His sausages are so good, that by his old
process, he could not meet the demand.

Mr. I.. J. Smith, of Jackson was in the

Mr. Robert Connelly, a Burke county

California, called on us yesterday. He
is on his way to visit his old home after
an absonce of eight years. He speaks
enthusiastically of California, and says
business is in better shape, and prosper

flourishing basis.
Mr. J. R. Cole brought us yesterday
samples of the Newport, Tenn., tobacco,
the reception of which at the Buncombe
Warehouse we note elsewhere- The
color is very good, though the sample is
a little damaged. Asheville is becoming
the market for East Tennessee tobacco,
the receipts here last season showing a
marked increase. The conditions Of that
section in soil and climate are not dis
similar to those of Madison county in
this State and the prospect is good for
increased area of culture by our Tennes
see menus, tiavmg found a market
here, close and convenient, they will
keep 5n this route.
Our North Carolina cities and towns
have made remarkable progress in water
supplies within the past few years. Wil
mington, Charlotte, Raleigh, Winston
Durham and Asheville are all provided
with systems more or less complete, and
supply more or less abundant ; and Golds
boro and perhaps some other towns are
making provision for similar work.
The oldest water works in the State
that have been in use continuously are
those ot rayettevilie. Tney date from
1S10 or 1817. The town is situated on a
plain about 80 feet above the level of the
Cape Rear river, and is margined on the
north and west by bold eanti "hills rising
from "5 to 90 feet above the town. On
the east face ot the west bills copioug
springs of pure cold water burst out, and
never diminish in volume, rneae are re
tained in larca reservoirs, originally,
perhaps now, encased in timber. The
water from these is conducted into and
distributed through the town in pine logs
bored through: and for seventv years
have furnished an unvaiying supply of
good drinking water. Uown tne princi
pal street they are made available lor
tire uses by passing through large wooden
cisterns.
About 1822 Raleigh adopted a system
somewhat similar, using Kocky Jirancn
as tue source of supply: but it was
short lived entorprize.

The first tierce of new .sco was re

The Goldsboro Argus says: "Hon. J.
H. Merrimon left for his home in Aehe

him, gave very general satisfaction to
the bar and the suitors.

Our friends, merchants and people,
throughout Western North Carolina will
be prepared to do large trading this fall
and winter. We wish to ask all to give
our Asheville market a trial. They will
find very extensive etocks of all kinds of
goods to select from, at the lowest prices,
and merchants who will treat them with
every fairness Cometo Asheville to do
your trading.
In noting the presence here of Mr.
Chas W. Moseley, representing the ex
tensive house of C. W. Thorne & Co., of
Richmond, Va., we must not be under
stood to state what might conflict with
the prerogatives of our old friend. Mr.
Robert R. Porter, also a representative
of the same house. The latter gentle
man controls without infringement upon
his rights the territory in which he has
been long working with so much favor
and success; and his North Carolina
friends may long welcome his periodical
visits. Mr. Moseley has the tsoutti t aro-
liua field with headquarters at Spartan
burg. The business of C. W. Thorne &
Co. is a very large one.
The coming Barbecue holds public in
terest without abatement. It is not be
cause a good and bountiful dinner is in
prospfct, though according to approved
diplomatic practice a well prepared din
ner holds its own as a powerful if not al
ways convincing argument in the hands
of the host In our case the host is the
public of Asheville, and in common with
the guests will hold rome differences of
opinion. The chief object therefore to be
attained is not theappeasingof hunger of
or satisfaction of appetite, but the coming
together in a good natured easy familiar
way, and with full stomachs and conten
ted" minds to discusB amicably and pleas
antly all the pros and cons of the weighty
subject. We Ire half inclined to think.
that however divergent views may be
when we all gather around the well laden
boards, after we bave talked together and
heard all the facts, figures and arguments
we will disperse all of one mind and with
strong resolve to have all four of those
rail roads. And this is the resolution we
should take unless we propose to put the
brakes upon the tram ot progress.
Church Dedication.
Oa Friday the handsome "new
church recently erected on Hominy,
on the lands of JoI. W. G. Candler,
and., we should say by the liberality
of that gentleman, will be dedicated

Tobacco planters in this section

was anticipated but a crop of finer
color and better body than for some
years past.

four miles North of Asheville, in
cluding Gouch's (or- Reynold's)
Mountain. These gentlemen will

raising. Mr. Cole, who ia an old
sheep and cattle raiser, says;this
section is one of the bes for such

shown his excellent judgment for
the Tausiness by selecting the above
farm; which is already largely - set
in grass and clover, oyer three hun
dred acres of which are now in fine
clover over a-half-ieg high. We
can congratulate as well as out sec
tion, believing this to be one of the
very best industries which can be
entered upon here. The right of

