The Democrat points with pride to its splendid array of the leading business houses of Asheville represented in its columns; but to no one more than to Mimnaugh's Complete Dry Goods stoe. Mr. Mimnaugh confines himself strictly to one line, deals only in one line, and Is deservedly building up a wonderful busi ness.

It is printed in ten lan guages and the annual issue exceeds fourteen millions of copies. Ask your druggist for it. Those Feet. Some kind lady friends called attention to the etatt-ment of the last Democrat that Mr. Kepler had at his popular grocery store some "three feet cheeses and salmon," and say they never knew such things t have feet. Our friends must remember, that like Mr. Kepler himself these cheeses and salmon are very mod est, and won't show their feet in public. Even the pickled pigs feet are kept covered up. Tobacco. The breaks the past week or ten days, not only on this, but on other markets, have been the worst, so far as quality goes, we have ever seen or heard of. It is very rare that a pound of good tobac co wa3 offered. The prices for that of fered, was very satisfactory. It is hoped, after the holidays, that good tobacco will come in.
