welcome these gentlemen to our

We are pleased to meet in our
city Mr. Toy, of Atlanta, Ga., who
visits this section in the interest of

We like always to notice the thrift
and industry of our colored citizens.
We notice with much pleasure the

ty, of a horse raised by himself for
which he obtained $210.00, bought
on the Fair grounds last Friday, J.
K. Davis is a colored man, and three
vears ago took the writer and J udge
Shepherd from Webster to Frank
lin, and his intelligence and courtesy
won upon both oi us.
Chief Marshall Corpening, with
his corps of excellent and attentive
assistants, won the admiration and
thanks of all concerned for their very
constant, and prompt services during
the Fair. Everything moved alone
as smoothly as clock work. " The
superintendents of departments, and
Judges, all did their work faithfully
and well, greatly to the assistance of
the association and the success of the
Fair. Their labors were delicate
and onerous, owing to the very large
and superiority of all the exhibits,
but.they performed them well, and
impartially, and we trust, satisfac
torily to every one concerned.

Worthy of Exhibit.
Our friend Idibarbe was in cha1gel
of the Ladies' department at , the
Fair. Of course, he thought every
body who entered the hall with any
thing in their arms, had something
to exhibit. The little nurse ; of Mr.
Satterthwaite, nee Miss Hester
Smathers walked in with a very
precious arratui, - neatly wrapped
with beautitut embroidery, &c. Aire.
Liabarbe spied something !ieciuily I
hne for exhibition. lie approached
the little girl, and holding out his
nanus to receive .the package, ask
ed: "this is Komethirtg to exhibii?"
The girl held on , to her jiacknge,
with a look of astonishment, which
troubled the attentive officer, and lie
again put the question, with : a
movement to take it. "About that
time a sweet little voice was heard
beneath the folds, and the truth pre
sented itself. It was Mrs. Satterth
waite's - little baby. Mr. - Labarbe
beat a hasty retreat. The baibjr was
worthy of exhibition, ..but was not

A Rare Chance fck Asheville
. Who will Respond?
Editors ofjOitizen. We all value the
efforts made by those interested in
the Fair Association of Western
Carolina, and appreciate the greai
good they have done, and will do.
in exhibiting the wonderful resour
ces of this favored land. . There can
be but one opinion of the display of
farm products, it was perfectly
niagmucent, and if it could be pre
served, for such a length of time, as
to allow the numerous visitors here
in the coming winter to examine it,
thev would surely form a Lvery fa
vorable opinion of the capabilities
of this section, i rom their nature.
however, it would be impracticable
to preserve the farm products, but
an opportunity is offered to keep
here a permanent display of woods
and minerals, which it is hoped our
town people, will not allow it
tail. We see irom your issue or tnis
morning that Mr. Poindexter's fine
selection of woods will be located at
our Club Room, and it is to be
hoped, the members of that valued
institution will see that it is enlarged
from time to time. And welrre fur
ther informed that Dr. C. D. smith
proposes to place permanently on
exhibition in Asheville, his very su
perior collection of minerals. He
has thought of confering this kind
ness on Asheville for some time
past, but lias been deterred by want
of a suitable room. This difficulty
is now removed and a location has
been offered which Mr -Smith" ap'-r
proves of, but he says it will require
ten or twelve show cases to hold his
collection, and surely we ought not'
to require him to incur this expense
for our benefit. Will you not
Messr?. Editors propose that a small
fund be contributed" for this pur
poser rrooamy one nunarea or
one hundred and fifty dollars will
suffice. Give us your views on the
subject of " Minerals.

All the preliminary . papers re

the hotel is to be completed within
one year. lhe work of laying out
drives, &c, &e., has already begun,
as announced in the Citizen, and
the architects are: busy completing
the details of the grand building,
and .as soon as they conclude,
which will be but a few days, work
will be begun in earnest. We
again congratulate our community,
and all concerned, upon this most
important undertaking in' our city,
It is but the beginning of a large

court, Judge Dick J at the . time de
livering an opinion, which was pub- -lished
in the hedernl Reporter in
