The Bacbelora ot Asheville expressed tbeir disapproval of the recent desertion from the ranks of single blessedness of Nic. A. Raysor and White G.

". iitizun subscription list, l nese names have been dropped becaure the sub scribers object to pavitij? either 15 cents per week, at tbe end of the week, or 50 cents per mouth in advance to the carriers or at the office for the paper. The rule governing payments for Tin; Citizen was adopted with the new year, not as a mere whim or sentiment, but because the system of collections heretofore practiced was so expensive as to make the subscription list well nigh worthless. It is hoped these old friends will see this matter as it is, simply business, und that th-y will soon be readers again. THEY SHOW SAND AT LAST IMPORTANT AMENDMENT THE WIL.SON IUI.I..

A DlHlnleclrd Account of 11 He cent Occurreuce. The Greensboro Record says the par ties to the recent scandal there were. Capt. E. L. Gilmer; his wife, who is 11 daughter of Colonel Thomas II. Kcogh and a sister to Mrs. Conrad of Danville; rrnnl Holland, and, last, but not least, a revolver. The Record adds: "It is said Mr. Gil mer took no one into his confidence, but laid his own plans mid carried them out to the best ol his ability. His wife, we understand, says she was guilty of great indiscretion hut not of criminality. Whether she intends to fight the suit for divorce is not known. If she does there will likely be a stirring up of things, for we understand, how true we are unable to say, that several co-respondents will be named of exceedingly great promi nence throughout the State, "It is understood thut Mr. Gilmer has taken steps to secure n divorce at once. "There is one child about three years old, now in the custody of the mother." Mr. Gilmer has a number of friends in Asheville, where he has taken part in gun club contests. He is a member of the Greensboro club, and was iormcrly cap tain of the Gitillord Grays, n military company. WAS IT LINO CiVN'S t A Hat Fouud Near Where IIlH BodT Was Found. A letter written to W. F.

Property owners on the various streets paved under the improvement act Leld a mcetiug in the court house last evening to take the initial steps in procuring an injunction restraining the city from collecting the assessments, the idea be ing to have the collections delayed until the next meeting of the Legislature, when relief is expected by enactment.

Alter tbe meeting the committee of 10 held a meeting, making John H. Mc Dowell chairman and J. H. Tucker see rctury. After discussion a sub-committee of two, John H. McDowell and W. T. Penniman, was appointed to negotiate with attorneys relative to the suit. Jesse R.

These committees were instructed to report to a meeting of the committee of 10 in the city hall at o'clock this even ing. The property owners, particularly those on South Main street, arc taking this step because of what they consider in equality of assessment. A special objec tion is raised to the fact that the cost ol the culvert and retaining walls, as well as the damages paid to property owners, have been charged to the street, and pro rated against the abutting property owners.
