Death of Judge liQgan. " RyTiiERFORDTON, N. C, October 18. Judge George TV. Logan, ! ex-Superior Court Judge in North Carolina, died at his home at Chimney Rock,, eighteen miles from here to-day. Judge Logan was born in 1815, and was admitted to practice in 18():i. He was elected to the Confederate Congress, was a member of the Constitutional Convention of 1866, and a member of the legislature in I867'. He was elected judge in I868, j Avjhen the preserit Constitution' of North Carolina wasdopted, and served eight years. He was a Whig before the war, a Unionist I during the war, and a Republican since. tie obtained great notoriety by receiving the confessions of .members of kuklux men since the war. He rose! from Cap jam j to General in the State Militia Since retiring from the bench he has led a ; private life.

Mr. Hobgood is a man of untiring energy and large newspaper experience. haying been connected with the press of this State, in different localities, for more than a dozen years.

Demens & Taylor's Enterprise Al, ready for Business, Etc. The largest' and most completely equipped planing mill and woodwork ing establishment ever located west of the Blue Ridge, has -just' begun active operation on the west side of the West ern North Carolina railway tracks1, near the . ne passenger depot, in this city. The plant is owned'by Demens & Taylor, who,' a few months . since, came from Florida to Asheville upon a prospecting tour. ' They investigated The resources ;of the country round about, and so thor oughly satisfied were they with what they saw, and the treatment they received -at the hands' of our people, that their confidence was fixed concerning future success and prosperity in Ihis section of the land of the sky. They determined to locate their mills-here, and within sixty days' time mill buildings, dry kilns,. . railway tracks, office buildimr. etc have been completed, and twenty thousand dollars worth of the latest imnrnvpd and has best wood-working: machinery' , been purchased,: set up in ner- fect running order, and the entire plant gotten ready for business. Large piles of rough lumber, walnut, oak, poplar, pine, etc.; have been received by the' company during the past two weeks all of .which wHL be worked up in filling; orders already on ' hand. Mr. H. W. Fitch, late qfj Atlanta" is the Superin- te?ndentf and rinder his supervision and : direction twenty or thirty men will be employed. Mr. F. has had large expert-" v ence in the milling business, and it has been chiefly through his -activity, supe riqr knowledge and push that the new mill here lias been so rapidly completed. The machines, and there are many of them, all ."work,, perfectly, the mot:ve power being furnished by a Tajdor en- gine of the latest pattern. Only one l.'nfe of shafting is used, and only two of the machines are placed on the second floor. Everything about the mill has been con structed with a iew of saving. time.and ine success that must attend the; oper ation of the enterprise Will hpvnnH ' . 1 . . 1 doubt, be unequaled. A visit, through J M.J V. me mins wm tully repay one for the tinae taken in making such inspection. . The amount of capital invested in this' enterprise is about $60,000. . ' ' ' ." ' . ' : - r ' ; A Great Institution. ' 1 It may not perhaps be generally kno wn , to the readers jof The Democrat that West Asheville has located in its center and educational institution conducted upon the . same principles and rules as those governing the city's graded schools Such is a fact, however, 'and notwith standing the Kindergarten school has only been 'established two weeks over one hundred pupils are in daily attend ance. The school is under the manage- ' ment of Miss, S. Garrison, and is sup ported by the contribution of several enterprising and philanthropic- citizens pf West Asheville, among whom are Mr. H. T. Collins who donated $100; C. E. Graham $100; TV. B. Marx $25, and others. The Sunday school of' the First Baptist Church also contributes $50 to the school fund, and "the Church streejt Methodist church will make a similar r m 1 donation. The Woman's Christian temperance Lnion and Asheville Di vision Sons of Temperance will each raise a liberal fund for the support, and maintenance of the school. Several small contributions in cash have been made, and the rent of the building in which the school is carried on is donated ' by Mr. Richmond Pearson. The -public school, sixty students, under the direc tion of Miss Maggie Dukes, is another of West Ashe ville's educational institu tions of which the people in that section may well be proud. Between 250 and 300 childrenSef school age, residein the western section of the cityAvho are thus greatly benefitted by the establishment of these institutions, due alone to the big-heartedness and genuine philanthro py ot a few liberal and spirits. progressive , ;" Begun Work. The engineers have begun work on the Asheville, Atlanta and Baltimore line, a force going eachvay, north and south, from Asheville. Col. Thad Cole man. is with the party going north. Everything points to the immediate prosecution of this very important work, and we are snre that the people along the proposed route will render every assistance that may be required of them. It is certainly the most important work that Western North Carolina could enter upon, and we hope it will be pushed to a speedy completion. The general conyenti,on of Episcopa lians has determined to retain the social Nicine creed in their prayer book. . Men are sinful just as they are foolish, and good just as they are wise i. e., very -mixed in both respects.-r-Channing. . 1 3 . 1 A.- V ! ! ! ! 1 i ....!.' v !.-';; . . .. . . -. ? 1 ... i ! !,! ; .- -. t- . -j----- Jf.
