Red headed ffirls use for their hair Jeid comb, so as to make the hair turn nubimi. Ladies now adays lift up one side of their dresses and let the other side drag in the mud. A Gkeksback Club is being organ ized in Fair View township, this county. Count us in, Brethren. Our friends in Qu&llatbwn, Jackson county, complain of not getting the Citizen regularly. We hope post-masters and route agents will please attend to this. Northern healtk-seekcrs ar already coming South for the Spring and Sum mer. Our hotels and boarding-houses are beginning to clean up for spring, and all will soon be gay as a butterfly, bright as a Queen, about Ashevdle. Weare pleased to announce to the truny friends of Mr. S. M. Banks, that he is improving, and will, " if no unfore seen change takes place, soon be home. He Is now in Richmond, in the hands of the ablest surgeons of that city, who liave no doubts of his complete recovery. pov. Vance arrived in town Tuesday evening, called here by the sudden ill ness of his mother. We are gratified to state, however, that Mrs. Vance is bet ter, and now strong hopes are entertain ed of her recovery, The Eastern Division. Hon. J. L. Robinson passed through Tuesday, en- route home from the annual meeting of the board of directors of the above road, held Monday at Henry. The same offi cers were re-elected, save the master machinest, but we failed to learn who was chosen. We hope soon to see the re portof President Wilson. 8AU parties interested will remem ber, that all obituary aud marriage noti ces not exceeding ten lines will be In serted in the Citizen free. For every line above tenioe tails per line will be charged. There will be no deviation from this rule. Suicide Is not more sinful than neglec ting a cough. For only 24 cents you tan buy a bottle of Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup and be saved from death. The East La Porte School. Tins school, located in Jackson comity, is, we arc glad to learn, doing well un der Prof. A. M. Dawson as Principal, with W. II. Hughes, Esq., and Rev. R. gi',n us assistants. There arc about 90 students in attendance the present session. The Shout Walking Dress. The Philadelphia Tunes, in its lashiou notes, says of short dresses this season; "Aa usual, a decided effort will be made o introduce the tensihie short walking-dress which Is .worn abroad- In Paris a train Is never seen on the pave ment, and why American women1 cling si persistently to them it is not easy to divine. In the house and for carriage wear they are graceful and elegant, but their moet infatuated devotee must ac knowledge, them out of place oi. a crow- led thoroughfaiv. One hand is con stantly occupied in holding the train up, and even then it is seldom that the work is cliectually done. But all this ud tar more has been said again and again, each time as vainly as before." Thb Clay County Tragedy Illus trated. Hie Charlotte Obttreer gives the latest phase of the "Clay County rragedy" to which we referred last week. Ha vs that paper : "The New York National Police Ga- zettc has arrived with the -alleged i;lay county (Nr. C) tragedy fully illustrated. There is the bride pleading with the en raged husband to sol'ti ii his wrath against her former lover, and then again there is the picture ot the shooting ot the young man by the"4inshand, while the voting wife faints in the background Very sensational, surely, but unfortu nately not true. The whole affair erves to show where a large number of the tragedies which are pictured in the papers every week come lroni. An en terprising and unscrupulous quill dri ver luauulaclures the story, locates it in some far ott'ont-of the-way place in the Soifth where the people are as law abiding as any on the face of the earth, aud the next week it comes out illustra ted to the minutest particular." Redmond the Outlaw. From the Greenville (S- C) Kew$ of the 14th we learn : "Further accounts of the raid of Red mond in Pickens a few days ago corrob orate the statement i.i yesterday's News, except as to the number of prisoners re leased, 'which was only 3, instead of 10. Deputy Collector .lillson who returned from Ealey Station yesterday morning, says that Redmond's band was, jn day before yesterday divided into two squads of 16 and 'JO men. and were making dili gent search tor the revenue officers Hod man and Gary with the announced in tention of killing them on sight, out tnc revenue men had succeeded in keeping out of Redmond's way. Redmond ami band it is now believed, have returned to their haunts in the mountains. "There are, we believe, several re wards offered for the capture of Red mond; one by the United titates gov ernment; another by the Governor of X. Carolina;the amounts we do not know " This man seems to hide about the State line in Transylvania, is a very desperate character, and should be cap tured. It is only a question of tune, however, Providence only permits such criminals to flourish for a season. We hope soon to chronicle his arrest. ASHEVILLE hig is from District. The Dr. Kennedy, follow- presid ing elder of this district, which recently nmicared in the Ilolstou Methodist. It a z is under date of the 6th Inst : "Since writing you last, I have re ceived communications from Bio. C.

