Fayetteville Observer

An Answer and Appeal.

In answer to a daily interrogatory—'How is Mr. Barry getting on?'—we have to report him still improving, and that he will probably be able to walk out in a few weeks—no doubt preventing Providence. Yet, it will be months before his injuries will allow him to do much about the office. In this connexion, we would earnestly solicit his friends to aid in extending the circulation of the Observer. Each one of our subscribers could, with a very little trouble, add one or more new names to our Subscription List. This would help materially. Will our friends make the effort?

Mr. Barry was one of the heaviest sufferers by the storm—his dwelling-house, furniture, smoke-house, stable, all, are destroyed. And the Printing Office is the only thing by which the loss can be retrieved. We hope our friends will do something in this matter, either by aid or subscription. We have the best assortment of Job Type ever brought to this section of the State, and are prepared to do all kinds of printing on moderate terms and as neatly as any establishment in Tennessee. Come and see.

Some of our subscribers failed to get their papers last week as promptly as usual, we hope to stand excused. Although connected with the Office since its establishment in town, 'putting up the mails' has not been a part of our duties, until now, and we haven't yet fully 'got the hang of the matter.' Mistakes shall be promptly rectified, as soon as we are apprised of their existence.

The Circuit Court commenced its March Session at this place on yesterday week; Judge Marchbanks presiding. We understand that the litigation cases have mostly been deferred.

Our readers will understand why there is so little editorial matter in to-day's paper. Heretofore, we have had five persons engaged in the business; since the storm, we have had but three, and part of the time only two. It necessarily follows, of course, that we have 'neither time nor opportunity' to write. This will not be the case long.

We learn that there have been eight deaths from cholera in the last few days at Franklin, Williamson County. A Mr. Dodge was taken sick there, from Nashville and died. No other deaths in the city.

The labels ordered by Mr. M., for Messrs. B. & M., have been printed some time, and no opportunity has offered to forward them. What shall we do?

our next.

Much is needed.
