We have in our office a very liandso . e sample of tobacco cured in the "Modern Tobacco Barn." One sample is from "primings or bottom leaves" which under he old process of curing are thrown away or left on the stalk until dried and blown away, in tiie Modern iiarn tnese leaves are cured when ripe, and make the btst quality of smokers, and add about 50 per cent to the crop. Th ; recent frost has done much damage to the crops and the tobacco planter has no doubt loBt heavily. By the use of the Modern Tobacco Barn much of the loss would have been avoided, as n ?arly if not at all of the crop is cured before the possibility of cold weather. The Modern Barn cures only the leaves, (not the sta k) as they ripen and while they are in a per fect statu not kept on the stalk until over ripe, with the hope that frost will not come until tne greater portion ot the leaves are ripe, the fanrer under the old system lookd on anxiously fearing each change of the weather Jack Frost may- put in an appeatance and blight all hie hopes, wmie tne owner ol a Modern Barn can look with cool satisfaction on the larce piles of handsome brieht to bacco packed down ready for market, at very much less cost of curing, and in every instance a brighter and better duality ol tobacco.

To be Driven Tlirongli Our Principal Streets, Ami to bo Shown the Glorious "Land of the Sky 1" At a meeting of the Board of Trade, the city authorities and a goodly mimber ot other citizens, held last night in the Club rooms, the quest ion of the reception of Piestdent Cleveland on the occasion of his brief stop in Asheville on the 21st inst. was considered. He will arrive in Asheville about 10 o'clock in ttie morn ing, and will be driven through oar prin cipal streets, the purpose of our com munity being to show him the greatest fiossible reapect, , ,. -'.j.. Mr. Kepler, President of the Board of Trade, explained the objects of the meet- tng. On motion of Capt. Breese, the fol lowing resolution wai adopted : Resolved, That a committee of ten be appointed, with the President of the Board of Trade as Chairman and his Honor the Mayor as Vice Chairman, paid Committee to be known as the Committee of Arrangements and clothed with authority to add to their number and appoint sub committees of finance, decoration, &c. On motion of Mr. Stone, the committee was authorizetl to invite the Governor and other State officers and the two Sen ators of the State to meet the President at this point. All questions of arrangement were plared in the hinds of the Committee of Arrangements, and we know everything will be done to give the President a pleasant ietea of our city and lo give our people the largest opportunity of seeing our distinguished visitor. A Vr.itY Just and Timely Com- I'LAIXT. The Ilillsboro Recorder thus com plains of a very serious evil : "One of the great draw-backs iu the way of poor people getting an etl ncation, is what appears to be the systematic effort on the part of some body, we know not who, to continu ally change the books used in the schools. Almost every session a dif ferent set of books has to be bought. If the younger children could use the same books as they come along, that the older ones used, it would not make so much difference ; but no, they wont do, you must buy a new set for every child they send to school. This is heavy on a poor man if he has lots of children, aud poor men always do. Well, it may be right, but we can't see it that way. t-. , . , . -oiomon saiu, "or maktuo: manv books there Is no end.""' iolomou was then thinking of our modern ichools. We are aware that fashions change rapidly, and we think that even new fashion of ladies' hats and dresses are pretty and becoming, but so much change in childrens' school books is not so fascinating." And this complaint applies to pri vate as well as public schools. One reason for this evil lies in the fre quent changes of teachers. It is rarely the case now that one teacher agrees with another as to a 83-sietii of ij-.x'I-e, a ni new books and new series of books are -introd'i d now 1 1 v eveiv etii. TtMdhers ley i u. j t-i ii-ii to adopt something new, inure bccati.-e it is tonn:thin new" limn from real superiority ol tiie boors, and parents, in a yery lai-e majority of cases wc fear, are caught by the idea and submit to it, im pressed with tiie idea that because it is new. it must lie better than th? old books the fathers and mothers used. We have been noticing some of the methods as woii as books. and with no special degree of satis faction. Books which our parents and grand parents were taught in, and which required application to master, are thrown aside. Methods which made good scholars of them are now considered not only useless, but in some instances a "relic of barbarism." Pupils are now taught to read, in a mechanical sort of way, before or without learn ing the alphabet. The use of gram mor is tabooed. In many instances teachers think they have performed their duties when they ascertain whether the people has learned his or her lessons at home. Teaching, on the part of the teachers, is rap idly becoming a thing of the past. If we could see that, in genera, the real attainments of scholars under the present system were equal to those under the old, we could be satisfied with the new fangled meth ods and systems of the present day. But we dont. A smattering or su perficial knowledge of a variety of things is about all some of the boys and girls are turned loose with now adays, and if they learn more it must be by this own efforts and ob servation, mostly without aid of judicious instruction. liod bless the memory ol the old ways, for in many respects they were better than the new in this results in turning out a more intelligent and useful society. Especial Attention Is invited to the large array of popular remedies to be found at remain's Phar macy, near the post office. It is a rule with this house to keep any thing that is wanted in the drug line, provided it has any merits. We adyise our friends in the country that when in want of any medicines to try Pelham's Drug Store. lney nil physicians' prescriptions at low pricee. The quality of their goods is un excelled. They handle a full line ol Sundries such as drug itorea usually carry. Theirs is a complete assortment. The fine October weather is upon us.

