Since the excitement caused by our late political contest has subsided and we bare all returned to our usual vocations and pursuits in life, as none but free men and American citizens can realize, I would respectfully draw the attention of the kindly disposed to a most worthy dbjct fo their consideration.

We carry In stock such' makes as FISCHER, ESTEY tle-of-Trevilian, Ya.- a few years later he lost his right arm in a railroad collision in Georgia. j He is a married man with a wife and three small children. Five years ago the hand of Divine Providence was pieased to bereave him of his eldest child, a boy of 14 years, upon whom his hopes were centered to lighten his load in his fight for bread and raiment. This sad blow did not unnerve or dismay this brave and resolute soldier. j For twenty-five years he has made a scanty living for his family by cutting wood in winter, and in summer has to trust to luck for employment, as there are few modes of labor that he can en gage in with his left arm. I This three-quartered man in statue, but more than average in nobility of Character, has never asked one cent in Charity from his fellow citizens. He would scorn to be classed as a mendicaut. His plmck, energy and dere to sustain Ms family in his mutilated condition by bis individual efforts, together with his cheerfulness and independence of char acter, challenges not only the admira tion of his own people but those of the civilized world.. His bridle hand which guided his steed to the attack, from use is is hard as his former charger's hoof ; his sword arm which wielded his sharp and glittering blade jerv.es him no longer. My object in making an appeal for this bereaved and worthy man is, to raise a moderate sum, not as charity but a fre will off ering of a generous people, to one worthy of their esteem, so that we could lighten his burden by providing means to place him in some small business uited to his intelligence and condition. We will help him, and we know the. good people of Asheville will lend a hand in this laudable work, j vs.. a' .mm ' m 1 a l i: Ll this article should meei ine eye 01 those who opposed him in arms, they would cheerfully respond to the appeaj to relieve a brave and good soldier. Mr. Kerr, of the Citizen, an4 Mr. Don- ohue, of the Evening Journal, kindly offer to receive contributions, and he writer would be more than pleased to act in a similar capacity. If all realized that what we have in the good things of life in this world are ants and pieas- Ner 101k and intermediaie points. It will also connect with the Pocahontas, which is the best coaking coal field in the country. This coal will be supplied to :an extensive district, from Hot Springs to Charleston, S. CI The iron ore region tributary to this road is said to surpass in richness and vastness any iron sec tion in the Southern States. "Another line, which is also now being surveyed and which may form a part of the same system, is the Unaka and Nola Chuckey Railroad, which will connect at Morri6town with the Nashville. Chatta-1 nooga and St. Louis, crossing the Caro lina, Greenville and Southern about twenty miles northeast of Morristown, thence running about thirty miles north, connecting with the Three C's at Erwin The length of this road is about fifty miles.- It traverses a beautiful and fer tile valley. At one hand are fine tobacco lands, while at the other are high moun tains containing vast stores of iron ors. These mountains are clothed with mag nificent timber, cutting in many instances 40,000 feet to the acre. The completion of i these two railroad lines is fraught with the largest local benefits, while the links they form in extensive systems invest them with great public interest." In addition to the abovt we will call the attention of the South to another most important line now projected. It is the Hot Springs, Webster and Savan nah Railroad, to run from Hot Springs through Haywood and Jackson (via Webster) to Savannah,. Georgia, thus opening one of the richeit sections in mineral,timber and agricultural resources in the South.

The Baltimore Manufacturers' Record says: . "Asheville, M. C , seems to know no limit to its energy and enterprise. The work that it ha already done in munici pal improvements, such as sewerage, in which it has taken the lead; water works, paving, etc., has only stimulated its people to 6till greater progress. Last week the citizens voted half a million dollars for additional improvements thus setting a wise example for all other Southern towns that need sewerage water works, good streets, etc These are improvements that always add to the progress and prosperity of a place." And we can add for the information of our friends of the Record that since the election there has been more enquiry of and investment in property in and near the city than ever before. The progress and prosperity of Asheville are now assured. The City Hall Again. The vpw8 of TnE Democrat last week in opposition to the plan of the proposed City Hall, have been endorsed by all citizens who have mentioned the matter to us. We repeat : If a market house Is to be erected, then necessarily thsre should be good streets around the entire building. The idea that a market house for all this population should be closed in on two sides,open only on two, aud in a basement. under a horse stable the fire department. surrounded by other offensive institu- ions, is a discredit to the city. Again : The fire department should be elsewhsre. As lefore stated, the square s necessarily more or less crowded every day, and when the fire alarm is sounded, not only is delay caustd tke department n getting out, but absolute danger to people and vehicles threatened.

The administration the past two years has boen honest and faithful, doing all that means at command would permit for the j permanent betterment of our city. The new ad ministration will rnntfnnp thflr good efforts, enjoying, however, larger W AFERETTES and more liberal facilities. The re election of Mayor Blanton by a largely increased majority is the best evidence of his consciencious and pro gressive conduct or allairs the past two years. L.arge opportunities nave been con ferred upon the incoming administration for doing great and good work for Asheville. We believe they will come to the full measure of these opportuni ties. If so, Asheville will, within two I or three years, be the most attractive and prosperous city in North Carolina, if not the South. 11 every ciuzen wor narmony MjLK CRACKERS, WllU IUC AttVUI 1UU A1UCIU1CU lO kU15 good end.

It would be wise to select and purchase such sites before property gets higher, as it will surely rapidly do. But, if the fire department is to be continued in the City Hall, then the horses certainly should not be kept over ! the market house, for obvious reasons. Another argument against the market house in the basement of the City Hall the basement will reahy be needed for a calaboose and other necessary arrange ments for the building. Ground is jist being broken for the building, and now is the time to make such alterations as are suggested, both by reason and public interests. We again urge onr city authorities to con sider these objections, for they reflect the sentiments, as we know, of very many of oar people. As strange as it may seem, this is what George Yanderbilt is paying for a tennis court he is having made on his estate near his million and a half palace. Bat he can afford it. It will not be any more money out or his pocket than a tenuis racket would cost an ordinary mam I hope he is a good player ; if not, I .would hate to beat him on his own eround. He will doubtless ask some of ns oat to play with him. We all hope so j anyhow." TOLKEO&ER, No. 41 College St., Near Spruce
