that recently she was offered for her farm
refused the offer, and says that in five years
more she will retire to the East and live on
the interest Of her property.

HOW TO KISS.
TO MISS ROSE MI.

ROSE Nh.
To kiss q lady TO ner appreciation,
Requires some tas te and not little skill;
man must show some life and animation,
To raise in her the necessary thrill;
Then she'll respond unto the tender greeting.
And you enhale the fragrance of her breath,
Her lips with yours in closest rapture meeting,
Producing temporary, languid DEATH
In which you sink without senGe Of pain,
Until her kisses bring you hack again.
We think the most approved and graceful fashion,
When you = pretty woman's lips would taste,
Is not to tell the story of your passion,
Until your arms are fairly round her waist
Seek then the bud mouth, and to it pressing,
-FOUR lips quite gently, let them linger there,
The laaies love elaborate earessing,
No matter what they afterward decl lare;
kiss protracted to length Of time,
IL doubly exquisite, and most sublime.
The action is suggestive, in a measure.
The damsel closes her sweet. tender eyes,
Shrugs her white shoulders in excess Of pleasure
And then gives vent to scores Of melting sighs;
She sinks into delicious stupefactiOn,
Wondering what ails her-well we know forsooth
She finds an irresistible attraction
In this communion with . handsome youth,
Who by his actions and his conversation
Leads her to glory-in anticipation.
In this amusement, shun precipitation;
good, true woman, virtuously embraced,
Should never have the slightest hesitation
In softly murmuring, Don't be in haste
Oh there 10 rapture in such harmless kisses
Akin to joys in Paradise shove.
He who ignores their transport surely misses
The cream and essence Of ecstatic love;
For love, without . kiss, is but . name,
Devoid Of interest aud very tame.
We hate to see girl too free in '.b ling
1t makes our very indignation rise;
A maiden who is forward and too willing
Lessons our value of the luscious prize.
She sells herself too cheaply; invitation
Comes not from lips Of any damsel coy;
We lo9k for modesty and hesitation.
Which gives . sest unto . chasten'd joy.
maid too lavish " tn her beauteous charms
Soon drives a lover from her eager arms

FAYETTEVILLE, July 4th, 1871
t. G. Smith, Sec of Board of Trustees. -.
SIR-Your note of the 22nd
of June, in behalf Of the Board
of Trustees of Sulphur Spring
Academy, asking a copy of the
speech for publication delivered
by me before your school, did
not reach me in time for a reply
through last weeks papers.
Since then, preparations for
and duties in the Circuit Court
have occupied my whole time.
The address was not prepared
for publication and was not
written out in full. These cir
cumstances, and my own lack
of confidence in the merits of
the address, and the fact that
your good opinion of it may
have been formed from the man
ner of delivery, and the inter
est taken by you in the subject
of general education, must be
my excuse for a failure to furn-
ish copy for publication.
Very respectfully,
j. d. TILLMAN.

A Few words to the Ladies.

Manyladies, particularly mothers nursing,
complain of tired, istless feeling, or COM
plete exhaustion, on arising in the morning.
On the wife and mother odevolyes the re-
sponsibility of regulating the duties of the
household. Her cares are numerous, and
the mental as well as the physical powers
are frequently. called into requisition She
often finds her slightest occupation weary
tisk and existence burden, while at the
same time. shehas no regular disease. Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, if resorted to at
this period, will prove an unfailing remedy
for this annoying lassitude. The effects of
this potent agent are soon seen in the rosy
cheek and elastic step of the head of the
family, as with restored health and renewed
spirits She takes her accustomed place in
the family circle. If this friend in need be
used, those depressing symptoms
will never be complained of, and not only
would lasstude not be experienced, but
many diseases following its advent be avoid
ed As a medical agent it has no equal,
while its pleasing flavor and healthful eff
fects have made it general favorite. 1t is
free from all properties calculated to impair
the system and its operations are at once
mild, soothing and efficient. All who have
used the Bitters attest its virtues and COM
mend it to use.

DEAR WALLACE-On the night
Of the 18th INST, party of men
calling themselves Kuklux went
to the house of one of our worthy
citizens, Mr.. Ance Stoval, on the
Huntsville and Winchester road,
near the county line, and whipped
a Mr.. Dotson, a Woodworking
man. After whipping him they
robbed him of his money, about
$50, all he had. Are these men
trying to get the government to
send troops down here? / ask,
are they true citizens2 Echo says
no-they are a band of robbers,
worse than the arch friends of
the lower world, for they don't
rob us. Surely justice will over
take such vile dastards. May
our laws be enforced, and all such
men pull a rope, for that is what
they want. Let justice come.

