Mr.W. A. Dills of Webster Sta
tion called to see us yesterday. His
little town is one ot the creations of
the railroad, and though not grow
ing rapidly, is improving steadily
and substantially. It has its church
and school house, its stores and its
work shops, its steam saw mill and
its large lumber business; and more
over its hotel with a table as boun
tiful and luxurious as appetite could
exact. Near the hotel is a mineral
spring destined to become famous.
Mr. Dills is haying an analysis made
in Baltimore, and will soon give us
the results.

Happy Greetings
'Awaited the return of Mr. N. A.
Reynolds, "who reached here on
Sunday evening with his fair bride.
The two were made one on the 27th
of August, in Sedalia, Ind. The
bride was Miss Blanche McCrury.
After the marriage the parties en
joyed a b-ief tour and then came
to the home of the groom, where
hosts of friends welcomed them and
showered upon them cordial wishes
for lonrr years of happiness and

his wife and daOphter. It is epo--kea

spects, with fine execution, fine "se
lection?, and with vocal and instru
mental features alike excellent.
These nervices are to be repeated
at the fame place at the usual hour
of evening service tosinght and to
morrow night.
Mr. John Jordan,
Who hae been traveling fcr the
past two and a half months in the
interest of the house of C. E. Gra
ham & Co. returned yesterday. His
trip has been an extended one
through the central part of this
State, and he reports the crops as
generally superior, and giving prom
ise of effective relief from the pres
ent monetary depression, tie savs
not more than one-fourth of the usu
al amount of fertilizers has been
used, consequently the outgo of
money will be less, and with the
abundant provision crop, those of
cotton and tobacco will be almost
nctt.
From Knoxville to Murphy.
Capt. Jas. W. Cooper, who called
to see us yesterday on his return
from Knoxville, informs us that it
appears to be definitely settled that
the Knoxville Southern will make
its connection with the North Geor
gia and Marietta at Murphy. This
is as it should be; for we cannot im
agine that Knoxville, in its active
and manly rivalry for business,
would lose the hold it would un
doubtedly have upon the products
of Cherokee and Clay counties in
this State, and towns and other rich
counties in Northern Georgia. We
regard the Murphy terminus at set
tleb. i
Another Dog Story.
Mr. W. A. Dills tells us another,
not of sagacity but of affection
Mr. Hudson Coward, of Jackson
county, had a little daughter about
eight years cf age. There was on
the premises an ill 'natured young
dog, intractable cross and vicious, of
whom every one was afraid. The
dog resented all approaches to fan
miliarity by any of the family. The
little girl above mentioned at last
won his heart, and his attachment
became intense. He was at her
side at all times and watched her
every look with fond anxiety. She
was taken sick with her fatal ill
ness. The dog lay at the door con
tinually watching earnestly every
sign from within. The child died,
and was borne to the graye. The
dog followed the sad procession,
loojced down into the deep and
dark .resting place, whined piti
fully, and moved around in de
spairing agony as the earth was
heaped upon her whom he bad
loved so well ; and the friends of the
child turned for their homes, the
dog took his place upon the grave,
and never again left it He could
not be coaxed nor driven away, re
fused all food, and in a few days
died of grief and starvation.
Library Notice.
Eaitort Citizen : The many, friends of
the Asheville Library will be pleased to
learn that is now able to make an order
for new books, which have been so long
and so badly needed. ,
For this we most sincerely thank the
kind ladies who helped through the re
cent Bazaar.
A committee-of Misses Penniman and
Patton have undertaken to make this
order, and they request any person who
wisnes any special book to suggest it to
them, by means of a note left at the
Library this week. All such suggestions
will be carefully considered, and if pos

