The Fayetteville Celebration.
"A centennial celebration IL in
contemplation to be held at
Fayetteville next November in
honor of the one hundreth ami
versary Of the ratification Of the
Federal Constitution by the
State Of North Carolina. This
important act was consumated
at Fayetteville in November,
1889, by a State Convention held
for that purpose. A similar
convention had assembled at
Hillsboro in July 1888, which
had refused to ratify the pro-
posed constitution by a very de-
cisive vote, 1S4 to 81. This large
majority against ratification
seems especially strange when
it is remembered that the lead
ing members of that convention
were strongly in favor of ratifi-
cation-such men "a Samuel
Johnston, James Iredell, VIM.
r, Davis, Rich'd Dobbs Spaisht
and others of the most eminent
statesmen Of the Revolutionary
era.
| We hope that the proposed
celebration will be held, and il
held we are assured, from the
we'll known public spirit aud
hospitality Of the good old town
of Fayetteville, that 1t will be
a grand success.-Pitisboro Re ..
