In the several speeches which Presi dent Cleveland has made during his trip through the West and South he has shown, not only a familiarity, but an in terest in the statistics of the result of local cntemrise. all of which he well characterizes as an exhibit of true Amer ican endeavor. Any data -to which lie may have turned for information con cerning Asheville could not furnish him with a true insight into the rapid develop ment of the city and of Western North Carolina unless he has been a constant reader, of the Citizen; and even then, the growth ol the place since he started upon his journey would be overlooked. The Citizen, therefore, avails itself of the opportunity afforded by his yisit to the city and section to mention a few mat ters of interest, more particularly of the city. In lSiOthe population of Asheville was 14 i. In 18S0 was2G2G. In 1S87, (first of January) was 7273, and in October, over 8000. In 1882 the fast rail road reached Ashe ville, the first which crossed the Blue Ridge in Western Carolina. In 1S84 three railroads centered here. and in 1886 another was added, giving direct communication with the East, South, West and North-we.-t. It is noted as a health resort. Summer and Winter, and over 50.000 people, from all sections, came to the city during the past twelvemonths, as evidenced by the rail road tickets sold to this place. we have as line hotels as arc in the country, and more of them than any Southern point can boast. We hive electric lights, gas works, extensive water-works, soon will have a street railway system. Have a laige shoe lactorv Hie make ol which coes to this and adjoining States; a mammoth cotton factory in course of erection, verv large tobacco warehouses, and a number of tobacco factories; five banking institu tions, dainp; a very large business; the handsomest residences in the Stale; more buildings, of an expensive character now goinsr up than any point in the State can boast; our population consists of Northerners and Southerners, for eigners and natives, not excluding the "heathen Chinee," all of whom flourish and enjoy life in this favored spot; some are republicans in politics, we regret to say, but all make useful citizens in all save their politics; there are also some few 'independents" here, who though noisy, under our splendid climate are permitted to exist As an evidence that people do well here one of our respected citizens, a shoe-maker who still sticks to his last, took in the Paris exposition a few years back, and extended his trip to Germany and New Jersey. The products of this country are won derful. In fruits, timber?, vegetables and tobacco our section has taken first pre miums at Vienna, Boston, Philadelphia Centennial, aud Atlanta. Our apples weigh 32 ounces a "bust" of one of which can be seen in the Smithsonian Institute; our walnut trees have produced $28,000 worth of timber to the tree, sold in your own New York City; if you ever eat "Baltimoie beef ' much of it comes from Weflern North Carolina; "Buncombe" cabbage ate known and relished throughout the South, while we now have tin hand a squash, raised in IlaywooJ county adjoining us, which weighs 143 pounds and which it is desired .Mrs. Cleveland shall have f i her Jersey cow. We have, just completed, one of the finest Female College buildings in the South, in which is conducted one of the best schools in the country; we will soon have litat-class graded schools for both races; have excellent private male and female schools: have churches for all the orthodox denominations, and a few "miserable sinners." Our county has more iron bridges over her large streams than can be found in any county South of the Potomac or Ohio. We have excellent county buildings, but we say it deferentially we need a federal court-house, a decent post-ollice anil deputy collectors' otlice. Our pies ent inadequate post-ol'ice not only has to serve the 8,000 resident population, and tin- imnie;;.-.- number of visitors, bat at least lour b live thousand res. dents cut-sid-:- ami tsurrounding the city lin.it. We have more (comparatively) small industries than any city of the South, and these are flourishing. Our laborers all are employed and contented. Now Mr. President, v.e give only a brief and very inadequate outline of "the attractions of our city and country. We should have mentioned our climate, our unexcelled mountain scenery, and our trout fishing. It is with all due modesty that we claim for our mountains and trout fishing full equality with, if not superiority over your own cherished Adirondaks. Come and see foryourself. Accept our greetings, and benediction for vou and yours, and our sreat and good country. Flags! Flags! Every body should have flags and patriotic mottoes this morning. Every house, man, child, horse and vehicle should be handsomely decorated. Sawyer has a full supply, and they are very cheap. Let all AsueviPe show her colors to-dav. Turning Night Into Day.

