Sir Thomas Craidof AberdbenHhiftt. TnS FISriEK KAMILT. The Hon. Charles Fisher- was a native of Rowan county, and was born Oct. 20th 1779. His father came to North Carolina before the Revolution, and was' an. officer ol militia during the war. The subject of this notice was educated by Rev. Dr. John Rob inson, of Poplar Ten, and by the Rev. Dr. Mc PI meters ot Raleigh. He studied law an obtained license to practice, but soon abandoned the bar for the more 6tirrim scenes ot oolitical Hie. lie enjoyed tne confidence of the people of Rowan countv as fnllv a anv man who ever lived in the county, and they delighted to lienor him with every othce tor winch he ever ake their suffrages. In 1819 he represented Row an in the State Senate, and in the same year was elected trom the Rowan District to Congress. After this term he again serve Rowan county in the State legislature, and was a member of the convention of 1833 called to amend the State Constitution. In 1839 he was a:rain elected to .Congress over Dr. Pleasant Henderson, though tlie , latter was a most popular man, and the champion of a. part v supposed to be in the majority Mr. Fisher wasouc of the most . active and energetic men in the State, an unyielding, advocate of State Rights against Federal encroachments and usurpations. j Near the close of life ho became a mem licr of the Evangelical Lutheran Church, and strove to discharge his duty to his Crea tor, as he had endeavored to do his duty to his country. " Alter a long, an honored, and a useful life, he died far awav from home, in Hills boro, ,Miss., on the 7th of May, 1849. No monuinent marks his grave. His ashes should rest here in one of the cemeteries, among the honored dead of Rowan. Mr. Fisher married Christina, daughter wf Lewis Beard, Esq , of Salisbury, by whom he had several children. One son died in infancy. His daughter Mary, married a Mr. Hill, and removing to Georgia died there a few years ago. Christina, another daughter still re sides in Salisbury. His ot her son, COL. CHARLES FREDERICK FIsnEP, was the nob'e son of a nwble sire. He was born iu Salisbury in 1810. His preparatory education as conducted in the classical schools of Salisbury, and from t'aem he was transferred to Yale College. Ho never stud ied any of the professions, but devoted his attention' to agriculture and mining, and fer several years was associated with Dr. Austin in the publication of the Western Carolinian. In 1814-5, he was a member of the State Legislature from Rowan county. He suc ceeded the Hon. John M. Morehead as Pres ident of .the North Carolina Rail Road in 1835, and continued to preside over the in terests of that great State enterprise, with eminent skill and ability till 1801. When the alarm of war rang throughout, the land, in 1831, Mr. Fisher went at once into the army, and was chosen colonel of the Gth Regiment of North Carolina troops. On the 2tst of July, in the midst of the Bat tle of Bull Run, Col. Fisher arrived with his Regiment on the field of battle. In order to accomplish tliis. Col: Fisher; whose ac quaintance with rail roading was perfect, took charge of the train that carried his Recr'mient. and it is said, run the engine him self, between Richmond and Manassas Junc tion, and thus arrived on the field many hours earlier than he would have otherwise done.- He led his men immediately into the light. About four o'clock in the evening there was a lull in the battle, and Col. Fish er proceeded a short distance from his Reg iment to reconnoitre-, when he was 6hot by one of the Brooklyn Zouaves. 4It is sad to, le compelled to add that he was like the Grecian Chief who was the first to land on the Trojan Coast, and the first to die." And it was a gloomy day in Salisbury, when the remains f her chivalrous wm were brought home, and sorrowfully laid in their resting place in the Salisbury Cemetery, Luthriu U raeviim j. 'Ool Fisher married Eli-deth Ruth Cald well, oldest paughter of Hon. David F. Caldwell, in July 1845, by whom he had sev eral children, who were left in orphangc to the care of his sister, Miss Christine Fi.-her. The names of these children are Frances, Anne, and Frederick. Miss Frane-s Fish er, under the runtime de plume of .Christian Reid has achieved an enviable reputation as a writer of elegant fiction. Her volume, entitled the "Lah;d of the Sky," possesses the merit of being' faithful delineation of the choicest scenery in Western North Car olina, elegantly and . attractively written. This charming book lias been the means of attracting nianv visitors to our beautiful mountains; and has rendered it quite fash ionable for tourists to visit this region, whrre the loftiest mountains , east o'.-the Mississippi stand gr uiped together in state ly grandeur. was a destinguished lawyer and Judge, who lived from 1538 to 1608, and through, his oldest son, Sir Lewis Craig; he ;Jeft descend ants, among whom are several jweil known names in the list of Scottish lawvers. It is impossible at this day, to connect the Row an family, with that of the Reformer, or Jurist, but these historical peonages, " Hy ing: three hundred vears nsro Hn YSeotland; "Showi.ijiat; tlie name comes down from oiden times. The Rowan family ..seem to have oeen aunerents ot the church of England, as is evinced both by family tradition, -and from existence of an old iJook of Coinui on Pray er Cambridge edition of 176(Jstill in the possession ot the family, with family records wu lis jjj ican.

