It never was so good at this season of the year, and the indications are that the Fall and Winter trade will be unprecedented.

Let everybody, specialty the ladies, be out to see the President and his beautiful wife. The Speur's estate have begun the foundation of three fine four-story stores, 26 by 137 each, on Patton Avenue on the lots recenth' pur chased from Mr. William John ston. Messrs. W. T. and N. A.

That our townsman Mr. W. G.

It was an enlargement of a photo graph ot Mr. B. Mr. B's letter is very complimentary, and the work pleased one of his frieuds so much that he sent Mr. R. his own photo graph with an order for its enlarge ment, and also stated that in a lew days several more will be sent. This of course is gratifying to Mr. R. and will be to his friend in the city who esteem him and his talent so highly. flir.

Kepler, PrejWi Board of Trade,-Ashetnue, i'- A My Dear Sir: TW President has received your letter; of th 26th inst., , conveying the inyitation of the Board of Trade and the mu nicipal authorities of Asheville to visit that city on his way home from Atlanta. In reply he directs me to say that the plans made tor his trip and now unalterable, will permit a stop at Asheville of only fifteen minutes in the morning of Friday October 21st. He will be glad to avail himself of this time to see something of your oUy and its population, and begs to suggest that all formal ceremonies of welcome be waived, and that the time bs devoted to a carnage, ride through some of the streets of your city ; an arrangement which would be quite agreeable to him, and he thinks much more satisfactory to the people. Conveying to you the President s thanks for your cordial invitation and the expressions of confidence and good will which you are pleasSd to make, 1 am, very sincerely yours, Signed Dan'l S. Lamont. Private Secretary. Col. Lamont also writes to Hon. Thos. D. Johnston, as follows : My Dear Mr. Johnston: The Pres ident haj received your letter of the 26th inst., and also a formal invita tion from Mr. Kepler, President of the Asheville Board of Trade, to which a sort of conditional accept tance has been made. The stay of the President at Ashe ville, which place is likely- to be reached about 10 o'clock Friday morning October 21st, cannot ex ceed fifteen minutes. I suggest that the most satislactory way to occupy this time is to abandon all proposed speech making, however brief, and instead have open carriages at the station on the arrival of the train and drive the party through your city, returning to the train within the time named. Fifteen minutes occupi d in this way will give the President an idea of your city and fill enable all your people to eeeyim and Mrs. Cleveland. The CBe of his stay cannot possibly bextended. Very smcereiy yours, Signed. D?S. Lamont, Private Secretary.

A representative of the Cmzis drop p. d in yesterday at that attractive and tasteful establish mnr.t Turner & Brown eon's Cafe and h 'd a talk with Mr. Turner i . "What ah nt these high prices which rumor says you i-lmrc ? ' asked t'e re porte , Well, I am glad you suggested the suiiji-ct," said that well l nown catee:. "I have beeu wanting to uive a newspaper man some points on that subject tor some time. Sit down and I'll give yon some details which 1 think the jnblic should know. There has been much said abo-.t our high prices, but there iB one thinjr that I ao certain of.and that is that the prii; s .e cliare are less than anv Miiiilur rgiabli Linen, thai .1 -ver saw and-! hfni'f.ly bulieve lower than cav-Jio tuuU tanywbecH Jff- first, class restaurant."

