and can Satisfactorily Prove there Is no Instance
on record of a case of dyspepsia or torpid liver
that cannot be relieved and positively cured by the
systematic use of Simmons Liver Regulator. This
is no vain boast, but an established fact; and suf
ferers from these diseases deny themselves the
blessings of health and comfort by refusing to
give the Regulator a trial. It is no compound of
adventurers, but a meritorious medicine which
nas won its high reputation in countries where
torpid livers prevail and where nature supplies
the roots and herbs to cure the disease common
to Its climate.

ISfSeveral cases of minor impor

court yesterday morning. Monday
night a man was arrested for drunken
ness, and when he was taken to the
lock-up his dog followed, and both the
man and dog were imprisoned, as the
latter would not be separated from his

The ticket office of the Air Line
road was yesterday temporarily moved
into the "McSmith Music House, where
Mr. A. L. Smith issued about 150 tickets
to parties going to Atlanta. This party
was the largest that has yet gone from

manner in wljich Happy Mc and Lill
Smith managed the affair was most
satisfactory to the pilgrims.

The Louisville Courier-Journal of
the 10th has an extended notice of the
reception given by Miss Beckurts to
Mis3 Louise Morehead, of this city,
from which we take the following:
The reception tendered Miss More-
head, of Charlotte, N. C, at the Gait
House last night by Miss Beckurts, of
ihis city, was the event of the season so
far in Louisville, and never was a more
brilliant and fashionable crowd assem
bled together in the parlors of the Gait
House. Miss Beckurts acted as host
ess, and received the guests with a
grace and pleasantness that won the
hearts of all, and, together with her
guest, Miss Morehead, shared the at
tention of all present."
Complaint About the Weight of Cot
ton,
Complaints reach The Observer
that cotton weighed in Charlotte by the
city weigher falls short of its actual
weight. We should regret very much
to learn that such was the case, and at
present certainly do not believe any
thing of the kind. The cotton weigher
is a city officer who is paid a salary
without regard to the number of bales
handled, and he could have no object in
falsifying the weight of any bale, be
cause he could not profit by it except in
collusion with the cotton buyers, which
is not to be thought of for a moment.
However, our motto is to do justice to
all parties, and if anybody knows any
thing on this subject on either side, we
shall be glad to lay the matter before
the public.
Death of an Estimable L.adf.
News was received in this city yes
terday to the effect that Mrs. Jennie
Cobb, nee McBee, wife of B. C. Cobb,
Esq.. of Lincolnton, died in New York
City Monday morning, from the ef
fects of a surgical operation. Mrs.
Cobb had been in bad health for some
time and visited New York with the
hope of being relieved from her suffer,
ings. The deceased was about thirty
years of age, and was one of the most
popular ladies in her section, where the
sad intelligence of her death will be
heard with deepest sorrow by a large
circle of friends.
A number of citizens from Lincoln-

