Who is to be our next Repre-
sentative? is the question that
seems to agitate the public mind
of our county. Now lido not
think that personal favoritism
without legislative capacity
should actuate us in the choice OF a
Re- resentativt; of course we want
a man of unblemished character,
pure morals, solid integrity, and
a Sound post bellun democrat.
But to he our representative he
must reflect our views and opin-
ions, and labor to promote our in
terests when they do not confi I
with the interests Of some other
county or counties. The people
of this vicinity, land l am init
lnately associated with the masses
want a I. imposed on dogs OF not
less than $3.50 on the first and
FIVE OH every additional one.
The good that such a law will
do will be two fold first, it will
encourage sheep Gusbandry, which
ought to be one Of the most profit
able kinds for our State. Second.
ly, it will prove to the masses
that their interests are not being
overlooked, or neglected, which
will greatly strengthen their con.
fidence in the present administra
ton. We believe that a vast ma
| jority are in favor of school tax,
but they want it imposed by the
Legislature, SO that it will be uni.
form throughout the State, and
not subject to what this or that
county may say. 1t should be
sufficiently high to give all (whc
have no other opportunities tc
obtain one) good education. By
educating the populace you devel
op hidden treasures, that would
otherwise remain dormant, you
set in motion mighty lever in ia
vor of morality and Christianity
you make our State more attract
i've to the educated and refined
consequently greater number
Of emigrants Of this class would
settle with us.
Lagt but not least, the people
demand strenuous legislation on
the subject of the sale of intoxica.
ting liquors. Intemperance like
giant is stealing throughout the
leng: b and breadth of our fair land,
and with a high hand and unblush.
ing face, stealing the birthrights
of her citizens; stealing their mon.
ey, their character, their happiness,
their ali; and leaving them nothing
but want, ruin, and misery in
their stead.

enough to beard this monster? and
wrest his grasp from the throats
OF some of its victims. But have
said enough. PYLET.

Mr. Y. o. WALLACE desire to an
nounce through the OBSERVER, TO my old
friends, acquaiD tances and the public, that
after an absence of two years and more, L
have returned to Fayetteville to remain for
time, among those with whom have en-
loved such pleasant associations in other
days. Aud desiring that my stay may be-
mutually beneficial, as well as pleasant, and
having no knowledge of anything better cal
culated to make it so, than by supplying
the wants Of the people in any goods, hay-
ing more experience in that than any other
branch Of business, have brought with me
q splendid stock Of Dry Goods, recently pur-
chased by myself in the Eastern cities,
which, in consequence of not being able to
secure house on the Square, am now O.
pening, for the present, in the large brick
st6re-house of w. o. Price, on the street
leading out West from the Square, where !
will be pleased to meet with, and wait on all
who may favor me with their presence and
patronage. Ny stock embraces general
variety of Staple and Fancy Dry Goods,
Notions, Boots, Shoes, Hats, and ready-made
Clothing, all of which will be sold at the
very lowest figures for cash. The object
in selling this stock of Goods is not so much
to make money on them, as to convert thom
into ready cash, which is very much needed.
Hence, they will be sold at such prices, as
cannot fail to satisfy the closest buyers
They were bought right, and will be sold
cheap. The location may DO Objectionable.

Religious Slang.

Our Unitarian friends must be
spoken to. They are becoming
too liberal in the Use Of hard words
aud in calling bad names. 1t is
not becoming in that class OF
Christians who address the re
fiued and cultured only, and dc
not pretend to reach the low and
vulgar. But surely this, from
the Liberal Christian, speaking Of
a Boston Baptist minister, is moi
quite elegant:
"The impudence, vulgarity
slang, and free airing of falsehoods
and misrepresentation in which
he INDUCED, triumphantly vindi-
Gated the preachers reputation as
an Incorporate bigot and low-ived
chsrlstan. No clown in the ring
ever tried harder or succeeded
better in raising a laugh from his
audience, at the expense of de-
cency and good TASTE"
And even the polished Robert
C1lIyer Gays:
There are many rooms in the
