A goodly, crowd in f Attendance
upon court yesterday.
Mr. C. C. Crook, of Newfouud, tells as
that the mercury was 20 degrees below
zero at his houce on the cold Monday
morning. And be tells us that all his
peach buds are killed.
The Shelby New Era enters-upon its
third year with the most encouraging
prospects. Shelby has too very excel
lent papers, the New Era and the Aurora,
which are a credit to journalism; and we
wish them both all prosperity,
Mr. R. L. Fitzpatrick has added a new
and attractive department to his busi
nessthat of paper hanging. His styles
are very beautiful, and embrace all styles
from the cheapest to the most costly. His
styles for ceilings are elegant in design
and very rich in enect, and tne most ex
acting taste will be satisfied.
Our old friend Mr. W. E. Weaver paid
us a visit yesterday. His visits to Ashe
ville are somewhat infrequent owing to
delicate health. Many of our readers the

ber him as a member of the House a few
years ago. , . ' -
About two inches of snow full during
Saturday night, bnt disappeared during
the following day under a temperature
rather above the freezing point. The
"cold wave" which was predicted did
not beat against our mountain sides this
time.
The regular monthly meeting of the W.
C. T. U. will be held in the Y. M. C. A.
rooms this p. m. at 4 o'clock. ' All inter

Mr. W. E. Crtok, of Trail Branch, Mad
ison couuty, informs us that a lad of ten
years froze to death in the . cold
spell onj Cedar Creek, Tennessee, nearl
the N. U. line. Nothing but the great
abundance and proximity of fuel in this
mountain country prevented intense
sun"erincand loss of life. From 20 to 25
degrees below zero was a common mark
ing of the mercury.
As Monday the 15th of Febru-
aryissovery near bt. valentine s
day, we hope our friend John In
gram, of Avery's ' Creek, will not
make a mistake and present his
Valentine to the joint meeting.

Asheville Tobacco Makkkt.
Monday is usually a dull day in ware
house transactions, and it is only within
a few years that it has become a recog
nized sales day; the reason beingr that as
most of the tobacco was brought in by
the farmers in their wagons, it was pre-:
ferable to them tha- they be at home on
Sundays rather than on the road. The
shipment by rail road has to large extent
obviated trouble on that score: and in
this immediate section, so many of the
farmers are. within half a day's drive of
Asheville, that Monday is as busy a day,
ordinarily, as any other dy n the week.
This was the case yesterd4r: and thou eh
the early forenoon waa daJt, threatening!
rain or enow, me uuenugo were vt?ry
good. The sales at all the warehouses
were large with the exception of the
Asheville, which had the first sale, which
was at an hour of the day so dark that
the proprietors would not do themselves
or their natrons the injustice ol putting
all they had to sale. What they had on
hand fullv equals that sold by any other
house. The spirit of the market was
good through the day, and prices still
show an upward tendency.
We quote from the sales as loilows :

A siIevillb Illustraled TriE New
York South Mr. II. A. Helper.
Wo are pleased to. note that Mr,
H.. A. Helper, who is the North Car
olina agent of the A'cw -Fori South
aiournal of very wide circulation
in the United States," Canada and
England, has already rendered pur
State great service in iis descrip
tive letters, proposes to write up
Asheville at length, introducing el
egant illustrations of prominent
points, enterprises and buildingsn
and about the citv, which "article
will appear in both the American
and English editions of the South.
The artiele will point out," from re
liable data, the advantages and at
tractions of our city as a Health Re
sort, and as a. sanitarium for con
sumptives and invalids. It will
contain much information -concern
ing this section lroni an agricultu
ral point of view, ot the develop
ment of tobacco growing, and of this
city as a centre for jlie sale and
manufacture of the weed, of the ad
vantages offered 'for manufactories
of variouR kinds, of the rapid growth
dT population, and. business enter-ljg
prises, anu very many leuiurvs cal
culated to attract good people - from
all sections inque3t of good homes,
where contentment and prosperity
will surely follow reasonable ap
plication of energy and effort. Such
an article, in such a journal, will
do Asheville much yes, great good.
We are pleased to know that the
Board ot Trade have decided to as
sist in the' cost of this work, the
price for which is very nominal, and
other public spirited men have con
sented to contribute likewise. We
commend this matter to our . bus
iness people, who wish to see Ashes
ville continue to boom and grow in
population and wealth. To keep
the current . of improvement going
may requiro us to tax ourselves,
but by all helping as best they may,
the tai on each for this and many
such judicious efforts, will be very
light. Let us all work for Ashe
ville. Col. W. J. Clark, ofNewbern, died
in that city on the 23d. . He was 11
native of Raleigh, and at the time, of
his death was about 65 years old.