Metsrsi Editor ."Thinking -1 might
interest some of the" loader's of your
paper, especially in the smalt towns and
mountain gorges West and South of here.
I will ask but a small space tpriefly give
an account of a trip late-nade through
the mountains." About two months since
my wile and I started by 'private convey
ance, going first to Brevard and visiting
piaces of interest in and about the place,
and as far as South as .Osar's Head,
looking particularly at the fins lands on
French Broad River and tributaries' and
almost everywhere finding excellent
crops of corn. oats. &c and yet occasion- '
ally meeting with acroaker, complaining
first of drouth and then pf wet weather;
and like the restless ot ean, never satis
fied. Brevard seems t.t-orued ... to dis
appointment, on all sides.. Kail road pro
jects trampled iai the 3t, and river
navigation thes far p " jjailure, but
I Lrtly be.ievTf y very far
libe
Buccessiuuy navigated iroru cuiapiace to
Brevard; and if I were a citizen of that
place or county I.Bhould earnestly strive
for its'speedy consummation. What the
peeple of Transylvania need is hearty co
operation and .union ''in which there is
strength" I say, for the present, the best
policy is to drop and discard alLrailroad
notions, and go heart and Hand for
navigation, and myjioaest con viction is,
that with united,.ffdrt it would" prove a
success and lift tnewliole CDUnty- from
the slough of Cdespond. - Cheerless
neighbors, there is a bright and good
time com inc.
From Breyard we went up through the
French Broad Valley tc Hogback where
we tarried with Mrs. Goldsmith, wife of
our popular Silver and Goldsrnhh, formerly
with Mr. Cowan. Hfri I Van inrinrwl
to wet the hook and try my iv, ck for trout,
and in two hours I caught live that would
have weighed five poucds; but ye lovers
of the sport, let me tell jou, I was in the
ring and knew exactly' where to fish
Leaving Hoeback, we vent on to Cash
ier's Vallev wheie, though disappointed
in the general appearame o'f the country,
C I - 1 r- , i . . .. ,
oi wlucii a iihu urawn 111 imagination too
beautiful a picture, yet sd delighted were
we that we tarried several days, stopping
with a jovial gentleman,; Eiley Hooper;
and let me advise my dyspeptic friends
if you want to lorget your miserable
stomachs for awhile, go to Riley Hoop
er s, ana De sure to get Kiiey to hoop you
before he commences his jokes, for if
yoa dont, you will have no buttons left.
Riley can depend on' itoy vote. From
Hooper's we went to Highlands where
we were so foitunate as to obta'n board
with Mrs. Davis; and let me here eav if
any or my readers go to Highlands, dont
try to better Mrs. Davis, for you will fail
if you undertake it. Her house la kept
as neat as a pin,- .and I her table always
laden with the very best No better
cooking can be found in the State, and
such potatoes; Nova Scotia cannot ecel or
even equal. They have the finest and
most delicious flavor, I suppose on ac
count of the peculiar climate of these
mountains. . Highlands came up to my
expectations. It is a pretty little town
with broad streets and cozy, naat cottages,
built for convenience acid opf jt, most
ly settled by Northern and Western peo
ple that know how to work and are not
ashamed to do it, and presents to a
stranger at nrst sight the appearance of
thrift, and cleanliness. The soil m this
part of the county is generally poor, but
seems well adapted to grass, small grain
crops and fruits. As much ns I love
.Asheville and her mountain scenery, I
am constrained to admit that the scenery
here and hereabouts, easy of access, sur
passes anything I ever behtld. I went
with a part' on Satulah only one .mile
distant from town, aud such a scene as
was spread out before me I can find no
wordsadenuate to express, transcendantlv '
grand and sublime, causing one to foe' as
f in the immediate presence of the Great
I am. The man whose soul is not stirred
to its very depths at such a sight and is
not led up through nature to n iture's
God is oniv fit for "treason, stratagems
and spoils,." Near Highlands cluster the
greatest variety of wild mountain scen
ery, water fells, cascades, &c. I cannot
leave this Bubject without returning my
thanks to many citizens whose acquain
tance it was my pleasure to make, and
whose kindness and attention I shall not
soon forget, and must, make personal
mention of that whole soul, bit: hearted
man, S. T. Kelsey, the founderand build
er ef this town, and to whom Highlands
is deeply indebted for its present thuft
and solid growth. Mr. Kelsey is a man
between fifty and sixty years of age, his
head showing the frosts of many winters,
but his spirits as buoyant as a boy. and
his energy and patience know no bounds.
Morning, noon and night you will nnd
him always ready to do you a favor anJ
to make Btrangers . feel at home; self-
sacrificing, obliging, kind and social.
May Highlands never-bo deprived of his
citizenship, until the Master caUs for
him, and may he eo down to his grave
"as a shock of corn in its season," fully
ripe and in the enjoyment of his bright
est hopes and anticipations oi his beauti
ful town. -" -
But I am reminded that 6nace in vour
widely circulated paper is valuable, and I
must be brief, omitting much I would
like to say. r From Highlands we went to
Franklin about which 1 cannot write ex
cept to say it is the tine qxia non. Next
we went to Hayesville, Clay county.
passing over Nantahala and Tusquittee
mountains and up the vaiiey ot xusquit
tee river, which is charming indeed, and
in which crops of corn, grass and small j
grain are abundant. Hayesville is beau
tiful for situation, tne joy oi tne wnoie
country, in no direction can you look
without haying Deiore ou a grana pan
orama, ot mountain and valley Bcenery.
The lands of Clay county are good, easily
tilled and producuve, always returning
to the farmers a quid pro quo for labor
exuended. Her citizens are generally
intelligent, kind, attentive to strangers,
and hospitable to their own hurt. I found
in ! lvevuie a large ana wen conauciea
school", good church privileges, well
appreciated by her law abiding and quiet
citizens. Good Sunday Schools well
attended by both young and old. I have
never met a more Kina ana ciever people
in my life; and if they had a little more
push and town pride might make Hayes
ville a lovelv and very desirable place of
residence. With town incorporated .if
not already done) side-walks and streets
fixed np, hogi excluded that now wallow
about the. streets, and which would be
positively unendurable but for Buster"
who seems to hate them as much as t do,
Havesville would catch and hold many
visitors that now pass through for other
points, and lixe Asneviue lajtor insulat
ing such measures) would soon awake
from her lethargic slumber, and blossom
as the rose. I hope to visit Hayesville
again land have tae pleasure of social
intercourse With her good citizens .

