sills, for curbings and for other pur
poses is coming largely in to use
here. It is a gray, nearly white,
stone, of fine grain and great com
pactness. We learn it comes from
Henderson county where the forma
tion is a very extensive one and
very accessible. inere is good
granitt; in Buncombe, and not far
from Asneville, bnt nowhere in the
mountains is it presented in such
quantity and under such favorable,
conditions as in our ireig
county.
Good Luck for a Good Max.
Gol. T. B. Long has placed upon
our table a fine specimen of gold
quartz, found on his plantation, six
miles east of Asheville. He invites
any and all persons to come and
look at his mine but would prefer
gentlemen who have lots of cash if
they want any interest in this mine.
Marriages.
At Louisville, Ky., cn the 15th,
Mr. W. B. Anderson, of Asheville,
and Miss A. Karl, of Louisville.
The groom and bride reached this
city vesterday, and have the best
wishes of all.
At Greenville, S. C, on the 16th,
Mr. Sol Edel, of Asheville, and Miss
Rosa, the accomplished daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Mark, of Green
ville, S.G
Mr. and Mrs. Edel will visit rela
tives of the groom in Richmond be.
fore returning to this city. All of the
friends of the groom in this city
wish the groom and his bride a long
life of unalloyed bliss.
Two Ice Factories;
It is certainly intended thatAshe
vill shall keep cool. Some time
sence Mr. CDllins, who bought large
intereetes in this citj", included
among his purchases a site for an
ice factory, and forthwith ordered
the necessary machinery for a com
plete factory, to turn our a large
number of tons of pure ice per day.
This plant is now enroute, and will
be up and at work at an early date.
Mr. Collins sa3's he will have as
complete an establishment as the
Sou!h can boast, and will not only
supply Asheville but orders from
any point on the Western Carolina
system of roads. In addition to
this we learn that another company
of capitalists will establish an ex
tensive ice-plant for a similar pur
pose, and with large factilities.
Some of our most successful busi
ness men are at the head of this new
concern, and "know . no such word
as fail." Between these two com
panies wo oupht to hear no more
scarcity of ice in Asheville orWestern
Carolina. And they come on the
stage just in time fo"r the next year's
campaign.
A New Enterprise.
The following gentlemen we learn
ni'-t yesterday and incorporated the
Asheville Ice Company, viz, J.
P. Sawyer, J. G. Martin, '.V. O.
M tiller, T. W. Patton, YV. C. Car
michatl, and C. R. Holmes. A
charter has been filed with the clerk
ol the Court of this county. The
capital of the company has been
fixed at $25,000. Books of subscrip
tion have been ordered to be opened
at Dr. Carmichael's, Main street. A
majority of the stock has been al
ready subscribed and we learn a
temporary organization effected.
The officers elected are J. P. Saw
yer, President; J. G.Martin, Vice
President ; E. I. Holmes. Secretary
and Treasurer.
Arrangements nave been made
with a Mr. Moore, of Maryland, a.
yeteran in the business of manuiac
turing Ice, for the immediate erec
tion of a machine ol the latest and!
most improved patent having a ca
pacity of ten tons of "hard trans-
parant pure Ice" every 24 hours.
Mr. Moore is expected here during
the present week, and work will be
commenced at once and pushed to
a rapid conclusion. We congratu
late the citizens of Asheville and
vicinity on this additional enterprise
and on the certanity of having
a good sufficiency of pure Ice at
an earl' date and at .figures within
reach of all.

On Monday night, a Gold Medal. The

The Large Increase
In the ci.culation of the Daily and
Wzkkly Citizen the past few days is
certainly most encouraging and gratify
ing to us The Citizen alone furnishes
the daily aisociated press dispatches,
besides other general and local news. It
is rtally the orean ef the people of this
section, so far as giTing information of
this section is concerned. The Citizen
is read by more people in this city and
eection than U any other paper. It is the
paper that is read by the people that
advertisers should consider. We ask
advertisers to think of this. All we
ask is that the people of Asheville and
Western Carolina shall give to the Citi
zin such promft-payirg patronage as
will enable it to become the best news
paper of the State.
Not Geese Bct O'tossum.
Messrs. John Lange, Haliybnrton and
Deake, the Duck hunters, learning that
some wild geese were making themselves
homely a few miles up the river, donned
their hunting-suits early yesterday
morning, and ere the rays of approach
ing day could be seen on the eastern
horizon left the city, determined to fetch
in, some of the feathery tribe which had
evidently wandered from their regular
rendezvous. They reached the river
bank, and followed its meanderings for
several miles, and hunted with all their
might until eld Sol had scaled Beaumont
several hours, without seeing a sroose, or
anything like 'one, save the three who
were in the party. Finally believing
that they had been imposed upon they
quietly folded their ammunition and
"other things and silently started on
rheir return trip homeward. Fortune
faor the brave, however. They had
not gotten far, having taken a by-path
through the woods, before reaching a
small persimmon tree, and to t .eir ereat
joy, upon looking up, they spied a huge
o possum nestled among the branches.
A little work soon made him, her, she or
it a captivat The marsupial was brought
to the city, weighed, and found to null
the beam at 22 pounds. This was not
what these gentlemen went for, but find
ing a stringer they took him in. He is

A Magnificent Scbcrban'Residence.
Mr. Fred A. Brown, of New York
city, son of a member of the firm of
Brown Bros., prominent bankers of
that city, who recently bought the
beautiful Strawberry Hill farm near
Asheville, is having built an elegant
residence on his property, Mr. J. A.
Waguer, J contractor. His building
is to be of native granite, of elaborate
design and finish, and will be one of
the most elegant residences iu or near
the city. We welcome all new resi
dents, and congratulate Mr. Brown
upon his good judgment in the selec
tion of so beautiful .a site for a home.
