of Interest Concerning our
City and Section.
We direct attention to the annual
statement of Buncombe's financial affairs
for the past twelve months.
Capt. M. E. Carter has gone South for
a few days to recuperate his health. He
has been quite sick for some weeks.
Cards are out for the marriage of Mr.
Harry M. Roberts, of Asheville, and Miss
Estejlle Fletcher, of Henderson county.
Mr. J. T. Pattrick, State Agent of Imj
migration, has arrived in Asheville and
will remain intil the great Convention,
which meets here next Tuesday.
The Big Racket Store has the largest
stock of Christmas toys and fancy goods
of any store in Asheville. Cheap rates
to Sunday schools for Christmas trees.
President J. S. Carr of the North Car
olina Veteran's Association has : issued
an urgent call 1 for assistance from the
ladies for the Veteran's Home, which
has been established in Raleigh.
We hear just before going to press
that quite a humber of people at an in
fair at W. A. Curtis', on Upper Hominy,
were made very sick by eating of a cake
which in some way was contaminated by
poison.
The Asheville Construction, Loan and
Improvement company hare sold four
lots on the lately improved property in
the northwest of the city under guaran
tee that houses of not less than $8,000
shall be built. '
We understand that five fine residences
are to be immediately built on the prop
erty opposite Judge Merrimon's place
on French Broad avenue. One of them
is to be built by B. N. Duke, of Durham.
Two others are to be built by the Messrs.
Walker, of Asheville.
The harsh, drastic purgatives, once
deemed so indispensable, have given
place to milder and more skillfully pre
pared laxatives; hence the great and
growing demand for Ayer's Pills. Phy
sicians everywhere recommend them tor
eostiveness, indigestion and liver com
plaints. We invite attention to the advertise
ment of the Oakland Heights Sanitarium
in another column, which will be opened
on or about the 20th inst., for the recep
tion of guests. When improvements
now being made are completed, it will
be one of the finest institutions of the
kind in America.
The death of Miss Frances Arrendall
removes one of the oldest and one of the
best of women from Lpuisburg, N. C
It occurred last Thursday at her home in
that town. She was 77 years of age.
Her life, until recently, had been devoted
to teaching, and many will be the sor
rowing hearts upon hearing of her de
mise. The Johnson City (Tenn.) correspon
dent of the Knovrille Journal writes:
"Considerable interest is being manifest
ed here in the Southern Immigration
Convention which meets in Asheville on
the 17th inst. Gov. Taylor has ap
pointed A. R. Bowman and Walter W.
Faw as State delegates from this city,
and Col. Thos. E. Matson and A. R.
Johnson will represent Mayor Jobe.
Several or the different land companies
will also send delegates as per request of
the managers of the affair."

Gen. Young's Banquet.
Gen. P. M. B; Young on Wednesday
evening tendered the Board of Alder
men a banquet at the Battery Park hotel
in commemoration of the completion of
the completion of his paving contract
with the city. Gen. Young presided at
one end of the table and Col. Steele,
manager; of the hotel at the other. Sup
per was served in the private dining
room of the hotel. The service was
most excellent and was under the direc
tion of the polite and capable head waiter
of the hotel, John Glasgow. The bill of
fare given below was prepareda man
ner that would do credit to the'most fa
mous cusines of the world.

Under the the post prandial champagne
several toasts were given. Capt. Chas.
Price spoke for the United States and
was followed by Judge Phillips for North
Carolina. Gen. Young stated in propos
ing this toast his strong interest in the
State which was the home of his ances
tors. He had commanded North Caro
lina troops during the war and when
they learned that he had come of Norfh
Carolina stock they had shown their en
thusiasm at the fact in a marked manner.
Judge Phillips in his response said he
never really known all . the people of
North Carolina till he had come to the
West. Things were very different in
East and West and the western people
he invited to the East to see its great
streams and estuaries. It would be
greatly to the advantage of the State for
each section to know each other.
Mr. R. McBrayer responded to "our
host." He congratulated Asheville upon
the work accomplished by Gen. Young,
and thought we should need more such
work and more men like the General.
He said Atheville reminded him of what
Congressman Brower had said of Blacks
burg, S. C, that "it was the only town
he ever knew where 'possums could be
hunted by electric light." Asheville
would go one better and hunt 'possums
by electric light on paved street.
In the toast to Col. Steele and the
Battery Park, Gen. Young paid both the
hisrhest comnlimeEt. He had been liv-
ing in hotels all his life,
seen better service either
but had never
t
in Europe of
America than at the Park. It wa3 one
of the few hotels in the country too
which paid a profit. Last year it cleared
$51,000 neat. It now had three applica
tions a room for every one in the house.
The General paid a fine tribute to Ashe
ville and its prospects.
Several other speeches were made. A
vate of thanks were tendered General
Young, and the banquet broke up with
the best of feeling.

Is hereby given that application will be

COME TO THE SUNNY SOUTH.
That is the Invitation Extended to
the Westerners.
From The Atlanta Journal.
Governor Northern has appointed the
delegates to the interstate Immigration
Convention, winch meets in Asheville
on the 17th of December.
This is an exceedingly important con
vention, and will be very largely attend
ed. All the Southern States ' will send
representatives, .
One of the main objects is to secure
for the South such rates from the rail
roads as will enable p ople in the West
to come down and see this section as it
really is, with a view to locating here.
There are thousands and tens of thous
ands of people in the northwest who
ought to be living in the sunny South.
They would certainly locate here if they
could come down and get a taste of the
climate and see the advantages of the
country. The Immigration convention
will do much toward getting a rate for
excursionists that will enable these peo
ple to come down and see tha South.
Mr. W. L. Glessner, of Americus, is the
leading spirit in the immigration move
ment. He has done the South as much
good as any other man4n presenting to
the West the real state of affairs in Geor
gia. He is the first on tne list of dele
gates from the State at large. Mr. Gless
ner desires it stated that the delegates
should at once notify their railroad
agents thae they desire to 'go to the con
vention, so that the excursion tickets
can be secured for them by the agents
The rate is one fare for the round trip.
Below is the list of the delegates:
At Large W. L. Glessner, Americus;
H. A. Wrench, Dalton; Frank Weldon,
Savannah; P. A. Stovall, Augusta.
(Then follows a list of appointees by
Senatorial districts.)
The Journal adds:
In addition to the above Commissioner
Nesbit has appointed Capt. R. J. Red
ding, of the experiment station, and Dr.
H. H. Cary, of LaGrange, to represent
the department of agriculture, and Mr
Glessner, who has the appointing of two
delegates, has appointed from the State
Press Association Col. J. H. Estill of the
Savannah Morning News, and Col. John
Triplett of the Thomasville Times.
The Northern Society will send two
delegates.
It is likely that the convention will
take some steps to secure a Southern
exhibit at the World's fair.
A Good Day for the Lowrys.
The 4th of November in this year of
grace, 1890, was a good day for the Low
ry family as well as Democracy. We all
here know our Sandy Mush plow boy,
Jesse P , whom the Democracy elected
to the Legislature. His brother, James
R. Lowry, was also, on the same day,
elected by the Democrats to the office of
Sheriff of Yavapai County, Arizona, an
office that pays $2,000 per annum. The
county has heretofore been Republican,
but Mr. Lowry carried it by 25 votes

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
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 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 fhi
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.
