After an illness of one week Mr. Gordon Lafayette Thrash, son of Mr' J. M. Thrash, one of our lead ing merchants in West Asheville, died Monday morning, the 2d inst. at 1.10 o'clock. He was born Feb. 8, 1870, and at the time of his death, was 18 years, one month and 12 days old. Gordon was a young man of good habits, a splendid mind and good business qualifications. Since August last he has been express messenger on the Murphy Division of the "W. N. C. It. K., which position he rilled acceptably until two weeks ago, when he resigned to accept a position as book-keeper with the Graham shoe factory. The latter place he only filled one week, since which time he has been a great sufferer from pneu monia and heart disease. He was attended by Drs. Watson, Hilfiard and .Thrash, but all1 efforts Iwre in vain to irtjty the c61d i!iAnd of death. Before his death Gordon said that he had put his trust in Jesus, and would soon be with his little sister who died of the same disease three years ago. The remains will leave here this mor ning at 8 o'clock for Hominy for interment in the family burying ground on the plantation of Solo mon Luther, derd. Important Meeting.

The County Commissioners Met in regular session yest rday. Besides routine work the board was presented with a petition, signed by a large number of citizens of Asheville praying the question of Li cense or No License be submitted to the qualifi d voters of this city on the first Monday in June next. The board adjourned until this morn ing at 10 o'clock to examine and de cide upon the object of the petition. He Cannot Compose It. Tha Wilmington Star pertinently suggests, refen ing to Mr. Vunder bilt's French cook : But the great question now is, can the Frencn 'artist" "compose" a genuino American breakfast? Can he get up good buckwheat cakes, fried sausage, ' big hominy" and corn bread? If he cannot he will be voted a failure on this side of the ' big pond." Jonah's Gourd. Our friend J. J. Cole, Esq., of Hominy, has sent us a rare speci-. men of the gourd family. It is full sixty inches long, about four inches in diameter at the largest pait, and taper off like a horn.

A Greenville dispatch of Satur day says : "The route of the Carolina, Knox ville and Western railroad has been established from here to the North Carolina line and beyond the moun tains. The route is oyer the famous Jones Gap road, along which is some of the grandest scenery in America, and on through the mag nificent groves and forests of Tran sylvania county, N. C, uassing immediately by the Hotel de Dow er. Mr. R. P. Sibley and Mr. T. C. Gower have just been over the route as far as Transylvania county, and Mr. Sibley has gone over the route to Knoxvilie. The work of grading the road is progressing as rapidly as could be expected, a lorce of 250 hands being at work on this end of th line, under Contractor Tanner, and several other contractors hr.ye large forces of hands at work at va rious yoints along the route. The engineers report that in crossing the mountains a grade of about seventy feet has been obtained, which is the lowest grade ever before known oyer the mountains. Store Clothes Ruined Him. An Atlanta dispatch says: The ppnalty of wearing store clothes in R -.bun county, Ga , is death. Some time ogo the murder of William Thomas in that county was report ed. Yesterday one of the murder ers, Joseph Hopkits, was brought to the cit3r, and he tells a curious story as to whv the murder was committed. "Thomas came cavortin' up to the church," said he, "a wearing store clothes. Us boys did not like to see him taking the sh'ne off us. So we concluded to have a little fun. We asked him to take a diink, but he was too uppity to do it. My brother threw a stone at him to see how he would run, and he run sure enough. Then we both ran after him, throwing stones after him, thinking it was fun, when sud denly he dropped down de id. If we had not been drinking we would net have done what we did. My brother is to be hung on the 11th ol May, and I am now going to the coal mines for life. I reckon i will get used to it. I will have,, to try anyhow. But I never did like a man what wore 6tore clothes." He has now gone to a place where he will not be troubled by the sight of store clothes. He Was not Playing Hookey.

