Cold Water.


For the Fayetteville Observer.
CoLD MATER, Dec. Isl, 1877.
Cold Water Grange No. 307,
met in their hall according to
adjournment, and after the usu-
al preliminaries an election of
officers for the incoming year
was called up BY. the w NJ,
which pretty much occupied the
balance Of the day, and resulted
as follows: For w. NJ, D. i.
Stewart; r. Moore, w. o.; A.
P. Hayes, L.; w. M. Temple
ton, c.; A. b. Sheffield, S.; j.
NJ. Smith, Secretary; j. Good,
Treasurer; c. L. Coleman, A.
s.; ID. M. Sanders, G. K; Mrs.
Hattie Stewart, Ceres; Mrs.
Francis Coleman, p; Miss r.
M. Good, f; Miss S. e. Hays,
Il. A. S. After the election was
over, a committee of ladies was
appointed to set dinner. Each
lady had prepared a grange
cake for the occasion. In a
very short tine a table was.
prepared and covered with a
dinner good enough and plcnti-
full enough to satisfy all both in
quantity and quality. The p.
of H., of which there was al
fine turnout, enjoyed themselves
to the full. Such gatherings as
these cannot fail in bearing their
Legitimate fruit. The frequent
calls for information on the DIFF
ferent subjects Of interest to
the farmer, the responses which
are sure to follow in little short
speeches from the different
members, we think cannot fail
being both interesting and in
structiye to each and every
member of the Order. After a
recess of an hour or so the
house was called to order by the
w. NJ, business was resumed,
but it was getting rather late in
the day for anything of impor-
lance. Some of the members
live good way off. it was
thought best to close out, but
before closing a motion was
made by some one to celebrate
the anniversary of the organi-
cation of Cold Water Grange,
which was agreed to, the 9th
day of this month Oecember)I
being the day. We anticipate
a good time. We invite, through
the OBSERVER, the following
persons to be present, prepared
to deliver each a speech: Prof.
j. G. Hague, III. It. Chiles, T.
G.. Little and Col. G. Mcdaniel.
Now, gentlemen, without any
more invitation, come over to
our County Grange and spend
a day with us; we will enter
tain you theNbest we know how.
And you, Mr.. Editor. if you
can make it convenient, just
come along too and try the hos
pitality of old Cold Water and
get acquainted with her people.
But ] must close this article, as
is getting rather lengthy.

And nova new wonder has come
to light, or rather in light. Gen
Augustus Plcasanton has written a
book in which he portrays at length
the medical properties of blue glass,
and the effect it has in promoting
the growth of plants, and alleviating
nervous disorders in man. Excite
ment is running high in Now York,
and tile price of blue glass is en-
hancod fifty por cent.
In tho South, coloreI glass is not
needed to make the suns rays and
everything look blue. We have
lived in a cerulean atmosphere for
some time. This accounts for the
health of the country, if Gen. Pleas
anton is correct in his theory

Inc returning Board Rascals.
1t seems that the fate of the
nation is to depend upon the acts of
three returning boards, composed
of notorious corruptionists, and
notorious falsifers. No unpreiu
diced mind can fail to believe that
Tilden carried both Florida and
Louisiana. It was left for the
Electoral Commission to Judge
whether the returning boards had
properly or improperly rejected
Tildens votes. But the Commits
sion skulks, and the boards ore
supreme. They arc the Warwicks
who mako and unmake kings at
pleasure, who act solely according
to self interest and without shadow
OF responsibility who suddenly
appear upon the surface OF politics,
commit the fraudulent act, and stink
again into obscurity before the
outraged people, or offended Justice
can meto out to them the slightest
punishment. .....-
This is tho horrible machinery by
which tho Radical party is to be
perpetuated. Those are the men
who, year after year, are expected
to reverse tho verdict of the
people. These aro the men upon
whom the swiftest and most condign
punishment should fall. For these
aro tho mon who have brought upon
this country tho. feverish condition
of uncertainty and unrest, which
has, time and again, threatened to
drench the soil in blood, and has
well-nigh wrecked all the material
anterests of tho people. A fair
count in South Carolina, Louisiana
and Florida would have long since
brought peace. ....,

TIE REVENUE PERsEcUT1oN-Van
Buren Hendricks WIS killed on
Monday night last, fifteen miles
above Grocnville, S. G., on the Ashe-
vile road, whilst attempting to
arrest Hubbard Garmany, an escap>
ed convict from the Greenville jail,
for illicit distillery. A reward of
twenty dollars had been offered by
Sheriff Gilreath for Garmany's
arrest, and it was to secure this
paltry sum of money that Hen
bricks, who was not an officer of
justice, was working. When Hem
bricks shot at Garmany, which he
did twice, the latter had his child in
his arms. The people think tho
killing justitiable under the circum-
stances.
On the same day, Jackson Ward,
living in CLASSY Mountain Township,
whilst walking in the highway, with
one of his children iii his arms,
was shot at by n revenue officer
named Johnson, and the child killed.
Johnson IS now in Jail. Although
now a revonue officer, he was former
ly engaged in Illicit distilling.
