A ROMANTIC MARRIAGE -
Was
that Celebrated at
Church Yesterday.
Trinity
A marriage that savors of ro
mance took place' at Trinity Episco
pal church in this city yestetday
morning. The high contracting
parties were Mr. C. N. F"eatherston,
Rome, Ga., and Miss S. E. Jones, of
Selma, Ala. Rev. Dr. J. Buxton
was the officiating- clergyman, and
the groom was attended by bis best
man, Mr. W. VV. Brooks, of Rome
Ga. Miss Jones was given away at
the altar rail by her mother, Mrs.
E. Rixey, of Selma, Ala.; and the
marriage was witnessed by a few
friends only of the bride and
groom. Alter the ceremony Had
been performed the bridal party en
tered carriages and were driven to
the Battery Park hotel, where they
will spend several weeks. It seems
that about three years ago Mr.
Featherston met Miss Jones at the
famous Whito Sulphur Springs at
Waynesville, and lout his heart to
her whom yesterday was made his
wife. They have regularly met.
every season since their acquain
tance began, either at Asheville or
Waynesville, and the same old, old
story has been told and retold be
neath the Bkies of Western North
Carolina, beside its gentle, purling
brooks, and amid its beautuul.
weird and romantic scenery. A
more propitious spot in all this
world for love to grow and riDen in
perfected bliss, cannot be found,
than in our own bright and beauti
fal sky land. May the skies beneath
which they shall hereafter live be as
bright and cloudless as were those
above them yesterday, and may
their yisits to our God-favored sec
tion, be repeated each season for
many years to come.
HE STOLE CHICKENS.
And is Now in Jail Awaiting Trial
for the Offense.
William Baskill is a coal-black
negro with an underlip like unto an
an elephant's ear, and hails from
Augusta, Ga. William is in trouble
and the I trceny of twelve chickens
id the cause of all his woe.
It seems that Capt. I. V. Smith,
who resides on South Main street,
has a peculiar breed of fowls, in
which he takes much pride, and
during his absence from the city a
a colored servant guards these fowls
with jealous care.
On Sunday morning, af er sitting
up nearly all ot baturday night,
this keeper ol therboBt went-to the
fowl-house and discovered that the
lock had been picked and twelve of
the finest chickens in the coop gone.
He also discovered a number of
tracks leading from the coop, which
he followed, and led to the residence
of the aforesaid William. William,
therefore, was adjudged guilty at
once. Further developments showed
that William had deposited an un
usual quantity of fowl heads and
feet in a eink near the prisoner's
house which corresponded mi
nutely with the color, size, etc.. of
Capt. Smith's chickens when alive.
A warrant wa at once sworn out
before Justice Malone and William

committed Baskill to jail in default
of a 20O bail bond for his appear

court for thi3 county.
Travelers, Attend.
We have received a number of
' folders" Irom some friend connected
with the R. & D. system setting
forth schedules &c The schedules
having been changed recitly, the
tables are useless, with the very im
portant exceptionthat they set forth
with great precision the wide ex
tent of the system with all its rami
fications. One of the "folders" will
be useful throughout the season. It
relates to "the summer houses on
the Piedmont Air Line." It is very
full, very minute; and with the ex
ception of some mis-spelled names,
is entirely accurate. All the hotels
and boarding houses, in Western
North Carolina from Salisbury to
Dillsboro, and also as far as Hot
Springs; and also along the main
line, are given together with their
capacity, their distance from the
station, the mode bv which reached
and also the postofiice address. We
find seven hotels in or near Ashe
ville, and twenty-one boarding
houses; five hotels at Henderson
ville, six hotels and seven boarding
housos at Way nes ville, three hotels
and three boarding houses at Hot
Springs. The whole forms a useful,
if not a perfect guide. Those whose
houses are omitted, are those who
have not given the information
sought for.

