Sharmaa la FayattevilU The hietorie ski town of Fayette ville has one anniversary—March 11 —<which IU enterprising dally, Tha Observer, Is act In the habit of per mitting its people to forget. It wa* on March 11, 1SU5, that General Sherman put Fayetteville on the map and the seme time cam. mighty near putting It off the map. It was toward the vloeo of tb« great struggle when Sherman reached that town and hie army bad accumulated, during the course of Its march through the south *• vast following of bummers. It wus by the hands of these comp follow er* that much of the devastation for whkh Sherman was blamed was ac complished. The annual reminiecen eoe of the Fayetteville paper are al ways entertaining. This year it treats of tlio Sheimen event as the begin ning of the disruption of the Old South and breaking asunder of tbe s>td ties and old custom:. We know our readers will follow its narrative to development of h'atorical enter teimnent— With the coming of “the conquer ing hero", the negro slaves left their masters, some «e" them following the army, but the great majority settling around the town and In the adjoining country In the full enjoyment af their fully acquired freedom. Here and there were inetances of claves (gen erally aged men and women) who re in* In ed with “Mas., and Miae^" euntent to spend the balance of their nomet ana wua uic “whit* folk* of the big home " It It duo the negrOM to my that they behaved tplandldly daring the Civil War.
