KALKIGU NOTES. A Baptist1 Appointment Book Agent Anti-Vice Society Three Tickets. Raleigh, N. C, March 9. Rev. B. W. Spilman of Kinston bas been elected Sunday school missionary of the Bap tists in North Carolina. He is a grad uate of Wale Forest college and his headquarters are to be in th:s city. He will also have charge of tbe Baptist fun day school supply store. The . office marks another stip forward by the Baptists. Among recent visitors here was J. Frank Ray, the "game cock" member of tbe House from Macon county. He is now an agent for Ginn& Co., the book concern. A non-sectari-tn societv for tbe super vision of vice is being i rmed here. There are 46 barrooms an'l two places where gamblirg is done. Or.e of the latter was wide open some months ego and many people dropped money there. There are many houses of ill-fame, but perhaps not more than usual at a capital. "Here vou are," said a IX-mocrat to- day. "Viiu can say, with a good show ol bitting the nail on the bead, that there will be three candidates for governor in the field: Tulian S. Carr. Democratic; W. A. Guthrie, Populist; Oliver H D.ick- ery, Kepublican. 1 will add to this gu-ss that tbe National Democratic convention will declare for silver. Now, mind you, tbe silver party may put up a ticket in this State, but I do not think so, for I believe tbe Populists want to retain their organization. IN A VISION. Mrs. Van Dvke of C'lnclnaati Foretold tbe Time of Her Death. A number of Asheville people who met Mrs. Mettie Florence Van Dyke of Cin cinnati while tbat lady was in this citv will regret to learn of her death, which occurred at h r home last week.

Trui to the vision, sbe died at 10 minutes to 11 o'clock yesterdav morning, sbe also made all arrarg. -ments for the funeral, requesting tbat sbe be huritd in ber bridal dress, and by the side of ber brother, at Blanches ter.

It Would Accommodate a Large Ter ritory of Banoombe. Tbe people of Leicester and Sandy Mush are mightily interested in the ques tion of the building of a bridge by the county across tbe French Broad river, five miles north of Asheville, at the siteol tbe eld Garmon bridge. A wooden bridge aoanned the liver at this point betore the war, but was burned by tbe Ftderals, and has never been rebuilt. The advocates ol tbe project point out that tbe bridge will accommodate the northwest section of the county, from Drr man's mountain to Hav wood county and Madison county lines. Tbe people of Leicester and Sandy Mush will have a better route to Asheville, it being a mile and a half shorter than tbe present route, and avoiding numerous railroad crossings and tbe heavy pulls necessary on tbe Dryman's mountain line. At the last meeting of the Commis sioners a petition asking tbe bridge was filed, with nearly 1000 signatures. Tbe question was eferred to a committee composed of all the Commissioners except Chairman J. E Rankin. This committee bas examined tbe site and will report at the April meeting. To span tbe river at the point desired will r quire a bridge 350 or tiOfeet long and costing from $5UOO to $8000 FOR TUB FUN OF IT. Team Takes a Lively Bun Over South Main, Patton Avenue, Etc.