The Purchase of the Military .Acad
emy
For the pnrposes of the Graded School
is a transaction of which wo as well as
other judieious citizens will highly ap
prove. A place respectable and ample
for its purposes is provided without the
alternative resort to hedge-iows.
But it was not our.purpose so much to
speak of the purchase as to speak of the
publicity given to the transaction in the
columns of the Advance ; not by way of
complaint, bat of explanation. We were
in possession of the facts ok Thursday
last. " AS late as half-past siTo'clotk Sat
urday evening we were accosted by a
principal party to the transaction with
the information thatthe affair was prob
ably consummated.but with the renewed
request that we would not give it to the
public untif authorized to do so. Of
course we said nothing about it.

tee of the Graded School would be per
fected, and fearing premature publicity,
I requested you not to sav anvlbinu
about the matter in your paper. jut at
me opening ot my school, it was a de l
cat matter, as it un'aht mislead the uub-
lie in regard to our intentions U'e, the
owners of the A. M. Academy, return
thanks for your compliance with my re
quest and ask of ou now to give te
the public the proper view of the matter
as personally explained to you.
Very truly yours,
S. F. Venable.
Oar response to the ahoye will be very
brief. Ve understood, in listening to
the proposition to purchase his lease of
the Academy buildings, which was for a
term of ninety-nine years, that Prof.
Venable believed that his assent to the
proposition would be in deference to the
original liberal sentiment which provid
ed the grounds and buildings for the ed
ucation of the youth of Asheville. With
the growth of the place, the number to
be provided for had greatly increased.
anu rroi. v. was ready to yield to this
public need with readiness. He did so.
after arrangements had been perfected
which would secure him not only against
present losses, hut would give him time
to prepare, before the Academy proper
was turned over to the uses of the Graded
School, for the continuation of his own
institution iu buildings yet to be erected.
His reasons for avoiding prematurity in
the publicity of the transaction was the
possibility of injury to his private inter
ests by the apparent immediate transfer'
of the present Academy to other hands,
before he was prepared to continue it
elsewhere and in continuity. Until all
arrangements were perfected it was not
prudent to suggest the idea of. even a
temporary suspension of his present
work.
Since the transaction is now public, it
is as well to say that there will be no in
terruption, in the present locality, of the
exercises of the Academy, the Graded
School authorities stipulating for Prof.
Venable's possession of the Academy
until his school buildings on his own
premises are finished.
Quantity in medicine is no indication
of value. Ayer's Sarsaparilla is concen
trated and powerful; requires a smaller'
dose, and is more effective, dose for dose,
than any other Sarsaparilla. It is the
best of all blood medicines. t9
