Fayetteville observer. [volume] (Fayetteville, Tenn.) 1850-1966, 1853-05-26

The following, by our cotempora-
| ries of the Winchest Ter Independent
land Shelbyville Exposition, will show
how our beautiful village is viewed
lby non-residents. What they say is
literally correct. w have travelled
some in our day and time, and we
can truly say, Faye tevfile in point
Oh beauty and health fulness, and her
citizens in all those qualities that
ennoble PEG pie, are second to none
that we have ever sd en-
ODD-FELL lows CEI EBRArIoN AT FAY
ErrEvILLE. BY a special invitation,
and a strong desire ON our part to
see the town Of Fayetteville, a nd
some OF the good people who DIV ell
therein, we last week persuaded OUR
sell--notwith standiIg our stay-at-
home habits Ito pay a short visit to
that beautiful village Last Satur-
day being the anniye rsary Of the Or
der of Odd Fellows in Fayetteville,
| they determined to celebrate it in an
appropriate mannerIb by having pro-
cession and OrationL The neighbor-
ing Lodges were all invited to partici-
pate with them, and quite a number
of the brethren were in attendance
;. from the towns of Huntsville, Shell
ibyyille. Cornersvllle, Lewisburg,
4 Lynchburg, Petersbu rg and Winches-
ter. II G. Bradford, Esq, of Hunts
/ vile, delivered the Address, which
was, to our mind, the best vi Indication
of Odd Fellowship we ever listened
10. Mr.. B. is an O ator, of no COM
mon order, and may be set down as
lone of the ornaments of the Order
whose principles he SO eloque ntly
portrayed on that occasion. The
day was fine, and a very large num-
Der Of citizens wen out to witness
/ the proceedings, and hear the AID
dress
/ At night sple ndid supper was
given at the Mason lie Hall, to which
fall were invited. The supper was
fine, and the party was brilliant one
The young ladies', of whom a very
large number was present, look cd as
fresh and blooming as the NOR ming
rose. We have said that Winches,
4 ter could boast Of more pretty wo-
men than any other town in the
!. State. We still say it, but Fayette-
/ vile is next in the calendar. In
\ deed it has seldom, if ever, been oul
4 pleasure to witness a more brilliant
assembly Of young and Joyous lads
4 and lasses than We saw on that occa'
sion. i
| Fayetteville, up on TIKI whole, IL
decidedly pleasant place. 1t il not
only pretty place, but is filled pr
with the cley4rest kind of people. Il
A stranger there is made to fol at
home. We found it so; and SHOULD
another oppo rtunity offer, we shfIl
be pretty apt to 60 there again. :

Fayetteville is the ncatest ii land
town in the State. This town
wears an ain Of cheerfnlness an
surpassed by any in the State. The
storm, which com mittcd such ter.
IribIe h voc, was 10 so i'll, but Il lat il
bowed much good. The rum are
removed, and in place Of supeTa anu.
Iated enenlents, there has "a risen
spacious and princely dwellings Ii
seems compared with lis appear
ance Two years ago, as if a 4 orps
Iof fairies had raised with the wand
of enchantment, a new tow Oh
the site of the old OF the polite
mess and Ii pspitality Of the people,
we need not speak to those who
have had occasion TO make the
hiaI. To those who have not, we
would say, il yon would go from
home, and sill find yourself at
home, partAHing OF the comforts ~
plenitude which your own lirfslde
furnishes, go 10 Fayetteville and
you Will not be disappointed =
