The Observer might be better employed than join

of Long Creek, Caintuck, and Holly Shelter, we
do those of other portions of the county, and we
know them to be long way ahead of the majority
of those who 60 TO make up the fashionable watering
place coteries and while bow to the greater &C
quaint with these last possessed by the editor of
the Observer, still retain own impression in
regard to the great majority of those who give the
fashionable tone TO such rlaces-those who outStrfp

Southern man, woman, child does right in spend

only our own notion, en- passant for we are neither
preaching nor moralizng. People will be apt to
please themselves, we take it.

The Napoleonc name, then prescribed and trampled
