Rev. J. S. Burnett and Miss Sallie
Span were married at the residence of
Mr. J. R. DuBose, the bride's brother-in-law,
on the 11th inst., Dr. Jas. H. Weaver
officiating. The many friends of the
contracting parties tender sincere con
gratulations. I We are glad to announce the election
as District Attorney of San Diego coun
ty, California, of our former townsman
Gen. Johnston Jones. He was the Dem
ocratic candidate and was elected, while
all the other Republican candidates got
1,000 majority in the county.
The Lady Godiva must have had ex
ceptionally long hair since it completely
concealed her lovely person. Since
Ayer's Hair Vigor came into use such
examples are not so rare as formerly. It
not only promotes the growth of the
h: :r, but gives it a rich, silken texture.
Go where you may in Asheville and
new and elegant buildings greet you.
There is more building being done now
than ever before at one time, and con
tractors inform us there is no abatement
in the making of contracts for still more.
Asheville is certainly growing, substan
tially and rapidly. ,

An Atlanta dispatch, reporting the
proceedings of the W. C. T. U. conven
tion in that city says: "The board of
trustees of what is known as the Ashe
ville assembly met tolay and accepted
the donation by Mr. Miller, of Skylands
of twenty acres of land adjoining the
Vanderbilt-property at Asheville, upon
which a large temperance tabernacle is
to be erected."
Dr. Von Ruck, of the Winy ah Sani
tarium, has gone to Europe to investi
gate Dr. Koch's cure for consumption.
He will return here fully equipped to
administer the new treatment if it is
what it is represented to be. Dr. S.
Westray Battle has also telegraphed to
Berlin for the lymph. It is said many
consumptive patients here are clamorous
for a trial of Dr. Koch's method.
Mr. Chas. E. Wilson is one of the live
young merchants of Western Carolina.
His place of business is near the French
Broad River, on the foad between Hen
dersonville and Brevard. He has a mam
moth store, sells ma ay thousands of dol
lars worth of goods annually, keeps a
splendid hotel: for the traveling public,
runs a farm, and wants to get married.
He is now engaged. not to get married,
however but building up the country
otherwise, by erecting a telephone line
from Hendersonville, via his store, to
Brevard. Such men deserve success,
and generally achieve it.
Rev. S. H. Hiiiiard.
After the departure of Rev. Mr. Ran
kin fpr his Western home, Sam Hiiiiard,
our former town's boy, now the Rev.
Sam Hiiiiard, an already strong, earnest,
aggressive advocate of his Master's cause,
was appointed to the charge of Central
Methodist Church of this city. He is a
boy in years, but a man in his " Master's
Vineyard." Without knowing what the
congregation may. want we do not hesi
tate to say that the assignment of Mr.
Hiiiiard to this station will be alike a
credit to sincere service to the church,
good ability; and an expression of that
confidence in the Christian brotherhood
and faith begotten of association which
ought to characterize the church. We
do not know what our young pastor's
wishes may be, whether he desires to
stay here or go elsewhere. We do know
that he is equal to the requirements of
the most intelligent congregation in the
Conference, and worthy, in all respects,
of being sustained by that congregation.

A Week's , Entertainment.
The Baldwin Theatre Company, under
the management of Walter S. Baldwin,
are playing to good crowds at the Grand

is considerably above the average, and
have quite a number of select plays,
which are verv creditablv performed.
On Monday night they presented "The
Galley Slave," the manager, 3Ir. Baldwin ,
taking the leading character, and was
well supported by the entire company.
On Tuesday night "The Two Orphans,'
was rendered in a very admirable man
ner; the combat between the brothers in
the last act was very realistic and de
serves special mention. Last night the
"Queen's Evidence" was performed in
our city for the first time, and the audi
ence was more than pleased with the
manner in which it was rendered. To
night they present the western dranja,
written by Joaqum Miller, entitled "The
Danites." One of the principal features
of the company is the popular price of
admission, 15, 25, 35 and 50 cents. On
aaturaav nigrnt tnev will eive away a
handsome suite of bed room f urniture or
$30 in gold to the person holding the

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 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
of t-tried vpractice of some deal
prs in cuttinc nrices on a few
. ,. , . , , . , ,
leading articles, noping tomane
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 protlts.
