A Norfolk (Va.) dispatch of the 26th gives the following information of the death of a gentleman well known here arid in this section, where he had many friends : "Prof. J. Willoughby Reade well known in this section lor years as a reader and elocutionist, died this morning at the residence of E. W. Moore, pn Freemason t - Uvet, iifcre he itas befen sici Sat sfcremi weeks. " The deceased was a native of London, England, but has been a resi dent in this country and State for some years, his home - being in Wytheviiie. He leaves a son and daughter, both of whom were at bis bedside. His remains will be conveyed to Wytheviiie." Death of the Founder of the United Workmen. J. J. Upchurch died in St Lewis, Mo., last week, and was buried with great honors by the Masonic frater nity and representatives of the Lodge of United Workmen in that city. Rev. John D. Vincil, Past Grand Master and Grand Receiver A. O- U. W., preached the funeral Bermons. Dr. Vincil passed in re view the life of the deceased and j dwelt UDon the wonderful work ac complished by him in organizing the order of United Workmen. Neither Charlemagne norKing Ar thur had done as great a work for the benefit of humanity as J. J. Up church had accomplished since 1868. The order which owed its birth to him now numbered 175,000 members, and $350,000,000 were pledged for the charitable objects which, were the great reason lor its existence. No simpler, gentler, gran der man ever lived than the one who was about to be laid to his long rest Missouri should never cease to be grateful that his last days had been passed tn the btate and that his body was to repose in Bellefon- tame. The speaker announced that a.njonument .would be erected to 1 his memory by voluntary contribu tions from the order in all parts of the country." . The deceased was a brother of Mrs. Lawrence, of Hickory, N. C, the mother of Mrs. J. L. Pleasant, of this place, and the latter had always been greatly attached to turn. Continued firmness on the part of Democratic legislators will soon be crowned with victory in New Jersey and Indiana. , A dispatch from St. Petersburg states that the Czar has forwarded a message to the Emperor Francis Joseph, assuring the latter of his pacific intentions. - The joint balloting in the United States Senatorehip fight in Indiana took place Friday, but without rev suit.

Thnrman, at Sewell, in Fayette county. It appears that Thurman had been employed at G. M. Donaldson & Bros.' saw mill, but had been discharged On the day in question he came back to the mill and got into a quarrell with W. D. Donaldson. . The latter returned to his work, and while his back was turned Thurman struck him on- the head crushing the skull and causing death. The murderer then fled. The Donaldsons are Scotchmen, and were engaged in manufacturing car lum ber which they shipped to England. They were engaged for some three years in handling lumber in IlaywoDn, ISwain and Jackson counties, and the unfortu nate man who has just met his death, about 12 months ago married Miss Ida Prince, of Waynesville. Great indigna tion ia felt in the locality of the crime, and the dispatch says lynching would result if tho perpetrator should be cap tured. Toe Extension of t-.e Carolina Cen tral. The P'aeiby Aurora, speaking of the probable extension of the C. C. Road, says: "It is stated in several newspapers that the Carolina Central will soon ad vance towards AsheviUe. If the town-, ships and counties will aid this compa-1 pany, the oarolma Central will in 188$ reach AsheviUe. If the latter gives us s through Western outlet, and the . C. C, & C Kailway build to the ore beds and coal fields, then will Shelby be on a bic boom. The octlook is encouraging and we await the consumation of these two railway enterprises." , The Wilmington Review, speaking Of the same subject, sas: . ' "The construction of the Carolina' Central Railroad through to AsheviUe is a consumation devoutly to be wished. The distance is not much more than 300 miles and this can be covered, when the road is completed, in 14 hours, taking the time, 23,aUca.r'w-2iJri?v by the day trnm oa the road.

The foot hills of the mountains border ing on the valley of Valley River seem to contain an inexhaustable supply of iron and marble; and perhaps of gold and other precious metals. Mr. Calvin coivara, a genial and intel ligent old gentleman living about one mile below Valley Town, and who speaks the Cherokee dialect flunently,says that the - Indian name -of Valley River is "Konahetah;" the meaning of which is Long River or Valley. About fifteen shots were nred at u. c. Deputy-Marshal J. P. Cooper last Friday while hew os crossing Beaverdam Gap, in the western portion of this country, in charge of a prisoner whom he was bringing to Murphy for trial... None of the shots took effect, but; came too close to Mr. Cooper and his prisoner to make them feel comfortable. -The object ef the hooting was not to release the prisoner, but was done by parties who are expect ing to be arrested for revenue violations.

In the Tristram case, it is now plain that the boys did not commit suicide, and there is no sound reason to believe that they had anything to do with the murder of the baker. ' The Tristram boys were mistaken lor the murderers,ana were chased and killed by an iniuriated crowd, which was perhaps agged on by the murd erer or-murderers of the first victim.

Editors : I regret that other business has prevented my answering sooner the question which you asked-a few days ago in reference to the Land and Labor movement It see tisi unnec essary for me to define again our position on this subject, as I endeavored to do that plainly and unequivocally in my re cent article in tbe Advance; and why should you attempt to make us responsi ble for the statements of Dr. McGlynn, or some other man a thousand miles away, when we have stated our own position sufficiently clear to bo within the com prehension of any one of ordinary intel ligence. : ' Judging from the number of short editorial notices which have appear ed, in your paper, one would think that, although the editors of the Citizen were greatly interested in the "Henry George" movement, they anew very little more about it than the man who- thought it meant the organization, in AsheviUe. of the Cavalry Company that had. been spokta cf. - If von reallv believe that the T,a8 9i forth : iir-inyr' article in the Aavuace, is erroneous,-- why do -you not show us m an intelligent manner where in the error lies, and give some reason for the faith that is within yourselves? - The Citizen has heretofore ranked itself along with the World, Times and Herald as one of the " "great daHies" of the world, and it should keep abreast with these, its contemporaries, in the discussion of what is admitted to Xafl the most important question in American I politics. You may know from the follow ing facts that this question is by no means uninteresting to our own people : It is the most conspicuous subject in the editorial columns of the New York pa pers and has been discussed by all the leading papers in the State. - My article in the Advance, though unusually long, was universally read with interest and partially endorsed by a large number. Mr. George's paper has a good circula tion in AsheviUe, and some of our lead ing and most intelligent citizens are pro nounced believers in his doctrines. You seem to think that our people prefer the practical to tbe ideal. But more than once you have discoursed at length in high-flower poetic phrase and glittering metaphor on the the glories of a mountain sunset; more than once you have wept through whole columns over tbe grave of Junaluske and discussed in labored editorials the charred bones and rusty tomahawks-relics of an age and race that hare passed away. Kow.it seems to us that with equal credit to yourselves as journalists and much more to the pleas ure and benefit of your readers, yon might devote some time and space to the discussion of a question eminently prac tical, of vital importance, and interesting to all. Whatever you would ray would be read with eagerness,, and surely a cause, if true, could not suffer when ad vocated by such champions. So, gentlemen, if you have aught to say in refutation of our position, eay it, or'do as Cromwell bade the Rev. Mr. Hiich, "Leave off your fooling and come down, sir." Very respectfully, . ' " -1 '.

Reid, who recent ly resigned his seat in Congress be cause 01 nnancial embarassments, and who was supposed to have joined the American colony in Can- ada to escape prosecution, has re turned to his home in Rockingham county, N. C. Presumably his af fairs were not as bad as reported. It is the hope here that such may be the case. He was very popular among his associates, and there was universal surprise and regret at the disclosure of his troubles. His po litical career may be ended, but he is a young man of energy and fine capacity, and has time in which to retrieve himself financially. EJver Pills.
