The Observer has kindly advertised several young men as being marriagable subjects, recommending them to the old-maids who need protection and support of a husband. This is all right, but we have been at a loss to know why the name of O. E.. Hawkins, (Observer editor and proprietor, did not appear but looks now as though lady assistant number 1 was to be a permanent fixture, which of course would place him out of the market.
Several fellows from a neighboring town came to Saline last Sunday with a goodly supply of liquor, and imbibed freely until they were just fighting mad, and fought among themselves filling the air with curses, oaths and all manner of indecent language. Our worth marshal being a brave man remained at home and on a second notification of the carousal sent the "lock-up" key up town by a boy. As much as ye correspondent would like to see such demonstrations quelled it would be far more to Saline's credit to get a marshal that is not afraid to do his work. When such an one is found perhaps it would be well to look after and close the saloons up stairs and down, as well as the back doors, also groceries that insist on doing a Sunday business, and when so far on the good road, why not close the restaurants and barber shops. There is not only a moral but a civil law that commands Sunday observances. Let Saline clear her skirts of the continual desecration of the Lord's day.
