A perfect complexion, free from pim ple or blemish, is very rarely seen, be cause few people have perfectly pure blood. And yet, all disfiguring erup tion s are easily removed by the use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. Try it, and surprise your friends with the result.

Congressional District in Conven tion A Large Crowd A New Force Bill, Bill Crawford. After Ewart. On Tuesday evening the delegates from the Western Reserve of this district to the Democratic Congressional con- vention reached the city several hundred strong, and all stronsr for their resDec- w ' o - i tive crndidates Mr. Elias of Macon or Mr. Crawford of Haywood. Wednesday morning's trains added largely to the number, from McDowell, Henderson, Transylvania, Polk and Madison. It was the largest convention ever held in the district, composed of true, represen tative citizens and Democrats. Tuesday night and Wednesday morn- ing the friends of respective candidates were busily engaged in "feeling their way," but up to the hour of meeting it was a very uncertain matter as to who the lightning would strike. Promptly at 12 o'clock the convention I was called to order; in the Grand Opera House which had been very Drooerlv and necessarily secured for the occasion j by Capt. C. M. McLoud, of the district executive committee. The delegates I only occupied the lower floor, while the stage and galleries were given up to vis- itors. A sea of faces ereeted the chair-1 man when he rapped to order, and tri-1 umph for Democracy was strongly de- picted on every face, let the leader be whom he may. Rev. Dr. Rankin offered up a fervent prayer. Mr. R. L. Leatherwood, of Swain was elected permanent president, with R. M. Furman and representatives of the Dem ocratic press secretaries. When nominations were called for Hon. H. A. Gudger presented the name of Gen. Vance. Hon. W. H. Hargrove presented Hon. W. T. Crawford, of Havwood. Locke Craig presented Hon J. H. Merrimon. E. D. Carter presented Hon. J. M. Gudger. M. W. Egerton presented Hon Thos. D. Johnston. J. F. Ray, nominated Hon. Kope Elias. Hon. Reuben McBraver nominated q0 prant Coxe Seconding speeches were made as fol lows: Col. J. J. Osborne for Vance; W. A. Smith for Merrimon; Natt Atkinson for Johnston; J. W. Nash for Crawford; General Hampton for Elias; R. W. Scott for Coxe: R. E. Gardner for Gudger; N Newby for Elias. The first ballot resulted Vance, 121 1-10; Johnson, 29 2-10; Coxe, 20 8-10; Merrimon, 21 8-10 ; Gudger, 24 4-10 ; Crawford, 40 6-10 ; Elias, 48 5-10. Last (14th) ballot, Messrs. Johnson and Elias having withdrawn Vance, 34 8-10; Coxe, 53 8-10; Merrimon, 52 4-10; Gudger, 2 ; Crawford, 161 3-10. Whereupon Mr. Crawford was de clared nominated amidst great enthu siasm. We held The Democrat back to en able us to state the result merely. Full proceedings will be published next week.

The Record readny see there is a vast difference between the foundation and the entire building. The latter will cost, as near ag prC8ent estimates can be made, over four mim0n of dollars. Our esteemed ft-jend and fellow countryman, Mr. Van derbilt, thinks too highly of Western Mjaroima to waste ms time on a resi- dence to cost no more than a half mil- lion. We have all gotten beyond that point down here, Mr. Record, A Special Sxcursiom Will be run from Durham, Hillsboro, Greensboro, Salisbury, Charlotte and 1 pointg on the M tQ en&hU who wish, to attend the big sale of city lots to take place in this city next weekf," beginning Wednesday. Fifteen hundred doHara in prizes aie to be distributed at tbe great State and Inter-State Rifle and Gun Contests, to take place in this city next week. ASHEVILLE'S GALA WEEK. Gun and Bine Shooting Large Sale of City Lots. next wees promises to De a most im portant one in the history of the city. Great attractions will be offered by Rifle " " j Gun Contests, in which teams from several States, as well as a number from this State, will participate. Fifteen hun , 1 i .11 ... . ..... . area aoiiars win De aistriDutea as prizes and everything will be done to add to the pleasure of visitors and participants. Among these special arrangements will be the extraordinary Dublic sale of that extraordinarily valuable property in North Asheville, on Merrimon avenue, belonging to Messrs. Atkinson, Rey nolds & Co. . This property has been di vided into residence lots of from one- half acre to five acres each, all covered with beautiful original oak forest, with wide, well shaded streets, all command- ing splendid views of the entire sur- rounding country. Really, too much - cannot be said of this property ; in loca- tion, surroundings, and all advantages a well appointed home, it cannot be surpassed. The sale of lots will begin next Wednesday and continue until two hundreds of the handsomest residence lots in the Union will be disposed of, on terms that none can resist. Onlv ten per ceat of purchase money cash, ten per cent, in sixty days, ten per cent, in one year, the same each. in two and three years, the remainder in five years. Every person who feels the slightest desire to invest, either for speculation or other purposes, should inspect carefully this property, and attend the sale. ln 1980 Asheville was the 8th town in t&e male m population ; in lew it is h and runs for the 3d place closely. We have no doubt whatever, and it is tbe pinion of every person at all ac- quainted with the growth and attrac- tions of the place, that Asheville will contain in five years the largest popula- tion in the State. Its preeminence as a health and pleasure resort, its future as a most, important commercial and indus- trial center, are assured. And no better opportunity will be offered for safe and profitable investment, or the securing of a most delightful home site, than will be offered in or near this thriving, bustling, hustling, fountain metropolis. Attend the sale. ' ' All Say Pleasant Things. Our friend C. C. Daniels, editor of the Wilson Advance, gives a most pleasant sketch of his recent visit to Rutherford ton, Bryson City, Murphy, and Ashe ville. Like all who visit Western Caro lina the more he saw the more he was pleased. ; His personal allusions are so agreeable that we feel life is worth liv ing after all. Come again, friend. The references to some of the places visited will be used hereafter. Referring to our townsman. Col. Cameron, Mr. Daniels well says : ' Col. Cameron is one of the best equipped editors North Carolina has ever had, and he possesses one of the kindliest of hearts." Referring to two other prominent citi zens of the great and growing West, he says truly : " It was our pleasure to meet Mr. II. L. Leatherwood, of Bryson City. He was defeated for the nomination for So licitor of his district by Mr. George Jones, of Macon ounty. Mr. Leather wood is a good lawyer and an excellent man, ana it was maeea an honor to be nominated over such a competitor. Mr Jones is one of the best lawyers and men of his section and will redeem the district from Republicanism, we do not doubt. He was the member of the last House of Representatives from Macon county and he made a useful, earnest member, always true to the interest of his people." Completed to the North Carolina Line . Johnston Citv, Tenn., August 22. The last rail was laid on the Three Crs road in Unicoi county at seventeen min utes to twelve last night, the last day allowed to get through and win the bonds voted by the county.

Lunch was served and the train started on the return trip. A stop waa made at Unaka Snrimrs and Chairman Hannum accepted the road for the county and signed an order for the delivery of the bonds. The road ism good condition and is now open for business to the State line. Win. Kenefick has the con - tract for fifty miles through North Caro- lina and will commence work in twelve months. LWork on the north end Is again being pushed vigorously, and within three months trains will be run ning to - Minneapolis, Va. Knoxville Journal COUNTY DEMOCKACY.
