Bob Burdette says the best place on a daily newspaper is vice-president -of a national bank. About right, Bob. ' Says the Raleigh News Observer; "Mrs. Geo. V. Strong is at Asheville visiting her sister Mrs. McRae." Mr. J. P. Richardson and family, of New Orleans, are at the Swannanoa. We are pleased to announce that their little child, which was quite ill when they arrived, is now rapidly improv ing. " The Shoe Heel Company, Capt. Wil liam Black, will come to the Encamp ment with 0 men in ranks. There will be not less than 1,000 of the "sojer boys" here. Saturday the ' 4th was enjoyed by a large number of our peopler our colored citizens specially. The latter had a festival at the Buncombe Warehouse Saturday night, which was largely atteded, and we trust the object of it was largely benefitted as it deserved to be, viz: the raising 01 funds to complete the A. M. E. Zion church. The Asheville (colored) Band furnished music.', During the rain storm to-day at 1 o'clock, which lasted 5 minutes, over one tenth of an inch of water fell, or baro metrically speaking 155-1000 of an inch. The wind changed during the storm from JNortnweast to .Northeast, and returned back again immediately afterwards. Notice. Any one having:, books borrowed from the late Dr. J. G. Hardy will please re turn them at once to Mr. Carmichael's drug store. ? 3t. Postal Route Re-Opened, and New Offices Established. On the request of General Vance the mail route from Walhalla, S. C.f to Cashier's Valley, Jackson county, N. C, has been re-opened, July 1st and goes three times a week. Post offices have also been ordered at Beech, on Reems Creek, at Owenby, west of the French Broad, and at Round Knob. v Good Work. , - 1 1 - The Citizen always 'takes pleasure in speaking of good work in this section, specially when done by our own me chanics and workmen. A piece of brick work, repairing a walk and arranging the drain thereto, done by Mr. F. R. Mcln tire, at the residence of Mrs. E. Sluder, for decided neatness, and usefulness, at tracted our attention. It is the best work of the kind we havu seen in Aehe ville, and we mention this so others can know of Mr. Mclntire's good works, and call accordingly.. . f Taylor's Photograph Gall key. .' - Mr. John H. Gibson, of Jonesboro, Tenn., has become associated with Mr. Nat. Taylor in thel photographing busi ness. Mr. Gibson is an accomplished ar tist, and will doubtless Drove a ereat addition to Mr. T. He is the son of Dr. D J. Gibson, who is widely known through out East Tennessee, and lived here some years and was associated in practice with Dr. Neilson, and was married in this city. We welcome -Mr. Gibson back to the home ofhis fathers. N ; ;,, Painful Affair Near Abdeh. : .. Our Arden correspondent gives us the particulars of a very distressful accident near that place on the 3d : . :;, ?': "A most distressing and fatal accident occurred yesterday alternoon (Juiy da; about 5 p. m., at the Line Kim near Kug by Grange, Mr. Westfeldt's country seat, Henderson county; a few miles from here. Some colored boys wno live in Arden were coming home from hunting when will JSfwin began playing wiin Samuel Hill who was carrying his gun on his shoulder. In the midst of the frolic the gun went off and shot Willie Underwood, a little boy of 10 years of age. who lives m Arden. - The load entered his left side.

Prof. Kerr for many years and valued him very highly." - His services to the State have, been yastand valuable, not fully appreciated because he was not able - to - compress the work of a life time into the compass of the career of the average politician. When he is gone, his loss will then force itself on public at tention. A letter to ns from him written from Florida gave us intimation of failing health. We were. not prepared to think the end was so near. ' - ' The Home-Democrat 6ays ? "We regret to learn that Pi of. W. C. Kerr is serionsly ill at Durham. His dis ease is consumption, and when we saw him a few months ago we feared he would not live long.., Prof. Kerf was State Geologist for a number of vears , and as such; did a great deal to show to the public the mineral resources of North Carolina. He has done much valuable work for his native State, and deserves a lasting monument to his memory. , When he dies a learned ; man and a christian . will , be . ,iost to tne State." " ' :-' - fFor tha Daily Citizen. A SUGGESTION .WHICH WE AP . "PRECIATE. . Messrs. Editors of the Citizen : Will you allow me to make a suggestion to the patrons of your paper. - I see from an advertisement in the-4dra7ce--you are in some trouble owing to the hard times, and I suppose to the indulgence given to subscribers. I would suggest a plan by which I think you can be relieved, and that is for each subscriber, that can, (most of them can by. a-little effort -as it i8Anall amounts from eac&Onei '--ts pay oae jtear in advance at once, and anyhow before the first of August. The Citizen has become almost a public necessity . for Asheville-; as well as lor ; Western North Caiolina. While I do not endorse your entire course I must say in the main, I do. The Citizen has done more for the building up of our internal improvements and encouraging the general building up of our western part of the State than any papef w have had, and I 'am proud to" say the Citizen has improved very much of late and . cer tainly keeping up with the times, I have been a subscriber to the Citizen for sev eral years, and to. the daily, since its, com mencement, paying for it at the end of each month. . Encloseed please find six dollars, the price of your daily for one year, and I do hope the. patrons of the CiTJsn will respond at once and let you gentl.men give., us an ' independent, self-sustain ine paper, ever advocating ; the interest of entire section and State. . :'.

