The Flower Mission and the Emergen cy Fund committee are, just now, oases in the desert lives of many a poor per son in Asheville.' The Mission central office, on Spruce street, was the Mecca toward which the eyes of men and women, boys and girls, of both races, were turned. The news of the generous outpouring of funds on Thursday had been told of all men, and the glad tidings had entered A Custom of Long ARo lu era Nortb Carolina. The introduction of a bill in I lie North Carolina Legislature, looking to the re peal of the law establishing "proces sioning day" brings to the attention of the public a very peculiar custom that obtained long ago in the eastern part of the State. F. A. Sond!ey, esq., of this city, gives The Citizen some facts concerning this old law. It was the custom in olden times, under this law, for every owner of land to tura out on "proces sioning day" (a designated time each year) and walk around his boundary, looking after bis lines. It sometimes occurred, and it happens now adays, that disputes arose between neighbors as to the lines of their respect ive properties. In casea of this kind the matter was taken to the clerk of the court, and a jury of six ordered to estab lish the correct boundaries. W bat tnis ROAD CONGRESS'S WORK GOV. GARBS.

And the crowd ! It was a procession along Spruce street from 11 o'clock in the morning till 6 o'clock in the afternoon. Never before had that usually auiet street had such a bustling appearance, the parties to the controversy must needs be content. The law long ago fell into disuse, but has never been taken from the statute books. THE KINDERGARTEN Equal in Strength and Flavor to Best Java and Mocha. KROGER. - - BON MARCHEl imported W. B. OWYN.

We are Sole Agent, in A.bevillc for Never before bad the Mission office been besieged by such a hungry, eager crowd as that which stood about the door. The visitors sometimes old men or old women, with the terrible word Hun ger all too plainly written on their faces went to the office with an expectant look, and came away with the smile of realization of some cherished hope. Fre quently they came away with packages under their arms, while to other instances they carried orders to merchants ot tne city for articles such as were not at the office. Little ones, too, there were, sent by parents who probably could not leave their rooms. The little fellows, many of whose faces betokened scanty food, huddled together, stamped their feet, and breathed upon their benumheri I fingers, while waiting for their turn at the office counter. The crowd was so great that the little office 'ttas filled to overflowing, and n plan was adopted of admitting ouly a few at a time. In the office during the day were Miss Chester, the president of the Flower Mission, Mrs. Tucker, Mis. Carmichael, Mrs. Ward, Miss Chapman, Mrs. Barnard, Miss Collins and Mrs. Lee, and the crowd's wants were at tended to as rapidly as willing hands could render the service?.' The name ot every applicant was registered as he or she was served, and those not known were put through a close examination. In various portions of the office were stowed away barrels of flour, meat, etc., and from these bundles were made up and the applicants for charity were sent away with hands full ol lood and hearts full of thankfulness to the noble ladies of the Mission and the generous public. without whose aid the organization could do little. There was a crowd in the store of Chairman J. D. Brevard, ot the disburs ing committee, all day. The names of applicants were recorded and the appli cants were sent to the Flower Mission with the request that the Mission give the bearer an order on the "emergency fund" for whatever was necessary, if found deserving. There were many people who needed aid but whocould not reach the Mission, and for these cases tbc ser vices of some one were needed, in carrying packages. The offer made by Prof. P. I. Claxton yes terday, to send a number of school boys to deliver packages, was, therefore. doubly welcome. The .matter was pro posed" before the schoolsclosed yesterday, and a number of boys volunteered. As soon as relieved of school duties the Volunteer Relief Corps, wearing badges of blue ribbon, went to the Mission office and were soon hurrying over the city with bundles, working with an earnest ness that showed that their hearts were in it. They carried happiness into many homes, and none were happier than these boys. The volunteers fiom the white schools were: I. Scbayer, Herbert Revnolds, F. Mil ler, C. Ottinger, E. Gudger, li.

Aabevltle trie pioneer In Tills 'Work: In Morlh Carolina Asheville has made a good beginning with four Free Kindergartens, and a normal training classof twelve members. It is the first city in the State to take up the work, and it is watched with deep interest by educators throughout the State. Many encouraging words of hope and wishes for success come to the association from friends of the cause all over the Union. That "the Kindergarten solves the problem of pauperism and crime" is the verdict of every thoughtful man and wo man in these times. Recent articles in the Century, Overland Montblv, Chris tian Union and the foremost newspapers show the powerful bold this movement has upon the public mind. livery friend of the vork in this city will wish that success mnv attend the efforts of the band of noble women who have made Asheville the pioneer in the State in this good work.

The campaign of education on the road question has been opened, aud the speeches in the Road Congress today showed that the people have determined to grapple with the curse of bad roads, and will remove the iucubus to the progress and prosperity of North Carolina. The large number of responses to roll call at the opening session was a sur prise, generally expressed in the words of a road aeiegate, -i never saw auyTuing like it." ' Governor Carr in his address of wel come said he regarded the present svs tern of working tne roads as a signal taii- ure. and that be was so mucn in teres tea in the questions to come before the Con gress that he would at an earlv date submit a paper on the subject for the consideration of the Legislature, After the election ot permanent otneers the Congress was invited to continue its session in the House ot Representatives, and the shivering delegates waded throuet the snow to that point. When ex-Governor Holt appeared on the plat form he was given a warm reception. and in response to a call he stated his position to be that ot an internal im provemcnt man; he suggested the great diversity of the needs in the various sec tions of the State, and counselled pru dent and conservative measures of relief. The Committee on order of Business, of which Charles McNamee is a member. reported the following subiects at the afternoon session : 1. The benefit of good roads, and the values saved bv their use. 2. Is there any need at tbis time tor the improvement of our public roads? The special reasons t hereto r. 3.

North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia aud Texas have favorite sons, all of whom are willing to accept the Mexican mission, with its salary attachment of $17,000 an nually. The North Carolinians are mak ing vigorous efforts to impress upon Mr. Cleveland that Mr. V m . M. Robbins of that State, who was a member of the Forty-third, Fortv-fourtb, and the Forty-fifth Congresses, is the proper roan for the place. His friends declare that he is as well qualified, if not bet ter, than any one yet mentioned for the place, being a scholar, a statesman, and a soldier. The North Carolina delega tion in Congress are being urged to pre sent bis claims to Mr. Cleveland iu the strongest terms possible. N. Y. Sun. PUBLIC BVILDIMGS. maintain ing them 5.
