Our merchants carry the best line of goods and we have the most polite clerks to be foun J anywhere. y Jno Whitfield appeared before Chief of police Flowers last nit ht about 11 o'clock and said he wanted to give himself up as he had shot a man. He said he was enter ing his front door when some one threw a brick into the house and that he grabbed his shot gun and fired in the direction of of the retreating footsteps. The man hol lered and fell. , I Capt. Flowers accompanied Whitfield back but could find no trace of the man although some one had evidently been there. I Man is certainly a very weak creature after all you can do and say in his favor, as many who have witnessed the powerful influence of the coarse and loud but ready eloquence of the medicine Fakir can testify. I saw slightly intelligent persons yesterday lost in admiratioii at the comical gyrations Df a loudly dressed fellow whose motto yivere rapto is hi sole aim in this life, ?ven his only religion. Old people and young people city folks and country folks, bf all classes and conditions, rush to buy anderthespell of this wonderful magician. Reward for Fence Burners.

IJe is also charged with breaking into and stealing from one of Mr. Jno. Blue's stores. When arrested his house was searched and some of the stolen goods recovered. The negro who was a discharged hand changed the switch, and but for the timely discovery several people would probably have been killed. Some tb ing Wrong. ; We have received a number of com plaints, covering the last three weeks, of failure to- receive the Weekly edition of the Observer. Three came this morning, one from Hope -Mills and two from Man chester. The fault is NOT in this office. The Observer packages have been de livered at the Postoffice in ample time for the mails for both Hope Mills and Man chester on Thursday. - V We shall thank our friends to give us prompt notice of every cause of complaint. A postal will suffice. We are determined to sift this matter to the bottom. 'A A Site Chosen. ' i The Directors of the Co-operative Cot ton Factory at their meeting , Thursday night decided to purchase the Buckingham property, consisting of about nine acres on Russell street, directly opposite the Oil Mill. The location is immediately on the C. F. & Y. V. railroad, and also close to the steamboat landing, is in a good tene ment section, and we understand -that the price was reasonable. The mill will prob ably be run on soft yarns, for quick and easy sale. It will be a one story building 75x150. The , dire tors are now! having; plans- and specifications drawn preparatory to com mencing work at once. " The Ball to be given by the F. I. L. I.

When Mr. Black .recovered his strange friend had disappeared, as had also Mr. Black's fine gold watch and pock et book. The police were not notified un til yesterday. After a diligent search, they discovered that the man had left, the city. From latest advices there seems to be some chance of capturing the rascal. Arrest of n llaft. Six breathles negroes came rushing into town yesterday, morning and were so much excited that it was some time be fore ; they could intelligently tell their roubles. They said they had been em ployed by a man named Raleigh Seabury to cut timber and make a raft ori Upper Litttle River, about 17 or i8miles from this city. After completing the raft, they carried it to the mouth of the Cape Fearj where they were to .be paid off, Seabury and another man carrying the raft on to Wilmington. Seaburv took the men to a certain place to pay thempand left them there, saying he would be back in a few minutes with the money. The men wait ed and waited, until . finally suspecting some treachery, they rushed to the spot Tvhere the raft was left; only to find it gone. To add to their chagrin they could see Seabury floating placidly down . the river on the raft, smoking, a pipe. . . When the men had collected their wits, they went before Magistrate Oyerby arid swore out a laborers' lien a. warrant, and an . execution. ;, They started , to find Township Constable Maultsby, and when nearing his house in Campbellton, caught sight of Seabury hurrying towards the river. A livel3T" chase ensued; in "which officer Maultsby,iwho : had just finished hitching up his horse, took part, tie was soon overhauled, and his raft found fast ened to the river bank, was levied upon. Seabury was released, and said he would soon return and fix , matters straight, but he has not been seen since. . Ho. 2, Beplies.