take charge of the remains of the de
ceased, which arrived on the train last

TOTE FEDERAL COURT.
Yeatexday'o Proceedings.
This court met yesterday morning at
11 o'clock, and the following gentlemen
were sworn as grand jurors: Levi
Black. L. D. Haynes, CP. Stowe, Nath
an McGinnis, J. B. Shelton," A. Stokes,
coL, R. Pickenpack, coL, B. Black, W.
B.Butledge,T. & White, B. F. Smith,
Calvin Rogers, E.H. Walker, R. W. Mc
Dowell, J. B. Robinson, Jas. D. White,
J. B. Swann, Jasper Robinson and D.
B. Best
His honor's charge to the grand jury
was brief and to .the point. In the
charge he gave them instructions as to
their duties under the law, and that
portion relating to the petty violations
of the internal revenue laws in which
there was no disposition to defraud the
government was especially commend
able, inasmuch as the jury was instruct
ed to use their discretion when such
cases were presented, and if the offense
was not in their opinion of such gravity
as to warrant an indictment, to return
the bills without action. The duties of
revenue officers and deputy marshals
were also dwelt upon at some length,
and their relations to the government
fully explained.
The following compose the petit jury :
Jas. F. Wilson, J. H. Walker, L. G.
Heilig, E. C. Davidson, Samuel A. Gar
rison, D. A. Caldwell, J. C. Hasty, S. J.
Wearn, W. F. Nisbet, F. A. Archibald,
Jeff Hagler, col., J. W. Widenhouse, H.
T. Rhyne, J. E. W. Austin, Jas. H. King,
W. A. Leper, Asa Bost, W. W. Duncan
and A. J. Hood.
The civil and criminal dockets were
called, but no criminal business was
transacted.
In the case of the Hollyoke Machine
company vs. J. H. Wilson, Jr., and oth
ers, judgment was taken for want of an
answer.
A final decree was filed in the case in
equity of W. S. Gregg vs. Z. Young and
others.
The counsel for Messrs. Clyde, Logan
and Buford, in the Western North
Carolina Railroad tax case, made a mo
tion for an injunction against the coun
ty commissioners of McDowell, Burke
and Buncombe, to prevent the collec
tion of taxes from the road. The coun
sel for the respondents were not ready
to enter into the hearing of the motion,
and it was postponed until the first
Monday in next February, when argu
ments in the case will be heard at
chambers in Greensboro. On motion
of complainants' counsel the order
granted by Judge Dick some time ago,
by which the collection of the taxes is
restrained, was continued in force until
the date of hearing the arguments on
the motion for an injunction. In
yesterday morning's Observer Col.
P. J. Sinclair was represented as
counsel for the commissioners of Bun
combe county, when it should have
been McDowell county. William H
Bailey, Esq., of this city has also been
associated with the counsel for the
county commissioners. No calen
dar of cases has yet been made, and it
is impossible to forecast the business of
the court. The dockets are not special-
y heavy, though several cases of inter
est appear on them, which will proba
bly be disposed of at this term.
Ignorance or Prejudice 7
A prominent agriculturist of the
county, and one who is identified with
the effort to bring about an improve
ment in the agricultural and stock in
terests of the State, has handed us a
clipping from the Cultivator and Coun
try Gentleman, which is suggestive, to
say the least, and is anything but credit
able to the manner in which our State
Agricultural fairs are managed. Here
is a case in which the gentlemen serv
ing as judges in a certain department
are convicted of ignorance that is in
excusable, and -which is will calculated
to work serious injury to one of the
first interests of the State, viz: The
improvement of our stock. It demon
strates very clearly that if the Agricul
tural Society would have its awards-
worth the paper on which they are
written, it is necessary that men must
be appointed who can appreciate the
difference between a "scrub," a "grade"
or a "thoroughbred. The action of the
judges in the case noted is about on a
par with the spirit which sometimes
awards a premium of greater intrinsic
value to a collection of fancy but
worthless hot house plants than the ex
hibitor of a selection of useful farm
products can secure on his exhibit,
We give below the extract in ques

Important movement. '
Last night the Hornets' Nest Rifle
men held a meeting at their armory for
the purpose of placing on foot a scheme
to raise funds with which to build an
armory for the company. Several of
our prominent citizens were present,
and after a statement by Capt. Young,
of the company, of the scheme pro
posed to be carried out, an interchange
of opinions on the subject was had.
Adjutant-General Jones was present,
and pledged his official co-operation and
support to the undertaking, as did also
the editor of The Observer, Colonel
William Johnston, Messrs. Schiff, Wads
worth and others. The result of the
meeting will be the appointment of a
committee to map out a definite pro
gramme, which will be laid before the
Chamber of Commerce, with a view of
securing the co-operation of the busi
ness men of the city. The proposition
is to hold a military fair at a time to be
decided upon, and have an encamp
ment of the State Guard ordered for
this place at the same time. The plan
is perfectly feasible, and one that no
doubt will enlist the support of the
whole community. We shall have more
to say in support of the measure when
the arrangements are completed, and it
can be presented definitely to the pub
lic. The invited guests were served with
champagne, and the meeting closed
with the success of the proposed enter
prise virtually assured.
A Run to be made to Pig-eon Rlrer In
January,
To the Editor of the Observer:
Asheville, N C.Dec 12. I have just
returned from a visit to my old friend,
Harvey M. Ramseur, for some time a
resident of your city, now engineer in
charge of construction on the Duck-
town division of the Western North
Carolina Railroad. I found him as I
expected, the busiest of the busy. He
was rejoicing over the completion of
the fifth crossing of Hominy Creek, and
the rapid work on the grading beyond,
was in nigh spirits over the prospects
of being able to run a train through to
Pigeon River early in January ; asked
me to come up ana see now ne was go
ing to celebrate his "wedding day," the
6th of January. He hopes to run a
train to Pigeon River on that day, and
I am satisfied that if it is in the power
of man to do so, he will find the way.
Mr. Ramseur has always had the repu
tation of being one of the most ener
getic members of the profession ; and
i.L -- t i i a i 2 tc m
taougu nave nearu mm cussea ior
working too hard, I certainly wish him
success in this undertaking. If the
work is not accomplished in tne time
specified, I'm sure 'twill not be for the
want of energy and pusn on nis part.
Col. Andrews and Mai. Wilson nave
certainly been lucky in getting the
right man in the right place ; I've seen
mm tried and Know him. i tninK you
can safely say to the public, that the
Western North Carolina Railroad, will
be completed to Pigeon River early in
January next. Yours, M.
