Respectfully, W. A. Wobsuam." We always comply with such re quests so far as we can, certainly so tar as sending Citizen is concerned, and in this way, we send out hun dreds and thousands of copies an nually, at our own expense. We publish this to request all parties who have matter giving desired in formation to send the same to Mr. Worsham. The Warm Springs Colony. Soon after the Northern people found confidence enough in the South to invest some of the civi gains of the war in Southern prop erties, an enterprise was inaugu rated to purchase tiie property of the Warm Spri-gs, then owned by Col. J. H. Rumbough. It was a magnificent property in fact md in possibility. The Springs 1 ad been known for a century for their cura live properties, and might be made a health resort notably throughout the whole Union. There was a beautiful location for a town, which might be the reat of manufacturing, for all around it was the finest of timber, iron ore in profusion, vast deposits of baryta, and Spring Creek offered the finest of water power. So the colony was formed; and at the session of 1S70-1, Mr. Kelsey thon thf member in the House. from Mauison, obtained a, chav4!;H creating tne w arm cprings voiony. We are not at liberty to name the price agreed to be paid to Col. Rumbough. It is sufficient to say that only half was paid; and alter litigation, prolonged in the courts, the colonists surrendered their rights and dispersed, some going back home, others remaining in this State. Very little was done to de velop Warm Springs, and its subsequent importance is due altogether to other inllucnces. Among the colonists who re mained we find the following: Mr. P. Sisai, of New York, who is a suc cessful farmer in Madison, jiear the Tennessee line; Mr. Stackhouse, of Pennsylvania, who lives at that notable bend on the French Broad , just above the mouth of Laurel, and has made improvements tnat gave a name and character to "Stackhouse," Mr. VVorthen, now of Bakersville, once editor of a Bakersville paper; Mr. lsulgiu, ot New Jersey, now a successful architect ot.'anklin; Mr. Elliot, President of the Company, was from Massachusetts, and Mr. Fenlon from New York, was Vice President. We do not know where they are. Of others Mr. Salisbury is known to us, now Hying at Old Fort. Mr. Boardman and Mr. Gird woodjare residents of Aslieville; Mr. Sherman and Mr. Fisher liye in Western North Carolina; and there ars others we cannot account for. The Warm Springs "Colony died, as many enterprises looking to tas vas the South b storoi did; but it had the effect of leaving among us many good and useful citizens.

C , Aufr 4, 1887. Capt. Natt Alkiruon. ' Dear Sir : It is iny pleasure to express throngh you (tne farmers' friend) to the far .ners of Buncombe count y, my gratifica tion and high appreciation oft? -e surpris ing and unlookpd for exhibit of small grain and grasses displayed at the Far mer's Warehouso in this city .to-day. I had for some weeks noticed in the papers your offering of premiums, therefore was anticipating the exhibit and was anxious (as a new corner to Asheville) lo Bee what Buncombe and sister counties could do in that particular line of products. My anticipations were more man realiz ed. I was agreeably surprised to see the variety and quality of small grain and grasses, creditable lor any section ot country. - I have attended tairs in almoat every Sta'e from Maine to Mexico, and have visited many small grain and grass pro ducing sections of the United States, but have never before seen so hne a display There can be no further questioning as lo whether tlr mountain counties of tion of small grain and grasses. The question is to-day settled to the satisfac tion of every spectator, and it is Question able if any section of country can surpass it- Jitlort m the right direction is all that is necessary to develone Buncombe and surrounding counties into one of the nnest grass producing regions m the world. Old Ireland not excepted. I am reliably informed ( hat C'ovtr, Timothy, Orchard gra-'s and Red Top cm be jirown successfully and profitably from the creeks and branch banks to the base and up the hill and mountain sides and to the top of the highest mountain peaks in Buncombe county; the soil being good clay and produces well, and the climate is iavorable and peculiarly adapted to the culture and growth of grasses. It is only a question of time when this ia to be oue of the finest grazing and beef pro ducing regions ol the Middle States. Farmers should take courage from the exhibit of to-day, and determine to shape for the future that order uf things that will guarantee to them comfort, profit and pleasure. A revolution in farming in the mountain section is re (iiisite, and for the good ol all, must be etlected. The ball is in nut on, keep it moving with increased velocity until the creat good desired is attained, then there will go up from the hearts and lips of thous ands of farmers blessed, one united hurrah with expressions of thanks to the patriotic philanthropist and liberal mind ed mover in the good work, Natt Atkin son, who is fever willing and always fore most in the noble work of developing the resoiirccsof old Buncombeand surround ing counties. Let us look forward for u ten-fold dis play next season, and let us promise the good farmers more than ten fold the amount in premiums, that they may be stimulated to experminent - and -develop rapidly to the world that the mountain section of North Carolina is suited to the cultivation of grasses for profit, and that old Buncombe is the best place in the world to come to for well doing, pleasant climate, good health, long life, pleasure and happiness, and let it be under.-tood that Afcheville is the centre. . Tub Bakqj.'et to thk VieiTixo Druo- 4y evening wa.i a pleasant oc casion to our visiting friends, members of the N. C. Pharmaceutical Association. Thedocal drnggista entertained (hem at a handsome banquet at Battery Park, and all, members and invited guests, greatly enjoyed themselves.' The menu was of course elegant, as Mr. South wick provides no other. After this was fiV ished the plates were removed and the evening given up to toasts a id responses, all of which were, very excellent. The evening closed with three cheers f r the local secretary, Mr. w. C. Carmichael. The gentlemen all expressed themselves niorti than delighted with their visit and reception, and only regretted, as their friends here did, their stay here was necessarily so short. Most of them left yesterday for home ; all may be assured of the kindliest feelings of their profes sional brethren here, and of our commu nity. Close of thk Labors of thz Pharma- ctuTicAr.

