Far be FsyettsyIIIs Observe.

For the Fayetteyils Observer.
We are running about level.
Business of all kinds, is tolera-
bly, brisk. And sure nearly:ey-s
cry kind of business is repre-
scented here. We have farm
lers, merchants, mechanics, doc
TORS, school teachers, preachers,
artists and Of late a whisky
dealer. 1t is properto say that
our town could well afford to do
without the latter. All these
and more too, are to be found
here, and YET Blanche is not
larger than New York city.
The people are generally pro-
gressiye in morals and religion.
To say that every person was
correct in life and practice,
would take from the good and
add to the bad. Virtue is en-
gagged in 4 lifelong struggle a.
gainst wee. Drift-wood is found
on every shore.
The Fayetteville District
Conference is TO convene here
March 18th. Already thought
/ is bestowed upon what shall we
eat, and wherewiihal shall we
be clothed. A bishop is to be
in attendance, and unless we
receive further instruction, some
of our people will be disap-
pointed to see him looking like
our folks. Come down, Mr..
Editor, and be with lis on that
occasion. We would feed you
like a preacher. Not insinnat-
ing that you are partial to fried
chicken, but we mean in the
same hospitable way.
Although we claim TO be pat
rons of high and honorable
things, yet strange things take
place among us. 1t is a thing
of the past to marry at home.
When we see an unmarried lady
or gentleman in travelling cos
tune, is thought they are going
off to get partner. T'hisidea of
marrying strangers may be en-
tertained because Of the instruc-
ton, diyinely given, concerning
strangers. If the new depart
ure works well, the parties in
yolved are the beneficiaries, and
we are sure none other is the
| loser. And for the comfort OF
any strange lady, who may an
ticipate a visit to our town, we
would notify such if not mar
Tried, but wishes a husband,
there is clever young man
waiting her arrival. When we
say clever, we mean they do not
stalk into the presence of ladies
with their hats on their heads
their pants in their boots-their
hair parted in the middle, nor
do they walk or ride the streets
looking at their shadow. Since
it has been reported that young
man came to his death once up
on a time, from looking at his
shadow, the most of our young
men and boys are afraid to In
dulge in the contemplate prac-
, tice. Like a persistent sinner
however, people will forget
what has happened unto others
and we may yet be mourners at
the funeral of some one who
killed himself in the same way
We are looking for the candi,
, dates for the different county
, offices to come among us. i
! has been a long time since We
we're set on high by others
Women are not inscnsible Il
. praise, and the children delight
to hear they arc beautiful.
Finally, ne have nothing t
f. say of Capt. Tolley, and bis pol
, icy for settling the State debt
Something akin to what he now
+. advocates, elected him to The
: Legislature. A majority vote
Of course put him in Office, anC
since it is a principle in Ameri'
can government TO allow a ma
iority to have the preference
] why spill 81. N. X" over tht

peoples choice, and whose pol