So far. 30 conversions: mauv backsliders reclaimed ; and the altar crowded with penitents. The meeting still goes on 1 left Bro. J. U. W amulet-, of the Van derbilt Missiou, assisting Bro.

Atkins id always wide awake to the interests of tile Hour, lie wans lor no special iwu sions. but makes them. It rejoices niv heart to hear ot so mauv triumphant victories for Jesus the captain and Priuce of our salvation, all over our conference. I trust and tira that there uiav be uiaov more throughout the realm of Southern Meth odism. Our church needs a fresh and all pervading baptism of the Holy Ghost to qualify it for the emergencies oi the present crisis. At Home. w arc pleased to see our young friend Dr. W. 1. Hilliard at home, looking very well, and a fully commissioned d'c!ple of Esculapius. We sincerelywisu hiru all success and distinction in the noble prvicssiou ne has chosen. The New Depot. A near righted gentleman seing Mr. Williams new sign "Book Store and News Depot," omitted to put the s to new, and rend it Xeio Depot, whereupon he exclaimed. "Well, they have settled the depot ques tion have they? and put, it riht in town. That's good." That nns good. ( The New Souk Storm What Ashe- ville has long sadly needed Mr. C. M. Williams has just ojMtned, a Book-store, and News Emporium, where will lie kept a good line of books, stationery, the latest periodicals, and goods usually found In such stores.

The Power of Littles. Twelve miles North-wectof AsbeviUe and with in three miles of the famous Alexander Hotel on the French Broad river,on one of the highest hills in the neighborhood, stands the beautiful and com fort aide church known as Red Oak Presbyterian Church. It is completely furnished, seated &c, and is said to be the best church-building outside of Asheville, in Buncombe county. This Church was built a few years ago by dollar contribu tions, received from kind friends living in as many as nine States in the Union, and contributed in less than one year from the time the first appeal (through the church papers) was made. There is a moral which adorns this tale, to which e would specially invite attention. Why cannot any neighborhood of any Importance do the same thing, and thus provide preaching for their families so convenient that all could attend relig ious services? Our attention has been called to this enterprise by being shown a most ele gant silver communion service recently prescnteu to tins cnurcu oy ev. ueo Suinmev and his good wife. Mr. Sum mey is now Uie Jci pastor of the Ninth Screct Presbyterian Church, Covingtou, Kv.. who was mainly instrument; in organizing the congregation at Red Oak. and to him. and his father, our ex cedent mayor, is due the credit of this dollar enterprise. Rev. Mr. Summey, can't forget his first love, and from his far off Kentucky home remembers with warmth and affection those mountain people among whom he was born aud raised. We are very sure that the beau tiful and appropriate gift will be receiv ed by the members ol ueu uaK uitircn with feeiings of the siuccrest affection and appreciation. Danville Tobacco Warehouses. We invite attention to the following warehouses, whose advertisemeuts ap pear in this issue of the Citizen : Pace Brothers A Co., whose Star Warehouse has already won for itself most enviable reputation, is even better than ever. These gentlemen have done well for many of our planters of our sec tion, and deserve all the patronage they can cet. Planter's Warehouse, at whose head is that indefatigible and popular gentle- uiau Col. J. r. Neal, Uotdsits own witn the foremost. Col. X. Is assiduous in his attentions to his business, and hav ing inherited great talent lor his bust ness is winning conspicuous success. Mr. W. P. Graves, the veteran Ware houseman of the city, keeps full abreast with the bustle and vim of the times, aud Graves' Warehouse Is but another name for the fairest dealing and most satisfactory results. Messrs. Keen. Poindexter & Co., of the Public Warehouse, are practical to bacco raiser and handlers, and though comparatively recently established ranks with the best. The day before we were in their house they sold soma tobacco for Mr. T. C M. Had, of Mc Dowell, for 62, 44, 42, 22J cents per Dound respectively. We unhesitatingly commend each aud all of