We have in our office a very liandso . e
sample of tobacco cured in the "Modern
Tobacco Barn." One sample is from
"primings or bottom leaves" which under
he old process of curing are thrown
away or left on the stalk until dried and
blown away, in tiie Modern iiarn tnese
leaves are cured when ripe, and make
the btst quality of smokers, and add
about 50 per cent to the crop. Th ; recent
frost has done much damage to the crops
and the tobacco planter has no doubt
loBt heavily. By the use of the Modern
Tobacco Barn much of the loss would
have been avoided, as n ?arly if not at all
of the crop is cured before the possibility
of cold weather. The Modern Barn
cures only the leaves, (not the sta k) as
they ripen and while they are in a per
fect statu not kept on the stalk until over
ripe, with the hope that frost will not
come until tne greater portion ot the
leaves are ripe, the fanrer under the old
system lookd on anxiously fearing each
change of the weather Jack Frost may-
put in an appeatance and blight all hie
hopes, wmie tne owner ol a Modern
Barn can look with cool satisfaction on
the larce piles of handsome brieht to
bacco packed down ready for market, at
very much less cost of curing, and in
every instance a brighter and better
duality ol tobacco. Al. farmers wiio wish
te save their crops before frosts should
abandon the old leg barn and keep pace

THE PEESIDENT'SEECEPTION !
To be Driven Tlirongli Our
Principal Streets,
Ami to bo Shown the Glorious "Land
of the Sky 1"
At a meeting of the Board of Trade,
the city authorities and a goodly mimber
ot other citizens, held last night in the
Club rooms, the quest ion of the reception
of Piestdent Cleveland on the occasion of
his brief stop in Asheville on the 21st
inst. was considered. He will arrive in
Asheville about 10 o'clock in ttie morn
ing, and will be driven through oar prin
cipal streets, the purpose of our com
munity being to show him the greatest
fiossible reapect, , ,. -'.j..
Mr. Kepler, President of the Board of
Trade, explained the objects of the meet-
tng.
On motion of Capt. Breese, the fol
lowing resolution wai adopted :
Resolved, That a committee of ten be
appointed, with the President of the
Board of Trade as Chairman and his
Honor the Mayor as Vice Chairman,
paid Committee to be known as the
Committee of Arrangements and clothed
with authority to add to their number
and appoint sub committees of finance,
decoration, &c.
On motion of Mr. Stone, the committee
was authorizetl to invite the Governor
and other State officers and the two Sen
ators of the State to meet the President
at this point.
All questions of arrangement were
plared in the hinds of the Committee of
Arrangements, and we know everything
will be done to give the President a
pleasant ietea of our city and lo give our
people the largest opportunity of seeing
our distinguished visitor.
A Vr.itY Just and Timely Com-
I'LAIXT.
The Ilillsboro Recorder thus com
plains of a very serious evil :
"One of the great draw-backs iu
the way of poor people getting an etl
ncation, is what appears to be the
systematic effort on the part of some
body, we know not who, to continu
ally change the books used in the
schools. Almost every session a dif
ferent set of books has to be bought.
If the younger children could use the
same books as they come along, that
the older ones used, it would not
make so much difference ; but no,
they wont do, you must buy a new
set for every child they send to
school. This is heavy on a poor man
if he has lots of children, aud poor
men always do. Well, it may be
right, but we can't see it that way.
t-. , . , .
-oiomon saiu, "or maktuo: manv
books there Is no end.""' iolomou was
then thinking of our modern ichools.
We are aware that fashions change
rapidly, and we think that even new
fashion of ladies' hats and dresses
are pretty and becoming, but so much
change in childrens' school books is
not so fascinating."
And this complaint applies to pri
vate as well as public schools. One
reason for this evil lies in the fre
quent changes of teachers. It is
rarely the case now that one teacher
agrees with another as to a 83-sietii
of ij-.x'I-e, a ni new books and new
series of books are -introd'i d now
1 1 v eveiv etii. TtMdhers ley
i u. j t-i ii-ii to adopt something new,
inure bccati.-e it is tonn:thin new"
limn from real superiority ol tiie
boors, and parents, in a yery lai-e
majority of cases wc fear, are caught
by the idea and submit to it, im
pressed with tiie idea that because
it is new. it must lie better than th?
old books the fathers and mothers
used. We have been noticing some
of the methods as woii as books.
and with no special degree of satis
faction. Books which our parents
and grand parents were taught in,
and which required application to
master, are thrown aside. Methods
which made good scholars of them
are now considered not only useless,
but in some instances a "relic of
barbarism." Pupils are now taught
to read, in a mechanical
sort of way, before or without learn
ing the alphabet. The use of gram
mor is tabooed. In many instances
teachers think they have performed
their duties when they ascertain
whether the people has learned his
or her lessons at home. Teaching,
on the part of the teachers, is rap
idly becoming a thing of the past.
If we could see that, in genera, the
real attainments of scholars under
the present system were equal to
those under the old, we could be
satisfied with the new fangled meth
ods and systems of the present day.
But we dont. A smattering or su
perficial knowledge of a variety of
things is about all some of the boys
and girls are turned loose with now
adays, and if they learn more it
must be by this own efforts and ob
servation, mostly without aid of
judicious instruction. liod bless
the memory ol the old ways, for in
many respects they were better than
the new in this results in turning
out a more intelligent and useful
society.
Especial Attention
Is invited to the large array of popular
remedies to be found at remain's Phar
macy, near the post office. It is a rule
with this house to keep any thing that
is wanted in the drug line, provided it
has any merits. We adyise our friends
in the country that when in want of any
medicines to try Pelham's Drug Store.
lney nil physicians' prescriptions at low
pricee. The quality of their goods is un
excelled. They handle a full line ol
Sundries such as drug itorea usually
carry. Theirs is a complete assortment.
The fine October weather is upon
us. '
The nights are quite lovely now
for moon-light drives end pic-nics
and some of our young people are
enjoying them hugefy.
The citizens of Asheville may ex
pect a treat soon. The Thespians

