A handsome Opera House. When shall we say its erection has been begun ? Mr. Willis, local editor ot tne WaynesTille News, was in the city yesterday. Now for Tobacco Prize Rooms They are needed. Who will go into the enterprise ? Work on the new manutactu: ing plants at the Old Depot is rap idly progressing. Why not start a wagon factory in Asheville ? There is every in ducement here lor one. Street cleaning continues, much to the happiness of our people. Now don't fail to look after the back lots. The young men's societies of the various churches in the cit- ate rapidly growing in numbers and interest. Dr. Carmichael has had his pop ular drugstore handsomely painted, some-6ort-of-a-ird's-egg color, and it is very pleasing. The Asheville Co-operative In- dustral Association is growing. Sev eral thousand dollars' subscriptions were added yesterday. A gentleman said to us a few days ago he would give several acres in North Asheville for a manufac tory of some kind. Who will take the ofler? Don't let it be long before we have that four hundred thousand dolliis subscribed for new industrial en terprises in Asheville. Let every citizen take a few shares of stock. Mr. Rhinehardt, who lor somo months has very acceptably filled a position in the drug store of John Y. McRae, left yesterday for hi home at Waynesville. I;,:',eig!i Neus-0bscrcr. The Sunday evening song ?er vices at the First Methodist .church are quite interesting. The choir led by Prof. Kneringer,is one of the. best in the State and the music adds greatly to the services. There will be an important meet ing of the Royal Arcanum Monday night, Feb 13th. An.ong othr business there will be an initiation of a number of new members. A full attendance is desired. We ask our many Northern vis itors in Asheville to carefully note the elegant weather we now enjoy, and compare it with the reports of the Northf rn section. Ail are de lighted with Ashevillc's climate now. The Co operative Association seems tobe meeting with'popular fa among capitalists, business men, mchuriies and all alike. The sub scription was increased yesterday about twentv five additional sharfs. Let the good work goon. Mr. E. W. Burkholder of Vir ginia has located in this city. His family will reach here thi evening ana will occupy Mrs. Walke's dwell ing on Chestnut street. Wr. B. id a skilful architect, as can be seea by his work already done in this city. A colored man fell from a load of wood yesterday and was run oyer by the wagon and very bdly in jured, but Dr. Weaver thinks no bones were broken, lie was in t:ie employ of Mr. W. H. Baird of lieaverdim anil was hauling wood to the city. Asheville's Pr.osrECTS Bright. We heard a visitor v-r.y yesterday that he considered Asheville's pros-" pects for the future brighter than any place he knew of. This was a Northern gentleman, who is back ing his iudgment wit a his capitol. A Woolen Mill. Several of our energetic citizens got together Friday, and subscribed $20,000 to establish at once a woolen mill for tho carding, spin ning and weaving of wool, to bo established iu Asheyille. We will give full particulars in a tow days. This new enterprise is a certainty. Asheville will grow. Unlike other cathartics. Dr. 1'ierce's "Pellets" do not render the bowels costive after operation, but, on tho contrary, establish a permanently healthy action. Being entirrty vegetable., no particular care is required while using them. By dru gi8'8. d&tvlvv Silver Jewelry.

SWANNANOA TcNNBL. j We were informed that a small slide had occurred near Swanuanoa tunnel which caused a delay and transfer Friday. There has been no slide; but, as is known, the Rail road Company have been at work some time walling in the tunnel with solid masonrv: and in the construe tion of this work it was considered precaution, wnilo removing some old timber, to make transfers yes terday and to day. There is no accident nor other obstacle save that which is made necessary in the prosecution of the work of walling. in,whichJonly occasioned a few min utes delay for Friday and yester day. All is well, and solid, to-dav and the trains will run through regularly, on time to-day and here after. Supt. McBee and his force have had a tough job on their hands, but have managed it with excellent skill and prevision, and now the grand old tunnel is all right, to stay. Boilixg Wells ix North Caro lina A special from Raleigh, N. C, to the N. Y. Herald nays : ''The wells in the vicinity of Wood, Johnton county, are reported as being violently disturbed and to be boiling and bubbhng.with loud noises. At a distance of thirtv 3ards from the mouth of somo wells this noise is plainly psrceptible. The phenomenon was observed some days ago. The soil is sandy in that section. Nothing like it was ever before known here." Within half a mile of our Hot Springs is a boiling spring, the wa ter bubbling up constantly, throw ing up sand with it. The spring is some twelve or fifteen feetn diam eter, but its depth has never been ascertained. We once saw a ten foot fence rail thrown into it wilh some force, end downwards; it went completely out of sight and after a few seconds was thrown to the sur face with some force. It is a very remarkable spring, and we have never heard a reasonable explana tion of it. The water is cool, not cold, but to look at it bubbling up one would think great heat was un derneath. Proressioiial tiquc(lc prevents some doctors from advertising their skill, but we are bound by no such conventional rules and think that if we make a discovery that is of her 'lit to our fellow?, we ought to spread the fact to the whole land. Therefere we cause to be published throughout the land the fact that Dr. R. V. Pierce's "Golden Medical Discovery" is the best known remedy for consumption (ecrofula of the lungs) and kindred diseases. Send 10 cents in stamps for Dr Pin e's complete treatise on consumption, with unsurpass ed loesns of self-treatment. Address, Wot Id's Dispensary Medical Association, Cfi3 Main Street, Buffalo, N.

However, this may be, it is a truth that many people contribute to their early decline r.y marked imprud ences. One of these is clearly shown to day by hundreds who disregard the la'S's ot health and expose themselves to the vigors of winter without due regard to its consequences. What ure these, you ask? The death roll will tell you. The answer is Pneumonia, Bronchitis, Croup, Whoon- ing t-ougn, coins and Asthma, and ttie severer pulmonary troubles usually can be traced to these exposures. This should be avoided, and can be somewhat, by the timelv use of Pelham's Pectoral Syrup, at 25 cents a bottle.
