Our sympathies go out to the veneiahle hus band and family. People are cominj: in from the country to sec the Minstrel performance. A Pin Hooker and a Grengerdisagreed about something yesterday morning on North Main street, and made times brisk for a few moments. Claret was tapped and soma hair lost, but no serious damage was done. Secure your reserved seats for the Minstrels to-night at Sawyer's. The weather bureau in Washington telegraphed Wednesday "Rivers in Georgia, South Carolina and North Car olina will rise rapidly, causing dange.-ous floods." No reports of floods were re ceived yesterday , and we trust the bureau was mistaken. The death of little Johnnie Schartle which occurred yesterday at the home of his parents on Orange street, after sev eral weeks of severe suffering, is indeed a ead affair. Strong hopes of his recov ery were entertained up to Wednesday, when Inn condition changed lor the worse, death ensuing as stated. He was a bright little boy and the distressed parents certa'nly have the sympathy of their friends. Mr. M. A. Kirkpatrick of Crabtree, Haywood county, informs us that the wheat crop of his lection is looking very promising. He aleo thinks the tobacco crop from that section has been about sold. The farmers are making extensive preparations lor a large crop this year. We again sugeest to our farmer friends not to over crop themselves this year with tobacco to the neglect of home supplies. See the grand street parade to day at 11 o'clock. Mr. Johp S. Cunningham of Person, son of our late friend Mr. John Cunning ham, is one of the largest tobacco plan ters in the world. He will plant this eeason over ene million and a-halfof hills, and having been raised a farmer he will succeed in his endeavor. Mr. O. was made chairman of the great farm ers' convention recently in session at Danville, and bis address and general bearing produced a profound impression upon his brother farmers of the two States. He is one of the lising young men of the South, who devoting himself to the material development ot his mother State wnl leive nis impresi upon current history. Improvements at the Junction. Improvements in and around Asheville continue, and are increasing at the Spring approaches. Swannanoa Junc tion, our Southern suburb, is keeping full pace with the city. Four nice new dwellings are now in course of construc tion, one being erected by Mr. S. H. Reed, another by Mr. Shackleford, two by Mr. J. M. Brookshire Others are under contract. The Ice Manufacturing Company recently organized in Ashe ville have selected an eligible site at the Junction, and will have the plant in full operation by April 1st Two Grand Bargain Days, At Law's.

Manager Southwick, of the Bat tery Park helped receive the Presi dential party at Jacksonville. Travel from the North to the South is so heavy of late that trains are frequently several hours late. Indications are that a large num ber of Northern visitors will come to Asheville in the next few weeks. Yesterday was an elegant day for handling tobacco, and a great tlea1 of it was handled, too. Our market keeps at the top. The Wayne8vilie Courier says: A fine drove of fat cattle ware weighed in the city Thursday, the property of J. Noland, Fines creek. Several of them weighed 1,500 pounds each. They were purchased by T. B. Cow ard, of Rich Mountain, Jackson county. Ourdharlolte contemporary, the Chronicle, says the people of Char- lotte.are mu.cn interested in a pro posed railroad direct to Weldon. we may be permitted a suggestion in cennection with this matter we would say that Charlotta already has good and direct connections east, and if our friends wou'd really consult their interest they will strike for further and more direct connec tions wiih the west. A good op portunity is presented by extending the Carolina Central from Ruther fordton to Asheville. This would be in direction ol any increase of trade that Charlotte can hope for.

We learn from the Sylva Herald: That a part of the machinery lor the kaolin lactory at D.llsboro, has been received, and is being plaeed. The balance of it is looked lor daily. A. Bryson has taken a contract to deliver one hundred tons of koiiin per week at the factor- in Dillsboro. Dr. YY. r. lompkins was over from Webster last Saturday. He thinks that young Slillwell who was so badlyehot to pieces, somo time ago, having his .neck almost halt' severed and lossing the use ot near ly one hand, may recover. He can sit up in bed a little and take nour ishment very well. Married, on luesday last, Feb ruary 21st, at the residence of the bride a parents near avnesville, Mr. Will G. Boggs, of Dillsboro, to Miss Sarah R. Wilbar, Rev. Dr. Buell officiating. The Tobacco Market. The Lynchburg Advance says : The receipts at the warehouses arc increasing in volume as the condition of the roads im prove, and the sales to-day were largely attended and the bidding spirited. 1 he only appreciable change in prices is in the most inferior grades, which are ot necessity lower than a month ago. The reason is obvious : the world is filled with so-called tobacco uttfit for any use except as a fertilizer, and the planters persist in raising twice a3 much as they are capable of handling properly. They com plain of low prices, when nobody is to be blamed but themselves. If the planter who last vear cultivated ten acres will this year conlins the area to five acres, and work it as it should be, he will realize a hand some profit from his labor. Other wise, he will be "left, for there is no demand for inferior tobacco, either in America or the world. The truth of this proposition is demonstrated by the fact, everv day exemplified at all our warehous es, that all grades of good tobacco command high prices, while nonde script qualities s.re hardly worth bringing to market.

