Dori’t You Like
This Town?
You live here. Your
business interests are
here. Your home is
here.
You are reading a
Mail Order Catalogue.
That indicates that you
are not spending your
money in this town.
You are spending it
with strangers in a big
city. That city has no
use for this town except
to get your money.
This town has use
for your money. If
spent here, y<mr money
will help to build up the
toAvn. It will help to
build up your own busi
ness.
In the long run more of your *
money will come back to you if you
spend it at home than if you send it
to Chicago or some other large city.
You spend a dollar with Smith, up
• • the-! street. Smith spends, it with ^
Brown, around the comer. Brown
is just as likely to spend it with you
as with anybody else. Did you ever
think of that?
All of' Tis have to spend money; There is an art in
spending it where it will do, the most good. K spent so
that it^wiU circulate around' this town and community, it
wiU help this town and community. You belong to this
^wn and community. Therefore it will help you. Isn’t
that good logic ?'■* ; “
Suppose you think It over next time : si:

NEWS NOTES FROM THE MOUNTAIN
METROPOLIS OF INTEREST TO
NEWS READERS.
From Our Regnl€ur Correspondent.
With several capital cases oH the'
docket at this term of Snperior
conrt and with a fight in progress
concerning the approaching elec
tion for or against a two thousand
dollar bond issue for good roads.
Asheville people have a variety of
subjects to discuss but in addition
to these things of local interest the
eyes of the whole country are
turned toward this city due to the
fact that a millionaire and his wife
are sueing one-another for divorce
and the stage settings are in this
city although both parties are non
residents here The case in ques
tion is that of the well known mil
lionaire Commodore Merrill Beech
er Mills and his wife Mrs. Lila
Mills and the case is being tried out
west but most of the star witnesses
are Asheville people of social stand
ing. The divorce proceedings are
the culmination of alleged miscon
duct of Mrs. Mills while on a visit
to Asheville last summer and also
I
the claim of the husband to the ef
fect that a certain Asheville gentle
man, whose name has not been dis
close! alienated his wife’s affec
tions during her stay in this city.
When the announcement was made
that the trouble was aH due to
Mrs. Mills visit to this city and
that a prominent Asheville man
was at the bottom of all the trou
ble between the millionaire and his
wife considerable interest was man
ifested in the case. Since it be
came known that an Asheville man
was the correspondent in the case
the Asheville j)eople have been
speculating who the :^oung “Sport”
could be but the conamissioners in
the case who are taking down the
testimony of the various witnesses
have so far held the hearings be
hind closed doors and only people
who are directly interested in the
case as witnesses are allowed in the
court chamber. Commodore Mills
secured the foundation for his di
vorce proceedings here in Ashe
ville by employing detectives and
sending them to this city and as
soon as this was discovered by Mrs.
Mills she is said to have imported
detectives from New York and had
them shadow the other men em
ployed by her husband. With all
of these efforts on the part of the
principals in the case to bring out
charges and counter charges and
with the setting of the case in our
usually quiet city the Asheville
gossips are bubbling over with the
knowledge of who is the man in
the case. Up to the present writ
ing about twenty-five young men
of good families are talked of as
the right man] by some of those
busy bodies, but it is hard to tell
who’s who and what’s what.
As stated in this correspondence
the city boardchave decided to in
crease the liquor license from one
thousand dollars per year *to two
thousand but the matter has been
changed so tbat there is only an
increase of tw^o hundred dollars in
the licence tax and the sum of
twelve htindred dollars has been
decided u’pon.
Od6 6t tlie largest real estate
deals closed in this city for some
time is 1?he sale of the Golf Club
Grounds at the terminus of the
Charlotte street car line. The
property was purchased from the
Pack estate for the sum of twenty-
six thousand dollars by Dr. C. V.
Reynolds, D. C. WMdell and C. C.
Millard. The property purchased
amounted to' about 120 acres and
it ^is said that the plat will be cut
into building lots and converted in
to a residential park.
Work on the new street railway
whose charter was recently grant
ed will shortly begin. The line
will start at the corner of North
Maine and College streets and run
to the top of Sunset Mountain open
ing up a new territory and also the
old Overlook park which for a
number of years was classed among
one of the chief attractions of this
city for the visitors who come here
in the summer months. The new
company has made a statement
that they will reduce the usual five
cent rate in the following manner :
They will sell six full fares for 25
cents and then in addition to that
will give a coupon with each 25
cents worth of tickets. When five
of these coupons are^held by a per
son the company will issue one
round trip ticket from the city ter
minus to the top of the motmtain
and return.
Up to the present writing Judge
Boyd has not handed down his de
cision in the Toxaway' Hotel Com
pany’s proceedings in which the
oompany contends that it can not
be adjudged bankrupted. It is un
derstood that although the compa
ny is having trouble with its cred
itors and that the company’s man
agement are making preparations
to open up their hotels in the Toxa
way Country and it is stated that
the business Will be conducted un
der the same management. Presi
dent Burrowes who is in the north
at the present writing announces
that the Toxaway Inn will be open
ed the first of April and booklets to
that effect are now being distribut
ed. It is also said that the other
hotels of the company will be
opened later in the season.

