ASHEVILLE, N. C., THURSDAY, AUGUST 21, 1890. NO. 46. Looking Backward Oyer the past eight years of our cessf ul business life in Ashe- ville has demonstrated to us the art that our aetermmaxion to sell only pure goods, guarantee- :,-V.c onH nniilif.-v and jjjg W fig" 1,0 1"""" w.. asking a small prom, on every thing sold, commends itself to good sense ot purchasers.

That hard work and close ap- ilication to business is the price of success. That our business for 1889 kows an increase over the pre- nous year 01 -u per wuu, wuiui very gratifying, and for which we wish to thank our many friends in Asheville and Western North Carolina. We are encouraged to enter up on the year before us with re newed energy and a determina ion to give our customers the benefit of our increased facili ties for buying and selling the very finest goods to be had, at oil profits.

From! Our Regular Correspondent. . 1 Mrs. Police and daughter, of Charles ton, S. C.!, are guests of G. W. Lynch. Miss Miller and a lady friend of hers, whose name we have not learned, from Reedyille, S. C, are boarding at Mrs. Sherrell's. Mr. David Merrell and family, of Rutherfordton, N. C, are visiting our place. Mr. R. C. Clayton, the largest tobacco grower in our township, has cured this season three barns, by the patent pro cess, and claims the results obtained very satisfactory. : We are glad to announce that the ser vices of 1 Prof. D. L. Ellis, of the Nash ville Carolina Institute, have been se cured for the Fairview Institute. The school will open Sept. 1st. Quite an in terest is being manifested for the school, and the indications are now that we will have a live and flourishing school. We have no doubt from the high recommen dations that Prof. Ellis bears, but that our most sanguine expectations of him as an instructor will be fully realized. The Sunday-school thanksgiving last Saturday was an enjoyable occasion and one long to be remembered. The exer cises in the forenoon consisted of short but appropriate speeches, singing, tc. The singing was under the management of Prof.ivT. B.Wells. When the hour for ref rf fehments arrived I must say that words are inadequate to express the bountif ulness of the many good things spread before the large gathering. The ladies of Fairview have but few equals and no superiors in domestic qualifica tions. 1 The afternoon service was short but sweet. Superintendent J. H. Free man had previously promised on this day to give each member of the infant class a treat, and the promise was ful filled by giving each little boy and girl all the candies they could eat and some to carry liome. Many sweet little lips were made sweeter. All agree that Rev. J. M. Hilliard' s prediction that we would have av. general good time on this day was fully demonstrated. Space will not allow me to give the particulars of the day, but : all, with one accord, should be grateful , to -Mr. Fieeman for such a day of iileasiue. L. II. ; L.e Next State Fair. The tute Fair in 1880 'was as good as anv uouv coiita; nave body wished. It had a t . . crowd of new features, it was conducted with a great deal of' order and. system; -sfo much ;soi' that there as net a single ar rest and ; nothing was stolen. It was meant to be a fair for the people, :and the people ' reeogni.eu if as sueh, 'ar;d ga e it a very liberal patronage. The iiKi!;:t.;Cjr.:j:H proposes this year to make it bUp'ii'for in every v.'ay, to the last. It is to embrace new features of special in terest to the farmer, the mechanic and the '-educator.-- At the same time, the :me'in.l of proper amusement will not he ! neglected. Negotiations have .already ! been completed for. soaie-of . the best and .most uiii!ue -entertainments ever offered 'to the-public, and the grounds will be ! crowded with shows and curiosities. I equalling anything that has ever been j seen in the country. The low rate of fare makes it possible for everybody to conie, ami the abundant crops which the season now promises, will make a matter of duty for our people to come together for a week's holiday and' happiness. An. Old Divine Remembered. The ladies of the Asheville Baptist Church hare presented to Elder Thomas Stradley, Sr., the founder and for many -ears the pastor of the First Baptist Church of this city, a splendid reclining chair.! : The aged minister was jquite happy on receiving the present, and peering through his tears said, "I am so thankful that, they remember k once niore.r The chair is worth $25.00, and Mrs. Brand, who acted as , agent, .. says she had several dollars left: after paying for it. This money she tendered with the chair as gold for his roj-aity. The old "father in Israel" is between TO and 100 years old. The Democlat wishes him a most comfortable recline on his easy chair.
