Arrivals at the hotels are on the in crease now. Our boarding houses are rapidly filling up also. K The second annual district Y. M. C. A. convention will be held in Salisbury Oct. 10th and 12th inclusive. Swain county pemocrats will nomi nate their candidates through a primary election to be held on the 27th. . Mr. E. B. Atkinson, and Mr. T. C. H. Dukes, of this city have been appointed notaries public by Gov. Fowle. Evangelist Pearson is conducting a most successful meeting at Hickory. As elsewhere, great crowds wait on his min istry. We are authorized to state that Messrs. J. R DuBose, D. A. Blackwell, J. W. Nash and J. C. Curtis are not candidates or the Legislature. ; Bryson : City needs a bank, says the Herald. It is a good country, and all it needs is more capital to make it one of the most prosperous in the State Attention is called to the advertise raent on our last page of the sale of lots at Andrews. Home seekers and inves tors in real estate should attend this sale. The W. N. C. Methodist says that the school at Weaverville College is still in creasing m numbers. We predict a very successful year for this worthy institu tion. An enthusiastic meeting of the Young Men's Democratic Club was held on Tuesday night. A large number of new members were added. Col. Davidson made a stirring address. The Republican paper at Brevard, after hearing Mr. Crawford and 3Ir. Moodv at that Dlace. suggested that It "hoped Mr. Ewart would meet Mr Crawford next time." Messrs. Newland and Blackburn, dem ocratic and republican nominees for So licitor for the adjoining district will ad dress the people of Henderson at Hen dersonville on September 30. Hon. W. T. Crawford made two speeches in Jackson, and also addressed people of Swain at Birdtown last week. At each place he had good audiences. and made splendid impressions upon his hearers. The Swain Hotel at sBryson City is . m t 9 . now tne dinner noose ior passengers going west. Mr. Blackburn always sends his guests away weU satisfied. A number of winter boarders are expected at this popular hotel. Sales of real estate occur daily. Archi tects and contractors Bay they will have all they can poisibly do this fall and winter. Some very extensive and ex pensive private buildimg are to be erect ed by winter. A large party headed by Andrew Car land and Tom Gash left last week for Winlock, Washington, via the Chicago and Alton and Union Pacific lines. They prchased tickets from B. A. Newland, traveling passenger agent of above lines at this place. Boils, pimples and akin diseases of all kinds speedily disappear when the blood is purified by the uso of Ayer's Sarsapa rilla. It has no equal as a tonic altera tive, the results being imme iate and satisfactory. Ask your druggist for it, and take no other. Rheumatism is caused by a poisonous acid in the blood and yields to Ayer's Pills. Many cases which seemed chronic and hopeless, hare been completely cured by this medicine. It will cost but little to try what effect the Pills may have in your case. We predict success. The St. Clair hotel, at Weaverville, re cently purchaaee by pheriff Reynolds, of this city, is undergoing repairs and will soon be in excellent condition, so we learn. It is located in a beautiful and growing section of the county, in a com munity noted for its refinement and in- telligence, and which must become a thriving, progressive place. We learn that many friends will vote in the primaries for John Cathey, of Hominy, for Clerk of the Superior Court, though he has not formally announced himself as a candidate. His friends claim that this is due to him on account of his defeat for this office at a time when his manly stand on the fence law question aroused a prejudice against him, an4 further beeaase he is a maimed Confederate soldier. A Western Carolina Fair. We have inadvertently omitted to unite our voice with our neighbor. The Citizen, in its appeal for the organiza tion of a Fair Association for Western Carolina. An annual Fair for this sec tion has been a hobby with the writer of this for years. At one time excellent grounds were obtained, buildings erected thereon, and several exhibits had, which astonished the natives. The grounds were permitted to pass to other hands and to other uses. Without reflecting on the past however, we heartily con cur in the value of an annual exhibition, not only to the farmers, mechanics and other industrial workers, but to the com mercial .interests of Asheville. Why cannot the Farmers' Alliance, other la borers' Unions, and the business men of Asheville combine, form an organiza tion, secure grounds, erect suitable build ings for agriculture, mechanical and art exhibits, and have annual exhibits. The longer it is delayed