HOME AND LOAN ASSOCIATION.
A New Scries of Stock to be Es
tablished. The Asheville Home and Loan
Association have concluded to start
a new series of stock. The past
record of the association is splenkid.
It shows a net interest of ten per
cent for the year. This on the
small numberof shares. To double
the number of shares would add
but little, it any, to the expense, and
the interest would be even greater
than the past two years. Any one
can compare this with the amount
he would get in a savings bank and
see the wonderful difference. Be
sides this the association is of incal
culable benefit to the c'.ty in that it
furnishes means far the building of
homes. Tho money is lent on long
time at 8 per cent. Any stockhol
der is entitled to borrow money to
the amount of his stock, in the or
der: of application. There tan be
no .oetter investment to the msn
who wisaesto piacemoay at ius

The advaatages offered by tho as

are e.-pecially good.

Crowd at Hendersonville.

Our friend N. P. Chededter, Esq..
of this city, yesterday addressdd a

chibi, of Henderson county, at Hen

speech, as the following telegram
will show
Hendersonville, Oct. 5.
To the Citizen : Hon. N. P. Ched
ester, of Ashevllle, delivered the
champion speech of the campaign
in our town to-day. A tremendous
crowd had gathered here from all
ovr the county, and everybody who
heard him says that he told more
about radicalism and its sins than
has been heard in this county in
ten yeare. " Everybody was de
lighted, and democracy was put on
a safer and surer footing in Hender
son by the speech he made here to
day. In truth, Chedester'a speech
set Henderson -county on fire to
day. One old-line republican
iaid after the speech : " "Cbed is a
good one, ain't he?" We think if
one more such speech' is made in
-the county there will be no repub
jiciin party lelt in HendersoD, ex
cept those who are republicans for
office only. Keep the ball rolling,

larks f Progres-
In a recent visit to tranklin we
found marks of progressive im
provement, slow but sure, and very
decided.
The streets and sidewalks are in
good condition, and at night there
is a very brilliant array of gasoline I
lamps, giving the the town finer
illumination - than any of
similar population in the State. With
in a few years past a number of
handsome brick stores have been
built on the mun street, and in
several portions of the town hand
some private dwellings have been
added. Within the past two years
an Episcopal church and a large
Academy building have been erect
ed on the crest of the ridge in the
rear of the main streets, giving com

Franklin is noted.
Macon county is a fine one. It
s remarkably so in population. The
foundation was well laid in morali
ty, inteligence, respect for law, in
all the essentials ot good citizenship.
The early settlers were largely men
of character, men ot education, and
of energy; and the impress of their
good qualities is strongly marked
to thi. day. Their judiciousness
was exhibited in the selection of
new homes, sought soon after the I
extinguishment ot the Indian titles. I
With the exception ot the South
end the county is girdled with
mountains of majestic height and
graceful form; in'ermediatly it
presents an attraction of hill and
valley, the mountains ot each side
ot the Tennessee rever, which flows
through the centre ot the county,
tt)iing -dowu. numerous, streams,
each margined with its broad and
fertile .valleys. For a mountain I
county, there is a large proportion I
of arable land, suitable for all the
grains anJ grasses, all ot which are
grown in great luxuriance. The
abundauce of these conduces the
profitable faising of horses, mules,
cattle, sheep and hogs. -To artift-
cial pasturage or forage may be ad-
ded an unlimited mountain range,
Fine timber abounds, and the min-
eral wealth is without doubt great,
though developed only in the abun
dant mica and corundum deposits.

At last the Masonic Fraternity are
to have a temple of their own, an
edifice worthy of an order that goes J
back to the days of King Selomon,
perhaps farther .till, to the days
j -i . ,
"oruereu cioae upon tne nooa;
t events far enough to have en-
veloped masonry in a sacred mys-
terv and attaL-h to it the veneration
of civilized man. Its mission is
charity, and its pathway is etrown
with the blessings of relieved suf
fering.
The order here is a flourishing
one, and embraces among its mem-
he's, worthT intelligence andTvealtlr; :
and it is animated by pride in its
own weliare and public spirit for
that of the community. It could
make no more conspicuous evidence
of its interest in the community
than in the erection of a hall, a
monument of its tasta, libsrality and
public spirit.
And in connection with its pur-
pose, we take pleasure in publishing
the following:
