" Our friend of the Raleigh Biblimt Re corder well says : - - ? "''Asheville is one of the most enter prising towns in the State. It is the great tobacco market of Western Caro lina and has a large mercantile trade. As a summer resort it has a national reputa tion. It is the queen city of the moun tains. The scenery is grand. The streets and lots are models of cleanliness, and they prove conclusively that the services of tbe sanitary inspector, Dr. DlT. Mill ard, have been most efficient. Would that every North Carolina town had a Lr. Millard as sanitary inspector." And we can assure our friends that Dr. Millard and our city authorities will not relax their efforts to push the good work of improvement and cleansing. Our authorities are determined to spare no efforts to make our beautiful city what Sho ought to be, can be and must be, in which they are heartiU sustained by our citizens generally. -;-fVV. :v Hotel Arrivals-': . ; -. .

An inqu est being held, the jury rendered a ver dict that Crisp received the death blow from the discharge of a gun in the hands of an unknown party. All calm and thoughtful persons of our county pro nounce the'occurrenee an accident; but the whole affair is shrouded in complete and perfect mystery. The deceased left a wile and several helpless children in very straitened- circumstances. This seiious tragedy, happening, as it did, has created a feeling of peculiar and profound regret throughout our county..

May Heaven in its unbounded charity shower upon the deeply afflicted family its rays of consolation and abiding hope that his poor unfortunate wife may so" live that when she is called to sleep the sleep that knows no waking, her soul may be her alded to the blessed abode where Heaven and its angels dwell; that her little chil dren, fatherless as they are, may be so reared and tutored in the principles of piety and usefulness, that they may not only become useful and worthy mem bers of society, but bright and splendid lights in- Heaven's just and holy cause.

'. - ' ; ... Tom FEKGtscor-dpc,STEi--j--- Our esteemed friend .Tom Ferguson of Sandy Mush, has been a ,"seeker" for some time, and has been the . subject of the serious solicitude of his many friends in his township. Of late he has been going out to the mountains, and com muncing with nature, and, it is hoped, earnestly and honestly prayed for com fort and consolation.- During these re cent visits to the mountain, while alone and undisturbed by the wicked things of their life, he combined business with other matters, and" repaired his fences around his excellent pastures, and plac ed therein his fine cattle and other stock. Some days ago he again sought the mountain fastnesses, and his flocks, still anxiously enquiring after the right, and asking for a revelation, when lo 1 it come: when in sight of his pasture 'and his flock, which he had but a few; days be fore so securely fenced in,- his eyes . be held numerous cattle, and sheep and hogs tares evidently turned loose by the wicked to swallow up the crops of the hard-working husband-man, making havoc with the work of his hands. He raised his voice in one long-loud, happy shout. The revelation he had sought was now vouchsafed unto him, and he exclaimed, in words more" expressive than pious, "if this dont convert a man then d m me' He referred to the No Fence law, and since then : he has been constant and happy in urging the im portance of : that . new system. , Crops when well fenced in are not safe against the stock allowed to roam at large,-and the only thing that will lave crops, and much labor and expense is the No-Fence law. Tom is solid now. . The Raid into Moccasin. 1 -'. On Sunday night last a party consisting ofv officers ; Thomas - Hood -and Charles Frost, with James Keener; and .

They crossed into Georgia into ,what is known as the'Moc casin country.. When in. the gap - about three miles from the Widow Crane's, they came suddenly upon three men, standing in the gap or trail, and called on them to halt, it being then pitch dark. The chal lenged parties stepped back a few paces from the trail and opened fire upen Hood and his party. The firing was briskly re turned. The three men then made loud signals for help, and in a few moments a rescuing party was heard comings up. Hood's party followed up the pursuit for about a quarter of a mileT when they were compelled to fall back, and ultimately to return to Highlands, their force being too small against the odds; presented. The only damage doney so far as known "'was a slight flesh wound across' the back of the right hand of Sneed, made bya gun shot.". - '; -.-rd 5 ' " 1 -t ,. -- '". . Monthly" Tobacco Report. . ; .
