We celebrate the beginning

it to our readers in new dress.
Notice it-isn't it beautiful:
We present it not in spirit of
boastfulness, but rather as a
thankful acknowledgment of the
very generous patronage the pa
per receives from the people of
Lincoln county, and as an ear
nest also that it will always keep
pace in improvement and enter
prise with the liberal support ex-
tended to it. In other words, 10

OBSERVER continually worthy
the reputation it has so long and
so universally enjoyed-that of
being the most widely read news
paper and the best advertising
medium ever in Lincoln county.

A Christians Death.

Mrs. Eliza I'll. Boyles, relict
of Charles Boyles, dec, died in
this place on Tuesday last, aged
So years.
For many years she was a
member of the Presbyterian
Church, and her church was
next to her home in her affec-
ton. Quiet, patient, gentle,
constant, carrying in her face
an expression of perfect trust,
peace, and contentment, watch
full of household cares, her
heart in heaven, she shed upon
all about her the influence and
charm of sweet and holy life.
She lived by faith, and in her
death entered, we doubt not,
where faith is lost in everlasting
sight.

Our Twenty-Ninth Year

~4A "034SS &SA4eA O>A
The 10Th instant was the an
niversary of the establishment of
the FAYETTEVILLE OBSERVER,
and with this number the paper
begins the twenty-ninth year of
its existence. During that long
number of years we have faith
fully kept every pledge made to
the public, and to that fact may
be attributed, in some degree,
the marked success that has
crowned our efforts. To our
many friends who have stood by
us through these years of honest
endeavor, as well as to the many
new ones that have Of late been
added to our list, we offer our
sincere Acknowledgements for
their kind aid, and promise them
that our efforts shall be to con-
tinue to render the OBSERVER
worthy of their support. And
we take pleasure in assuring
them that the paper never rested
on a firmer foundation than at
prescnt-its prosperity was never
more evident, its future never
safer.
In a newspaper, Of course, ev-
cry individual wants the best.
A comparison of the OBSERVER
with other country newspapers
will establish its value. In the
various features that combine to
make the prosperous and satisfy
ing modern newspaper, 1T IS un-
surpassed. 1t is a family jour-
nal in the broadcast and best sense.
Its aim is net only to entertain but
to improve and instruct its read
ers. Our object is to furnish an
admirable general newspaper for
the family, farmer and business
man generally. Another special
attraction is our large, clear type,
so different from most papers Ct
it's class, which can be read
without injuriously affecting the
eyes.
In conclusion, We ask for moth
ing more than that the same gen.
erous appreciative public will
continue the support it has here
tofore and is now according
the OBSERVER.

@ We publish a very inter-
esting letter from a young friend
in Tyler, Texas. Lack of space
compels us to shorten it. The
writer was present at a railroad
disaster to which he refers:

were six passenger Goa hes
thrown from the track; three of
which were turned completely O.

was awakened by a terrible
crash and at the same time was
literally buried beneath mattress
es, blankets, seats, and other pas
sengers. Fortunately some of the
seats had fallen in such q manner
as to leave a small opening
through which ! managed to work
my way with little difficulty, and
was soon on my feet, but the
danger was not yet over for the
car had fallen in such a way that
neither door could be opened and
there was large fire in the stove.
1t was awful! some were scream
ing with fear and panic, some
were calling their lost children
and others were hallooing about
the fire. AS soon as / could col
lect my senses / made for one
of the windows, which was at
the top side of the car; / raised
it as quickly as / could and soon
found myself out ON top. 1t was
a fearful sight; by the light of
the dim moon which was Just
sinking to rest, | could see the
other two cars lying on their
sides; the passengers were crawl
ing out the windows with their
heads, faces and hands streaming
with blood, some were being
dragged out apparently lifeless.
Soon fires were kindled a distance
of three hundred yards up the
track and around them lay the
wounded, like the day after a
battle. There were none killed
but many were seriously injured
and it is thought they will not
recover. One man was frighten-
ed out Of his wits and was wild
all the next day. The accident
occurred about one o'clock in
the morning, and we had to sit
out in the cold until ten o'clock
when the relief train came to the
rescue. The wounded were laid
on pallets in box cars and we
were soon on our way to Little
Rock"

@ According to Ben. But
ler's story, the Christian States
men of Massachusetts, are as ex-
pert in bull-dozing as the "rebels
of the South" A Washington
telegram says:
"a rumor has already reached
here that General Butler intends
to deliver great speech on bull
DOING during the coming ses-
sion. The feature of it will be a
comparative view of 'bull-do-
ling North and South, which he
embellishes with copious illustra-
tons of actual 'bull-dozing' which
he claims was practiced in Mas
sachusetts during the recent cam
paign, asserted over and over
again that laborers, especially
mill operatives with families to
support, were 'bull-dozed' by their
employers into voting the Repub-
lican ticket, under penalty of
being discharged if they did not.
He thinks this is little meaner
than the shot gun method, and
will doubtless say so in Congress,
as he did on the stump. Mean
while he is quietly collecting evil
dence and affidavits in Massachu-
sets to prove the truth of his as
sertion."
It would seem, according to
this telegram, that the offspring
of Massachusetts Emigrant Aid
Society, all of course highly ed
ucated, and principally white, are
as easily 'bull-dozcd' as the ne
gro ex-slaves of the South. This
Interpretation of facts may be a
little rough on the negro, but we
presume the white fellow can
stand tiff the darkey can.