RESPONSE OF MR. W. S. HANCOCK. OF NEWBERN, TO TIIE ADDRESS OF WELCOME 10 TIIE NORTH CAROLINA PHARMACEUTICAL ASSOCIATION. Col. Page: I have t e honor, on behalf of the North Carolina Pharmaceutical Association, to return to you. and thromzh vou. to the beautiful mountain city which yon rep resent our sincere thanks for this -tind und cordial reception. I know I speak the feelings of the entire association when I say th it we highly appreciate the words of welcome to which we have listened, and that we heartily congratul ate ourselves upon our good fortune in We have laid aside, for a While morter and pestle, the Graduate and spatula, and have come from tbe rolling blue ocean of the east, and from nearly every other section of this good Old North State, to the beautiful mountains ot the west, seeking relief from the labors and confinements incident to our vocation, and with an earnest desire to do what we can to advance the interest and the usefulness of our profession. We hope to lie inspired from what we have already seen in this progressive and prosperous city. On every hand we see evidences of a public spirit and a bold and a liberal enterprise, for which you should feel proud, and for which this community deserves the highest distinction. Asheville may fairly lay claim to the distinction of being the most attractive town in North Caroline. Other towns may have an older history, a larger population, greater accumulations .of wealth, or may be more accessible to the commercial highwaye of the world, but no other city anords so many laciuties for health, rest and recreation, or sl eds such a luminous light upon the pathway of the traveller. Leaving th 3 cares and responsibilities of home, in this sweet mountain air he ceases to dream of toil and oatbes himself in the profound pleas ure of a new existence. 1 he very hills speak to him of liberty, and the lofty peaks tell of an unbettered manhood, where all is spontaneous, energetic and free. To have built up such a beautiful town in the midst of such surroundings as these is to make yourselves the credi tors of the whole world. Visitors mav here renew the activities of their bodies and brains, and from your health-giving wins may take anew lease of life, fondly dreaming that in contribu tinj; to your prosperity and population they are paying you the debt which they owe. 15ut no contributions of treasure, indus try or influence can ever cancel the ben. lus which Asheville has c.uferred upon the thousands of this country. Your noble county. Has already, by her intellectual and patriotic sons, impressed heiaelf upon the people ot this State. For may years, whferever poll tical talent, professional Bkill or educa tional ability were honored, she was foremost among her sister counties as the But not content with this, she has opened a Garden of Eden, with the flam iDgcherubim removed, in the midtt of her hospitality and plenty, and invites tin universal intelligence acd culture of the earth to task in her welcome. C tri it be a wonder, that the hearts of all men turn to this town? Even the ancient Citv of "Elms," grown grey be fore these lofty hills ever drew the breath of life, has heard of your fame. Everywhere in North Ca?c Una the people of Ashevill are hounred and admired, everywhere your h spitality, public spirit and enterprise are mention ed in terms of praise. And I u iilbt not that our brethren and friends who are he.re. now on professional work and duty. will ar e with me fully in nayim; that your luineis well deserved, and will tarry awav a lasting remembrance of your noble character and deeds. AL'ain I return our heartfelt tlianks for this kind and h ispitable welcome and greeting Sturm Signals.