Death op Miss Ella Crum.
We learn with real sorrow that
this young lady died last evening
at the residence of Mr. R. R. Porter
whpse niece she was, after an illness
of perhaps ten days. She was a
natiye of Maysvillc, Ky, but late a
resident of Louisville. She had
been in Asheville about six weeks,
and had made many cordial friends
through the influence of gentle
manners, charms of person, and
fine musical attainments. Among
strangers she had become no longer
a stranger; and her sad unexpected
death will bedim many an eye with
the tears of genuine sorrow.
Two Companies After It.
An Anderson, S.C., correspondent
of the Charleston Sun writes:
Anderson, S. G.: Sept. 18. Capt.
Wallace, of the Louisville and Nash
ville Railroad,-was in the city Sat
urday on the company's tuainess.
He said that the Louisville & Nash
ville Co.. as we.l as the Cumberland
Valley and Urrflka, had a corps of
engineers on the route ot the old
Blue Ridge Railroad, that both of
these companies were trvingo get
control of the old road-bed for the
same' purpose an outlet through
the mountains to deep water, Both
have found the cut through Rabun
Gap the most practicable and both
are aiming for Charlestou or Savan
nah, with a preference for the for
mer port on account of better ex
isting and promised facilities. Both
are pleased with the connections
here and hope to be able to connect,
with the South Carolina Road either
at Augusta or at Columbia.
Both lines, when completed, will
run through Graham, Swain and
Macon counties.
Hickory Manufactories.
During a brief visit to Hickory
this.week we visited the works of the
Hickory Manufacturing Company
and the Piedmont Wagon Company,
the former under the management
of Mr. G. C. Bonniwell and the latter
under that of Mr. J. G. Hall. We
were pleased to see amount of work
being turned out by both these com
panies, the former employing thirty
or more hands, and lurnisning a
great deal of the inside work- of the
buildings now being erected in
Asheville. Everything in this estab
lishment wears a business appear
ance, and we are pleased to know
the company is meeting with the
success t,heir energy merits.
The Piedmont Wagon Company
was established in 1S82, but
has only pushed to its
present capacity within the last two
or three years. Under the manage
ment of Mr. J. G. Hall, it has at
tained proportions second to but
few in the South, and turns out au-
nually not less than 2,500 first class
wagons, the sale for which is found
in quite a numoer oi ooutnern
States. These wagons have already
gained an enviable reputation for
durability, lightness and neatness
of appearance, They are manu
factured entirely at the home shops,
out of the best material, and 100
men are employed in the different
departments.
Hickory has a right to be proud
of these establishments, and we hope
Asheville may emulate her enter
prise. See dissolution of the firm of C.
GCVVest & Co. It is succeeded by
a new firm under the name of the
Asheville Lumber and Manufactur
ing Company, the associ-ites of
which are Messrs J. F. Grant, W.
B. Marx and C. G. West. This
company designs woric on a luiiand
extensive scale in all branches
of lumber manufacture : and will
very soon erect new mill' omldings
equipped with the most complete
and varied machinery. It is an en
terprise that, from the experience
and character of the associated eren-
tlemen, will command public con
fidence. Thousands of women bless the day

The Willmington Review of the
19th says: A dastardly murder
was committed yesterday afernoon
about 3 o'clock, near Castle Hayne,
about nine miles North of the
city. Jim Wilbert, colored, and his
wife, who had been living in that
neighborhood, had a quarrel when
the man picked up the baby and
threw it out of the window and
then turned and caught his wife in
his arms and deliberately cut her
throat. Thinking that she was dead
he left the house. The woman man
aged to crawl to the house ot a
neighbor, about one hundred yards
off, and rapped for admittance.
When the door was opened a pitia
ble sight was presented to the in- -mates.
The woman tried to tell
what had happened but, could not.
utter a word, she could cnly movt
her lios. She ttatrtrrr-A t-.i.-lr K.. " "
ten feet and fell to the ground and
expired almost instantly. The child,
an infant about twelve months id,
was found by the neighbors where
it had been thrown from the win
dow.. It had fortunately escaped
serious injury. Mr. Asa A. .
Brown showed us to-day a specimen
of coal, taken from the land of Mrs.
Ellen Gtiion, in Bladen county,
where it outcrops, that we think
may be classed as cannel coal. ExV
actly how much there is of it is not
known but the evidences are that
theie is a large and valuable vein
of it' Specimens of it are to be sent .
to parties North and more in regard
to it will be known soon.
