Little bitten last Means' dog Sadie Fisher was badly Saturday by Mr. George Arrangements are being made for the holding of a fair at Poplar Tent earlv in the fall. Mr. II. M. Goodman has an egg with the perfect shape of a sunflower indented in the shell. The nights were extremely lovely during the first part of the week, so said the ladies. There will be a regular commu nication of Stokes Lodge, No. 32, A. F. and A. M., next Monday night The town, and especially the hotels, are being liberally honored these days by the commercial trav eler. Our boys know when "gentle Annie'' gets here to stay. A regular brigade are wearing the straw head gear. There was a big fire in Wades boro Wednesday morning, which de stroyed a hotel, two stores and a liverv stable. I. S. Henderson is doing some nice woiK in pnotograpnv. lie is 1 1 i 1 -aw now doing tine work on some views about the factory. The soda fount at Fetzer's drug store was put in full blast Wednes day morning, and the cooling drinks were enjoyed by many. The days of the bat are at hand. Already we hear "high ball," "low ball," and pretty generally out on the requisite number of strikes. A room in the new addition to Fetzer's drug store is being fitted up for a doctor's office. We learn that Dr. R. S. Young will occupy it. Quite a number of young ladies and gentlemen of the town, for pleasure and profit, attended services at White Hall Seminary on Sunday. Boils, together with the conse quent stiff necks, have not a few followers in town just now. As usual, "It's the worst one I ever had' The Standard's subscription book is made to put on a great big smile every day. They are coming at a rate beyond our expectations. Ah, my! It tickles us. Where's the town or "city" in North Carolina that can show as pretty a street as our North Main srtreet. The new-born foliage of the elms makes the scene grand. Our jolly friend, Jno. F. Moose, of No. 8, was in town one day this week and savs: " But one more long pull, and then the blackberries and red oats will come to our relief." The average boy may be seen poking around with one eye closed, aiming, tiring and missing with the "sling-shot." The boys intend to exterminate the poor little "yaller" breasted birds. Esquire J. N. Brown, our sani tary policeman, is now on the ronnd of inspection, so look to your inter est and clean up the hog pens and other addenda to back lots. A word to the wise is sufficient. Much editorial matter is crowded out this issue on account of pressing advertisements coming in at a late hour. "Our business men know where to advertise." It certainly looks as if they are finding out. We thank our young friend, M. A. Foil, for a beautiful commence ment card. Moses has been attend ing school at Catawba College for several years, and now looks upon it as his home or the home of . A regular summer shower, pre ceded by a storm of du3t, added much to the comfort of our town Wednesday. That night we had quite a storm, the heavy thunder and vivid flashings of the lightning be ing very severe. On account of the protracted meetings being held at the Methodist church the band will not give an entertainment to-night at Reed's Park. Being close to tbe church tlx.; entertainment-would necessarily disturb the exercises. W. M. Smith, Esq., is doing some tine work on his home lot. The ground is leing terraced. It would be a treat to any one to take a look at it, together with the splendid va riety of beantiful flowers that now decorate the grounds. Mr. Eli Propet, brother of our efficient sheriff, died at his home, near Enochville, Wednesday night. He had been troubled for some time with Bright's disease. Mr. P. was a good, influential citizen. Captain J 'ropst is away at the funeral, A number of interesting com munications are necessarily crowded out this issue. Freaching at Poplar Tent (Pres byterian) church by the Rev. C. M. Payne next Sabbath, 22d ultimo, at 6 P. M. We regret to learn that Mr. Jno. Moore, the manager at Mr. Joel Reed's mill, had an attack of verti go yesterday evening, and was badly hurt by falling against some of the running machinery. One of the barns of our friend, Lawrence Kluttz, in No. G township, wao burned on last Saturday night about 12 o'clock. Nine head of tine cattle were burned. It is supposed to have been the work of an incen diary, as tracks were traced going to and from the barn. The stockholders of the Con cord National Bank have organized with the following officers: J. M. Odell, president; D. F. Cannon, vice-president, and 1). B. Coltrane, cashier. Messrs. Flam King, G. M. Lore, J. W. Cannon and W. R. Odell were elected directors. Esquire C. A. Barringer, of No. 2 township, wishes to say, as doing service for his friends and the public in general, that the Manilla rooting is not at all satisfactory. He covered his house about two years ago with this rooting, and even now it has done its work, as the new roof. house needs a C. F. Foil. 0, E. Smith and Paul Caldwell, members of the sur veying class of Concord High