Waynesville and Asheville. , r-kuW The following from the Waynesville News is so gracefully said we copy to', ap prove, except as to one t sentence, that hundreds of the people ' of . Asheville "sneer at and look down npon" that people and section. This Is totally un true, for never In all our existence .here have we ever heardanything from any of our people, of such a character in ref erence .to Vy aynesyiile ,.or iiaywoodr or any ' other county. We think it due to say this much. Otherwise we appreci ate the "article below - and i reciprocate fully, hot only for the Citizen, but all our people, the kindly expressions 'Truth compels us to say that the.4d vance and Citizen have uniformly treat ed our town, its people and enterprises with great kindness, for which we are grateful, but it is also true that a majority of the people of Asheville have, for years been disposed to sneer, at and look down npon our town and people. There are honorable exceptions, of course, but hun dreds of them, who never visit our town or county, are blind to the beauties, at tractions and advantages of any other section save their own. These, people talk, write And feel thiB, while near by are Transylvania, Henderson, Madison and Haywood counties, any one of which is far superior to Buncombe as to natural attractions. Still Buncombe is as beau tiful as the home of the Fairies her people are educated, elegant and hospit able and we have no disposition, what ever, to misstate, undervalue, or deride. We concede many beauties, attractions and present advantages to our surround ing counties, but for natural and. imper ishable beauties we claim superiority.

" It is; the more gratifying because of the evident .Honest differences; the .kindly feeling with , which they are expressed. We congratulate the" Citizen that it has at last induced the farmer tQ speak out in the meetin'." We hope they will con tinue, -"to turn on the light." We; all need more lniormation and by giving our experience," we can ' at least profit by the errors we have made. As the Citizen is cosmopolitan in its character, we hope 'our Eastern and Piedmont friends will occasionally let ns draw from their varied experience with the differ ent commercial fertilizers, soiling, &c, &c. The discussion of your stock law elic ited this remark from a prominent gen tleman 01 this county a few days since: "I don't know how the law will operate in Buncombe, but I do know whereas in former years, we sent weekly supplies of beef and mutton to Greenville S. C.; now our sheep and cattle find , no market there. Their butchers tell ns it is be cause. Bince their State has adopted the stock law, that., they can buy much bet ter stock at home than we were accus tomed . to bring from the mountain range. . It is a source of very great gratification and pride to our county, as it will be to the entire State, to. know that ex-Lt-Gov. Robinson has been assigned to a promi nent position in the government. . A large and varied experience in pub lic life, a broad, comprehensive mind, a wonderful capacity for grasping-details and rare executive ability, all combined with a suaviier in modo, mark him as a man of fine parts, and we are Bure that in his enlarged field of usefulness, he will honor himself and the State he loves o well. It is not unusual to see bits of news culled from the different papers of the country by the great dailies, but it is. un usual to see an editorial copied verbatim et literatim, and properly accredited, in a great paper like the World. This oc curred, quite recently, with, an editorial from the Citizen. - . The Catholic views of the Citizen on the subject of journalism in the State, we read with very great interest. We will hail with delight the day when sec tional bickerings shall cease and the press of this State become a homophone, and the burden of its song shall oe the glory, honor, upbuilding oiJNorth Car olina ' 1 -; -7 . .

W. Goodwin. These gentlemen have a new non-insulated system, based on' the principle of the telegraph, and always use two ground-connections, and always extend the rods to permanent moisture. This theory is not only a good one, but their work is very sub stantial and attractive. Their system is that by affording galvanic action, and by attaching the rod to the object to be pro tected, the electricity can be controlled with a greater degree of certainty and satisfaction. They have already, done some very hanusome work on the resi dences of Rev. Mr. Carroll, Mr. J. D. Ro bertson, Dr. Reeves, Mr. W. O. Wolfe, Maj. Westall, Mri T. C. Brown. Mr. Ray, Mr. W. H.

Destroyed.'; Tlie Result of Fourth of July , Celebration. ; Madison,' Wis., July 6th. , One of the most disastrous fires that ever occurred in this section of the State took place at Stoughton yesterday, burn ing ten out ol thirteen large tobacco warehouses. The St. Paul depot and about twenty freight cars, loaded with wheat and merchandise, causing a loss estimated all the way from $500,000 to $1,000,000. The fire originated in. an old hay press now used as the box factory . The tobacco warehouses were, all owned by New York and Philadelphia tobacco houses, Oppenheimer and Co.,- Rosewald & Co., Cohen & Co., and John Mark, of Chicago being 'among losers. , The fire probably caused the heaviest destruction of tobacco that has ever occurred in the United States .at one time ? from that cause. It is estimated that fully one third of the entire Wisconsin tobacco crop of last year was consumed. There were about 9,000 cases - stored in the warehouses ready for shipment. These cases were worth about fifty dollars a piece, thus making a loss on tobacco about; f450,000. The" warehouses: were worth about (2,500 each, making an ad ditional loss of $25,000.. The depot was a large frame structure which ! had been recently repaired, so that it was almost entirely new. A largo amount of freight was stored in the depot. Several freight cars which were burned were standing on the Bide Crack and in the excitement of the fire it was impossible 'to Temove them to a safe location. Nothing can be learned of the origin of the fire; the gen eral1 opinion, however, is that: it was started by some Fourth of July patript who was careless in the use of fireworks. The losj3, is partially covered by ; insur ance, though the exacamount could not be learned.' The loss'of seven . compa nies, regresented by A. II, Main'offhis city,; is $58,500. Individual losses, fall mostly on eastern buyere, though some of the Stoughton buyerslost from $25,000 to $75,000, and will be ruined by it, The disaster will throw about five hundred people but of employment. .