'" i.el a '.Lin no into a first ciins res taurani," siiti he, ''in any city of any size or pruleiiHiotis aud ask for a medium Porter House stea i and of course it is 50 cents or at least 40 cent?. And then con sider what the relative cost is. Here we pay for choice steak sometimes as high as 22 cents ptr pound. There are few places where it costs more. Then a family porter house steak would cost you elsewhere in a similar establishment 75 cents or $1 00. We have never charged higher than 60 cents. Chops, veal cut.ets or o her in ats broiled are e sewhere in c.ties 35 cents, while we never charge but 25 cents. Broiled spring chick', n is put down at 75 cents and 1.00. Our price is 40 cents. Turkey at ordinary city prices 40 cents and diick 30 cents where we charge for the former 25 cents and the latter 20 cents. Quails on toast are 50 cents and our price just ha f that, with pheasants $1.50 elsewhere and our house only asks 75 cents. Oysters broil ed tire put down at 75 cents, while we furnish them at 50 cents, and so it is all the way through the bill of fare. Vege tables and every thing at two-thirds or one-half of what is elsewhere paid. Now coffee for instance we only charge 5 cents a cup with a meal." ' What coffee do you buy?" the re porter got a chance to ask. " None but' the best. Mocha and Java are what w ure. Eyery merchant in the city from whom' we " have ever bought any thing will testily that we buy only t!:e b st ot every thing." ' Are there not .-ouu things yon fur nish tree while you are doing all this charging," was asked. " Yes, Celery and bread and butter, and you will ficd few places where Cel ery is n t ext a at a restaurant. No relishes are ever charged f :r." "Do you keep regular boarders?" queried ihe news ga herer. "I do not for the reason tt.at we can not furnish meals at $12 or $15 per month. Every patron at each meal is in tne nature of a transient customer. We do not compete with boarding houses, but endeavor to supply a need eupplementary to their. At a boarding house certain hours and regularities are observed and requited. With ua it is entirely different. A patron expects to be served and is served at any hour between 6 in the morning and 11 o'clock at night We have had legular table boarders at $25 per month, but can state positively t at we lost money at those figures, in manv instances the raw material costing twice what we got for it properly served." What are you now paying for meats ?" questioned the scribe. l can saieiy say tnat we nave paid the highest prices ever pa'd here for beef, and the market uen wil. bear us out in th 3 statement." Have the fluctuations of the mar ket ever increased your prices ? " " Not at all. Uui prices have remain ed uniform no matter how high country produce sells. What is said by transient customers in regard to prices you charged?" Men who are accustomed to city life have often expressed themselves surpris ed at the low rates we charge," was the reply. " Where do your suppl es chienv come from?" From the merchants of the citv we buy all our groceries. From those who handle produce we ma- e purchases in that line. Our fish we get on ice from Charleston and ' ur oysters from Norfolk." " Do you ever lose any fish or oysters?" "Yes," often last winter, during warm days, when there was no ice to be had oysters spoiled, as ihey sometimes have done for lack of de and. In summer too we often lose meats in the eame way; and on one occasion we lost $13 worth of Celery last winttr, as it was frozen en route, bometimes we have a perpetual rush and then again there is a lull, but our supplies must b 3 on hands rush or no rush and hence the loss. In a large city it is different where a stream of patrons pours in trom morning until night. There too the same food is sent back twice or oftener to the table whilf with us such is never the case." D i you mind your gcesta going mto your kitchen? " " No sir, they are coraially invited to inspect it at any and all times, and they will never find any thing to criticise." Can t vou reduce pi ices and get more custom ? " " That is impracticable, since the ex penses of the establishment are so heavy and oar efforts are constantly to maintain its c!ums as hrst class in every respect." "Do you have only one dining room ?" "We have four. One general dining room, one custom dining room, one for ladies exclusively, and one private dining room. "Then look for a moment at our expen ses. The cooking range and the charcoal bi oiler must be kept going all the while dav and night, The chief cook, his assist ant, dish-man, pastry man and waiters, all busy tpserve one man. House rent, f 6o p- fnontk, electric and incandescent lights $2 e, servants, i20, cnarcoal, i2, water, $2.50, insurance, repairs, wear and tear and other expenses, to amount to about $350 per month. "Is your establishment modern in all its fixtures ?" . ' Well, to illustrate: Every door and window is protected from flies by wire screens and the first pioneer of this kind is yet to press his way into dishes not pre pared for him. We pride ourselves on the elegance of our dishes, our silverware and table furniture generally and the absolute I cleanliness ot all. None of the odors f rom zen PRICE 5 CENTS the kitchen ever offend the most penetra ting and delicate senses." "Have you done well in your new place r" "We have not There seems to be a lack of universal appreciation in the city, and other drawbacks I could mention. Cheaper service seems in demand, when a big meal may be gotten for a quarter of a dollar." You did well last winter, did you not ?" "Splendidly. But my success was at tributable largely to the wealth) tourists who patronized me, and only partially to my local custom. "Do you expect this fall and winter that local custom will run your place f " "No, indeed. I bank largely on the tr insient patronage of the season. The fact is, a city of only eight thousand inhab itants cannot be expected to support fully an establishment like ours, especially in a city of homes where nearly everybody 'lives at home and boards at the same place.' But even among the people in the city the best able to patronize such a house there have been but a limited number of ladies and gentlemen . who seemed to take local pride in a place like ours, and give some of that substantial 'jencourage- iiicHt to our busiiiXTis, which is jiiven onW when the current medium cha V'- hands. i have known wealthy people he.-e to buy an interior grace of oysters and other deli cacies in order to save a nickel." "Among what clasi of citizens do you reckon your best and most regular custo mers f" "Lawyers, physicians, professional men generally, tobacco men and a very few- merchants, tho we have v.ucli patronized these last mentioned." 'You charge extra for the private dining room, do you ?" "Not at all. In no instance do we make any additional charges, tho' it is no small souree of expense." 'Do you get any custom from the sub urban towns ?" "O yes and a very nice and highly ap preciated custom it is." "Do you get much patronage from the country ?" "jot so much as formerly, this part ot the trade is usually in want of a 'square meal for 25 cents' or 'a 10 cent snack.' To see a bill of fare is sufficient cause for not coming back." 'Do you easily had servants to suit you r ' No, indeed. We are given much trouble en thot score. Cooks and waiters require much training before they are able to plSase our customers. We always request our guests to inform us promptly of any lack of efficiency or politeness on the part of servants, as also we would feel obliged to have our attention called to any error or overcharge or anything of the sort, as such things unavoidably occur sometimes." Do you find your patrons universally patient and reasonable ?" As a general rule they are so, but occa sionally an individual drops in, calls for some delicacy, and if wc haven't it he leaves disappointed anc', displeased, not reflecting that he only drops m once a month or such a matter, and to be prepared for his particular order all this while with no special demand is more than a reason able man ought to expect." ' What are your prospects for the fall and winter season ?" Well, we can scarcely tell yet. But we propose to keep our place first-class in every particular and to furnish every pos sible delicacy for which there is a demand. we lnakc a specialty of furnishing snorters for parties, for banquets and such occa sions, and have had considerable patron age of that sort. We will always hold our selves in readiness to serve the public to the best of our ability, and will spare no pains or expense to please all who, with this patronage, will aid us in building up an establishment which hopes to be a credit to the city." Sudden Death, Our community was greatly shocked yesterday morning at the announcement that Mrs. Fannie Gudger, wife of James M. Gudger E.-q , wa3 dead. It was known that she had been sdck for some time. but no idea was entertained that her illness was serious or immedii ately threatening. And what adds to the sorrow of all, and greatly to the distress of Mr. Gudger, was that Mr. G. was absent at the time of the sad occurrence having been in :itu:idance upon Yancey court and readied home a few hours after his wife ceased to live, not knowing of the terrible calamity until he en tered the house. It i indeed a verv sad affliction, aud the many friends of the tami y throughout Western Carolina a d Eust Tennes see will hear of it with unfeigned sorrow. Mrs. Gudger was the daughter of Rev. Mr. Pattv, formerly ot East Tennesse, now of Oregon. Besides her husband, she le.ives Beveral children. Her funeral will take place ut the M. E. Church South this evening at 3 o'clock, Dr. Bays officiating. Tae interment will take place at Itiverside Cemetery.
