Merrimon reached hqe from Franklin county Court Saturday, in aood health and of course happy at an opportunity to visit his hotfie. We- be lieve the only objection our distinguish ed friend has to being Judge is he is re ouired to be awav from his mountain home so much. He loves his frieads none the less however, in other sections. having a heart aylow for all sections of urn nat ve estate. . The rains of the past day or two have prevented Street Commissioner Murray from prosecuting his street improvement work. .We care not who may be Aldermen, we would be glad to know that Mr. Murray would have charge of tha street im provements for the next ten years, for a more faithful, honeBt, industri ous mancannot be found. -. Now is' the time to plant all crops which -mature outside the ground. All good politics, not an under ground affair, do best when planted at this season of the year. This ac counts br the first Monday in May beingselected for municipal election, expecting all good white men to keep their heads on their shoulders and do their best for their respec tive towns or cities. Not quite enough moi:ey has been raised to complete the survey of the Carolina, Cumbei land Gap and Chi cago railroad to Asheville, and the business men of the . city will be waited on to help in this matter. This is one of the most important movements, that Ashe ville has had to consider, and the gentlemen who are at t he head of it would like to have the hearty co operation of the, citizens of Ashe ville and of Buncombe, - Mr. Carrier, the progressive pro prietor of the .ABheville White Sul phur Springs Jersey Farm" 'and Dairy, recieved yesterday ten more pure Jerseys to add to his already 'large herd. . Mr. Carrier has had manv years eqperiencel with line milk and butter cattle, and has se lected the Jersey's as t) best, Jan.d has introduced them exclusively upon his fine Sulpur Springs farm, near Asheville. . He is determined to have a splendid Jersey stock and dairy farm, and will succeed. Dark blue sateens and other cot ton goods will be worn all summer, but before purchasing a dark blue dress of any sort it is wise to ee'e to it that the dye is fast. This can be done by rubbing the blue, material on a bit of white linen a pocket handkerchief, for examole. . If the color comes oft", on no account pur chase. Collars, cutis, hngena, shirts handkerchiefs, fancy work, and even ones nana?, "take on tne blue," and this color is more apt to prove a ' fast dye where it haslmar- red the purity of a white article of dress than upon the original dyed material, for its requires the most vigorous kind of rubbing to rid the oiled linen of its blue marks. So say the laundresses. The Murphy Bullttin gives us tne pleasing information that the Marietta and North Georgia Road would be ironed in a few days several miles near Murphy, placing the terminus but six or eight miles from that town, we believe.- We hope by summer or early fall .' at farthest the engine will be helping the Jixdletin blow right on the banks of the Hiawassee. Th Bulletin also says : "We learn by private letter that a company nas been organized m Whattanooga with So.UUU cash capi tal to re-open the Wellburn Hill gold mine, situated about 12 miles southeast of Murphy, near the Geor gia line.

A smart man, who recognizes the fact that as long as men want to drink they can, in some way,' get whiskey, offered an amendment prohibiting church members going within 1(H) yards of a bar room." We deppise hypocrisy, in any thing. Let every man who professes to be to(al abstainants stand to the aoove. If every man who will not go within "1U0 yards of a bar-room", will agree to the above sentiment much trouble could be saved But ah men are not honest, and, it is hurd to tell where the people stand. Thk Late Jacob Lyons. :' The Columbia (S. C.) correspondent of the Charleston Newt and Courier thus refers to Mr. Lyons, whose sad death Friday in New Orleans we have already announced : In the business circles of Columbia there were frequent expressions of regret when the Tact of the death ot Mr. Lyons became known, for while the deceased had not been in Columbia for manv years, he left un untarnished reputation as a'biieiners mati, and bad many friends here- Jaeob C. .' yons was born in Co lumbia about the year 1,807, and resided b-re until -1807,. when he removed to Philadelphia. During the greater portion of this time he was recognized as one of the most prominent business men in the city. His father, Isaac Lyons, had a very large mercantile establishment at the corner .ot Richardson and Oervais stseets, and after his death Jacob Lyons conduc ted the business. Ihe deceased was very wealthy; He sold to the present fiiL'riar fli. Van Br ill 11 DBhn iniiflra . .t.w. , . . 1 Hox. J. M. Gudgek Accepts.

The meeting which made these selections was a very large one, and the result ot the meeting shows those who participated feel a lively interest in the continued progress and prosperity of our city.

The Board of Directors of the State Agricultural and Mechanical Col lege in session last week elected the following as the Executive Commit tee: W. S Primrose, of Raleicli. chairman; W; F. Green, of Franklin county ; A. Leaser, of Iredell ; H. L Grant, of Wayne, and II. E. Fries, of . Forsythe. The Board reduced expenses in various ways something over $3,000. The Board requested Gov. Scales to call it together again in July, and adjourned until that time. The Raleigh correspondent of the Richmond Dispatch, under date of Saturday, says: "The State Board of Agriculture practically ended it session last night at a late hour. It reorganized the entire department, but made no change as to any of its officers save as to commissioner. As you have been informed, Mr. John Robinson, of Anson county, was chosen to this position -vice Mr. Montford McGehee. dipt. Syden ham B. Alexander, of Mecklenburg coanty, was chosen to fill the place on the board made vacant by Mr. John Robinson's promotion. The salaries were reduced $100 to $200 a year in some cases. The com missioner now receives $2,000 and the chemist $2,500. It was first de cided to reduce the number of assist ant chemists from three to two, but this action was reconsidered last night. The Cash System. The merchants of Danville, Va., have started out to do a strictly cash business.. The Register lil es the idea, and is sure that buyer and seller would both be greatly benefitted by such a system. Our coteirporary gives a number of good rea sons why it is a good plan : In the first plage, if the merchant has the ready cash in hand, he can buy his stock cheaper than when be buys on time. If he buys cheaper, he can sell cheaper and the customer gets the benefit of the discount. Again, when he has the cash in hand from all his sales, he can turn his money over much oftenerand can.thus afford to sell for smaller profits, and the customer gets the benefit of the reduced pries. Again, if be stlls for cash, he does not have to employ collectors and this reduc tion in expenses will enable him to reduce prices and all thetime the cu. tomer gets the benefit of the reduction. Again, if he sells for cash he has no bad bills and does not have to charge np anything to profit and loss; and it is evi dent that if no money is lost the mer chant can sell cheaper than whun a large part of his profits must go to cover losses from bad bills.' Mease observe that the customer all the time gets the benefit of reduced prices. : '," " .Thus it is clearly seen that the mer chant is better off if he sells for cash, and there can be no question that the cus tomer save the difference in cash and time prices. But there are othr advan tages to the cash purchaser. He does not buy as much when he pars the cash as when be runs an account, i-very man who has tried both plans knows this to be true. It is such an easy thing to step into a store, make, a purchase ana say "chame it" put it on the slate" ire quently without asking the price. Moreover, as we hare said above, he can boy cheaper with the money in band than when be runs an account on time. Moreover still, be knows exactly what be is buying, never has any errors in his bills, never i a collector to dtop in on turn unex. ecteuly with a bill he had forgotten all about and which he had not inch ded in his liabilities, aud he saves the anno anceof being "dunned,", and saves timo in making tle transaction of pun basing and paying rash, do for two transactions ot purchasing at one time and settling at another. i T , , V The enervation and lassitude of spring time aie but indications of the sluggish action or :be blood, ovrtkmded with car bonates accumulated by the use of beat ing food in winter.

The bride retired early, but the groom, still felling his oats, went out to see the town. He visited a number of the prominent resorts, and about midnight, lound himself in the hotel elevator.

I - , wfldua - v - v Earl Douglas of Cavers. Earl James Douglas was not more than thirty when he fell, but he had crowded many exploits into a short life ; and his successful raids across the Border excited the enthusiasm of Scottish chivalry, and the deep enmity of "Hotspur," who saw his domains ravaged and his fame eclip sed by the young Earl. An expe- dition into England on a grand scale having been organized by the Scots tish nobles in 1383, Douglas harried the country up to the walls of Dur ham, aud then returned to assail Newcastle. In the hand-to-hand encounter before the walls Douglas is said to" have worsted Hotspur, and to have carried off his pennon. Ii was when the Scots had broken up the siege, and were encamped at Otterburn, on their way home, that the famous encounter took place, which is celebrated in the ballad of "Chevy chase." In the, night-time Henry and Ralph Percy broke upon the Scottish camp at Otterburn to unexpectedly that Douglas had not timev have bis .armour . fastened. and the "Eaxl Moray, fought all - night" without his helmetT D6bgV v : las was soon in the thickest' of the- " . fight, arme I with a mace or battle- -axe. ;lyke,a- hardy Hector," says Froissart, "wyllynge alone to con quer iie felde, ar.d to discomfyte bis enemyes." Unrecognized in the melee, he received three spearwounds at once, and a blow on the head from an axe as he was falling. His body was recovered when the Eng lish wer driven back ; and the scene which followed is one of the most effecting in the annals of Jchivalry. "When asked how he did the dying Earl replied, 'Right evil Tyet thank God, but few of my ancestors have died in their beds. I am dying, for my heart grows faint, but I pray you to revenge me. Raise my ban ner which lyeth near me on the ground ; show my state neither to friend nor foe, lest mine enemies rejoice, and my friends be discom fited." Blackwood. We are glad Mr. Patrick has been con tinued as immigration agent for the State. He has quietly done great good in the way of inducing immigration and has laid a sure foundation for further benefit of that sort. His efforts have been directed to securing immigration ot the character that we desire, and they are likely to bear fruit more fully in the future than they have done so lar. He will be able now to perfect bis plans, and we are salibfiod that the result will be of lasting advantage to the State. The board did wisely in re-electing him. News-Olseiver. MvcrPilla.
