The in'uicd bv the recent accidents
are all improving, we are glad to learn.
The large crowd in town yesterday en

dry again.

Mr. b. M. Hatch has returned from a
trip to Atlanta and several points in
Tennp?see, and . resinned work on the
large Barnard building. While iti Uris
tol with his father they celebrated a
family reunion fur the lint time with
all present in twenty years. Including
the tamily and nearest relatives, there
were about 2o persons present.
The Franklin i'rw says:
"Mr. V. R. Johnson has been selected
to take charge of the Franklin High
School until the close of the term in De
cember. Mr. Johnson is a young gentle
man of line education and sterling
worth, and possesses all the qualifica
tions for teaching. Wo have no doubt
he will give i. trice satisfaction as i rin
cipal of the Franklin High .School.
The N, tvs-Ob'ft-w of the L'Sth says :
; An Ash villa gentleman said yester
day thrit the real estate of Ashevhle wn
valued at i'-l,(:(ni.0ii0. The Kaleigh tax
list savs that Raleigh real estate is worth
less than !?4,0liii,(niil. Ilaleigh has lo.Oitil
inhabitants and more than a million dol
lars invested in business entei prises.
Asheviile lias about 5,000 inhabitants
and one-third as much capital invested as
Itak-it-'h. Asheviile could be bought for
$4,000,000, but llr.leigh would sell easily
lor .i,000,ouo. J berc is nothing wrong
with the property. The tax list is some
what loose, that's all."
That paper has had the means of learn-
sng what has been repeated often in our
columns that instead of ti e potm ation
of Asheviile being 5.000, it is not less than
S.000, The official census begun on the
lst of January last developed 7,2-38, and
there has been steady ir.trease since
then, and it ia not less, probably con
siderably more now than 8,000 The
editor of the iVctc-Observer had full
opportunity to obtain accurate informa
tion when he was here in July. Again,
we ate not so sure that Asheviile coula
be bought for $-1,000,000, though the News
and Observer is probably right about Ral
eigh. In making the last assessment
here, the valuation was fixed at upwards
of $5,000,000 whii.ii was accepted as fair to
property holders; and an increase over
that would have roused no remonstrance.
When all the returns from all the town
ships were compared, it was deemed just
and also necessary to reduce the assess
ment for Asheviile 25 per cent to equalize
the burden with that of other townships.
Asheviile cannot be bought for
$4,000,000,

says : "A writer in the Baltimore

The ''independent Democratic re

Now the republicans themselves are
cussing the independents as

they are, generally.
Mr. Ley', in the Eagle Block, has

onions, which lb tdz-j ''takts the

ten to sixteen inches in circum
ference. One ot th.ese has been
placed upon our t:ible. It is such
kindness as this which brings tears
to our eyes.
The Knoxville Journal, Republi
can, in commenting upon General
Henry Jackson's Macon speech, has
the candor and manliness to say :
"We do not for a moment believe
that is his nervous utterences de
livered at Macon, General Jackson
represents the sentiments of the
people of the South. We do not
believe that any considerable num
ber of them believe that the time
will ever come in the wonderful
march of ideas, when .Tellers on
Davis will be recognized as the
"right'.ul President" and Abraham
Lincoln set down as the tyrant and
usurper.

The Raleigh Si'jaal pas : 'This cel. -d. ra
ted murder case, the trial, conviction and
escape of tiie defendants, is still fresh in
the minds of our r. aders. The immedi
ate i'riends of Ray and Anderson may
know wnere they are but the public
have heard nothing from them since
they escaped from Asheviile jail Wc
have just learned that a gentleman from
this State who is now doing in Europe
has written to a friend in this city that
Rav and Anderson and their families are
living in the northern part of England
and i re thriving farmers and "cattle
raisers."
New Hotel at Knoxville.
Our thriving neighbor beyond the
border is actively aroused to one of its
necessities. It i3 without s ich a hotel as
a city of 35,000 or 40,000 or more for
Knoxville increases so rapidly in popula
tion that a monthly census is needed to
keep up with her progress should have.
The Hattie House did well for the
times; but the ci'y requires something
larger, something better, something more
stylish. Therefore we are glad to learn
from the Tribune of the 29th that active
steps are being ta en to supply the
desideratum.
We are glad to take the following from
tiie Tribune:
When the charier isobtaint d subscrip
tion books will b9 opened and the money
raised to build the hotel. One gentleman
in the city has already pledged $20,000.
Others propose to donate a lot worth
40,000 and to take that amount in stock.
Still other gentlemen have signified their
intention of subscribing. It is thought
that there is 'he eurn of at least $150,000,
in fo'giit, for the hotel. Gentlemen who
are not citizens of Knoxville have pro
posed to take a like amount of stock, of
whatever amount Knoxville raises in the
hotel. This will secure $300,000. It is
believed that 5500,000 can be raised if the
company decide to build so costly a
house. It is alsj prcbible thatall the
stock can be raised in Knoxville if the
company so desire.
EsesciAL Attention
Is invited to the large array of popular
remedies to be found at Pelham'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 edyise our frit nds
in the country that when in want of any
medicines to try Pelham's Drug Store.
They fill physicians' prescriptions at low
prices. The quality of their goods is unexcelled-
They handle a full line of
Sundries such as drug stores usually

