WILLIE A. BLACKWELL.

EDITOR OBSERVER---
A notice of the death of WILLIE BLACK
WELL has appeared in the Fayetteville
Newspapers, but do not feel that 1t need
be objectionable to ask space in your col
umns for few words from one who knows
him well. His uncle, Rev. ID. l.. Mitchell,
of Petersburg, where WILLIE died, has long
been a reader Of your excellent paper.
WILLIE was generous to fault, the soul
Of courtesy and hence was an ornament 10
society. Never was he guilty Of anighoble
at, and the writer himself knew him from
his infancy. He was upright and honora-
bic in lis dealings with men aRd the affairs
OF life. &
A few short weeks ego his young life, so
auspiciously begun, was full Of health, hope
and hppiness. Bat the Death Angel came
and summoned the brave spirit that ami
mated him 10 another world be feared not
to obey. He was my cherished friend;
loved him with the tenderness and devotion
we feel for a younger brother. If he had
faults knew them not.
Never more OH earth 20 be greeted with
bis sunny smile, TO me this is an inetfab bly,
sad reflection.
He was buried in the Church yard Of bis
native village, and many tear washed his
grave and many flower shall mark that
fresh mound Of earth Sleep vel, dear
boy but while the fire of life burns upon
the altar Of my bereaved heart your image

Last week in the death an

appeared a notice Of Miss Gale
donna Blankenship Of Renfrow
Station. She was Frustrated at
the time by sickness, but she
has, we are glad to be able to
state, sufficiently recovered to
be up. Nevertheless, her home
was still a house of mourning,
her sister, who was just budding
into womanhood, Miss Laura, was
called away. The decedent was
IA years and 6 months OLD.

Gard.

In the Express of the Goth ult.,
we find it stated in speaking of
the Mile Bonner case and the
objections Of Col. Trousdale in
the matter, that the objections
made against her as teacher in
our colored school were from
"spite" and emanated from a
clover class" with whom she re-
fused to associate. We are per-
fectly content to let the honest
and intelligent people of this
community decide who has the
best character; knowing, as we
do, that the refusal to associate
comes from our side of the house
and not hers. Her case under
went a thorough investigation,
and the proof Of her immoral and
lewd character was proved by
both white and colored witnesses
beyond any doubt; and so the
County Superintendent held.
We may be humble, but our
rights and the rights and moral
training Of our little children
are as dear to us as though we
were ssllighD and reyeled in the
decent chambers Of vice and dis
sipation.
Col. Trousdale did not pretend
to decide by his ruling in the
matter that Mile Bonner was
innocent Of the charges preferred
against her, but held that the
County Superintendent had no
jurisdiction over the question
raised. He has ordered or di-
rected the District Directors to
make immediate investigation of
the charges and to make report
thereof. By his ruling he held
that the Directors alone had the
jurisdictions to investigate such
charges when preferred against
teacher of public schools.

A Mulish Trick.

There lives one man in. this
county who doesn't need any one
to tell him of the fickleness of a
mules friendship. Last Satur-
day he thought he'd favor his
animal Of the long-eared variety,
and if possible strengthen the
blyte's attachment to him. He
stopped behind him and raised a
hand cautiously to brush a fly
off of his limb; the mule which
was apparently asleep had been
watching and on seeing his time
had come he let fly with his
heels, and we hundred gods of
Pluto! how quickly that man
did get from behind that mule,
and he stood not on the order of
going. Result: netherlip split
open and several per cent. larger
than it should be, ruffied tenn
per, and one mans faith in
mules destroyed. As he sat on
beer key with his lip in his
arms, he was heard to mutter;
II wish at AIMED mule as in
'elli'' The moral is Obvious
don't keep a lower lip.

Sugar Cane.

Mr.. Isaac S. Porter has left at
this office a stalk that measured
thirteen feet in length and weigh
ed four pounds. Mr.. Porter said
that he counted a few days ago
tiftyYthree, hawks in one covey.
Major Wm.H. Moorcs brought
a stalk of "What is it?' around.
1t is about twenty feet in length
and bears a striking resemblance
to both sugar. cane and broom
corn. Some of our granger
friends who have seen it pro-
nounee it the first named and
others call it the last, while it is
thought by some to be hybrid,
a cross between the two. "When

Teachers Tngtiitute.


FATETTEYILLE FEMALE "a
oADEAY, Oct. 4th, 18z9-Teach
ers' Institute met according t
adjournment, Supt. Rives in tn,
chair. The Secretary being alb.
sent, r. S. Bradshaw was ap-
pointed Secretary pro tenn. The
following exercises were had Mr.
o. S. Stewart discussed in a very
satisfactory manner the subject
Grammatical Analysis and Di-
agraming." After rather an an
mated discussion the Institute
took recess until one o'clock.
On reassembling Mr.. Green
of Camargo entertained the In
stitute for thirty minutes with a
class he brought with him for
the purpose of showing his meth
cd of teaching beginners. He
showed by this exercise that he
possessed in high degree many
of the characteristics necessary
to the primary teacher. Miss
Susie Hall took the same class
and showed by the manner which
she taught that she was emf
nently successful as a primary
teacher. Her plan of teaching
letters, words, and sounds was
heartily approved by the mem
bers of the Institute.
Mr.. j. A. Holland, the next
on the programme, was absent.
Miss Lizzie March, in a talk of
some FIVE minutes, gave a very
satisfactory excuse for not being
prepared ON the subject '.How to
Teach the Geography of Ten
nessee." Then the little girls
of Mr.. Green's class were called
upon for recitations, which they
delivered i'll pleasant manner.
On opening the "Query Box"
this question was found. 'EWhat
is the correct pronunciation of
the letter ga" when used as a
word, and also of the word
''t-h-e?" This created some dis
cussion, but we can't see why it
should, for Worcester, especially,
is very clear on this subject.
He says the first letter of the all
phabet is pronounced a when rs
ed as a letter but a when used as
word. Examples Of this are as
follows: above, around, across
&c. In the second word REFER
ed to in the question, the final
letter is marked thus e; showing
that 1t has the same sound that it
has in brier, fuel, celery, &c. Jun
less it has the sound of long,
or if it precedesa vowelit has the
sound Of l short. All that have
any doubt in reagard to the pro-
nunciation of these words are
referred to Webster and Worces-
ter.
The programme for the first
Saturday in November is as fol-
lows.
