The New Liquor Officer.

The announcement that Deputy Sheriff Fitzpatrick had been appointed liquor officer by the eelectmea at their meeting on Friday evening occasioned no little eurpriee upon the street, as it was not generally known that he was a candi- date for the office. Indeed, it is asserted that he was not, but might be induced

ASHEVILLE, N. C., March 25, 1900. ] The beauty, the wit, the deep glance of the eye, the subtle and untranslat- able charm of a fsecinsting woman is felt long after we leave ber presence, She draws us by an irresistible spell back to the sound of ber voice, the

Bu, it is the morning drive, or walk, or electric car ride, far into the heart of the hills, that brings the flush of health to the cheek, the depth and color to the eye! It Is the exploration of the sublime beighte that turn from blue to rose at sunset or are eoftened by a silvery baze at mid day! It is the "loafing and in- viting the soul" In the shadow of huge trees or playing a keen game of golf in the open stretches that renews the fire of life witbiu and bids defiance to old Time!

The ecclety belle, dawdling wearily over hier lotions and cosmetice, spending hours in the bath and by every artificial method trying to recover that tone, freshuees aud youthfulnees of beauty which she has lost In city diseipatious, can find her physician here in the clear, crystal water and out-door medicants provided by a climate made equable by the happily cuucerted conditions of lati- tude, altitude, mountains shutting off storms and winds nud the suothing in- fluence of a sky scape as blue and smiling as heaven.

It Is not surprising that thousands of visitors from the south in summer timo seek this matchless region where the mountains are clothed In deep green for- est to their tops, to enjoy the bracing ut. mosphere; nor that thonsamle of North- erners escape the sudden changes and op- pressive rigor of winter snows aud bliz- zaids in pleasurable outdoor life from November to Muy, or becoming worship pers, remain, perclong their houses like birds' nests on the slopes at the Appa- lachian range.