Fayetteville Aroused !
Attempted Burglary

!
On last Saturday morning. be.
tween l23 and 2 o'clock, an at.
tempt was made to burglarise the
residence Of Mr.. John Y. Gill
Mr.. Geo. Gill, who boards and
lodges there, noticed on going tc
bed rather late, that a man was
standing IN the street, apparently
looking intently through the lat.
tice into the room. Mr.. G. gave
the matter no particular thought,
and retired. In about an hour, as
was supposed, he was awakened
by the falling Of aplank, and on
going out to see what was the
cause, noticed man at q neigh.
boris house, raising q rear window.
Mr.. G.. reentered Immediately bis
own door, in quest of a shotgun,
and in passing accidentally looked
behind the front door and saw a
man standing there. They crap
| pied, and in the Struggle Mr.. G.
was slightly wounded with a
knife, and fell out backward, his
head striking the pavement and
stunning him. This gave the bur-
glar an opportunity to escape,
which he did by leaping the fence
and giving "leg bail" By this
time MIR. John Y. Gill was ava.
kened, and hurried to the scene
of conflict, but the robber had
fed. tits uncertain whether the
burglar was a white man or q be-
gro; if the latter, he was a mutat-
to. Mr.. ellis pants, containing
ten dollars in cash, and two gold
watches, were found in the garden
in the morning. That the man
who was seen in the street was
really watching the house seems
evident from the fact that one of
the watches was placed on the
mantel and the other in a hat un-
der the bed. He would hardly
have found them SO readily if he
had not seen where they were
placed. No arrests have been
made.
This is the first attempt at out
right robberyin Fayetteville since
Col. Jacques yankees sack ed the
town. Another attempt will
hardly be made again soon. The
town is now on war footing; PTS
tolls and guns have been fired off
and reloaded, and any movement
of a similar kind would becertain
to result in an introduction of
lead Into the offender sanatomy.

A Rare Chance.

One of the most important
movements yet sought to be in.
augurated in our midst was the
one spoken of some time since
for the establishment of a large
mandatory near the depot in
this place, for the building of
wagons,i farming implements,
flooring which should be planned,
grooved and tongued, and other
kindred articles that are need
ed in every community. Thou
sandssof dollars are sent from
Tennessee everysyear to Indi-
ana, Michigan, Wisconsin and
Iowa for wagons alone, every
one of which &1iould be made
here, and the money kept at
home, if we would exercise the
necessary energy to start such
an establishment, and then be
liberal enough to advance the
money necessary to sustain
it until it became self-suppor-
ting. Weslook upon the pro-
ject to establish a large home
manufacturing establishment
like this as one of the most i'm
purtant that could arrest the
, attention of the people, and we
hope to soon see it carried into
successful operation. We know
Of no enterprise that would be
likely to yield a more certain or
liberal return. If undertaken,
as we hope it viii be, it is bound
TO succeed. Capitalists might
venture insueh an undertaking
with an almost absolute GER
tainty of a safe and profitable
investment. The convenience
of having such an establish
ment in ones own county, the
reduced prices at which ma
chine work can be furnished
as compared with hand labor,
the ease in the local money
market which will be induced
by the orders from other coun-
ties for our productions, and the
general thrift and enterprise
that always has, and will, be
found in the train OF such
manufactures, would seem to
be sufficient to satisfy even the
most timid Of the unexcelled OPP
portunity for money-making
that presents itself in such
an establishment.

Sunday School Pic Mic.
For the FafettsaiIls Observer. :.

For the Fayetteville Observers.
The members of the Methodist,
Presbyterian and Cumberland
Presbyterian Sunday Schools met
pursuant to previous arrangement,
at the Presbyterian Church,
Wednesday morning, June 2Sth,
and marched to the beautiful front
yard of Mr.. Chas. t. Bright, on
the Shelbyville Pike to have q
Union Sunday School Pic Mic.
-Four ladies, viz. Misses Henriet-
ia kirkpatrick, Eugenia Wright,
Ida Hatcher and Kate Mckinney
were elected to carry the beautiful
banner-L. B, Wiley as assistant.
What a lucky boy to accompany
those lovely girls!
The banner was white and Dor.
dered with blue silk fringe, the
field was twenty by thirty-six
inches, and on one side the name.
Fayetteville Union Sunday
School" with the motto ''Gloria in
Excelsis, on the other side, 'sFay-
etteville Union Sunday School,"
with a continuation of motto, GEsto
perpetual" These were encircled
with blue fringe which formed a
beautiful bib. Attached to the.
field were three pendants repre-
senting the three Sunday Schools,
on both sides of which were the,
names NJ. E. S. School, P. S, School,
and c. p S. School. These were
also bordered with blue fringe.
Altogether it was a beautiful ban
.ner. 1t was gotten up by Jno. Y.
Gill, Sup't. Of NJ. E. Sunday
School, and C. r Anglin, member.
of Presbyterian S. School, and
was made by L. B., Wiley, and
printed by N. 0. Wallace.
After an arrival on the grounds,
amusements nataral on such. oc-
casions commenced, such as mum
BILE peg, grace, chess, croquet,
beans and peas, &c. The latter
was really amusing, with the lit
tie girls and boys, as occaionallyI
some one of them would muster
courage to kiss the other as a PEN
atty for his success. ssloaH!5
About II o'clock dinner was
spread on the ground In front of
MIR. Bright's house, and all were
filled with luxuries seldom excelled
on such occasions, which estab-
lished the fact that ours was real
''Pic Mic" These, with pure wa
ter, two soda founts, and gentle
breezes, together with the. genial
crowd, mirth crowned all with sue
cess, and the gay party were again
soon engaged in the different plays.
1t was really amusing to see them
humble the peg as they were
weighed and found wanting.
We all returned to Fayetteville
in the evening better pleased than
before we started, all sorry the
day was not longer. If we live
we will repeat this celebration. |
We think it is good plan to have
our Sunday Schools united on such .
occasions. .--.....s fsesssJ s.