the Diabetes stage. I fully believe
Electric Bitters will cure me perma
nently, tor it has already stopped
the liver and bladder complications
which have troubled me for years.’’

Dream Happenings,
“We haven’t that article in stock,”
said the druggist
“Can’t you give me something equal
ly as good?’
“No, sir. There isn’t anything equal
ly as good.”
“Why do you cease talking?** inquir
ed the visitor to the opera box. “Do I
Interrupt a tete-a-tete?”
“Oh, no!” replied the charming host

perhaps those on the stage.’*
“Missus,” began the cook, “I have
been with youse now a year. I hopes
my services pleases.”

A Sorry Prospect For the Future.
Dupre had l)een rather a naughty boy
on the street car, and after they reach
ed home his mother corrected him in
the good old fashioned way, though not
anything like so severely as he imag
ined.
“Now, Dupre,” she said, “I hope you
will remember what happens when
boys do not obey their mothers and
next time we are on the cars that you
will sit quietly, as mother tells you.”
“Yes, m-m-mother,” he sobbed. “I
w-will if I am e-e-ever able to s-s-sit
down anywhere a-a-again.”—Woman’s
Home Companion.
False Alarm.
Fraulein Laura had put a stopper on
the poet's protestations and refused h5«
suit, and the poet, in a great state,
drew his knife out of his pocket.
“For heaS en’s sake,” shrieked Laura,
“don’t kill yourself! I will listen to
you!”
“Good!’" said the poet, returning hU
knife to his pocket. “But I was only
going to sharpen my pencil to write
you a^farew<elL|>^m.”—IiJstige. Blat-

With 228 newspaper men reporting .
the Thaw trial, the public can rest as
sured of getting the whole truth and
then some more.
Neighbors Got Fooled.
“I was literally coughing myself
to death, and had become too weak
to leave my bed, and neighbors pre
dicted that I would never leave it
alive; but they got fooled, for thanks
be to God, I was induced to try Dr.
King’s New Discovery. It took just
four one dollar bottles to completely
cure the cough and restore me to
good sound health,” writes Mrs,
Eva Uncapher, of Grovertown,
Stark Co., Ind. This king of cough
and cold cures, and healer of throat
and lungs, is guaranteed by Z. W.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to karn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages,
and that is Catarrh. HalPs Catarrh
Cure is the only positive < ure now
known to the medical fraternity^
Catarrh being a constitutional dis
ease, requires a constitutional treat
ment. HalPs Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the foun
dation of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in
doing its work. The proprietors
have so much faith in its curative
powers that they offer one hundried
dollars for any case that it fails to
cure. Send for list of testimonials.