Mr. Jackson Johnston, of Franklin,
was in the city on Sunday on his way
to attend the meeting of the Holston
Annual Conferences! A kngdon, Va.,

Mr. J. S. Patty, of Morristown,
Tenn., and Passenger Agent of the
Louisville & Nashville Railroad, is in
the city. He is a brother of the late
Mrs. J. M. Gudger, anel reacheil here
to attend her fuueral obsequies.
Mr. Jason Ash worth of Fair view,
who is a large dealer generally in
dried and evaporated fruits, princi
pally peaches, was in the ciiy yester
dav. He informs us, that owing to
the deficiency of the crop, his receipts
ot dried peaches so far have not ex
ceeded one thousand pounds.
The Xcwbern and Wilmington pa
pers both claim that the oysters are
better this season, than they' have
been for many years. We have to
take to their word for it ; for wc see
only Norfolk oysters here. But we
cannot complain of them: for as
fine are brought here as can ordinarily
be had in Norfolk. We would
be pleased to have the opportunity of
comparison.
We are glael to see so much inter
est manifested in the extension of the
Cape Fear and Tadkin Valley Road
to a North Carolina port as to have
originated animated rivalry between
Wilmington and the friends of More-
head City for the houor. We incline
to a preference for Wilmington, be
cause at Fa3etteville, the present ter
minus, it is only eighty miles to salt
water. But if Wilmington is- not ac
tive enough to secure the prize, yve
shall, so far from opposing the efforts
of Morehead City, encourage them.
for we wish to see a , North Carolina
road. Mich fls the Cajie Fear and Yad
kin Valley is emphavcSlly, terminate
at a North Caroling port instead of
being switched off, of which there is
danger, into South Carolina, and thus
open another drain upon our resources
anil inflict another wounel on btate
pride.
Honor to Mr. D. F. Caldwell.
We want to congratulate our Uncle
Frank Caldwell, of Greensboro. We
knoyv he is happy. He is happy be
cause of the success of an enterprise
he has been working for years. For
several sessions he endeavored to re
ceive the passage of a general charter
for savings banks in this State, for
the hour-fit of the workingmen of the
State. Last winter Senator Murrow
introduced Mr. Caldwell s bill, fen
this purpose, and it was enacted into
law. Under" it a savings bank has
been established in Greensboro, and
though only open for business some
two and a-half months it has proven a
grand success, and of great utility
and bene lit to the poor people, not
only as a safeiy institution but in its
aid to them by safely secured loans.
Mr. Caltlv.-oll deserves the thanks of
his people, and the people of the State
who have the privilege of using that
charter, for his persistent efforts in
this matter.