Mr. Pearson in Wilmington. The Wilmington Star says : The opinion of the Star at regards the singular power of Mr. Pearson seems to be about that which is gen erally current in the city. One of our oldest pastors, in urging his people to attend the meetings, said substantially as follows last Sun day: "I have been preaching the Gospel for more than thirty years, and I have heard the most eminent ministers of this country, Mr. Moody included, and I regard Mr. Pearson as the most remarkable preacher 1 have ever heard. Icon less that his power in a pulpit is a surprise to me. I had read a number ot newspaper reporters of the man and had conversed with many who had labored with him in his meet ings; I had yet the idea that he was a devout man, remarkably familiar with the scriptures and a good strong preacher, hut I was not pepared to find him one ot the. greatest, if n -1 the greatest preacher, I have ever seen. If I were o try to analize his power I would not ascribe his strength to his learning, though he is a man of good education and good reading; nor to his logic, though he reasons as few men can; nor to his oratory, though he is an orator of no mean powers; but I would say that the elements of his succes were, first, his originality. He is original in his appearence, his voice, his illus trations, the divineness of his set mons, and in wonderful skill in in terpreting and applying the script ures. "Then, his knowledge of the Bibie is simply wondeiful, and his faith in the power of the Bible is supreme. I have never heard anv minister put such power upon the word of God as he does. "In the thinl place, he is thorough. Iv honest and thorough!' earnest. His zeal is at white heat all the time, not fussy, or specially demon strative, but sustained at a high de gree of intensity, nevertheless In hearing him, one is reminded of what John Foster said of the great philanthropist John Howard: 'His enthusiasm was so great that the limits of human nature forbade it to be less.' He has a passion for souls and longs to save sinners. But the endowment which seems to me to be the special and peculiar secret of his power is the presence of the Lord with him. He seems to be filled with the Holy Spirit. He speaks with power because he speaks in demonstration ot the Spirit. His preaching is to me a wonder and a levelation." Having thus spoken of the man, we now turn to the meetings yes terdav: At 1 1 a m., the crowd was large but hardly so great as therday be fore, because of the rain. For the same cause, Mr. Pearson refrained from preaching, and turned the ser vices into a prayer meeting. After sotne brief remarks on the efficacy of prayer, Rev. Messrs. Tolsoti, Pilchard, Hoge, and Tuttle led in prayer, with songs interspersed. The meeting last night was one ot more power and interest, perhaps, that any other up to the present time. Mr. Pearson took up the excuses which sinners make to re ceiving the Gospel. He consider, ed twelve of them, and "in the fol lowing order : "I don't believe the Bible." "There are so many diffi culties i" the Bible." "It is hard to be a Christian." "There are so many hypocrites in the churches." "Predestination," "I have no feel ing.'' "My reason is against the whole of your religion." "Ridi cule " "I am afraid it will interfere with my business " "I will wait for a convenient season." "Death Bed Repentance." 1 ne sermon was one of tremen dous moral rorce. and the inquiry room was nearly full of people, there emu perhaps twice as many peni tents as on any previous cccasion. Up to the present time some one hiinilte ' and fifty have made a pro fession of faith in Christ. Nothing Xew. "I see that some scientists think there is color in sounds," observed Ebenezer Jones. "Yes," replied Zebedee Smith; "the discovery is not new, though." "Isn't it ? " "No. The sounds a bov makes when he is punished always have a veil O ! tinge.' Pittsburq Chroncle Telegraph. Richmond College Receives a Gift. The treasurer of Richmomd College received not long ago $500 from Rev. Dr. Matthew T. Yates, of China, the first installment of $1,000 he prop ses to give to found a scho larship in the college. Saturday eve ning after the news of tue missiona ry's death was received here the second $o00 came. Dr. Yates, though a native of North Carolina, loved the Richmond College, and wrote that his gift was to be so used that the income might annually help some ministerial student whoBKftito-eontin-ue to preach after his voice was hushed. A. scholarship bearing his name will he founded. Richmond Dispatch 21st. Rev, Dr. Me Anally. We are pleased to announce that tbe above distinguished Divine is in the city, vUiting his brother-in-law, Dr. R. H. Reeves. Fifty-six years ago he preach ed in Asheville, when there was one member of his (the M. E.) chnrcb, and abwUt one hundred inhabitants. This is his first visit since he then left the city. He afterwards became editor of the Holston Methodist, and for some yeais and is now editor of the St. Louis Advocate. He preached a very able and impressive sermon in l'r. Rankin's choich Sunday evening. While the able preacher can find but few of his old Asheville acquain tances, he meets with a number who know him by reputation, and esteem him tortus great services in tne vineyard of the Master. The present prospects are of the largest yield of grain ever known in California, while the fruit output will also be larger than any previous year.