The improvement of county roads is a matter which deserves the serious con sideration of the people, and we are pleased to know that it is beina consider ed to a greater extent than heretofore. T'jc business men of Raleigh are giving the roads leading to that city attention, and their example is worthy of being followed bv others A Raleigh correspondent says : ' The ali-absorbing topic among our btiaint'frs men at present is the condition of the public roads leading into this city. On Saturday last a meeting of citizens took place for the purpose of devising some method of improveirent, and the deliberations were of the most encourag ing charac'er. Several of our business firms subscribed liberally and the cotton exchange and board of trade made hand some donations. It was decided hat work should commence on all the roads leading into the city as soon as the weather should prove favorable and they will be worked for five miles out. The old system of working the road by draft ing is n complete farce and by no means come up to the rsquirements of the limes. The idea now is to have them put in temporary good order by private bub-cripiiun, and to urge upon the next generai as.-emblv to provide for keeping tiieiu in order by a system of taxation which would bear equally upon all." If roads are made good it must be done by taxation. The present system is not only a failure, but ought to fail far its injustice. The people of Buncombe can have uood roads, and it would not cost so much as many night suppose. Thev have the power to have them if they w ill, and really wish to have them. Can't our farmers, who are vitally inter ested in this matter, get together in district and township meetings and resolve upon a system of putting our roads in good order? President Cleveland and party have concluded to stop in Charleston for sev eral hours. In announcing this fact the Atit'3 and Courier says: "The people of Charleston believe in Cleveland. Many of them regard him as the (jreatest President the United States have ever had, and all of them raspect his sincerity of purpose and his high conception ef public duty. It is certain, therefore, that his short stay here will he the occasion of a great popular demonstiation. It should be made a red letter dav in the h'6torv of the city. 'Hail io the Chief!"" In a recent issue Ilalstead, of the Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette, called President Cleveland "His Heavi ness.'' The compositor detecting the iiv.ppropriateness of the allusion printed it "His Highness." Ilalstead disclaims the erroneous print. The Chicago Herald in alluding to the mutter says: "No one is abetter judge of the President's heaviness' than t'.ie man he has sat down on.' : Over-Worked Women. For "worn-out," "run-down," debilita ted school teachers, milliners, seam stresses, housekeepers, and over-worked women generally, Dr. Peirce's Favorite Prescription is the best of all restorative tonics.

C, Feb. 23. On motion of Mr. Hoar, in considera tion of the fact that to day is a legal holiday, the morning business was dispensed with, so that the order of the senate of lait Monday should be immediately carried uut. The galleries were well filled, though not crowded. Fifty sena tors were in their seals and retained throughout the session an attitude of the most respectful attention. All the officials, clerks and pages were at their posts as on other days, but from the beginning there w::s an abstention from the pursuits of or dinary occasions, the cloak rooms were empty, the desks of the senators were free from papers, there was no writing of letters, no reading of newspapers, and no moving about the chamber, without precedent or understanding. The occasion w;is observed by all present as one com memorating an important historical event, and quiet and decorum as ot a religious ceremonial was observed. The voice of the president (pro tern) though low, was distinctly heard to the extremities of the chamber. He tend from a manu script which lay on his desk, stand ing with his hands clasped be! dud him, except as they were released from time to turn the sheets of the address. The presiding officer ( Mr. Ingalls) rising, said : On the 17th of' September. 17'Jt, George Wash inf. ton, being then at nearly tiie close of his second presi dential term, delivered the follow ing farewell address. He then read an address which was listened to with profound silence and with re specttul attention. The reading occurred in a little less than an hour and at its conclusion at 1 o'clock the Senate adjourned. The House was not in session. GCNXING K0R THE EDITOR. Mr. G. P. Black, of Stockville, came in the office yesterday with a long and dangerous-looking rifle. Anxious glances by the occupants of the office were cast at him as he deliberately deposited his "shootin' iron" in n corner. Opening his mouth, and his pocketbook as well, anxiety was changed to joy as he paid his subscription a year iu ad vance. We like io be hunted in that style. lie Hat Down. The curtain had gone down on the first act, when a bullet-headed man, who had come in ten minutes late and d'sturbed a dozen peop:e to get to a chair in the center ut the row, got up. It was time for beer. He had been in there twenty-two minutes by the watch, and was suff ering untold agonies lor a glass of lager. He started to put on his over coat, when the strange Inly at Ins side inquired: "Going out?'' " Yes'm ." "Coming back after you get a drink?" 'Y-yes'nv' ''Well, I came prepared. I have two bottles one with whisky and the other with beer. Which one will vou take?" 'V -w-what!" he stammered, as he looked down upon her with bulg ing eyes: and gradually his arms fell, his overcoat sank down on the railing in front of him, and he drop ped into his seat with a thud that jarred everybody in the row.

Speaker and Mrs. Carlisle left Washington Wednesday night lor Wichita, Kansas, where their son is dangerous!)' ill. The impression in Canada and throughout the Urdted States is that Secretary Bayard has won a great victory in his settlement of the Fisheries question. The Toronto, Canada, Mail says : "The Americans have won their case. Mr. Cayard fell heir to a question, the solution ot which had baffled several generations of Brit ish and American statesmen. Under his direction it has, at length, been bcught to a termination which must be satisfactory to every Amer ican, since it secured for the United States substantially, all that the United States has ever asked." The Empire, government organ, savs : "The grumbler will find fault with the details, hut reasonable men on both sides of the line will rejoice that a question giving rise to so much international feeling bids fair to be removed from the area of con troversy, and that the neighborly lethiiir and good will which ought to prevail between people having such intimate intercourse, will again hold sway."

The London Post's correspond ent at St. Petersburg says that Rus sia is trying to secure the neutrality of England, believing that England holds the key to the situation of her navy.