Of six Pianos recently received from

The Bail Road Question
The Board of County Commissioners,
in session yesterday, agreed among them
selves to order an election to ascertain
the sense of the people of Buncombe
county on the proposition lo issue bonds
to certain rail road companies lor the
purposes heretofore mentioned in our
columns. The Commissioners will not
issue the order for an election until Mon
day next, giving time for the formulation
of the ideas of the Commissioners and
the attorneys representing both the in
terests of the people and of the rail road
companies.
The Butnect was Drought to the con
sideration of the Board through the
presence find by b. arguments and

The . President pays his railroad
fare like any other American citizen.
He has bougnt regular first class
tickets for every member of his par
ty for the outlined trip. The reports
that the trip will cost him $10,000
are said to be great exaggerations.
The President will stock the buffet
car himself and pay all the incident
al expenses of the trip, and even
experienced railroad men say that
the trip will not cost him over $2,000.

before 10 o'clock, at 10:15 the Presi
dent and Mrs. Cleveland appeared at
the door of the mansion, and were
applauded by the crowd of ladies and
children that had gathered in tne
nark in front of the residence. There
was a noticeable absence of men, and
the dresses indicated a predominance
of th I alter t l ii-sea. Mr. J. C. C.
Ranweter entered the carriage with
tne rresident ana wire, ana in a iew
minutes they were moving briskly
toward tne lair grounds, escorted bv
a squad of mounted police and citi
zens, the committee and carriages.
Hundreds of vehicles crowded with
people awaited on the grand avenue
at the entrance of Vandeventer
Place, and joined the procession,
which was strung out along the ave
nue for more than a mile. There
was no noise whatever aiorig the
route except the clatter of the horses
hoofs on the road and the tramp of
thousands ot feet on the p i vement.
No mishap or incident occurred
to mar the pleasant morning drive;
and at 10:45 tho party anived at the
gate of tho fair grounds. The
drive to the fair grounds was made
moderate. It was children's day,
and the youngsters were out in great
force. Thv, with mothers, nurses.
and friends packed the seats of the
amphitheatre and surrounding
promenale to the number of (50,000.
The brass b ind in the pagoda in the
centre attempted to make itsell
heard, but tiie shrill voice of the
congregation made everything but
the bass drum inaudible. The visitors
did not alight. After driving around
the amphitheatre and back, a halt
was made, and Mr. Cleveland was
presented by the lady SuneriiHtn-
uentof the Kuidergarter school with
a handsome Ivqittt of flowers. The
children led by the Bands sans.
"Hail Columbia," and the coarse.

grounds, made its way back t ) the

President to the exchange, but was
left en route at the residence ot the
Mayor whence she went to that of
Mrs. Scaulan, one of the Society-
leaders where the ladies of St. Louis

THE PRESIDENT IN THE KXCIIANOE.
The immense room, which is 225
feet long and 150 feet wide, was
jammed lo its utmost capacity with
people, and the President had tlifli-
cultv in getting fioia the reception
room to the platform. On the first
appearance of the President, loud
cheers went up f.om the entire multi
tude ; anel as he assended the plat
form the eiitluisiasLu was intense.
Frank Gaierne, the President of the
Merxh.vMt Exchai.gc introduced him.
Mayor Francis then welcomed the
President to the State ; anel after an
other explosion of cheers the Presi
dent responded.
(The speech is too long for our
convenient use. We can only say
that it was yvell worded, sensible, and
appropriate, but contains nothing
of general signilicance, though
abounding iu sentiments and expres
sions agreeable to the city- anel h.ate
of his entertainers and to the West
generally.)
