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.
Why is the sun like people of fashion ?
It turns night into day the time people
catch cold, which, if not attended to in
tune, will induce consumption. Take in
time Taylor's Cherokee Romeo of Sweet
Gum and Mullein.

dfnts Seriously
Wounded.
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.

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.

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.