Death of Allan Turner Davidson Jr.
We announce with great sadness
the death of our 3'oung friend which
occurred yesterday at his father's
residence o i Baird street. Allan
was born on Valley River, Cherokee
county, in Jane 18G1 The family
removed - to this city about
i868, and young Allan was placed
at school under that sterling man
and instructor, the revered Steven
Lee, who prepared him for the Uni
versity of the State, at which he
graduated with distinction in 1SS2.
In January, 1883, he removed to
Texas where two brothers had pre
ceded him, and located in Galves
ton, devoting himself to school
teaching for three years, in the
mean time preparing himself f r
the practice of law. After obtain
ing license he removed to Abiline,
that State, where he remained a
year, then went to the Pan Han
dle section and aided in locating
and establishing therein tha county
or rotter; ana it was while lie was
superintending
the surveying
ol lands in
some clients thjs
he contracted the
and location
this section for
past March that
cold which eventuated ia his death
yesterday morning at 8 o'clock.
Mr. Davidson was a young man
ot decided ability and much prom
ise; was lull ot spirit and enthusias
tic in temperament, and ms.de
friends rapidly whom -he held
closely. His prospects. ioJ,he .State,
of his adoption were very encourag
ing to himself, and gratifying to his
friends. His death is certaioly a
very sad one, a very deep affliction
t his family, and a source ot sincere
regret to his friends. His funeral
will take place thi3 morning at 10
o'clock at the Church Street Metho
dist church, and the remains will
be interred in Riverside Cemetery.
A Native Claret.
Mr. S. M. Stevens, who lives on
Hominy creek, a few miles west,
or southwest, of Asheville, has
given us for trial a bottle of claret
wine of his own make. He calls
it a claret ; and it comes more
nearly that favored French wine
than anything else. But it is an
American wine, with its own char
acteristics, which we would pre
fer to see recognized rather than
accept it as an imitation of a for
eign favorite. Mr. Stevens' wine
is of bright claret color, with the
dryness appropriate to that wine,
and with somewhat more body
and strength than the French
wine. The alcoholic principle is
increased by the addition of a
moderate quantity of purified su
gar. As a table wine it will be
agreeable to admirers of such
wine, and as its perfect purity is
unquestionable, it ought to be
preferred. Used in the form of
sangaree, it makes a deligtful, in
nocent, healthful summer bever
age, for which use we recommend
it.
Mr. Stevens informs us that this
wine is made from the grape
known as Ironclad, one of the
family from which the Concord
comes. It was obtained from the
vineyard of Mr. Pearson, a noted
vigneron of New Jersey. Mr.
Stevens has a thorough knowl
edge of viticulture acquired in
France, and ripened by his own
experience. He is devoting him
self to the culture of the grape,
has a fine vineyard to which he
makes constant additions ; and at
no distant day, when the yield of
his vines justifies it, will engage
in the manufacture of wine. This
is the sensible .adaptation , of the
very peculiar conditions of cli
mate, soil and locality which de
monstrate in advance the success
of such adventure. Nature . did
not plant the Catawba grape in
Buncombe county, nor make it
the birthplace of so noted a grape
without an object. Those are
wise who read the lesson aright,

Mr. AV. A. Patton's Untimely Death
Yesterday.
Yesterday afternoon about four
o'clock, a messenger came to the
city from the swimming place at
the French Broad river, in rear

Mr. "William Alonzo Patton, a
young white man, well-known
in this city, had been drowned
while bathing, and also stating
that his body could not be found.
A large crowd of people at once
went to the scene of the drown
ing, and after a few unsuccessful
attempts the body of the unfortu
nate young man was discovered
within fifty yards of the place
where he entered the river. He
was brought to tho bank and at
tempts were made fto resuscitate,

military honors by the Asheville

Within Our Gates
During the next three months, we
estimate that there will be fifteen thous
and people. This is estimating. Our
present population at ten thousand, to
which we add live thousand visitors that
we expect to be here and at near by
hotels and boarding houses. The ques
tion arises how are we to feed this
multitude T
That is a very easy question to answer,
provided you have the provisionson hand.
But suppose we should be visited this
summer with a blizzard, such as they
had in New York last winter, could we
pull through ?
Well we hardly ever have snowstorms
here at this season sure enough to stop
the wheels of cimmerce, but you need
not be'surprised to 6ee our prices go a
great deal lower than the lowest point
registered by tho thermometer during
the blizzard last winter.