the greater the cost for suitable grounds. It ought to be at tended to this fall, so as to get readv for a grand Fair next fall. ! There can be no calculating the great benefit to a locality ot such an enter prise, and Western Carolina possesses peculiar advantages in this respect. The wonderful mineral, marble, timber, agri cultural, horticultural and mechanical resourcs and enterprisee of this section could make an exhibit that would prove the best object lesson that could be de vised. The exhibit would afford &n easy opportunity for strangers to come and see what -the country is producing and can produce. It would not only pay the section indirectly in this respect, but pay the stockholders in the association directly. It would pay Asheville to have the crowds come here for a week in October. Cannot the County Alli ances take steps towards consummating such a scheme? Cannot they and other organizations appoint committees to co operate with pur business people with a view of such a useful enterprise? The Democrat trusts such can and will be done, and that next year we can have a fair that will be a pride'to our own peo ple, as surh as can be held here would bo an astonishment to outside people. Restore the Camp Ground. Col. J. M. Ray, in the last W. N. C. Methodist, proposes to be one of five or ten to replace the arbor building at the Reems Creek Camp Ground, and urges the restoration of this veritable God's acre to its former uses and usefulness. The Democrat sympathizes with this suggestion and trusts to see it carried out. What good old times can the elder people of this section recall, when the people would spend a week there in praise and song and prayer. The world hai advanced since those days, but God only knows whether it has advanced for the better or not. Restore the camp meeting, and with it the good o'.d fash ioned. undecorated and unadulterated religious services. Profit in Cabbage. i The Hendersonville Guide says: "Hun dreds and hundreds of wagons have been in town this week, loaded with cabbage Mr. Hart is snipping toem by tne car load." The Guide adds, "It is estimated that four thousand can be raised on one acre of land with ease, and not but four months of the year occupied. Cabbage are always in demand in the Southern markets and they never bring less than three cents per head, delivered at the depot. Mr. B. F. Posey ha3 one acre of cabbages,, right near his house. He ex pects to realize one hundred and twenty dollars for the crop, enough, he says, to pay for the cultivation of his other land that he has in potatoes, corn and wheat." Good Hotels. The Hendersonville Guide, which gives much and useful attention to the material interests of its town, again urges the importance of a first-class ho tel It will prove to be the best invest ment the capitalists of the town can r make, not only for themselves, but for the town and county all that helps the town helps the county.. Marion will soon have a splendid hotel; it i3 said Mr. Goodyear, a wealthy gentleman of the North, will soon build a fine one in Waynesville, and we hope to hear of good ones going up in every mountain town. The more the better for the whole section. Sunday Train Discontinued. The Snnday paeeenger train on the Murphy division, running between Asheville and Wayneaville has been dis continued. The Baltimore Manufacturers' Record has satisfactory information that the Carolina, Knoxrille and Western rail road from Greenville, S. C, through Haywood to Knoxville will soon be completed. It is to be hoped so. A LEADING? CITIZEN GONE. Mr. William Johnston Passes Away at a BipeOld Age.

Looking Backward Over the past eight years of our successful business life in Ashe ville has demonstrated to us the fact that our determination to sell only pure gKxxis, guanamtee- "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 tomers cannot be gained by the oft-tried practice of some deal ers in cutting prices on a few leading art icles, hoping to make it up on something else. That hard work'and close ap plication to business is the price of success. That our business for 1889 shows an Increase over the pre vious year of 20 per cent., which is very gratifying, and for which we wish to, thank our many friends in Asheville and Western North Carolina. Looking Forward We are encouraged to enter up on the year before us with re newed energy and a determina-- tion to give our customers the benefit of our increased facili ties for buying and selling the very finest goods to be had, at small profits. Our- stock is now the largest ever offered in : this market and embraces everything in the line of Staple and Fancy Groceries Table Delicacies, Fruits, Grain, Flour, etc. Respectfully, Powell & Snider.
