Clover and grass seeds are in great
demand by our country friends, as
we are very glad to learn. Sow a
piece of land in grass and clover, if
it is but a half-acre. It will pay.
Then be sure to prepare at least one
acre for vegetables. This for home
use alone. It you can do more, tor
market, it will pay. Try it
Money is not only timid, but it is
also very discriminating. It seeks
investments in safe and profitable
places. Hence, the great and live
ly booms in real estate and other
enterprises in such growing places
as Asheville, Birmingham, Knox
viUe, Louisville, Victoria and Ral
eigh. And the boom has scarcely
begun. There are millions it it yet.

We are glad to see that Greens
boro has done what Asheville found
it indispensable to do it voted al
most unanimously on the 28th in
favor of issuing bonds to the amount
of one hundred thousand dollars for
public improvements. In these
days when the principles of sanita
tion are understood and recognized,
when the convenience of the citizen
is to be- cared for, and when the
public safety is to be provided for
that is wis economy which intro
duces abundant water supply,
makes smooth the public thorough
fares,, and regards the principles oi
external attractiveness as essential
elements of prosperity. That town
or city that neglects these is blind to
its beet interests, and must fall be
hind. It repls, rather than a'tracts,
and new enter prizes and investments
are duoocraged through the evi
dences of municipal - apathy. 1 -We
are very sure if the people of -Asheville
had turned a deaf ear to the
call made iinon them, to authorize
the issue of bonds to the amount of
one hundred thousand dollars for
increas of water supply and im
provement of the streets, we should
see little of that activity which now
animates every interest The regret
now is that the proposition was not
more extensive. The bonds were
readily sold at par; and the influence
of what has been done is already so
manifest-in the increase of popula
tion and of property valuation, that
the tax payers is satisfied of his
ability to bearjaucha burden as that
imposed by a debt at first ad object
of grave concern.
Found.
Mr. I. H. Gorenflo found yester
day, secreted in the ceiling of the
store recently occupied by Mr. Reel
wood, a bundle of handsome plush
mate, elegantly made, which is be
lieved were stolen. If not, the owner
can prove property and get tbem at
this office. They are very hand

We regret to learn that the saw
and grist mill of our friend Abner
Rhodes, situated Dear New Found
this county, was destroyed by fire
on Tuesday. It is a total loss. Mr.
J. L. Brown lost over two hun
dred dollars' worth of lumber. Mr.
Rhodes' loss will reach quite $1500,
and had no insurance. He barely
saved his dwelling and barn. The
many friends of Mr. Rhodes very
deeply sympathize with him hi tfrtd
less, one he can ill afford to sustain.
A Misconception.
Our excellent friend of the Wil
mington Star says :
"We once said in these columns
that a man who can be tickled by a
title must be either vain or weak.
Within a few days we have received
documents and lettets addressed
"Col." and "Hon." That is "hard"
on one who has no great regard for
titles well won and a great coatempt
for bogus ones."
Our fnend should remember that
it is simply a recognition by his
friends of the honors which he has
earned, though such may not havo
been formally conferred .
Jess"
Is the title of
the Novel that is
now going in serial form through
the columns of the Citizen. That
the author is a man of note and
consequence will appear when so
noted a Journal as the Pall Mail Ga
zette has given him prominence.
We quote the folio wino: :
"The Pall Mall Gazette has caused
some stir in literary circles in Eng
land by accusing Mr. Rider Hag
gard of serious plagiarizing from
Moore s "Hipicurean" in hw novel
"She," and with transferring bodily
to "Jess," his latest work, a certain
poem which appeared years .ago in
a transatlantic monthly. Haggard's
wife and Dongman. the publisher,
assert that Haggard never saw,
much read MooreVEpicurean," and
that the poem was sent him seven
years by a "young lady in South Af
rica, who led the the guileless - nov
elist to suppose it was her own in
tellectual offopriDg. However. Hag
gard being in Cypress, -working up
local coloring lor a new novel, .we
shall have to .wait some time before
we have a complete explanation.

