Shelbt, Oct 30, 1888.
Tohn C. Bostic .-The Wray block,
with all the contents, burned last
night Insurance en contents $10,
000. None on building.
E. H. Weight.
Mr. Bestic informs us that the
block consisted of four two story
brick buildings which were occupied
as stores and printing establishments.
The value of the buildings was es
timated at $15,000, and of the stock
of goods $20,000.
Among the property destroyed we
learn with much regret was that of
the Aurora office. The Aurora was
an ably conducted Democratic paper,
and was remarkable among the week
lies of the State for its good typo
graphy and general neatness. We
hope our friend will be on foot again
soon.
A job printing establishment in
the same block was also destroyed,
but we know nothing of its ownership.
'The iattlo Giant of the Mountains"
The Negro World, a newspaper
published and edited by negroes in
Knoxville, contains the following
hair-lifting statement .
"From a private letter from a gen
tleman ot Leicester, N. C , who is
acquainted with the pob tics of that
section states that the outlook for
republican success is encouraging,
especially in Buncombe county
where Hon. L. N. Wells is making
it so hot for the enemy that they
have been driven from the stump in
utter dismay. Mr. Wells is the lit
tle giant of the mountains and the
hope of the republican party of that
section. We congratulate, hi tn upon.
th success he is making in the can
vas." We assure this colored brothen
and sympathizer of the "little giant
of the mountains" tnat at last ac
counts Mr. Tom Candler was still
on the stump greatly to the "dis
may" of the said giant
Outlook for Florida.
The appearance of the yellow
fever with marked virulence in En
terprise, canford, Baldwin and
other points in Florida at a season
when sharp frosts have visited the
Carolinas and other Southerh points
is bad omen for the future of Flotw
r'a. It argues that the disease has
established .a permanent foot-hold
n that section, that it has become
endemic, and that at no season of
the year can there be absolute as
surance of immunity to the
visitor or the settler. The charm
ot the "Land of Flowers" is dis
sipated. The romance of its deli
cious balmy atmosphere, of its per
ennial wealth of bloom, of its golden
orange groves, has rude over-throw
in the even present challenge cf
pestilence and death. A rude shock
is given to enterprise, and the gilded
fortunes that awaited the hand of
indolent industry, luxuriously reach
ing forth for rewards wreathed
with flowers or gemmed with fruits,
finds itself entangled in the rude
grasp of art enemy totally unex
pected, and with a terror in its vi
sage so fearful as to 'drive back in
affright all but. those bold spirits
who, throughout all time have
V raved, and will brave, all in the
search for gold. Fortunes will al
ways" beU sought in - .Florida; but
hardly 'ever again,, health. It is not
an illusion that is dispelled. . The
life giving principle of Florida cli
mate was; really something to be
enjoyed, something' to bring sub
stantial good-.to the well and to the
invalid.
It " appears to be all over now,
Winter visitors must look elsewhere
for healtn and for pleasures associ
ated with health. For Florida, we
offer them the - vigorous, bracing,
dry climate of the mountains, and
we invite them to 'Asheville to en
jov these in connection with the
