Gaither, editor of the Newton Enterpriie, is stopping at the Grand Central. Mr. J. F. McKee and wife, of Davidson county, are visiting rela tives in this city. The recent hot wave has made every town m the United States wish to go into the ice manufactur ing business. The bright rays of the sun yester day was very encouraging to our people. We think the disagreeable spell is over now. We were so crowded with tek- ffra,jjmr! nni nw ad vrrtiai normal 57 ..rwvav we were iorcii t.. leave out some interesting local items. The Shah of Persia is contemplat ing another journey to Europe. We hope the old rooster will extend his trip to America. Of course he will take in Asheyille it he aoes. Mrf. J. B. Banks, formerly of Asheville, now of Washington, D. C, with her daughters, are visiting Asheville again, stopping at the Carolina House. We regret to learn that Mrs. J. L. Wilkie fell down the steps Mon day at her residence and hurt her self very painfully, though it is hoped not seriously or permanently. She was suffering very much yes terday evening. The gentlemen representing vari ous drug firms have converted our court-room into a most attractive place, by their elegant displays of goods "usually found in first class drug-stores." Those who generally frequent that hall to "get justice" would not now know the room. At the meeting of the Grand Lodge of the Knights of Honor, held at Washington, N. C, last week, E. M. Nadal, of Wilson, was elected Grand Dictator, XV. G. Brin Bon. Vice-Director, and Messrs. Marsden Bellamy and S. J. l"em berton were elected Supreme Rep resentatives. Bless old Luna, she put ia a full appearance last night.

Broadfoot, a prominent druggist of Fayetteville, is in the city ir attendance upon tne uruggist'S uonven tion, which convenes to-day. The western train, Murphy Divis ion, which left yesterday morning. proceeded as far as Waynesville, but owing to some slides or wash outs beyond could go no farther, and returned to this city on time yesterday evening. We could not learn, on enquiry, the extent of the damage west of waynesville. Bishop Lyman arrived in Asheville on Monday evening. He spent the previous day at Marion, and Old Fort, holding services at jMai'icn in the morning, and at Old Fort at-Bight. The health of the Bishop is considerably improved, bnt he is advised nt to firiflertake any regular and continuous visitations; until after the j resent month. He hopes, however, to utilise most of the Sundays, by holding a single service in places not remote from Asheville, whero be will spend a good rart of his time during this month. He is the guest of Rev. Dr. Buel at Raven- scroit. Pack Down the Dirt. We ask the attention of the gentlemen managing the digging r,f the trenches for the gai pipes to the condition in which they are left after the pipes are laid. Besides the ugly ridges which are left the dirt is put back so loosely that in wet weather such as we have just had it is almost dangerous to drive a horse or a vehicle upon them. A wagon loaded with wood passing down Merrimon Av enue yesterday was driven upon one of these ridges and the horse and wagon mired up so that the load had to be token off, and it was with difficulty the horse and empty wagon could be gotten out. We hope this will be remedied. Go from Home td Learn News. We have caught up with the follow icg little fugitive among our exchanges : "The bitterness against the Mormons in Buncombe, N. C . took shape Thursday, when a Baptist preacher natied Milliard, armed with, aa axe, drove three of the Saints out of that Beet. on, and without allowing them time to procure this eiiecn followed them over the State line." This is tha first we have heard of their special effort in enforcing morality. We wish to remark, however, that there would be no such bitterness to the work of the Saints as is indicated in the above, ior we are very sure the eldeit! could not influence any in this section who could and would not leave this country for its good. They would be welcome to all such t itheyjcould carry away. Scrape the Streets now. Tho city authorities should at once have the mud on the principal streets scraped into piles and when i:ry hauled off. If this is done we will not hereafter be stifled with dust cr buried in mud. Nothing will add so much to the comfort and pleasure of our citizens as the cany ing out of this suggestion. The cost will rot be great the benefit immeasurable. After the sun came out yesterday the mud on Patton Avenue and Main street was very oflensive. These thorough fires should at ler :t be scraped at once, before the mud gets f x dry. It would make excellent manure, and every gar dener nr farmer near by would do his land a serviro by putting this mud, impregna ted as it is, upon their soil. But at all events we ask the attention of the auth orities to this matter. The offensive smell yesterday was the subject of much complaint by business men and others, and if it is not removed, may prove high ly detrimental. The Meeting of' the Druggists Board of Examiners. To day the Druggists of North Caro lina, or a very large number of them.will meet in their annual CDnvention in this city, to consult upon matters of interest to druggists. At least to-day is the ap pointed time for the meeting, but unless the eastern members come by way of Spartanburg they will not reach here to day or before late this evening, being de tained yesterday at Salisbnr by the breakages iu tho road west oi that city. Between seventy-five and one hundred of them are expected, and it is hoped a fall representation will be in attendance, and we trusi that cverv one mat' fully enjoy himself whil- here. Our local druggists, we know, wiM spare no efforts to render thj visits of their brethren most agreeable. There will also meet this week the Board of Examiners of the State Phar maceutical Association, for tho examina tion of applicants for license to dispense drills and compound prescriptions. The gentlemen are mos! hea:tily wel comed to Asheville, and we tnut every one will make himself entirely at home while with us.