The "Bulls" and "Bears" in town had

The unexpec.ed arrival of a very decent

Jay Gould in Asheville.
Our breath was almost taken
away late yesterday evening
by the announcement that Jay
Gould had reached the city in his
special car. It is impossible to de
scribe our feelings upon this an
nouncement. If there was anything
in life we have lived and struggled
for.outoideof the fence-law squabble,
it was to live to see the time when
Jay Gould would viiit Asheville;
and the excited pleasure of the sev
eral friends who rushed in to tell us
"Jay Gould is here" not only inten
sified, but sustained our heartfelt
pleasure.
At last Jay Gould was in Ashe
viilel He had come in his own,
splendid palace car. He had not
only done this, but he and his were
actually at the Battery Park. After
recovering from the announcement,
we ventured to telephone to the
Park to enquire after Mr. Gould's
health and state of mind, and spec
ially if he would not take a large
block of stock in the Atlanta, Ashe
ville and Baltimore Railroad, as
well as the Asheville Street Railway,
and the improvement of our coun
ty roads in general. Language fails
us in expressing our feelings upon
earning that the distinguished cap
italist and public improver and phi
lanthropist was not here. We ask
the prayers or our mends for uswe
can go no farther in this distressful
narrative. Love unrequited is said
to be hurtful : but hopes like truth,
crushed to earth well, its simply
awful J Jay Gould is not here.

But a second and more severe attack fol

The Newa-Obtenter says : Gov. Scales
yesterday commuted the death sentence
of John Card well to life imprisonment in
the penitentiary. Cardwell was convic
ted of rape at the spring term of Wilkes
county Superior Court, 1886. and sentenc
ed to be banged in July of the same year.
Before the day of execution he escaped
from the jail and was not present on the
day of the hanging that was to have been.
The execution was indefinitely postpon
ed.. He was recaptureTJ and appealed to
the Supreme Court, which affirmed the
sentence of the lower court and he was
again sentenced to be hanged April 39th,
1887. A subsequent examination ef tbe
facts in the case showed that I e was not
wholly guilty of rape and on the petition
of the solicitor and many good citizens,
the Governor changed the sentence to
life imprisonment.
The News-Obterver says: Dr. C. W
Dabney and Mr. W. S. Primrose left the
city yesterday on a tour of inspection of
the various colleges of agricultuie and
mechanic arts. They will be joined by
Mr. F. H. Fries, of Salem. These gentle
men constitute a committee for making
investigations preparatory to building the
college of agriculture and mechanic arts
in this city. The next Fair will be a
more thoroughly State Fair than any
heretofore held. Up to the last two i r
three years, competition was en to the
world, but for the last two or three Fairs,
no premiums have been awarded to cattle
owned outside of North Carolina. This
was done to encourage cattle raising in
our own State. This rule was also appli
ed to horses at the last Fair, except
horses entering for trials of speed, which
competition was open to the world. This
rule will be applied to this department
at the next Fair, and only horses owned
in this State will be permitted on t'ue
track. A Fayetteville telegram of the
28th says : A brick buildinn on east
Market street, owned by George Windsor
(colored;, ana used as a bar-room, gro
cery, and residence, was burned this
morning at 3 o'clock. No alarm was
given until the house was almost consum
ed. Two negroes jumped from the third
story windows and were badly injured
one breaking his arm and leg, and the
other receiving internal injuries. Tbe
basement of this bouse has sevetal times
been raided by the police for being used
as a gambling den, and owing to the fact
tbat blood was - discovered on tbe floor
before it burned the negroes are much
excited and believe that a murder was
committed and the house set fire to hide
it. The house was insured for $800.

During tbe last six years 24,000
persons have died of cholera ia the
city of Calcutta and its suourbs.
Any attempt to improve the sanita
ry condition of this "home of chol
era" deserves attention even in
America, for Calcutta has been
a standing menace to the heal h of
the Sjrorld. From it chokra has
been carried in all directions. Tbe
Calcutta Health Society, founded
three years ago, appears to be doing
good work. It recently reported
that the great mortality from clolera
was directly traceable to tbe fiftby
condition of certain plague spots,
to defects in the drainage system,
to the want of proper control of the
milk supply, and to the deficiency
of the water supply." These are
causes that can be removed. That
the water supply is not what
it ought to be is show by the
Statement that of 200 samples of
tank and well. waters analyzed some
time ago, "44 per. cent were true
sewages, 22per cent were dUota ;
sewages, 20 per cent contaminated
with considerable quantities of sew
age, 9 per cent were dirty, and only
4 or 5 per cent moderately safe." ., .
