They have simply to procure a decision adverse t- the validity of the bonds. They are n.'t required to defend any other suits that will surely be brought and probably be won'against the county of JSurieombe compelling it to refund to Blair i Co. or their assigns every dollar, with interest thereon, that Ulair & Co. advanced and lent to the county of Buncomb? for the pur pose, though it was. of paying off the possibly void bonds issued to the Ashe ville & Spartanburg Railroad company over 2l years ago. No misguided person who wrnild real ly like to see Buncombe county relieved from this debt need congratulate hira- e-lf over the outcome of this particu lar suit. For as sure as the sun shines, the county of Buncombe will have to refund every dollar of this money, be-sidt-s carrying for generations the odious and incalculably expensive weight. of aii.t-ini.ited repudiation, and the addi tional ' depletion of her pocketbook by thf sum of Jiwoo ,to be paid to Mark V.

This is true, but !ook hard now and find, anywhere in the contract any provision that the attorneys are to receive nothing, or to refund any part of the "traveling ex penses or board bills," in the event of failure on their part! The door is wide pen for this board of commissioners to ay out to these attorneys whatever "Teas-' nabie fees" they demand for their services, and we predict that there will be little, if any trouble in ar riving at a satisfactory understanding.

It is Almost Ruined in This Genera tion by High Collars. From th" New York Sun. Woman's neck is almost ruined. Th. nigh. -stiff linen collar has done it. Sure ly those observers who discovered tnai er thing good has its evil must have iw-en fashion icriters in their day. The hih collar plays havoc with what poets call the slender, marble Volutin, ..f milky whiteness and so on. One ha ..illy to look carefully at the necks ol ihe women at the opera, at the ball, ai a icivption, lo see that they aren't w hat they used lo be. The high rollai as left its mark. To look well it ha: lo be worn tight enough to hinder per- tvet ii i illation, and that causes tht link t e se its plumpness, the skin ti !os- its ! i.e. soft le-xture and purity ol color. The nv, k of the average woman wher. billed nowadays instinctively make: the average man think of the sere anc x-Uow leaf. He has no idea what ha: lone it. but he knows that women's necks and shoulders aren't so pretty .is they used to be. And how does ht settle the why and wherefore in hi; u mind? l' Mir, deluded man. H pats himself on the back and says "You are growing old and cynical. You are sated with woman's physica harms ami have reached that stag I n life where the intellectual has mori harm." He doesn't dream that sucl a little thing as a linen colar is tht atisv of the difference. Woman hav commenced to see the dual nature ; ihe stiff collar and to contemplate it evil side, and already she is beginninc to abandon it. "Iist fall when I returned from tht oantry." testifies a woman with stunningly white and 'plump neck. "1 found that my neck .vas ruined. You s.f we"d l-en roughing it in the Maine u(nii for three weeks, and X had n casion ti wear low-necked gowns, so didn't know it until 1 got back to tht city. It was stringy, yellow looking vnoity. and altogether unsightly. The lirst thing-1 did was to discard linen l!ars. Then I began to bathe m -.e. k. aims and shoulders three times a 'sty in very i old water. This made thf ;sh lii'm and solid, and at night f ha th-- m. lid to rub and rub and rub coco; iiuiter into my neck and arms. In th''eo months ;ift.r persisting in this iti-ntment rn one would have suspeeteii that my neck had ever been anythin: hut beautiful.

