A I'rojeet that Should Receive Solid raicouraKemeiit. A prominent and zealous lady member of the W omen s Christian lemperauee Pnion, resident of this city, has furnished Tin-: CrnzKN with the subjoined interest ing information concerning luc estab lishment of a Chautauqua, or summer school of methods, in Ashevillc. Tin; Citizkx is iu full sympathy wit this movement and hopes carnestlv for its success. The establishment of the Chautauqua here will be beneficial to Ashevillc and much good will be the re sult of ils permanent locution in our midst. The ;ctter explains itself, ami should be read by every resident of the city thii morning. Aid the ladies in their project iu t his direction and you will help your selves and Ashevillc. The writer says: "The recent Stale convention ofihe W C. T. I . held in this eilv, has placed itsell on record in one respect, viz: lu agitat ing the question of establishing ;. Ashe viiic.nU.L. I. t. t liamauqua, or a Minimer hcliool ol .Methods as sum tar ones are styled. I Ins is an enter prise iu which the fullest confidence mav be placed, tor it will in many ways prove a credit toour place. It is a scheme thai will be mutually bciielicial: It will con tribute to Ashevillc many distinguished orators and scholars, already prominent in lhc literary world. Lectures are one of tile principal features of these assem- oiics. .a i i.aue tiiiui, in., and al .Moun tain Lake I 'ark, Md., t hese snmuici schools have become wondeiluMv popu larized, and as the extreme Southern Slates are loo remote to be benefitted bv those already establed, it was thought advisable for lhc W. C. T. l"s. of lh Southland Lo select a place for rendez vous, and we sincerely hope- that Ashe villc may be thus enhanced iu atliaclivc uess as a resort. A new element of lilt may be put iuli our summer season bv this means. Chicago has its Lake Hltiff. .New York ils Chautauqua, Maryland her Mountain Lake Park, Tennessee hei Mouteagle and Florida her LuLcde Fn niak ; then, why not North Carolina 'hei Ashevillc Chautauqua. "It sti iki s ine we can not do a belter thing than to help forward! this move mcnl. A permanent committee has al ready been appointed with represciiln livts from no less than lour States. Mrs. Woody North Carolina's W. C. T. I', president, and Mrs. lirauucr and Mrs. Cocke, o our local union, are members of this committee. Mrs. Wells National organizer of lhc W. C. T. F. is chairman of said com mil Lee. Should Ashevillc be se lected as the place for I lie a foresaid summer school, we know lull well some number of our local union will give a lot for the location of desirable buildings. The most important resull of ibis establish ment will be to bring the aims and scope ol the W. C. T. F. to the notice of inanv people who know little of its merit. For l he creel ion of headqua iers lor Ashe villc's local W. C. T. F , the sum ol $1 ,7H 1 has already been contributed, and we trust a sufficient sum to j list it v the erection of a handsome cdilicc will soon be collected. Then much work grcatiy needed hi our community may be successfully carried out. "flic practical work of cooking schools, kindergartens, sew ing schools, etc., art all diiect departments of the W. C. T. T., ai d these and other needed branches of work are successfully kept up wher ever the iocal unions have suitable head quarters. Mr. Peters, the lumber king, of Manistee, Mich., gave the W. C. T. I '. of Hay View So.OUO for the erection ol their headquarters, recognizing the vast amount of good thereby to be accom plished. Lei none who are able refuse to donate accordingly lo this most worthy enterprise. The local habitation must be erected by our own people, but lhc Chautauqua building or buildings, will be the result oj united etiorl through the South. Is there not some friend .f hu manity residing in llunconibc county, who would like to contribute something toward the W. C. T. F. headquarters r Smallest favors gratefully rvcived and larger ones iu proportion, bear in mind, by these women banded together tor liod and home and humanity." Till. t lll Kl III H TO-OAT.

