A party from Marlon, where some of the Churches have been hold. ing prayer meetings for the puccess of the Asheville meeting, a'so attended.

It is a looking foirwarl to that day when the feet of our Saviour, as He returns from the skies, shall stand upon the Mount of Olives, and is it not wonder ful to thing about? You remember that in the New Testament, in Acts I. 9, 10, 11, we read these words, 'And when He had spoken these things.

No clergy man, priest or archbishop officiated as the intermediary between heaven and earth. Here the emperor himself Is su preme.

From the tabulated and counted, but by the time the announcements were made at the various precincts the news flashed over the city and those who had labored long and loyally were pleased beyond expression that the work had been successful and that Asheville was to have a new High school; that the money due on the Hill Street colored school would be paid and that Improvements badly needed would be made on the other schools of the city.