"KEEP THE MONEY AT HOME; Appreciative Words From an Histori cal Journal From ti e' Trinity. N. C Home Journal. The Asheville Citizen is, we think, the very paper that many people want though its politics might not suit some. It is published every Tuesday and Kri ilay. and the price of the Semi-Weekly is ..lily $1.0" a year. It gives almost all the home news which interests peo ple generally, abbreviated, well ar 'ranged, and with appropriate and at tractive headlines. It is Well-printed and tlie editorials are finely written. A man who takes no paper said. "I've been thinking of sending to New- Y'ork for a cheap paper, so I can keep post i'd." Here is the paper he wants, and his money would stay at home. Let us ever be ready to recognize merit- at home. PEOPLE. Mrs. C. I'arish, aged 84. who has lost three fortunes, been three times ship wrecked oh three different oceans and who is now writing three books, gave an entertainment at the Sherman house in San Francisco to some of her friends, all of whom were over TO years ojd. Two of the gentlemen, aged respectively 93 and 10, sent re grets, pleading business engagements. Pile late Mary Cow den Clarke for the last lifty years of her life never per mitted any change in the style of her dress, and invariably wore the pic turesque and old-fashioned gowns w Inch w ere in vogue in the late "40s. These were always made of the rich est silks and satins, and opened in front, to display a dainty underskirt, llounced with tine old ltoniton lace. -Her manners were also quite of the old school. lfiehard Croker: the Tammany boss. is rigidly lemierate, and his private life is purity itself. It is related of him that tn the occasion of "scratch" dinner to which a doien or so of men had been invited he listen ed with disgust while one of the guests related with glee a fiction he had sent over the telephone to his wife as a reason for not dining at home. The guest was a famous mem ber of Tammany at the time, but Croker said of him: "That settles him. The man who will lie to his wife will lie to everybody." Never from that day would Croker have anything to do with him. and the re lator of fiction was soon cast out of Tammany. BOARD OF TRADE WORK PRESIDENT MORRISON DELIV ERS AN ADDRESS. A Valuable Report of Committee on Statistics AM Committees Ready for Work Scandinavian Editors New Members. The first regular meeting of the Asiievilte Board of Trade heid last eening in their new quarters in the Hilliard building was not as largely at tended as it should have been. There was an indication of activity, however, among the committees of the Board. The special committee on mem bership presented the names of 2b lieu members, and they w el e received by the board of directors. In opening the session of the board, President T. S.

(in motion a oopimittee of eight was appointed to call upon these editors and show them, as far as possible with in the limited time they will remain here, the advantages afforded agricul turists in this section. This committee, was announced by the president as folows: (. S. Powell, C. T. Rawls. H. F. Grant. W. T. Ma son. J. D. Eggleston. S. F. Chapman. O. B. Wright.

The Board of Trade is now regularl; launched, and if carried forward along the lines pointed out by President Mor rison in his address last evening, its usefulness for gotd to Asheville and Western North Carolina will be beyond computation.

