He concluded from the description that it would uit him, and he started South to look into it, but never having been in Western Carolinh concluded to come by way of Asheville. He reached here, called on us, and we gave him information which would enable him to reach the point de3ired and at the same time see as much of our section as he could, which he desired to do. He remained in Asheville some two weeks, and finally concluded he was so charmed with our city that he would buy and locate here, which he has done. He has a number of friends, however, who are coming to this section of the South, and he thinks they will select some re tired place in our mountains and estab lish a quiet mountain ranch. All will be heartily welcomed. Thus adveitising in The Democrat pays. 1 ierCastoria.fJoI: iforCastorkturJ ngtoCasW t ethemCaM will be undertaken at an early date. The Thermal Belt Improvement Company iE now building an elegant hotel at Esmer alda, near Chimney Rock Falls, to be finished throughout with native hard wood3. Near this will also be one of the plants to furnish power for the road, and other industrial enterprises contemplated by the company at this point. Mr. Tur ner, business agent of the company, has been invited to meet with capitalists about the 1st of December with a view of constructing: the road. The Dkmo- crat suggests to the company that after reaching Fairview from Hickory Nut Falls the route be taken down Cane Creek to Arden, thence follow the Spar tanburg line to Asheville This would save the heavy grades and cut at Mine Hole Gap and pass through one of the best farmim; sections of our county This road, when completed, will open up one of the most beautiful and richest sections of all this mountain country The Hickory Nut Gap aud Falls," uhim ney Rock, the famous Bald Mountain and many other noted attractions are immediately upon the route ; besides, it will connect Asheville direct with Ruth erfordton, one of the livest and most DTomisine: towns in the State. At Ruth erlordton connections will be made with Ihe great Seaboard System, giving con nections with Norfolk, Raleigh, Char lotte, Wilmington and Atlanta; also with the Three C's road, giving connec tions direct with Charleston, S. C. Our people can thus see the great advantage this line will be to Asheville and all this section. Mr. Reynolds is enthused ever this project and its prospects. We cer tainly wish him and his company all suc cess. in their very unique but important enterprise. that spot, delaying it until evening. A new schedule will go into effect on the "Western North Carolina road next Sunday. The Democrat will contain the corrected schedule next week.

The Democrat has referred to this important event to two friends who share so largely in the esteem of this commu nity.

He has been for years identified with the mercantile and manu facturing interests of our city, and no man in the city enioved or deserved more fully the confidence and esteem of all. He was fifty-nine years of age and leaves a wife, several children and many relatives and friends to mourn his death. His remains were taken to Charlotte for interment. He was a member of the masonic ana heverai oiner orders ana was buried with masonic honors. We regret to hear of the death of Mr. Sol. W. Carter, which occurred ct his home in Burnsville a few days ago. He dropped dead while in the act of arising from his bed. He was an estimable citi zen and his death is regretted by all. General Clingman. Our distinguished townsman, Gen. Clingman, will leave m a day or two for a visit to relatives and friends in Eastern Carolina, and from thence will go io New York to look after his electric light patents which are now being tested with a view to putting them to use. Gen. C. has recently received letters from prom inent gentlemen in New York proposing to organize a company to adopt his patents. They have been thoroughly and successfully testea in uer.nany, France, England and the United States, and pronounced far superior to any other invention, so Gen. L other electric light their own patents, have combinod to prevent the use of the Clingman patents, but the General is now encouraged to think that the gentlemen now investigat ing the matter will organize an independ ent company and adopt his patents. If bo, it will make our distinguished friend a very rich man, which will certainly be pleasing to his many friends throughout the country. And it will cause a demand for the zirons which are found so abund-1 A log train ran away on the Murphy branch of the VVestern North Carolina railroad, about two o'clock Tuesday morning, near jthe junction with the main line near this city. The train was composed of six flat cars and a caboose with engineer John Morris, fireman B. B. Arthur, conductor Frank Taylor, flag man John- O Connor, and Sam Moore and Wm. Twitty, colored brakemen. The tracks were slippery, the grade heavy, and the brakes would not hold the train, which rushed down the hill at the rate of a mile a minute. When it struck tie main line the engine left the track and the six loaded cars went over an em bankment fifteen feet high, landing in Red Egypt. Some of the Ions struck a building iu which were three horses, Penland, a clerk in A. D. Cooper's gro cery store; the other one, owned by II. Hudgins, was only slightly hurt. The two colored brakemen were alio killed, being crushed in a horrible manner. The conductor and flagman had cut the ccboose loose from the train, and thus saved that and themselves. by tall stately palms, gracefully arranged.
