It was a great pleasure to liis note the great improvements in Brysoh City, the capital of Swain county, since our last visit two years ago. We spent court week there, and spent most of the time looking into the neW enterprises and im- atten- provements. tion is the The first to attract SWAIN HOTEL situated jon Everettj street, midway be tween the Station and the Court House. ii i i i Two years ago Mr. Geo. N. Blackburn and familv, with several other families, all of Michigan, came to Western Caro lina on a prospecting tour, and, pend ing some days in Swain! county, became impressed with the belief that the -future of that section was a very bright one, and the result was all purchased proper ly in and near the townj of Bryson City. Mr. Blackburn also became impressed with the necessity for a first-class hotel, and forthwith proceeded to build one. It is a two-story frame building, well de signed, contains 40 large, airy, comfort able rooms, with wide halls, large office angl dining room, all finished with na tive hard woods, and handsomely fur nished throughout. - Every appointment of the hotel is excellent, land the service admirable. Mr. Blackburn is greatly pleased with his new home, and! more pleased with the prospects of growth and development apparent on every hand -! Others who located in the same town and section are equally satisfied. Mr. BJ is now erecting a store-room ad joining his hotel, the upper story of which: will be fitted up1 for bedrooms. He anticipates a goodly number of sum mer hoarders, and all who go may be as sured of good accommodations at rea- more, ana A. M.

His office is a museum of specimens of the 'agricultural aid mineral resources of the county. He can say nothings too good for his county, and The Democrat will stand by him in all efforts in its behalf. I Lands are excellent and cheap in Swain county, "and persons seeking good homes are wafited and cordially wel comed. ' I ; sonable prices. Mr. B. says there is a and chair fac- good opening at this town for machine shops and foundry,! and the establish ment of a large tannery tory is talked of. There j are already a large number en gaged j in getting out lumber, for saw1 mills or for shipment in the log, and the opening for all woodi-working machinery is certainly an excellent one. It is a good farming section, the grains, grasses, fruits, vegetables j grow to perfection, and living lis cheap, j . The Swain Hotel is headquarters for hunters and fishermen, a the mountains abound With deer, while the beautiful streams are full of trout. The Tucka seegeej River, which passes under the shadow of the hotel, affords fine bass fishing sport. Parties desiring sport or recreation, or wishing to make safe in vestments, can do no better than go to Swain. ' We came near overlooking some of the special attractions mentioned by Messrs. "Blackburn, W. D. Crisp and Cary Mendenhall. Mr. Blackburn says the little streams near the place contain much fine gold, he having obtained ovr sixty cents worth in a few moments with only an ordinary pan. There is fine magnetic iron within three miles of the town, while fine specimens of silver ore are found in many localities. . Messrs. Arthur & Lipscomb, of South Carolina, have a large steam plant, with necessary machinery for; making locust shiu nails and insulator pins. Mr. E. C. Simpkins is the manager T of the' plant is about 15,0j00 pins pe.r day, and it is now run to its fullest capacity, as the company have a contract jwith a Northern firm to take all the pins, they can make as fast as they can be made J Messrs. McDonald & Fenson, of Mich igan, have just erected a $30,000 saw and planing mills, and have constructed extensive dams acros Tuckaseegee River and Deep Creek near the town, for their. uses, j" ! Mr. ll B.

The Asheville Democrat is well received by a large number of the good people of Graham, and its list is rapidly increas ing in that county. ColJ Green Phillips has given up the unaluska- House at Robbinsville, of which he was the noted proprietor for a number of years, to conduct a popular hotel at Blue Ridge, Ga. i We were pleased : to meet him again, however. The Junaluskafis now well kept by Dr. and Mrs. Suddoirth, who loose no oppor tunity to render: their guests comfortable and pleasant. The Doctor was but re cently married, and his happiness seemed to pervade the (atmosphere of his home and impart itself to all his Iriends. Col. Bill Cooper and his good family also conduct aj popular hotel, and de serve a patent j for being able to take good care of more people than they have room for, and dp it well. j Mr. Manning the popular Register of Deeds, suffers with the same complaint, for he, too, was crowded to overflowing, and all happy, i I j ' "Purd" Tatham, the "old clerk," keeps a "stag Ijiouse" in the town, and when a visitor or friend finds all the ho tels too full for one more, he only has to go to " Stag Hall," where f the latch- string is always j out, walk in, make him self at home, much to his own comfort and Mr. Tathami's pleasure, t No man is allowed to go away from Robbinsville unfed and well fed at that and un slept. ! ! Mr. t. B. Walker, the first man to represent Graham in the Legislature af ter I the formation of tire county, is a growing merchant of his place. Mr. R. L. Davis is also an energetic and suc cessful young merchant, while Dr. Sud derth conducts j the drug store and phy sics the sick. Sheriff Flemming, besides being a good officer, is also a successful farmer. All arje good people, proud of their county, and anxious to welcome good people who will go in with them and help develop their rich country.