Disordered hver is misery. Indigestion is a foe to good nature. The human digestive apparatus is one of the most complicated and wonderful things in existence. It is easily put out of order. Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food, bad cookery, mental worry, late hours, irregular habits, and many other things which ought not to be, have made the American people a nation of dyspeptics. But Green's August Flower has done a wonderful work in reforming this sad business and making the American peo ple so healthy that tbey can enjoy their meals and be happy. Itemember: .No happiness without health. But Green's August Flower brings health and happiness to the dyspeptic. Ask your druggist for a bottle. Seyenty-five cents. "COLD WEATHER OBSERVA TIONS." When they show their teeth and snarl, and talk ugly about the "Rack et Store" and its goods, you may know we have touched them in a raw spot. My brothers, we are going to hurt your feelings worse in the near future than we ever have before. We are going to enlarge our stock and to sell more and better bargains than heretofore, and that is saying much, because our prices, quality consider ed, have never been matched by any other merchant in the city. We would much prefer for you to allow us to sell our goods in our own way, as we do you. Bless you, we don't advertise any of you. by abusing you, but whether you abuse us and our goods or not matters little. We have been North and bought a rousing big stock, am. BARGAINS and in each and every case we are going to sell bar gains. To buyers (and they are the ones ice came to Asheville to serve) we say pay no attention to any talk about the "Racket" and the "Rack et's goods." You can buy goods of us cheaper than anywhere else in Asheville. Judge for yourselccs; if the quality and price don't suit you , don't buy. In new goods we have Canton Flannels, bleached and un bleached, colored and white, Double Faced Plush, beautiful, Garnet, Old Gold, and blue. Sue them and price them. Scrim in cream, white and col ors, Nottingham Lace, made up and by the yard, in fact the cheapest and best assortment of curtain material we have ever had. Hemp Carpeting at 19c, priced at 25c. elsewhere, bet ter grades up to 30c. per yard,apret ty piece of Stair Carpet for 24c. per yard. Same quality is priced else where at 35c.

The PAST .PRESENT A1STD FTTTFHE. About seven years aao we came to Asheville and engaged in the Grocery Trade iu a small way, believing that by strict attention to business, BUYING the BEST GOODS kou CASH and selling at a JVfil jRnoru and by honorable and upright dealing, that we could succeed in establishing a business here. It is very gratifying to us at thi? date to be able to state that our expectations have been more than realized, and it is with no manner of boasting, but with thankful gratification that we to-day claim to have the Largest Grocery Trade in Western Vorlt Car olina, and one of the largest in the State. One result of the increased business is that we have been able each year, to buy our goods at closer figures, until to day we find ourselves buying a large proportion of our goods delivered in Asheville at same prices paid by jobbers in the large cities. Our tradft for 1887 was about 20 per cent larger than any preceeding year,and in mapping out a campaign FOl 1888, tee have decided to grive you ttr benefit of the difference we save in our purchases, and thin means a saving to you of from 15 to 25 per cent. In doi ng th is, we are not cutting prices to hurt any body, but sell you these goods at the same per cent, we formerly did, 9 The difference being the amount tee save in buying. To show how this works, we will call your attention to the following prices and let figures talk aichile : Standard Granulated Sugar 12 lbs. for$1.00 tjonee v. " 14 " " 1.00 Yellow C.