The Asheville Methodist.
The prospectus of the above pa
per, a new enterprise to be at once
established in this city, is before us.
Rev. J. F. Austin is ediior, Rev. C.
T. Carroll associate editor. The
purpose the publication is thus
slated by Mr. Austin :
"A first clas3 monthly, at fifty
cents a year, published within our
own bounds, may be placed in most
of the Methodist homes of this pros
perous mountain county. It is not
our purpose to crowd out our Nash
ville Advocate and HoUton Methodist,
but to supplement them with a
bright, sparkling, religious monthly
paper, at a price within the reach of
all. Our pious and brainy breth
ren, who have promised to assist us
in filling our columns with reli
gious matter, are strong friends and
supporters of the excellent papers
mentioned above. U",.nreactiers
nre anxious tor aw.",'2';cf in
which they may putibh appoint
ments, revival notes and many
other local items of interest which
may be seen and read by the
masses.
Dr. Carroll says :
"The paper is to be devoted to the
internal J r f f.br!at.1 .1 r t r rronor-illtr
and particularly to the interests of
southern methoaism in this rapidly
developing section of our State. It
will be the purpose of the editor to
make it a medium of inter commu
nication between the various fields
of our svork in Western "orth Caro
lina, and to furnish useful informa
tion to our people on all subjects of
religious interest. e greatly need
a deeper and more wide spread in
teresu on the subject ot christian ed
ucation. It shall be our effort to
aid, as far as possible, in creating
this interest. There is, also, a great
lack of missionary intelligence and
intelligence on other matters of
church enterprise, among us, which
we propose to supply by crowding
our columns brim full of carefully
selected items of information on all
of these subjects, and thereby aid.
as far as we can, in building up all
the interests of the Ceurch of God."
e sincerely wish the Methodist
may receive that encouragement
and sympathy its merits and high
purposes will entitle it to.
We clip the following interesting
items from the number before us :
Rev. J. S. Burnett will preach at

Many of the very best, cleverest

live in Asheviile. No wonder she is
a liye, progressive churchy city. It
pays more missionary money, it is
said, than any other city in the
botmdsofthe Ilolston Conference.
The work of the Church, in the
Asheviile District, was never so
promising as at the commencement
of this Conference year. The preach
ers are consecrated, capabie men,
and if the stewards and other mem
bers of the church will give the
needful encouragement at the be
ginning and all through the year,
the wor't will g on vigorously.

Gordon, of Georgia, alluded to ihe
reception of Jefferson Davis at M
con as follows .- 'Tt is charged that
we cheered J eft Davis. Does thai
mean going to war again
L
t us
reason. Suppose we didn't, sun
pose we turned our back on this
palefaceel, broken down n!d man.
Why did be do that I h iv:, don.: ?
I don't think I shot tiny body, but
tried pietty hard. You might u.k
me to turn the cold sh uilder on the
wife of my bosom. She went with
me to the front. Shu followed me
to the camps, shared my dangers
even to picket, and at times in dan
ger of the battle, anel under provi
dence I owe to her ten. lei nurs
ing that my life was spared me.
Why should I hate her? If we
should turn our Packs on that man,
refuse him our sympathies, we
shoul merit the scorn of every brave
man in this audience, and -ou
would feel an absolute contempt
for us. When Jeff Davis left tne
United States Senate he left it rich
with regret aud full of political hon
ors. For our sakes he became poor
and debarred for ever troin of po
litical honors in his own country.
He lingers to day with broken
health and scarcely a place to iay
his heael, elragging after him woun
ded limbs with increasing suffering
that followed him from Bu na Vista.
What would you think of me if I
said : "Go hence, I have no more
use for you." I am not going to
do it. I would have a contempt for
Genl. Morgan (who sat on the stage)
if he went back on the grand old
name of Abraham Lincoln. Put
yourself in the other fellows place.
It was my fortune a few weeks ago
in Philadelphia to take part in the
celebration of the adoption of the
constitution, and when Georgia had
taken her part, I was proud as I
stood in the streets to see the shat
tered remnants of the Union army
bearing the" shattered remnants of
the old flags ; and as they were re
viewed by that Octobe; light amid
the sounding of 100,000 throats I
felt that thrill that I know was pul
sating in the veins of that strong,
grand man, remnants of the grand
army of there, ublic; why shouldn't

and trvjth. I would
in horop aptl liberty
have no faith
if those did
not have their old flags; so too we
have ours. Let us get out ot the
universe when hatred of the
South is called loyalty to the North
I am going to show you that our
children should love their flags. A
man is better who has the nerye to
do justice, whatever it costs. Vras
there any honor in carrying these
old Hags? They, too, were woven
by the patriotic hands of the South
ern women. They were elelivereel
to husbands and brother;-, e'.onse
crated by tears and prayers. Some
were rent with bullets, blackened
with gun powder anel reddened with
the blood of the brave. Don't we
build monuments to the Con feeler
ate dead ? Why, General Grant,
the greatest General oi the Union
army, said he wa- willing to share
in the dedication of monuments to
the Confederate dead. There isn't
good sense in it aad the ma-i who
tries to stir up your passions does
not deserve your votes. T can see
in some ot your papers enh.mn af
ter column about Rebel flags. This
is the truth. I was there. There
were in all that great central city of
Macon, Ua,, dozens of Confederate
flags, and fifty thousand of the stars
anel stripes, and yet some people
are sn color blind that they could
not sec anything but Rebi-1 flags,
and yet the very carriage that bore
Jeff Davis, and the horses that drew
him were lit. -rally covered with
Union ling-'. Every house ih.it he
was in was covered with them as to
almost blind him."
Some other speeches were made.

Union was rehabilitated on firmer
basis than ever.