We.acknowledge the receipt from Rev. Dr. R. N.

We wi'l begin the pub lication in a day or two, and know his former colleagues will appreciate and enjoy this kindly and interost ing work concerning themselves at a time that tired their souls. . Some Can While Home Can't. The Stateeviile Landmark says : "The experience of most of the pro gressive communities in North Caro lina in the last two t r three years with regard to 1 cal improver ents, such as water-works and electric lights, seems to have bt en about flilfl- tVint. tbif linva fi-orl.-rl nttiM they got them and havo been spend ing all their lime since in swearing because they have been swindled in them Statesville can afford to wait' awhile." Asheville's public impioyements have been worth hundreds of thou1 sands of doil.irs to the place in the past twelve months. Asheyille is one of the places that cannot wait, and she keeps. growing, too. A White Eat as a Medium of Com munication. We have known that carrier pig eons were useful as agencies of com munication, even lovers using them to a great purpose. But, by all that is good, wt- must avow we nevn er hear.: of a rat being resorted to for such a purpose until now, and a white rat at that. Last week a white rat was caught l3' a n.ember of the family of Mr. E. 1 . Browi., and after advertising the little rho dent, and no one calling for it, a young gentleman not a thousand miles irom .bawytr s store, nicely caged him and exposed Jiim to Morristown, lenn. W hat a tale ot love this unique messenger is ex pected to tell the Lord, the rat and the sender, and possibly one other. only can tell; but regaruless of any tale ot another, he certainly car ried away with him a vey well de veloped tail of his own .

A Times spe cial from Tuscolusa says that Mrs. Fannie Hoyne was gored and tram pled to death by a mad bull yester day while attempting to drive the brute out ot the yard.

Red Riping Hood. Notwiths'anding tho very inclement weather the above charming operetta was presented to very fair audiences, and its rendition was very highly credit able to the young ladies and gentlemen, specially so to Miss Emma Pond who arranged and superintended the whole matter. Miss Pond is a vocal teacher of distinction, and has conducted a school of vocal music in Raleigh the past year or two with flattering success. Her suc cess in training the boys and irirls. some sixty-odd, shows capacity and talent of a nign order, hhe, and her pupils, meri ted richly the applause thev received at each performance. lhe following is the cast of the charac ters on the first evening : lied Riding liooc', Mis3Nauaie Wew- er; Roy, Master Francis Gudg.-r; Butter cup, Miss Rosa McBee; Grandma, Miss Bessie Richards; Rose, Miss Daisy Saw yer; Mamma, M ias Louise Wilson; Violet, Mies liva Branch; 'Vood man, Mr. 1.

Yesterday evening a number of gentlemen proceeded to the resi- 'dence cf County Superintendent of Education John W. Starnes on an important mission. It was a delega tion who represented the school teachers of Buncombft county, and they carried with them an elegant gold-headed cane, one of Air. II. L. Lang's best selections, which was purchased by the teachers to be pre sented to Mr. Starnes as a slight testimonial of the high esteem in which he is held by them. Rev. Dr. Carroll, representing the teach ers, presented the cane in a short but very happy speech. Mr. Starnes was t;iken entirely by surprise, but accepted the handsome gift with evident feeling, but very gracefully. The uane is of handsome ebony, heavily ortryprl goUl hef-d, with lhe inscription: '"Suptrinteiident John W. Stai nes : From the Teach ers of Buncombe county, 1SS7." It was a handsome testimonial, well bestowed, gratefully received. We congratulate all parties "to tlip pleasant affair. Messrs. Seauury and Johnson Thrir Elegant Exuvcit. The exhibit of Messr;.
