COWEE SCHOOL. EXERCISES.
An Auspicious Occasion and a Large
Crowd in Attendance. .
Dear Democrat: On last Saturday
evening the people from all directions in
the vicinity of West's Mills began to as
semble at the Co wee school house to
witness the closing exercises of the
Co wee school, which has been under the
control and management of Miss Maggie
Morrison for the last two seasons. The
weather being fine and the circumstances
of rather an auspicious nature, every
thing wTas conducively favorable to a
large attendance and by the time that
the shadows of evening had crept oyer
the surrounding landscapes and wrapped
old mother earth in their gentle but
strong embrace tbe house a large and
commodious one too was packed to its
utmost capacity with a very attentive
and appreciative audience except the
veryfev ill-bred and drunken rakes that
unwarily iiappei to gcQ ito u cor
ner. The exercises, consisting for the
most part of recitations, declamations
and dialogues, opened at the ringing of
the bell just at dark and closed after
several hours of pleasant and . happy en
jc yment. They wTere ai ranged " with
great skill, and being of, a highly inter
esting and entertaining character could
not fail to captivate the entire audience.
Some of them were impressively grand
everything taken into consideration, and
many of them deserve special mention
and comment. The recitations "Poor
House Man" and others by Miss Maggie
Morrison were very impressively ren
dered, and wpuld have been creditable
to a theatrical stage. The music for the
occtfsion, furnished by Messrs. James
Corbin and Chas. Brownen, proved a
very enjoyable feature of the exercises.
The program was well- arranged and
happily selected and wras in just keeping
with the cultivated taste of Miss Morri
son, who as a teacher abreast of these
times of advancing civilization is al
ways in ready demand ' and arousing
success. The exercises and the credita
ble manner in which the students ac
quitted themselves told 'much to the
credit of the teacher, pupils and commu
nity, and showed bu; too plainly how
deeply and well the foundations for in-
tetyectualjjand moral culture and training
had been laid. . The community acted
only in keeping with the better dictates
of wisdom by raising a subscription to
continue the school for another session
under the same management. If Miss
Morrison can be kept as teacher Cowee
will yet live to see brighter days.

Lookin
Backward
Over the past eight years of our
successful business life in Ashe
ville has demonstrated to ns 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
tomers cannot be gained by the
oft-tried practice of some deal
ers in cutting prices on a few
leading articles, 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 thanl our
many friends in Asheville and
Western North Carolina.
Lookin,
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 ouij 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 andFancy Groceries,
Table Delicacies, Fruits, Grain,
Flour, etc. Respectfully, ,
