extended inspeetion of the sanitary con
dition of ABlievule, and finds it to be in
a more eatisiactory slate t nan nasiie. n
ior several years. Very gratifying anu
satisfactory to nianv interested on the
8 .bject. It is to be hopedjche work of in
apt ctiou will be continued until every
section of thecity has been made to real
ize the feet that decency must he ob
served and public interests ret-pected.
Uur city authorities we know aro
alive to the importance of sanitary viai
lante and will do all in their power for
the health, reputation and advancement
ot Asbevuie. -Let every citizen willingly
lend a helninehand. and nut tbq citv in
order for the comfort of citizens and to

until Asheville shall enjoy the merited
reputation of beingthe best kept city and

RACKET STORE ITEMS.
We invite the attention of the peo
ple to the fact that we continue to re
ceive new goods. Barred Muslins,
Lawns, a new lot of Hamburgs, Tor
chons, Corsets, Kid Gloves and a job
iu ladies' Dongola Kid Shoes at S2.4 i

match for the price. Children's and
Misses' School Shoes ingreat variety,
at prices which always sell them. A
full line of all the standard novels al
1 2c. per volume, 2oc. elsewhere. A
new lot of Mats, Rugs and Hassocks,
while our stock of household using
things is kept complete, with additions
made daily in all the labor saving and
convenient utensils we can find.
Cheap Pencils ! well, you would
think so if you could, sec the lot we
have in store. One dozen or one thou
sand dozen, just as many as you
want, at fi CTS. PER DOZEN. Our
price is less than nine-tenths oi the
merchants in Asheville paid for the
same pencils at wholesale. We are
fortunate in being connected with a
house that has ample capital to hunt
up and buy everything that the peo
ple want, wherever it can be bought be
low its market value. A lot of Men's
Fur JQts, fne goods, just in,are an
examine of our facilities for getting
goods under the market, only one or
two of a style, wc are selling them at
98c. to S1.58 each, and we could not
113' them in the regular way under
821 per dozen. We ask doubters to
call and examine them. They were
sent to us as a job. We did not know
they had them, but knowing that we
can place bargains, they sent them to
us. Our Headquarters never get
hold of a particularly good thing witu
out sending us a part of it. Our store
has lost none of its prestige as the
Bargain Store of Asheville, and we
contemplate putting in such a spring
and summer stock as will show our
appreciation of past favors. We can
show enquirers beyond the shadow of
a doubt that we (through our connec
tion with No. 46C Broadway, N. Y.)
possess facilities for getting goods
unequaled by any other store in
Asheville, and we guarantee that we
can, and will, undersell any house in
town upon all lines except domestic
goods bought in this State, which one
man with money can buy as cheaply
as another. Come and see our goods,
and learn our prices ; by this means
satisfy yourselves. Don't buy of us
unless price and quality suit. We have
placed a larger order for our Woven
Corset, which has been so highly
praised, and which at SGe. is the best
value wc have ever seen in a corset.
We shall continue to make a leader of
it until we find something we regard
as better. W e beg the ladies not to
buy a high-priced corset until they
have compared it with this corset.
V ery respectfully, &c,