.Of Rutherford county is La the city for

And probable extension - to Asheville re

enthusiastic over railroad prospects for

completion, during Ibia year, of two
roads into Rutherford.- As to what di
rect extension may take, after reaching
Rutherlordton, all is mere conjecture at
present ; but he says all opinioDS are
united upon the idea that work will not
stop at that town, but one or both lines
will etrike out for new territory. Wheth
er one or both may come to Asheville
will depend upon the substantiality
of inducements ofFered. v The Judge, and
peopleof his county generally, are very
anxious for the Asheville connection,
and hope that the people of Buncombe,
and the city of Asheville will be ready
to respond with their usual liberality to
such an enterprise. W are pleased to
see oar friend, and to bco hiui so enthu
siastic over the matter. ' . - .

At his farm on Haw Creek, in the
vicinity of Asheville, on Saturday4
the 23rd inst Mr. .Thomas Bell. '
The deceased was a nativo of Lan
arKsnire, &couana, ana until his re
moval to -America; was a successful
farmer of AVestfield near Glasgow.
The - encroachment of pulnionary
disease compelled a change of cli
mate ; and in October 1884 he came
to Western North Carolina. He
purchased a farm on Haw Creek
about five miles from Asheville,
which he improved with the char
acteristic- industry 'and judgment
or. his courtrymen as long as. his
failing - health would per
mit and gradually yeilded ; to the
ravages of consumption "
Of Mr. Bell' personally, we know
but little. - He was a good man in
the truest sense of the term, a devot
ed husband,' a kind father and a
devoutchristian;' a member of the
Presbyterian chhrch; his attachment
to which was ilXirfrated by almost
his last wish thOie be buried close
to the walls of the 'Kirk;" which
request was complied with.
The funeral services were con
ducted at the late residence of the
deceased by the Rev. Mr. Gam
mon; and the remains were.intered
in the Presbyterian church yard in
this place,attended by all theScotch
menof the city and vicinity, the
three little sons of Mr. Bell" being
present as chief mourners.
. Mr. Bell leaves awidow and sev
en children, all of whom are the re
cipents of sincerej?ympathy in this
hour of their bereavement and in
this land of strangers..
The Presext Schedule.
We l.ave reason for presuming the
present, schedule on the V. N. C.
Road is only temporary, intended
as a measure of necessary economy
during the dull days; but it causes
some inconvenience so far -as our
Western connections are concerned,
notwithstanding. It is well known
that the East Tennessee authori
ties are averse to any arrangement
which fa vors-tl. is section, or rather
the VYN. C. Road, and this, in ma
ny instances, causes some confu
sion, 11 notning worse. However,
the present schedule is hurting, at
least to some extent. The Katie
Putnam Company was in Knoxville,
and had 1111 appointment in Char
lotte, and desired to take' Asheville
in en route, but a telegram was re
ceived yesterday morning annnun
cing that owing to the break at
raint. Rock, the company would
forego the great pleasure of gratify
and edifying an Asheville audi
ence, anu would proceed to Char
lotte by .way of Atlanta.
- Mm., m ...
Kow, our people can and will
stand most anything which may be
imposed on human nature; but to
be denied the privilege of seeing the
beautiful and attractive Katie Put
nam, is stretching their patience be
yond the point of virtuous human
forbearance. We call the attention of
Mr. Turk, who is a most sympath
etic man, to this disadvantage, and
hope he will take the matter under
prayerful consideration and reviso
ment One ol bur anti-stock law friends
in.: this county had some of his neig
born' cows enter his orchard a day
or two tince and destroy all his
young irmt trees, lie may or may
not be heard on the beauties of stock
running ut large" at the joint meet
