the dedication sermon from First Corinth-

Bht we preach1 Chrbf ucifled unto the
Jews a stumbling block and unto the Greeks
foolishness." The sermon wastf course
doctrinal, and we understand that it was a
very able one.
This church has a membership of about 25
Ipejsons, ,: When it is remembered that Mr.
BcJorie began his sniniatrytat that place only
last May,' it 'will' be seen that the work
which be has done is quite surprising.
Too MuehXand for Sale.
We regret to see a disposition on the part
of land owners, to sell their land and go into
some other business besides . farming. It is
an evidence that either the business don't
pay, or that there is something disagreeable
in it. We need brains and willing muscles
on the farm, and we know of no occupation
in which there will yield a larger income
than in the, business 0;f- well directed hus
bandry. Think about it, those who desire
to sell out their farms, and move to the
cities and towns.

the " Dear Miss " accompanying the love
sick swain, who thus publicly proclaims his
affections.
the letteh:
Charlotte, N. C, Oct. 20th, 1874.
My Dear Miss : Earnest hoping that you
will excuse such boldness in me writing a
letter to you, when we are only slightly ac
quainted, I will briefly state its object.
From the time we first met, my whole
thoughts and dreams have been only of thee,
the only one I ever have met who could
make the slighest impression on my heart.
Have I any cause in believing that my great
love for you Ts reciprocated. If it is not,
then I Am of ah in en,' the most miserable.
In great suspense, I await your only answer
to this. Youes Till Death.
Cotton.
Cotton has been coming in pretty freely
for the past few days, two hundred seventy
bales having been offered and sold in this
market yesterday.
Although somewhat later than usual, it is
thought by good judges that the aggregate
crop will exceed that of last year. In some
sections of the country, there will be a fall
mgoffin production, while in others the
crop per acre will be fully up to what it was
last year, but the acreage has been largely
increased, and it is now believed that the to
tal production will foot up more than last
year.
Charlotte has now a larger array of cotton
buyers than ever before, and they seemed de
termined to make ours the cotton mart of
this whole section of country. l arge orders
are held here constantly by commission men
who buy for spinners, and this gives our
market a considerable advantage.
It would seem at first thought that spin
ners had better take their, cliaaces on the
market than to order through commission
men, but after long and successful trial, they
can please themselves better by being on the
producing market, in the person of cash
buyer, where they can buy such grades of
cotton as they desire, without having to
pass through the hands of half a dozen middle-men.
The Meney Order BdsJaess.
The Charlotte Post Office was among the
first in the 8tate which was declared a mun"
ey order office. The following table shows
one week's business for the. following years :
1869 246.26
1870 303.02
1871 360.75
1872 81035
1873 1600.00
1874 1959.79
Had tho cotton, trade comrdenced earlier,
the weeks business would have almost
doubled the six days one year ago. There is
one fact which shows that Charlotte is be
coming a moneyed centre, is' that more than
double the money orders are paid than sold
It is about the only office in the State in
which a letter of credit is necessary from M.
O. office, at Washington.' Many persons
think that a registered letter is a more safe
way to transmit money than by money or
der, but it is not. In a registered letter, the
government only throws around it all safe
guards possible, in the way of receipt, &c,
but if the registered letter is lost, the gov
ernment is not responsible, but if the advice
of a money order is lost, a second adyice
can be obtained, and if the money order is
lost, by proper application, a second money
order can be obtained. The money order
system is a safe, cheap and expeditious
way of transmitting money ; and the time
will come, and that' soon, when a nrajority
of the business of the country in transfering
funds will be done through the money or
der system. ,
The New Postal Law and The Obser
ver. The Third Assistant Postmaster General is
making arrangements to meet the require
ments of the new postal law, in reference to
the prepayment of postage on all newspapers
at the office of mailing, which goes into
effect the first of next year. The stamps to
be furnished postmasters for this purpose
have been selected, and will soon be ordered
printed in large numjbera.-- Waildngton ;J)is-
Our readers are advised-, no doubut, that
the law above noted, requires that on and
after the fist day of January next, postage
on all newspapers must be paid nt the office
where they are mailed. The eff ot of this
law will be, first, to increase the postal reve
nues of thrf GoverSiroritand5 Wibndry, to
reduce the cost of newspaper postage to
the Bubscriher. . Una the law now n force,

the incoming laWfe' have decided to add
ten cents only io the 'price of our Weekly
edition and twenty cents to the Daily.
Therefore, on and after this date, for all sub

additional price will be charged , for each
subsciption, and those remitting, us but
$2.00 per single subscription to ;our. Weekly

"Silent lies the little sleeper,
With the lillies on her breast ;
Tender kiss, or burst of weeping,
May not stir her perfect rest.
Closed those sweet, blue eyes foreyer,
On this changeful scene below :
Never on that polished forehead,
Care shall trace one line of woe."
"To that Ark of Peace she fluttered
From the storm, and wind, and rain ;
Surely for her feet, the fowler
Now may spread his nets in vain."
