and it will not be many days before we

The Everett Family have attracted
very large crowds in Augusta, where
they are giving their exhibitions of
.spiritualism. Tliey are to appear in
llie Charlotte opera house next Mon
day and Thuesday evenings.
Col. WortV.of , thft Secoud .Regiment

Haiti's Weekly, of Jftaleigji, in notic

hands of Mrs. Campbell's pupils, in
this city, we speak by t3 book in .say
ing that Fhe can and does teach cooking
to perfection." '. , -.
Improvements. '
The north end of Fifth street has and
is being improved more- rapidly than
any other street in the city. Six new
and substantial houses were counted on
bith sides irf thB distance ofVene block,
and the cotton factory will fill up the
m;xt. The telephone wires run on
poles down this street and these im
provements give it quite a healthy ap
pearance. The Air Line Wash-Outs.
The Air Line trains' are running
regularly, but the passengers are hav
ing a pretty rough time of it. Thewash
outs are between Toccoa and Mt Airy,
and a transfer h?.s to be made two or
three miles across the country in hacks.
A full force is at work on the track,
however, and'the distance is being rap
i'Ny diminished. " But from present in
dications it wjll btj.fojir or five dais jet
before trains' will rVn through.
Oleomargarine on the market.
"You may send me ten pounds more
of that good butter," said -a man with a
large family, to one of our grocery mer
chants, a few days ago, but. be careful
not to make a mistake and send any of
that oleomargarine." The merchant
smiled and informed" the family, man
that he had been using oleomargarine
tor two months. He was shocked at
'irst, but on reflection, decided to keep
on using it 1 ; j ?
Hard Committee's Meeting'.
The ward committees of the Relief
Association met yesterday in the rooms
of the Young Men's Christian Associa
tion. The principal -work of tbemeet
"ig was the auditing of accounts for
provisions. It was found that the re-l'lL-st
to the citizens to refer all appli

worked admirably, and it Is earnestly

The man Joe Heynolds, whom Rer
nue Officer Stockton shot near Lincoln
ton last Sunday evening, is still lying at
the point of death. Little hope is en
tertained'of his recovery. Stockton is
not lit' custody, but if the man; dies he
will probably be apprehended and tried,

Mr. Wm. 8. Dogan, of the Columbia

Mr. M. P. C. White hasreturned to

The boys can't stay away from Charlotte.
The Proposed Convention.
Col. Ham. Jones desires it to be known
that the county executive committee of
which lie is a member is not the proper
authority to call a convention of the
citizens of Charlotte, and even if it were
fie could not act on "Charlotte's
sug
gestions in yesterday's
Observer, it
uot being in the power of a single niem-
oer or tne committee to call a conven
tion. The members of the committee
resident in the city held a meeting yes
terday afternoon, and came to the c in
clusion indicated above.
-M I m l
marriage in Lincolnton.
Mr. Stephen Smith and bride, Miss
Mamie Phifer, arrived in the city yes
terday afternoon. They were married
at the residence of the bride's father,
Mr. John F. Phifer, of Lincolnton, yes
terday at 12 o'clock, by Rev. R. Z. John
ston, only the immediate family and a
few friends having been invited to wit
ness, the ceremony. The marriage was
an event in Lincolnton society, the
bride being one of the most accom
plished and popular young ladies in
that town. She also has many friends
and acquaintances in this city a num
ber of whom called at the Central' Ho
tel last evening to extend their con
gratulations. The young couple left
on the 12.30 train for the home of the
groom, in Livingston, Ala.
Petitions for Commutation.
George Galloway, colored, was con
victed at the late term of the Superior
Court of the crime of killing his wife's
child, and is to hang on the 7th of May
with Henry Home, colored, convicted
at the same term of burglary. It is un
derstood that a strong effort will be
made at an early day to induce the Gov
ernor to commute Galloway's sentence
to imprisonment for life, on the grour.d
of a doubt as to whether or not the
child was alive when born. It is said
that a petition has also been written
and sent out for Home's commutation,
but it is not at all likely that it will re
ceive the signature of a sufficiently re
spectable number of names to entitle
it to the consideration of the Governor,
as easy a matter as it is to induce peo
ple to sign a petition tor anything.
Stars in April.
Speaking of the stars in April the
Providence Journal says: "The inter
e..t ot the month concentrates on the
morning stars, for, after the 7th, Venus,
Jupiter, Mercury and Saturn are all
numbered on this list. Venus especial
lv will be the herald of the sun through
out the month : for, though in her dis
tant phase, she still reigns as the bright
est stars in the heavens. She will form
a lovely picture as a companion for the
siencier waning moon on tne morning
of the 7th, will divide her queenly favor
between Mercury and Jupiter on the
15th, and will appear above the horizon
line nearly at the same time with Saturn
and Mercury on the 30th. Jupiter and
Saturn will become studies of peculiar
interest from the present time till their
opposition with the sun next October.
when Jupiter, just after perihelion, will
don his brightest colors, and Saturn
will shine with clearer lustre than he
has done for many years."
Second Night of the Fair.
-The Hebrew festival was all the at
traction last night and a considerably
larger crowd attended than on the
night before. Everything went on
beautifully, as indeed it should when
conducted by the Hebrew ladies. The
supper served for a small price was
most palatable and not to stop at the
cigar stand wa3 simply impossible.
The nicest things in the world were dis
played for raffle. Jewel cases, silver
pitchers.and panel pictures tempted the
visitor to trust to a lucky chance, ine

