notice that tho public mooting would Ikj
held in tho chapel of tho Methodist Female
College, 11$ o'clock. Accordingly, a large ,
crowd of gonticmon of Aehovillc and the
Counties of Buncombe and Henderson, and
c
other counties in the western part o* North j
Carolina, repaired to the chapel, where tho
public meeting was, on motion of Judge ^
Mrkbimaw, organised by calling Colonel ^
SnonSu to tho chair, and .the appointment
of Mr. Stuffs, Editor of tho Aslioville
,VciM, secretary. The meeting first attended
to those mstlors relating to tho roads
now in the course of construction leading ^
to Aelievillo. One of the difficulties encountered,
was tho location of the road
track, on tho French itroad River. On tho
east hank of the Hirer, la the Turnpike and ^
farms and sett emuuU. It is the hurt side
for tlio Unil-rond, whloh, if thus located
mrwt destroy Hie Turnpike Iload, aud dam
age the farms on tlint side the Itiver. A g

read, protesting ngninst. the location ; hot ,,

The meeting having ended tl>*? discussion I
of those matters exclusively concerning c
their North Carolina nonipanieu, in con
fortuity with an arrangement previously
agreed on, tha delegate* trom Greenville 11
and Bi>artanbui'g were olTered a homing
Gov. i'eukv announced that I he views of \
the delegates from Greenville would be ,
presented by Col G. F. Townks, who rose ,
and addressed the mnoting, giving a brief ,
history of tlie first olforta to eonneei.
Charleston and the West, the stopping of 1
tho road at Columbia, the subsequent build- '
ing of the Greenville and Coluinh'i Itnil- 1
road. Its pooulinr location, n sting |
Greenville with Columbia, whilst ?. alf?ra< (
ed a straight track in the direeLiou of Aiken
and Augusta, thus giving to Greenvillo the
proepact now about to be realized of a |
shorter and belter route to Charleston than |
by Columbia, and also a rail road connce- ,
tion nearly direct with Angusln, and, con- i
eequently, with all Southern Georgia, Florida
and the Southwest generally. Me
showed clearly that the location of the. 1
Greenville and Columbia Hail-road woa re 1
ally a most fortunate one; that it was, in '
fact, far better than if it hr.d been built
directly to and to Columbia; iu
that case, the fair town of Oroonville could
never have presented the overpowering attractions
for a rail-road connection to Asheville
and Western North Carolina, to East
Tennessee, Kentucky, and the city of C?n
cinnuti, that she now does, Ifc stated that
a charter was already granted the Greenville
and Columbia J'ond to extend a track
from Ninety Six to Aiken, and that now,
rinec the construction of the Cotuinbiu Railroad
woa certain, there was only the dis
Lanco of twenty?fivc miles hctwe,?n Ninety

mplatcd rxtMiiiivn of tlio line at Ninety

gions beyond, the Immense advantage of |
iat trade and unlimited travel which
onld bo attracted, and which was not afrded
by the Spartanburg route, or any
Jter cast of Greouvillo. lie stated that it
as these foreseen advantages, that, near
rcnty years -ago, had reconciled him to
te location of the Greenville and Columbia

iat the grsat results would be obtained at
me future lime, and, bat for th? War, they

lie mountain region of Greenville, Pickens
nd Wceiern North Carolina tlins made
aelly nco*tvdble to' nil 8outh Carolina, as
rell nn Southern Georgia, Florida and .the
mro distant South west; that not only
iimmer travelers but a permanent white
opulnlion would be gained to those fine
lountaiu regions, which possessed tba
lost delight ful olimato of any port of, the

icarty welcome, with which the delegates
rom South Carolina had been received in
teheville.
At the conclusion of Col. Tuwnb' address,
lov. Penny announced that Mr. Bobo, of
Spartanburg, would address tho mectiug in
>ehnlf of the Spartanburg and Union Itail oad,
and that lins of connection. Mr. Bono
took tho floor and delivered an able spocch
>n the great subject of a rail oonreciion of
Western North Carolina, and tho Wert
jsnornlly with South Carolina, making
nany happy remarks on the encouraging
noepect; and whilst he suggested that it
was too soon to determine absolutely the
oute from ArheviMc> he pointed out briefly
he advantages which he argued would
irise hy connecting at Spartanburg. But

i common track past the mountain gaps, to

C"?. I'Miiiv took the floor after Jir.

force argued the superiority of the Greenp
rill- route ov?r any other,reaffirming sonm
<f the argument* whieh the first pp nk?r
bom.QieenriUe had presented, and urging
itliers, to show that the route by Ninety

Cimrlreion, but Augusta nnd llse 8>teaiinah
Kiver with the mountain region of
forth Carolina end tiic Wist, presented
idvuntogee incalculable, and entirely conducive
in its favor. This brought up Mr_
iono a second time, who def-nd. d w'rli

vas again replied to by Gov. Pur.kr, and
he controversy between thesa two gentler

Again has the ruthless hand of Death Beloved

f their number.

n IhoSfith day of August, 1887.
Only a little more than nlno months ago.
ho left tho boiuo of hor childhood, fother and
lother, kindred any frionds, to aooompaay

to tho far distant Woe*. Bow vlridly
ow does tho parting scene, on that memo rale
morning, ootne up before us, as, clinging
a her aged father, the devoted daughter seemd
as If she eonld not go, and pot, as the distill
wife, felt that she must. Waoee the peneratlng
eye which could then foresee that we
rould ncvor look upon that lovoly form lu life

that ere a single yoar had* elapsed, be

-ihute to her mcmorv.
She is gone; bnt her Image can never be

hnractor ever oease to act upon theee with
liom sho was most intimately associated.
Endowed with fer more than ordinary gifts,
bo possessed a quick apprehension, a retentive
icmory, charming conversational powers, and
be most engaging igannor*.
Among the many virtues that adorned her
bavnetcr, filial love, perhaps, shone brightest
f them nil. While, as a friend, shs was ever
rtio, and, ns a slater, generous And toudor, It,
rns her gostest delight to reciprocate the entn
ud nIToction of her parents, with oorrMpendig
revoreoce, obedience, docility and gvatlado.
Dot to thoso noble qnnlitios of head
nd heart, crowning and beautifying them all,
res added tho quiet radicnoe of a deep and
H pervading piety.
In tho yoar 1898, sho connected herself with
lie baptist Church, and, to the day of her
oath, adorned the doctrine of flod by her
tous walk ami conversation. Stricken down
lion on the very eve of starting on a visit to
or native borne, to which she so ardently doired
to return, she was yet perfectly resigned
a tho will of her Heavenly Master, and foil
sleep, camly and sweetly, on hot Saviour's
oaom.
