I'm 80
and 81 Marion Butler, processing to
be a Democrat, eternally criticised the
Democratic State administration ard
preached independence in politics. In
'92 he led his followers out of the Dem
ocratic party and in "a fused with them
with the Republicans and negroes. The
four years of misrule which that coali-
ton gave the State are fresh in the
minds of the people. Now there are
certain newspapers and individuals in
the Democratic party whose chief stock
in trade seems to be criticism and abuse
of the Democratic State administration
and party organization, and their shib-
boleth is Marion Buffers old cry of in
dependence in politics. Their chief de-
sire appears to be to weaken the faith
of Democrats in their party and pre-
pare them to bolt whenever there is a
prospect of success. OF course, success
could only be possible by uniting with
the Republican. The experience of
North Carolina with Republican con-
troll of the State is too recent for them
to want a repetition. Democrats, watch
the processing Democrat who criticises
everything the party does and whose
song is the hypocritical independence
in politics." for such has been the con-
duct of all past boilers from the party"

A government boat is at Weldon,
cleaning out the river preparatory to
putting the Chic, which will be launch-
ed on the Roanoke next week. The
Weldon News says: 1T was built at
Warrington, N. c., and is now resting
upon it's ways at the ship yard, ready
to take its plunge into the water Mrs.
Paul Garrett, formerly Miss Eva Chic
Edwards, has been selected by the
steamboat company to christen the
boat. The event will be quite interest
ing and a large crowd will no doubt
witness it. Mrs Garrett will use in the
christening of the boat a bottle of Gar
rett & Cos finest champagne, produced
from the North Carolina scuppernong
grape, and fermented in the bottle by
the French process"