He is a brother of the late Mrs. J. M. Gudger, anel reacheil here to attend her fuueral obsequies. Mr. Jason Ash worth of Fair view, who is a large dealer generally in dried and evaporated fruits, princi pally peaches, was in the ciiy yester dav. He informs us, that owing to the deficiency of the crop, his receipts ot dried peaches so far have not ex ceeded one thousand pounds. The Xcwbern and Wilmington pa pers both claim that the oysters are better this season, than they' have been for many years. We have to take to their word for it ; for wc see only Norfolk oysters here. But we cannot complain of them: for as fine are brought here as can ordinarily be had in Norfolk. We would be pleased to have the opportunity of comparison. We are glael to see so much inter est manifested in the extension of the Cape Fear and Tadkin Valley Road to a North Carolina port as to have originated animated rivalry between Wilmington and the friends of More- head City for the houor. We incline to a preference for Wilmington, be cause at Fa3etteville, the present ter minus, it is only eighty miles to salt water. But if Wilmington is- not ac tive enough to secure the prize, yve shall, so far from opposing the efforts of Morehead City, encourage them. for we wish to see a , North Carolina road. Mich fls the Cajie Fear and Yad kin Valley is emphavcSlly, terminate at a North Caroling port instead of being switched off, of which there is danger, into South Carolina, and thus open another drain upon our resources anil inflict another wounel on btate pride. Honor to Mr. D. F. Caldwell. We want to congratulate our Uncle Frank Caldwell, of Greensboro. We knoyv he is happy. He is happy be cause of the success of an enterprise he has been working for years. For several sessions he endeavored to re ceive the passage of a general charter for savings banks in this State, for the hour-fit of the workingmen of the State. Last winter Senator Murrow introduced Mr. Caldwell s bill, fen this purpose, and it was enacted into law. Under" it a savings bank has been established in Greensboro, and though only open for business some two and a-half months it has proven a grand success, and of great utility and bene lit to the poor people, not only as a safeiy institution but in its aid to them by safely secured loans. Mr. Caltlv.-oll deserves the thanks of his people, and the people of the State who have the privilege of using that charter, for his persistent efforts in this matter. Berlin Pianos. Of six Pianos recently received from Berlin by Prof. Falk, five have been taken by the Asheville Female College, and will be put cp to use to-morrow.

St. Louis. Oct. 3. Till this a. m. the President has been the guest of Mayor Francis ; but to-day and to morrow be belongs to the people. Fairer weather could not be asked. The skies are clear with winds suffi ciently cold to make light overcoats desirable. The streets, cleared by last night's shower, are free from dust ; and everywhere along the line of the President's ride to the fair grounds the sidewalks are crowded to their utmost capacity. The President's carnage drawn by a quartette ot richly compansonea mgn steppuig DiacK horses and followed bv five other car riages provided for his travelling companions and local committee in charge, reached the Francis man sion in Vandiver place a few minutes before 10 o'clock, at 10:15 the Presi dent and Mrs. Cleveland appeared at the door of the mansion, and were applauded by the crowd of ladies and children that had gathered in tne nark in front of the residence. There was a noticeable absence of men, and the dresses indicated a predominance of th I alter t l ii-sea. Mr. J. C. C. Ranweter entered the carriage with tne rresident ana wire, ana in a iew minutes they were moving briskly toward tne lair grounds, escorted bv a squad of mounted police and citi zens, the committee and carriages. Hundreds of vehicles crowded with people awaited on the grand avenue at the entrance of Vandeventer Place, and joined the procession, which was strung out along the ave nue for more than a mile. There was no noise whatever aiorig the route except the clatter of the horses hoofs on the road and the tramp of thousands ot feet on the p i vement. No mishap or incident occurred to mar the pleasant morning drive; and at 10:45 tho party anived at the gate of tho fair grounds. The drive to the fair grounds was made moderate. It was children's day, and the youngsters were out in great force. Thv, with mothers, nurses. and friends packed the seats of the amphitheatre and surrounding promenale to the number of (50,000. The brass b ind in the pagoda in the centre attempted to make itsell heard, but tiie shrill voice of the congregation made everything but the bass drum inaudible. The visitors did not alight. After driving around the amphitheatre and back, a halt was made, and Mr. Cleveland was presented by the lady SuneriiHtn- uentof the Kuidergarter school with a handsome Ivqittt of flowers. The children led by the Bands sans. "Hail Columbia," and the coarse. alter a driye through the fair grounds, made its way back t ) the city, whence they wei.-t din-ctiv to the Merchants Exchange. Mrs Cleveland did not accompany the President to the exchange, but was left en route at the residence ot the Mayor whence she went to that of Mrs. Scaulan, one of the Society- leaders where the ladies of St. Louis had au opportunity to pay their re spects. On his arrival at Merchant? Lxcnange. the President was tak n to the directory room where .-i large number of reprtsentative citizens from the interior of the State were introduced to him him by counties. When this ceremony was over, the President was escorted to the main hall of the exchange. THE PRESIDENT IN THE KXCIIANOE. The immense room, which is 225 feet long and 150 feet wide, was jammed lo its utmost capacity with people, and the President had tlifli- cultv in getting fioia the reception room to the platform. On the first appearance of the President, loud cheers went up f.om the entire multi tude ; anel as he assended the plat form the eiitluisiasLu was intense. Frank Gaierne, the President of the Merxh.vMt Exchai.gc introduced him. Mayor Francis then welcomed the President to the State ; anel after an other explosion of cheers the Presi dent responded. (The speech is too long for our convenient use. We can only say that it was yvell worded, sensible, and appropriate, but contains nothing of general signilicance, though abounding iu sentiments and expres sions agreeable to the city- anel h.ate of his entertainers and to the West generally.)