lar officer of the military companies of

hour waxed late. The afghan to be
sriven to the most popular physician
was universally admired. The selling
of votes in these two contests was as
usual the liveliest business of the even-
ins, and to have such champions as
sounded their favorite officers and phy
sicians nraises would reconcile one to
the danger of derear.
The rair is concluded this evening
and the result of the voting will be an

Another Name Brought Forward.
To the Editor of The Observer:
In noticing the various suggestions
that have been put forward through our
daily press as to the nomination of a
ht and proper person to fill the office of
mayor at the coming municipal elec
tion, it has been a matter of surprise to
a great number ot citizens that the
name of Morthead should have escaped
public notice. Altbo not to the "man
ner born," still a long resident, whose
respected lather was Governor of the
State, whose business capacity i un im
peached, a man of large property, of
acknowledged integrity, and one whose
daily avocations would not interfere
with a strict attention to the welfare
and good government of our city.
With all due deference to those gen
tlemen who have already declared, and
Col. Frank Coxe, whose name has-been
mentioned, we would say in the words
ot the immortal Dickens "V hile we re
member that aiuggieton can ooast ot a
Dumpkins a id a Podder, have we not
aDuffey aid a Struggles." And we
think that Col. John L. Morehead has
sufficient claim upon this city to war
rant his name being placed in the fore
most row, and accordingly we beg to
suggest him as a most eligible candi
date.

The Shady Side.
To the Editor of The Observer.
"Junius," in his series of interesting
articles upon the "foreign born" ele
ment of Charlotte, fails to make men
tion of any of our colored men, who axe
identified with the interests ofthe city,
and who were born outside of its limits.
This is probably one of the "omis
sions" that he spoke of, if he may call
a failure by that name. The opinion
ot the intelligent colored men or, Char
lotte is that some of their representa
tives should be placed on the roll of
honor, even if it be the tall end of it,
w ith their white foreign born brethren,
therefore please allow a word trom an
humble subscriber, who, while the
question is before the people, desires to
call attention to the fact that we -have
maHy colored men among us Of -promi
nence, who are "foreign born.
First among the most prominent di
vines, we have Bishop Thomas Lomax,
of the A. M. E. Z. Church, a gentleman
widely known as a minister, and whose
lab ors extend throughout the North
west and Canada. . He is A native oJF
Favetteville.
Rev. J. A. Tyler, who has recently
come among us, is a native of Tennes
see. His congregation is the largest in
the State. He is also editor of The Star
oZion, the only organ of his Church in
the United States, and the hrst press
owned and entirely managed by color
ed men. His printer, Mr. William A.
Smith, a talented young man, is a na
tive of Favetteville.
The Revs. Z. Horton, L. B. Gibson
and Eagles are all from different por
tions of the country.
As to hotels lor colored people ,T. M.
Goode stands hrst and foremost as a
hotel manager, whose hotel is to the
colored people what Mr. iu:ciessisto
the white. Mr. Goode is a native of
Virginia.
Among the young men who are teach
ing the young idea how to shoot we
have Mr. S. A. Waugh, of Salem, and
Mr. John A. Rattley, of Franklin. Both
are talented young men and stand high
in the professions they nave cnosen.
Those who have been prominent in
local nublic affairs, we may mention J,
W.Gordon, of South Carolina, and J,
and A. B. Schenck. of Cleveland counfy.
Among the disciples of St. Crispin,
we have D. E. Davis, of Georgia, a yery
fine shoemaker; also G. William?, of
the miner counties.
Plasterers and brick masons we have
Foster Crane and Joseph Butler, neither
of whom we believe were born in the
city. ....
Our barbers and nair-aressers were
nearly all born outside of the city and
nossiblv the btate.
Tn our enumeration we must not
leave out Mr. Thomas Holly, a tine
house painter as all will testify. 1 homas
nrst saw tne iignu m uiaugo uuuuty.
AV must acknowledge we have no
representatives of the bar, medicine or
L - . - A L i- Unf
manufacturing interest, yet we icci iuu
while our white brethren have made
rapid strides in the advancement of the
material interest of Charlotte, we, in
some nn iefc manner helped to give the
imrwriis slip, has received.
In conclusion we wish to remark that
it is not our object to disparage any one
whether he be a citizen or not, nor do
wp wish to detract from any merit he
may possess. We state the facts, and
your colored readers must be the judges
- A.
whether we are canaio or not.