Mont gomery, the birth-place ol the Cons federacy excels Atlanta in the mag nificence of her military and civic reception to the honored chief mag istrate of the United States. Perfect order prevails throughout. The city and the strangers within her gates are foremost in doing honor to Grover Cleveland and his really beautiful wife. They look forward to their stoppage in Asheville with great pleasure. jP al. J.

Our community was thrown into great excitement yesterday morn ing by the information that a terri ble collision had occurred upon the Atlanta Air Line Rosd, upon which n number of ladies and gentlemen of Asheville were known to be pas sengers. II113 excitement was changed into most painful feelings wnen later telegrams came an nouncing the calamity which had befallen our community. Mrs. J. Hamilton McDowell was killed out right; Mr. Bulow Erwin had his foot badly injured, and Miss Mary McDowell was seriously wounded. Hon. II. A. Gudger, Judge Shuford, Mr. and Mrs. liobt. Long and others were also on the train. None of those were injured, so far as we could learn at this writincr. The telegrams in another column will give full particulars of the hoi rible ticcident. Fixe Potatoes. Mr. W. II. Jones, of Hominy, brought to our office yesterday a bushel of the finest Irish potatoes we have seen in Buncombe or any where else. Thfivmre Kiirly Ko3t but that variety improved upon. They are of uniform size, all extra large, and would have distanced competition at the State Fair, for which they were o.iginally intended. They stop short at the Citizen of fice; and constituting ourselves a 'Committee of Awards, we give to them t;ie highest premium. The Accident Yerterday. Ju-t as our people were feeling juhilent over the yisit of the ChicfJ Magistrate of our country, his wife and party to our city, a mo t hor rible gloom was cast overall by the information of the shocking acci dent on the Air Line Road, in which Mrs. McDowell, one of Asheville's most amiable and estimable ladies, lost her life, and Miss McDowell and Mr. Erwin were injured Words cannot express the effect of this i.i.'onnation upon our community. It is needless to say that the sym pathy of the people goes out to the parties afflicted. We have never known more universal sor row. Truly, what an exemplifica tion of the truth. "In the midst of life we are in death." The remains of Mrs. McDowell reached here this morning. Chestnuts Were never so abundant as they are this eeason. They are gathered by the thousands of bushels. On the mountain ridges the ground is covered with them, and they are gathered every where for market. We saw the other day a shipment of 140 bushels to Atlanta, the venture ol young Aleck Monday on Nantahala. They are greedily eaten by cattle, hogs, bear and deer, and art! thriye and fallen thereon. Other mast is equally abundant. Distinguished Visitors. Senators Ransom and Vance, Hon. Jno S Henderson and Mr. Julian S Carr, leeched the city yesterday to unite in the reception of the President. These gentlemen proceeded to Hot Springs to receive him and his distinguished party, and will return with him this morning.

