The Fayetteville Observer tells us that
Mrs. Margaret Fullerton, who resides
seven miles from that place. is So years of
age-was married in 1912. and began
housekeeping at the place where sl," now
~lives-never moved-lIas always enjoyed
good health until four years = when she
broke u limb, and although Ler home is
almost in sight OF town. yet more than
forty years have passed since she was in
Favcttc, ille.n The Observer goes on to
say that it doubts whether a parallel ex-
pericnre can be found in Lincoln county.
But, we want to say that within four or
five miles of Winchester is a fine old gen
tleman, with a family of boys and girls
who are. Industrious and honest, and
whose words would he taken BY any OF
our merchants AS pay for goods. Tie head
ofthis family is a gentleman who used to
travel from this town to New Orleans, up
on "A raft to sell his cotton. lie is one OF
the best men in Franklin county, so far as
honesty and nobleness are concerned.
Well, lie has not been to Winchester du-
ring the past fifteen years. He has never
voted during that period. And yet he is
an a~blc-bodicd man, Of fine sense, and
above reproach. He got mad in town one
day at an election. and said he would new
err more CONF to town or vote. Ard he
has been true to his word, so far.

In regard TO the death of our brother we

important-really necessary. Do not re-
gard the little expense. Employ some one
to get it up; and every member of the
Board should lave a copy Of the charter

WEDNESDAY MORNING, MARCH ith, 1874

LOOKING UP.-Thc town of Winchester
Is looking upwards. Real estate in the
town is worth to-day at least % per cent
more than.it was Il few weeks since. Do
you wish to know the reason? We have a
Board composed of the following men. to-
wit: j. L. Baugh, Jas Logan, t. j. Jack
son, Geo. Lefeber, j. n. McCutcheon, I.
z. Matthews, w. Ransom and M. NJ. Hen
derson. These men are interested in the
prosperity Of the town. They are bust
ness men. and men who are too honorable
to be doubted by a people by whom they
arc known. T. NJ. Pryor is Mayor, and
Clarence Horne is Constable. Now. we,
the tax payers, are satisfied to let these
men rule. If W. cannot have good man
agement under their rule, then we might
as well abolish the corporation entirely
and let the devil take the hindmost in the
protection of lite and property.
The tact Is, corporation matters have
been so loosely managed, and, ignored,
heretofore, that a number of influential
persons were becoming disguised and
even threatened to resist the payment OF
any more taxes. But. when they see that
the present Board mean busineSs;-when
they see that the present Board mean to
enforce. the lao, regardless OF persons or
threats, and that erery offender, be lie wlloDI
he may, is brought up" for trial when
they see that the taxes they pay are to be
judiciously expended tor the benefit of the
town in the ways of peace, order, good
streets, and general good, they willssot.
as raul would say, Kick against the
pricks."
We hope to be able, in our next issue, to
publish a copy Of the Ordinances OF our
town, and we hope to see proper respect
paid to them in Juturo. Nothing will con-
tribute more to the rapid and healthy
growth ofeur town than w~cll-regulated
and rigidly-enforccd laws for, its peace
and honor If we do not improve upon
the past, we cannot expect immigration.
Our town will become a wilderness. tit

farmers and country people generally are
interested. That which tends most to
populate towns and villages most con-

customers. and the more they have of
them to consume their products the more
they viii produce and the more will he

people Of Franklin county should be in

We are glad to see the efficiency Of our
Town Constable. 1t will be the means OF
restoring order to Winchester. We say to
him, Go on-the good citizens Of Winches-
ter will sustain you in all your efforts to
have the laws OF tho corporation enforced
irrespective of persons or any other ON
sideration. Many evil-disposed persons
think they can come to town and be as Of
fensive as they please. In this tliry must
learn their mistake. There is no reason
that the citizens Of n town shall be forced
to witness, in presence Of their families,
every sort Of rudcHess and inueuency.
Let these fellows take it to themselves,
and suppose that a rowdy should 90 to his
house in the country and "cut up" as they
co here-would he be williaw to tolerate
such misconduct in the presence of his
family? Then the principle has II double
application in u town where we have fe-
male schools, and the people ale tlIickly
settled. And il these considerations are
not enough to arrest the disposition Of bad
men to misbehave themselves in our town,
wecan only enforce the right we have Of
Self-protection. This is reasonable, and
therefore right. Hence we say that we
will enforce Il rights, aud we now have
an officer that can and will do this ming.
