BOWMAN'S LECTURE, Last of the Seriesin This Oity De livered Last Night. ; A large sized audience, ineluding many ladies, was' present at the court house, last evening to hear PtoL Bowmans last lec ture. " . .' . . A brief summary of the speaker's re marks is as follows: .'. "Why do those evils over widen we nave no control exist, those natural evils which give us such sorrow, etc. Were it not for the darkness Of the night our eyes would never have beheld the glories of the heavens. ' Those evis which come from human condufct, which come from human purpose are the real evil3, why are they so? It is because they are not sanctified and are degrading to the human soul. . There is but one human . will. . Those evils which come upon us Dy constitutional develop ment and over which we have no control and do not bring upon ourselves, are 1m aginary evils. The natural and apparent evils come from the infinite pur pose of duty, and is .at. part of the infiintely wise plan. Universe means unit, and it would not be a universe -unless it wa for this unit; and right here is the most .rational .theory of a great universal spirit." This - unity is splendid thoughtvvfor the uplifting of the human soul. Extend this thought of u nity and the human mind In its most ra itional ' theory "will reach the great inflini te and in these two . we have the great, evo lutionary system of the whole universe." 'AtTthe close of the lecture a subscrip tion, was taken andMr. E. T. garter spoke in :3)ehalf . of Prof. Bowmans work and asked that a liberal contrkhutioa be gven. . Prof. Bowman made a few 93rief remarks 1 concerning ais stay nere, ani siaiea mai it had been exceedingly pleasant. He said that he particularly wan,td to thank the newspapers "of Asheville for giving such . correct reports of his lectures and without attempt to misrepresent him. Prof. Bowman leaves iMonday afternoon and lectures in Marshall that evening. He J which he ' goes to his" home inf California, expecting to reach .there by. the 'Christmas E TWELVE TEMPTATIONS This well known attraction which cornea to -the Grand opera house Monday evening, is thus spoken of by the Chicago Tribune: "At the "Haymarket last evening a pro duction of spectacular, very pretentious, was given to the patrons of this west side theatre. , It was thefifth edition of Chas. H. Yale's dranratic. -pantomimic and -ballets spectacle. Since presented here last, the .piece has undergone feucb... a thorough, rejuvenation that one can . scarcely recog nize it in its new dress. The story has been changed,. ias also the pantomimic characters, the ballets, the specialties and the scenery. The costumes were rich and tasteful; the songs original and catchy. while the machinery and mechanical con trivances were very effective. There is no question :bu-t what " the Haymarket is in for one of its largest. weeks, of the season. CHRISTMAS NOTES.

Night at the Court House-1 ' t When, the Columbian Exposition was held in CM'oago, in 1893, some of the Christian people of thatjcity coneeived this idea that an exposition of the progress of the world since the discovery of America would not be conrpiete ;unless there should be some exhibition of the advance made in spirit ual things as: well as in those that axe material, and ; with this conviction they organized what is known as the Parlia ment of Religions. To this great assem'bly were imvited rep resentatives of every religion practiced in the world, and isome represfintatives of all the various denominations of Christians. A great number came from all carts of the world, and for many days; the xrreat hall of Columbus' was crowded by thous ands of men and women to; hear from these various speakers what they believed and why they believed it. We rememher that on the cart of some American Christians,: and notalbly of the churchmeh of England, there was opposi tion to .the whole enterprise, and almost a refusal to take any part in it. Yet, Chris tianity was represented, ably represented. fcy Roman Catholic oiahops and priests, ana by different divines of other Christian Communions. Bishop Dudley of Kentucky, was invited to deliver an address-upon '-The Historic Christ," and In spite of the opposition of many oi nis brethren, felt constrained to do it. , ." This address Bishop Dudley is ,to deliver in the court house next IMonday evening, at 8 o'clock, and we understand will pre face it with, some account of the Parlia ment and of the reasons which compelled ms -aiLenaance. -We believe .that our citizen will ""toe in terested and profitted ; "by. attending, and they can at the same timeaid a eood work. as the proceeds of the lecture are to be given to the Woman's Guild of Trinity parish. - Tickets may he had at J. iH: JDaw's, 35 Patton avenue; Carmichaers drug store: miss napman s stuoio, Haywood street, ana tne woman Exchange, church street.

Its .Growing Importance in Western North Carolina. One of the industries - of Western North Carolina which is destined in the near fu ture to receive deserved attention,, is that of fruit growing. No sectlo nof the south is "better adapted to the growth of fine fruits than this. ; V " . Some years ago the late Capt. !Natt At kinson of this county and Riley Neil of Yancey county, realizing the advantages of Western Noith Carolina for the growth of aPilos and other fruits, took the initiative step in the growth 11 of the finest varieties of apples, peachs and grapes. Their ef fort in North Carolina is furnishing the southern markets with an abundant sup ply of the choicest shipping apples. In Asheville there are several shippers, and not less than 50,000 bushels have been shipped from this locality to Georgia, Flor ida and otiier southern points. One firm alcr.e' in Asheville, MdConnell Bros., ship- pel about twenty thousand bushels I and have large orders ahead.1 From every shipping point in Haywood, Heiw-trsonville, Transylvania and MoDow- i ell cour. ties large orders are helng filled to supply the holiday trade. Wagon loads are. being received daily in AHtvii; and find ready sale lo shippers, purchasable prices ranging from 30 cenis to 75 cents per bushel. The following varieties are choice' and best adapted to shipment: The Spitzber- gen, limbertwig, winesap, Ben Davis, buff, Stine, hoover, pippin, 'bell flower and green ing. The adapting; of this section for the growth of fruit is fast being realized and the day is not far distant when .Western North Carolina fruits will occupy the most prominent place in the markets of the south. .