these gentlemen to our readers. The W. N. C. Railroad. The Ral eigh Atr of Sunday says : Much interest is kit by the people of Ihe Slate in the progress ot the work on the Western Road to Abbeville. The iand-slidcs and snows have obstructed the track so much that the labor of the force at work has been almost entirely occupied m their removal. I he engin eers think that the t-ars will be able to tin to the summit of the motiutain. but lot through the tunnel, by the 15th of June. The grading from the top to Asheville is light and the track will pliobably beUul to Asheville before the completion of the tunnel " Impbotembsis Mr. J. P. Sawyer is having his store building handsomely mbtlllshed. Mr. G. A. Hughes superin tending. Messrs. Pleasant, Allen, Millis & Co. are adding a double story section to their store. Mr. J. L. Smathtis' residence ap proaches completion. Mr. N. P. Chedister is breaking ground on ration Avenue for a rcsi dene, . The Com t-bottse is being re-eovered with tin- Very cheap and handxome Job Work iKMiig done at the CITIZEN r.tilce. The Colored school, under the control of Rev. Mr. Berry, colored, a minister of the Episcopal church, is de cidedly creditable to the teacher, the church which sustains it, and specially tlie colored children who are its pupils- In company with Revs. Dr. Buxton and Mr. Buei, and Mayor butnmey we attended the recent semi-annual exami nation, aud heartily Join in the agree able surprise expressed by all in the advancement and thorough training of these colored children. They are under good discipline, and certainly have been well instructed, flio recitations in geog i... :.... .!,. ,. in., rapny, uiiin;tr, nil iuiiuwi.ii;, njiciun, Vilnius, aim tut; nn::iim-ii3 vi iiiui, needle-wwrk, &c, were unusually credi itablc. It was suggested, and Mr. Berry agreed, to repeat this examination, and conduct the same in the Courthouse or Town Hall, aud invite our white citi zens lo attend and witness what is be ing done for the advancement, and im provement oi me eoioreii race in our midst. And this is a matter every good citizen should feel an interest in the neirm constitutes a very large and im portant element in our social aud polit- ieal government, and the more he can . 11 - be elevated, educated, ana morally anil religiously educated, the better citizen he becomes, the more valuable in all res- pects will be his status. But we have another, greaier reason, for desiring as many ol our white citi zen to witness this examination as pos sible, and that is to arouse them to the nainful realization of the efforts being made bv our colored citizens to appreci ate. aud be benefitted by every educa tional advantage, while, tiom lust one cause, an 1 tlieu another, all petty and shameful, our own white children are being allowed to grow up in ignorance. The colored children are made to attend School by their parents, while even the few public schools which niay be estao fished for white children are but scanti ly attended. Wc are glad of every school, for white or black, we can hear of, and specially rejoice to hear that every one is full of scholars. We urge our colored citizens to persevere in getting an education, but will have something soon to say to I our authorities, and white people, upon the subject of public schools. Mr. Berry's school was addressed by Mr. Buel and Mayor Summey in short, but, enco staging and appropriate re marks. We wish it combined prosper ity. Grass. The Burke Blade well says: Too much attention cannot well be given to the cultivation of the grasses At th risk of worrying our tanners with this suggestion, we again repeat, prepare every one of you a portion of your land for grass, and get the seed in helore it be too late in the Spring. Some will say, I've got no seed and don't know where to get it," or "I've no money to buy seed." Now is the time to be looking out for seed, aud as for the means to pay for it, we will say, grass seed is about the only thing we would feel justified in going in debt for Your hay pays for it; your stock pays for il.aud your improvement on the land pays for it. Sow clover and orchard crass. . i We request all mothers to stop using Laudanum for their Babies, Bet use Dr. Bull's Babv Syrup, a good medicine. It contains nothing injurious. 25 cents.