I'ATTOKi AVKNI'K WIl.I.liKT IT IvAKI.V ISi NKI-'I'KMIIKH, OHlmasler Cannon Appllea to the AiillioriticH lor the Needed Per. mission to Make the Chanice In Location IntereMtlniE FactH. Tin- iiistoHitc is to be removed and I'.'itton ;iveum- will j-el it. At Ic-ist tluit is what a prominent cifl'i- ti.il .-mployeil in Unit institution inform ed n litizi.n representative Inst nijlit. n lien asked lor the faets concerning the removal the L'entleman said: "It is the intention of postmaster Can non to remove the postoHicc from its present location early during the coming month, and lo that cud he has alreadv applied to the postal authorities at Washington lor permission to make the change in site. His application was only made a lew days since, and consequently nothing has liccn heard of it yet, but it is almost certain that the necessary permis sion wiil n,, i ,c withheld. "If the permission is granted, and there is no iloulil in my mind concerning that point, the postollice will lie removed admit September III, to the new llarliiiis building on Palton avenue. And the reasons for this removal arc easily given when it is taken into con sideration the lack of room anil con veniences liy w hich we arc now handi capped iu our present location. There is nothing like enough room for a speedy and satisfactory distribution of the heavy mails which wc handle every dav, and iu the way of needed conveniences there arc simply none. Again, the pro posed new iiiartcrsarc three hundred feet nearer the court house than the present site, and it is Mi- I '.-i V i.i:..r ,1 " tl Kit. il cater number of people who receive ail through the Ashevillc office will be benefitted by the change. These are only lew of the many other reasons, and nod ones, too, that miuht be inV,-n C,- the proposed removal of the oilice. I Hear that petitions have been sentto Washington signed by certain citizens of Aslicvillc asking that Mr. Cannon's ap plication lor permission to remove the illicc be rcfus d, but I don't think that these petitions will amount to much when the change is asked ami son,. lit by a much greater number of people. However, I do not speak authoritativelv hi this point and do not wish to be iiiolcil as having IIIIV lirefeivnrp in llin matter of locatio beyond my own indi- iilual coinlort in the proper and satis-u-'orv discharg. of mv - duties' to the postollice department and the neonle ho receive tlieir mails at this office. "And, by the way, 1 almost foriret to mention the fact that owiii" i tl. rowded and cramped situation of our present quarters a free mail delivery sys tem is not to be thought of, for the one reason only that the room is totally in- nllieient for the transaction of that most important and difficult branch of the postal service. As soon as the chantre of ncalion isell'cctcd application for a free nail delivery system in Ashevillc will be untie, and that the application will re civc the endorsement of the Washington iflicials 1 am quite certain. Hut there will be no free mail delivery for some years to come if we arc compelled to re main in a place w here even o,-,l,',,n,- mails are handled with great difficulty ind disadvantage all around. "There is a slight possibility that the iilliec will not be removed. 1 admit, but the people will be the mourners at the Mineral and not ourselves. We believe the people ol Ashevillc desire the most rili. liciil postal service that can be given them, and with this belief postmaster Cannon is iloini' what he coiis. ;, t;,,ui.. believes to be the right thing in asking the ilcpnrtmciil lor permission to change the location of the Ashevillc postortiee." The olliciai then further said ili.-.l ilu. new location would be handsomely ami iinvcinciitly fitted np, with advantaccs that no other buililint! in the eilv ,.,,,,1,1 icgiu lo oiler, and finally closed his re marks with the assertion that "li, the change is made the postollice will lie hcttci managed than it has ever been be fore." The HanuliiclnrerH1 Record, Wc had a call yesterday from Mr. John P. Collin, representing the above valuable publication. Mr. Coffin is a geullcincii of high intelligence and verv pleasant manners, and wc feel assured he will make a pleasant impression upon all with whom lie conies in contact. Of course he comes in the interest of his pa per ; let that lie Iraukly stated, lint that would ensure welcome ratherthan other wise. The Record is emphatically the Southern journal of industrial informa tion and development. Probably it has done more good, intelligent and useful work as applied to Southern material interests than any other paicr in the South, and that localise it has applied itself industriously, persistently and ably to that object. Not a State in the South has escaped its closest scrutiny ; not an industry that has not licen examined, es timated, approved, or condemned if de lusive or valueless. Wc hope to learn of a large increase of circulation for the Record. IHNeball Venter-day. At Chicago Chicago 2, Vieksliurg 7, in Mil. Al Indianapolis Indianaolis5, Clcve aud 7.