Tlje title deeds taken out before the establishment of Row an county, are not registered litre; but were proouuiy registered at old Anson Court House, at Mount Pleasant. But as early as 175G we lind deeds from James Carter and Hugh Foster, Township -Trustees, to'Archi bald Craige, for lots in Salisbury. In 1758 there is a deed from Carter.; Foster to Mary Craige. In the riles of .Inventories in the Clerk's office, we learn that Archibald Craige died May 20th, 1T58. and that Marv Craige administered on his estate. In 17B4 there is the first mention of James Craige, as the purchaser of some lots tin Salisbury, and in 1779 there is the record of a grant from the State to James and lav id Craige tor 500 acres of land on the Shath side of the Yadkin River. Summing up their granta and purchases we lind that James and Davic Lraige were tne owners, jointly and several ly, of nearly 2000 acres of lana on the main VaJkin the South Fork of Yadkin, and Ab iMtjt's Creek. Putting these tuad.itions and re cords together, we conclude. that Archibald and Mary Craige were the i'yndcrif the Hawaii famiiy that when Archibald Craige died in 1758, his sons'.being : too voung his widow became administrator of the es tate, :nnd" -that the two sons, JamSes, the elder and Uavul tuo younger, w;ero -$rown men before the Revolutionary 'war,!., James was the purchaser of land in 1734, and must have been 21 years old at thiiiftinic. In a bundle of settlement papers- near the close of tbe Revolution we tiud the name of James Craige as Sheriff of Rowau coijutv. We do hot find that he ever married here. Perhaps he removed to some other parfof the coun try. - ' From the record in the old -Praver Book we learn that David Craige vsts. married to Polly Foster, July 23rd, 1770. nineteen days after Uie Declaration'?

In 1834," JlrrCra;ge was elected to the Erwin, d.inghtcf of Col. James Erwin, of Burke county, and great grand daughter ef Qeni JHattliew Locke, ol Kowan. j 1 he same year Mr. Craige, being in a feeble -state of health visited. Europe, and being much benefit ted returned heme and devotea him self to -the practice of his profession.' Dur ing these year lie gathered around him a hostof friends, and his practice in the Court of Rowan ' was extensive. lie ' possessed those qualities that eideared him to the cople-H plainness of speech, simplicity of manners, and familiarity in intercourse, without the semblance of condescension. He remembered the names and the faces of people,, and the humblest man 'whom Mr. Craige had ever known would approach him witJi perfect assurance of recognition! and cordial, greeting. I do not know that Mr. Craige was peculiarly successful as a farmer liniself, but he could talk of farming; and of all the interests of the farmer with far more intelligence, fluency and accuracy than the farmer could himself. - He was as per fectly at ease in the homes of the humblest, as he was polite and courteous in the parlors of the rich and fashionable. He was thus eminently qualified for a successful polij tician, and when in 1853 he received the nomination for Congress, he was elected, as he was also in 1859. '57 and '5U, and he was a member pf Congress when the late war be gan. When the Convention of North Caro- ina was called in 1801, to determine the course North Carolina should pursue Mr. Craige was sent therefrom Rowan county, and on the 20th of May he offered the Or dinance of Secession, which was adopted, and which placed the State of North Caro- ina along vvith her sister States of the South in the jgrcat 5 struggle against the Federal Government. By this Convention he; was chosen as-a member oftheConfederatcCon gress, along with V. N. II. Smith, Thomas iuffin, T. D. McDowell, A. W. Venable, J. M. Morehead; R. C. Puryear and A. T. Davidson. After this he retired to private ife, though watching with eager interest the miglity struggle in which his country was embarked. And when, at last the nag which bore the blazonry of the uStars and Bars" was furled, he declined to take anv u it her part in national affairs. He would not apply for the removal of his "disabili ties." He still practised his profession, studied the history, and recounted the deeds of former davs, and sought lepose from the strifes of public affairs in the bosom of his family.

Common Sciisc iu Advertising, A model advertisement is designed to satisfy the rational demand of a probable customer to known what you have got to sell. The successful advertiser, therefore observes three rules: First, he aims to furnish the information which the public wants; second, he aims to reach that part of the. public whose wauti he is prepared to satisfy ; and third, ho endeavors to make his information as easy of aequisi tion by the public as possible. The commonest and handiest thing iu the Americanjfamily is the newspaper, and as nearly all shoping proceeds from the family from its needs, its intelligence, its tastes, its fashions--it follows that the thoughtful and successful advertiser ap proaches the family by this menus; He does not waste his money and his time iu loading his advertising gun and shooting it off skyward in the streets, at all crea tion, oil tho chance that some willing cus tomer may be going that way, may be brought down ; on the contrary, he takes account of tho advertising ammunition which he has ou hand, aud loads and points his gun, through the columns of some suitable newspaper at the game he wants to hit. Resides knowing that newspapers ate tii c best means of advertising aud howjto pick out the best newspaper for his pur pose, the successful advertiser fully ap preciates the importance of persistent ad vertising. Mr. Hryaut used to say that the great iurlneuee of the press depeiids for oiic tliiug, upou its power of iteintiou. Presenting the same subject iu many forms it finally wins attention and acquisccuce. Used in this thorough and systematic way advertising columns of the newspaper are us useful and essential to the merchant, as means of telling the public what he has to sell, as the clerks behind the coun ter to show his goods when the people come to examine them.
