It is not to be confounded with the French Broad, which originates among the hills of Transylvania, runs northward past Asheville, and finds its way to the Tennessee through the Warm Springs Gap in the Bald Mountains.

The Catawba grape, now so popular and well-known throughout the country, was then a comparative stranger to our people, and was regarded even by many who were acquainted with it as unfit for vintage purposes.

"You don't happen to know anything about that country down there, do you?" "Why, yes. I know a great deal about it " "Sure enough?" "I've been through Asheville many times and spent a summer there once." "Did you?" His tones implied that he plainly regarded her as a prodigy of knowledge.
