On the 22d of September last, in putting on a neto dress, THE DAILY OBSERVER adopted the rule to exclude all double column advertisements and all cuts. After five months of experience, we have decided to cancel the rule. Double column advertisement neces sitate the cuttintj of column rules, and these trill be charged twenty-five er cent, more than our regular raU-K, and vM only be inserted on the. first and fourth pages of the IMtper. The recent cfexngnc Mmt rival and dejxirture of mails, make it necessary that t hr o'clock in the afternoon. UOTlfc PENC1LINKS. Mure municipal election talk yes terday. There were a dozen turn-outs on the race course at the fair grounds at one time yesterday afternoon. The wheels of local events turned so smoothly yesterday that the practiced reportorial eye could detect not a sin gle jar. The only event of interest in railroad circles is the meeting of the general ticket and passenger agents' convention which occurs in New York to-morrow. The Yorkville (S. C.) Enquirer tells a ltn story of how Smart, the brass tiling swindler, who is now in jail in this city for false pretences, victimized several citizens of York with his bogus "js'old-dust" and the like. Two convicts sentenced at the late term of Mecklenburg Inferior Court go to the penitentiary to-day. They are A. 1'. Munroe, a white tramp, for lar ceny, two years; McSmith Davis, col ored, for house breaking, seven years. .V square, stand-up. gamey fight be iwt pii two young white boys on Tryon street yesterday afternoon, attracted i lie attention of apparently half the town. The sympathies of the specta tors seemed to be rather with the boy with the bloody nose. Judge Kerr was thought to be some 1 letter yesterday, but is still confined to his bed. He is attended by several of his relatives, all ladies, and' does not seem to be in any immediate danger. He has every possible attention and oinf'ort at the Central Hotel, j Mayor Smith dined last Sunday the 'th, off of asparagus raised in his own garden. It had been covered with shavings used in packing. This will -serve as an important hint to ambitious gardeners. Asparagus is rarely ready to eat in this climate before the middle of April. The boys have begun to turn their feet out to graze, and how to walk without bearing the weight of the body on the stone-bruise on the heel, and how to sneak off to bed at night with out letting the old folks findout that the dust-covered pedals have not been w ashed, are questions of supreme im portance. Cotton and Fertilizer Dealers, in this city, report that the farmers of Mecklenburg, have never any previous spring bought as heavily of fertilizers as they are buying now. The supply can hardly be kept ,up to the demand. The sales this season will exceed those of last by 20 per cent It is believed, too, that the acreage put in cotton this year will exceed that of last at least 10 per cent. ' The Case of the Woman Slayer The case of Miss Amelia Xinkhaw, of Lumberton, Robeson county, who, a few months ago shot and killed in that town her alleged seducer, a young man named Hartman, will come up for trial next week in the Superior ' Court of ltobeson, and the Robesonian says ft is quite certain that there will' be no re moval, but that the case wjll.be pro ceeded with- The remarkably sensa tional character of the transaction made it the subiect of a -great deal of interest at the time, herp .and through out tne entire state. tn, For upwards of thirty years Mrs. Window's Sooth- liw. u.T..H v. . . .. i. . .j I .klMn Tf immuita n-iuiij ui iiie Hwmaca, reiicven vtuu wut, iwuuwi the bowels, cures dysentery and diarrhoea, whether arising from teething or other causes.

This was done by the elec-. tion of the following board of directors r Dr. A. M. Powell, Dr. Little, C. L. Sum mers, David Wallace, W. A. Eliasbn, JS. A. Sharpe, J. J.. Mott, Willferd Turner T. X. Cooper.' The directors, organized and elected the following officers; President, J. J. Mott; secretary and treasurer, C. A. Carlton ; chief engineer, W. A. Eliason. The charter, we believe, requires that that northern end of the road, that is, that portion beyond Statesvillehall be completed first ; at any rate it is only designed to build this portion of it at present The present intention of the company, is to run the road event ually to Salem, Va., and there form a connection to Harper's Ferrv, The distance from Statesville to Mt.Airy is about sixty miles and to Salem about one hundred and fifteen miles. The subscriptions amount to a considerable sum, although the five per cent requir ed to be paid in before the organization, had, at the time of the meeting, been paid only on $23,000.
