It Looking Backward I Over the past eight years of our i successful business life in Ashe- ville has demonstrated to us the fact that our determination to sell only pure goods, guarantee ing weights and quality, and asking a small profit on every thing sold, commends itself to the good sense of purchasers. Second, That desirable cus- j tomers cannot be gained by the oft-tried practice of some deal ers in cutting prices on a fw leading articles, hoping to mate it up on something else. That hard work and c. ose p ; plication to business is the price of success. 1 Thatj our business fjr 189 I shows an increase over the pre- vious year of 20 per cent. , which is very gratifying, aid for which we wish to thank our many friends in Ashevi Western North Carolina. i Looking Forward le and We are encouraged to enter up on the year before us with re newed energy and a determina tion to give our customers tne facili- benefit of our increased ties for buying and selling tne very finest goods to be had, at small profits.

Re Sam Jones said in his first ser mon at Charlotte that the first time he ever heard of North Carolina was some years ago when he met an old man driv ing a yoke of oxen to a covered wagon with a half-starved dog following along under the wagOn. He asked him where he was from, I and he replied, "From North Car'lihy, Buncombe county, Tare river." As Tar river is one of the east ern streams of the State and has not yet begjan to run up hill, we fear some Geor gia cracker imposed upon Rev. Sam.

The Colonel was then introduced, and addressed the assembly, and lit can truly be said his effort was the greatest ofj his life.
