CHRISTMAS GOODS TILL Panoramic View of Asheville. Prof. A, Ruger, an artist, of ability, who has had twenty years, experience in making views of citie South and North, has made a pen and ink drawing of our beautiful city, showing all the houses ia miniature,1 so they can be recognized, also giving the names of the streets, so when lithographed will make a beautiful picture to hang in hall, parlor or office. J. Y. Stoner, who now has the sketch, will call upon our business men with the purpose of having them examine it and to take orders for same preparatory to having it lithographed. He has samples of other towns and cities, both South andINorth, to show the style of litho graph, but informs us that unless 200 subscribers can be obtained it will not be published. We hope our citizens will not let this opportunity pass, for we think there should be 1000 of them aent abroad, as it is one of the best advertise ments our city could obtain. JTHE GREAT CONVENTION.

Republicanism. Sandy Mush, Buncombe Co., ) December 12, 1890. Editors Democrat: I have heretofore been a republican and in the last election voted the entire ticket. But God being my helper, I never - expect to affiliate, work or vote with the party again. They have been unfaithful to every Dromise they have ever made, both public and ! private, and to-day I have not the least1 confidence in the party. They haveno regard for their pledges or promises. To lie and misrepresent is what they rely on, and if Republicanism is such every where else as it is on Sandv Mush mv advice to all deceat men both white and colored is to leave the dead, stinking carcass at once.

J. S. GRANT, Ph. G., Pluirmactst, 24 S. Main St. Aslwmlle, N. (J. Looking Backward Oyer 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 upon something else. That hard work and cloe ap plication to business is thd price of success. That our business for 1889 shows an increase over the pre vious year of 20 per cent., which. is very erratityinp;, ana tor 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 bur customers thv benefit of our increased facilf- 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 lino of Staple and Ycncy Groceries, Table Delicacies, Fruits, Grain, Floor, etc. Respectfully, Powell & Snider.