J MONTOUSIKM . , Oct. 20.- AftT good nignt s rest on ttie special train the Presidential tourists arrived here at 8 o'clock this morning. There were the usual large crowds in wait ing but the strictest Jortler prevailed Commerce street from the station to the Hotel nearly half a mile away was lined b' troopj on each side who kept the wide Avenue open from curb to curb. Gov. Seay, May or Ref se and Col. Newman Presi dent of the State Agricultural Soci ety who composed the Reception Committee were within the lines and conducted the guests at once to their carriages and th n to the Ho tel. Tne manner of the reception made an exceedingly favorable im pression upon the minds ot the President and his companions. At the Hotel Senator Pngh, Seiiato: Morgan, said members of the Gov enor's staff, President of .Senate, Speaker of the House, Ex Govenor O'XeiJ, Congressman Davidson and a number of ladies greeted the city's guests in tiie Hotel parlor where h ilf anhour was spent in makiugand renewing acquaintances. The Presi dential party breakfasted at the Hoteljwith Governor and Mrs. Seay, Col. and Mrs Newman, Mayor Reese ond daughter, Ex-Governor O'Neal, Senator Morgan, Senator Pugh and a few others, after which they reviewed the troops from the balcony of the Hotel. There were about 1,000 men in column includ ing troops of the cavalry and bat tery of artil.ery. The President has recieved a telegram from the Mayor of New Orleans stating a Committee was on way to ask the trip to be extended to that city. Col. Lamont replied that the President's immediate en gagements make a compliance with the request impossible. After the review the party took carriages for a ride about the thetwn. Mrs. Cleveland was the surprised recipient of a unique and beautiful souvenir. This jewel case aws in form of a bale of cotton about eight inches in length and propor tionate in depth and width. It is made of pure silver and is a very ar tistic production; its sides were ox idized silver representing bagging of a bale; while fros:ed spots hear striking resemblencc to snowy coN ton bursting from its confinement. Plantation mark -upon the end oi the bale is "G. C. iSSS," and ware house mark on its top is "F. F. C." Inside of the corner bears inscrip tion -'P esented to Mrs. Cleveland by Mayor and City Council as a token of their regard on the occasion of her visit to Montgomery, Ala., Oct. 20th 1SS7." Presentation was made by Mayor Reese in the name of municipality. The ride through the beautiful city was a most enjoy able leature of the day's demonstra tion. Public and private buildings were elaborately adorned and every thing wore a gala appearance. :o: Lots of handsome Goods now arriving at i 13 dtftod H. RED WOOD & CO. The Gala Day. Everything gave token yester'day after noon of the purpose of the people of Asheville to give to Grover Cleveland, his beautiful young wife, and his distin guished party a right royal welcome. The envious and weeping clouds had withdrawn their melancholy-drapery 5 and a glorious sunlight and exhilarating breeze gave promise of genuine inspirit ing "Cleveland weather." Gay banners and flashing pennants had displaced the canopy of the clouds, and joyousness breathed in every flutter of the flags and in every color ot the banners. The work ol decoration was incomplete when the Bhades of night fell upon the scene ; but the promise was bright that the morning sun would break upon a scene of dazzling brilliancy and bewil dering fascination. The court house front was decorated with striking splendor and with excellent taste and judgment. The uncouth archi tecture was concealed under graceful folds of drapery. Fiaus in half circles dependent from every window sill ; flags with the ever present stars and stripes; flags with broad beltsf icd, white, blue and orange, s; mboliVin nothing, but throwing out glowing radiance of color; little flags gleefully fluttering to every coquetry of the breeze, long guy ropes ex tending from roof to the outside fencing hung with gav pennons and bannerets, and the utmost heights of the tswer crowned with the same, dancing around mire sedate and s ber shields. From the second front window was extended a large and handsome painting, ' Columbus discovering America." Elsewhere the gratcfol work wa3 com plete or in progress. Across the head ol North Main street, extending from Pen- nirnan's to Cooper's, a stretched rope bors a lull-sized t ortrait of Grover Cleve- and ; away down South Mains-ree- las. and Frank Loughran had hum; out the flag of Erin, with its symbolic harp ; a splendid banner it was. Intermediately many Btores were decorated with Hags, and the effect even in the unfinished state of preparation, was brilliant in the extreme. The children had caught the inspi.a tion; and tiie little fellows, boys and girls, were hurrying through the crowds flut tering their stars and stripes, impatient to 6how their appreciation of the great American President. We shall give in full all the details ol the decorations after they shall have been complete ; for as we write there is a vast deal more to be done. Buncombe and IIatwood Usite. Mr. Edward B. Atkinson of Asheville and Miss Annie L , daughter of Mr. W. C. Miller of Waynesville were married in the latter pkee on Wednesday, Oct. 19lh. The marriage ceremonies took place in the Methodist church at 2 o' clock in ihc presence of a large number of friends, Rev. J. C. Orr olliciating. The wedding march was very appropriate and well rendered by Miss Iva Keller. The attendants were Miss Ann'e Rey nolds and Geo. H. Miller, Miss Susie Davies a-d W. F. Tomlinson.