THE NORMAL & COLLfcGIATK Editor The Citizen: Permit me to say a few words through your col umns about one of the most interest ing of Asheville's institutions, the Nor mal and Collegiate institute, which a party of Nis had the pleasure of visi ting a few days ago. The beginning of a new term gave us a chance to observe the methods of the school, as the new pupils were be ing examined for admission and the old ones graded into classes. A number of them were gathered in the pretty library, where a thousand volumes give ample opportunity to the student in the way of reference and supplementary study. The enrollment during the year has been about 'IZu, of whom nearly one rifth ate day scholars. The graduating classes vary from 10 to 2'J or more, showing that many pursue the studies from the beginning to the end of the course, coming out fully equipped as teacheis or woikers in other lines. Self-help Seems 'to be the principle everywhere taught; for tire girls not only follow the academic studies, or those of the business course, but also learn to make their own dresses and hats. ,to look after the comfort of the house, and most important of all co prepare food in a healthful and ap petizing manner. If there is one room more interesting than another, perhaps it is the cooking room, where eac h pu pil in the class has her burner'' tor cooking, her drawer for keeping hei , n utensils, and w here she carries on this fascinating work according to scientific methods. Most of tne cooking of the house is done by the girls themselves, and we fan bear hearty testimony to the deli ciousness of the results produced. Foi did not the principal give us a loaf ol bread to carry away with us? Anu I suppose it won't do to say that oui mothers could not equal it (that would t sacrilege): but certainly they could not surpass it. The teachers' dinner is cooked by the girls twice a week; the girls' dinner every day. This is the menu for the latter the day we were .here: Ham. browned potatoes, slaw corn bread, blanc mange for dessert The tea hers' dinner was a little more elaborate;, but not more delightfully ptvpareTT The girls attend ;t class in physica. culture, in addition to their household luties, and abundance of fresh air and exercise gives them ruddy cheeks and sparkling eyes. The laundry work is also done by the girls, under the inspection of the mat ron: and. indeed, this latter character izes all the work of the school. We "were much interested in the work ing of the steam heating apparatus, re cently introduced, which heats all the dormitories as well as the halls and recitation rooms, and ' preserves an even temperature throughout tht House. It is amazing to note the results ac eomp'ished outside the building with ihe limited means whic h the school has it its command: the grounds constant ly improved, hedges planted, walks laitl ml. lawn tennis and basket ball courts very where--outdoors and in the ut most order and neatness. It is noticeable that everything about he building has an air of comfort and mmelifct-ness which is more suggestive if a home than of a school. In fact, i; s a home, and the' good principal anr vife are' plainly father and mother t. 'he precious charges committed to '.heir care. During our visit, the prin cipal had occasion to telephone to the not her of one of the girls, whom a emporary indisposition had kept fron her studies; and 1 thought that if all principals showed sueTi solicitude foi '.he welfare of t'leir pupils, there vvoulc he fewer homesick girls in boardim--ih.iiis. The city and county are to tie con gratulated upon havingj.this school in heir midst : and onecanriot help hoping that frier.ds may be found to endow hairs in the different departments. St h:it-these ail vantages may be handed low n to future generations, w hen the "ien and women who have so gener ally pi ot i, led for them in the begin ning shall have passed away. A VISITOR. Hz. LANDED A JUG Unique Catch of Col. W. E. William -sin in Florida. Col. W. E. Williamson of Asheville. .t ho recently returned from his annual . i it to Florida, where he spends his time in fishing and other sports, brought with him what is possibly ihe 'iiost unique "catch" on record. Col. Williamson has landed every kind of fish known, from Hatteras to Key West.' the largest animate haul having been a 55 pound red fish. On January 12th last Col. Williamson was fishing fi;om a boat eight miles from St. Mark's light house on the Gulf coast of Florida. He was using in ordinary fish line and reel. As he w as about concluding his day s sport J nis nooK was : nung upon sometning .hat showed little disposition to resist but still not easily reeled in. Col. Wil liamson thought il was a bunch of oys ters, as he had before made such a atch. On reeling it to the boat side the Col onel found that he had resurrected a one gallon jug. the hook having caught In the handle. The jug was filled with. mud. and about the top and mouth was a cluster of noteless, than 10 full grown oysters, besides a dozen or more bar nacles, firmly grown to the vessel. The whole must have weighed near ,"0 pounds Col. Williamson thinks. One of the largest oysters was opened and oaten by Col. Williamson, and he says it was as fat and as fine as he ever ate. On the side of the jug is burned the 'ettering "Charlestown, W. Va.," Just how long this jug has been in the water could probably be approximated b some one familiar .with the growth and development of the oyster. TO BE WELL is to Be Happy and Usefu! Each person has hisi own idea of per fect happiness. Some would like to be wealthy, some learned, some famous: others think they would be perfectly happy if they were beautiful, talented or accomplished. A perfectly healthy iran living in a hovel with a dry crust nly for food, can he happy. A man living in a palace with all the delica cies of the season spread . in an appe tizing array before him, can be the most miserable of crea tures. Catarrh is the most prevalent disease in America. Are you suffering with catarrh? If you are, you are not happy, most assuredly. But there is no need for your remaining miserable. Pe-ru-na cures catarrh cures catarrh of the head, nose throat, lungs, bowels, kidneys, pelvic organs; in fact, Pe-ru-na cures catarrh wher ever located. If you want to read of some of its cures, address The Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing Company.