School, have each made a nice map of the old cemetery (Lutheran). I hey lo cated the trees and graves, 456 in number, each of which are mini bered, and in the margin with the corresponding number the names are given. The boys have certainly done well. Last Friday, in default of a $50 bond, the constable brought to jai from No. 7 James Glover, a little boy ten years old, charged with steal ing an iron wedge. About ten davs ago the father and brother were in carcerated for burning Dr. Shim poch'sbarn in Rowan. The want of better training and good moral in fluence makes the little fellow a sub ject for pity. Just look at the nigger and the "cooter" in the advertisement of Me ssrs. Cannons & Fetzer. They mean business, and have the stock to meet the demands and please the most fastidious. Our readers wil not fail to "catch on" to the temp tation of the lowest prices ever known, nor will they miss this un paralleled chance without a complet "take in" of what they need. Giles Crowell, young man of this Esq., a native county, but for several years past the superintendent of a large flouring mill in South America, wants to hear the news from Cabarrus county, &c, and his friends knew no beeter way than to send him The Standard. For the benefit of those who wish to write him we give his address: Molinode Carcarana, Province de Santa Fe, Argentine Republic, South America. He has just signed a contract with his employers to continue with them for two years longer at $2,500 a year. OIT for a Time. Messrs. Will Bingham and R. L. Keistler are doing up Bilesville and its surrounding section. The pro fessor is giving the Bilesville Band the benefit of a thorough and com plete musical drill, and Bingham, with the characteristic fisherman's hope and luck, is rusticating on the banks of the Yadkin. Were it not rather early we would enjoin upon our friend to look out for snakes. Cabarrus Black Boys. At a meeting of the military com pany, Monday night, II. S. Puryear, Esq., in his usual pleasant manner, gave the boys some good, solid ad vice, and complimented them for the zeal and determination they were manifesting towards the successful organization. Seventeen new mem bers were added, making the number forty.eight. The name adopted is a good one, and the boys have honored themselves by giving to their com pany the name of the Cabarrus Black Boys. C'oneord Presbytery. This presbytery met at 11 A. at., April 12, at Franklin church, Row an county, N. C. There was a fair representation of clerical and lay del egates. Rev. C. M. Payne was cho sen moderator and Rev. J. A. Ram sey and Elder Stevenson temporary clerks. Rev. C. A. Munroe and Hon. A. Leazer were elected delegates to the next General Assembly, with Rev. C. M. Payne and O. D. Davis as al ternates. Tavlorsville was chosen as the place, and the 14th of September as the time, for the fall presbytery. A great amount of routine work was gone through with, and several important steps were inaugurated for the advancement of the cause of Christ. Educational meetings were ap pointed at several churches for the advancement of Christian education and in the interest of Presbyterian schools and colleges. Some important changes were made in grouping the churches, and supplies were appointed for the va cant churches. Nearly four hundred communi cants were added during the year, and quite au advance reported in the grace of giving to God, and upon the whole it was a very satisfactory meeting of the presbytery. A House of Seventy-Eight Yer. AVork was commenced Monday on the grounds for the new Lutheran parsonage by tearing down one of the oldest houses in town. This louse is said to have been built by a silver-smith named Hoi ton, who walked all the way from Philadel phia to this place. It is not neces sary to say that the framing is of the best and strongest, as all buildings in those davs were constructed in the most substantial manner. The nails are shop-made, and of course are yet good. In the walls, chimmes and nooks i i i l many interesting tilings were seen and found. On one brick was seen the print of a deer foot, on another that of a 1810 rabbit, and between the walls a horse-pistol, about four teen inches long, was found in good condition. Quite a number of pa rs, bearing dates 1815, 1816, &c. We give below a warrant issued the 18th of October, 1817: State of North Carolina, ? Cabarrus County.

Mr. David Long : Let the Bearer, Negro Boy, have One Quart Brandy ana Charge it to your friend, Wm. Springs. To David Long. Many other things were found, all of which gives an insight into the modus operandi in those days. LTp to the time of going to press the rat part had not been reached, but 'tis thought that quite an interesting history remains to be told, since it is said that much silverware has been stored away by the older and more appropriating rats.

Mr. John A. Kimmons was called to the bedside of his father, Mr. Wilson Kimmons, on Tuesday. Mr. Kimmons is near eighty-two years of age, and we understand he is quite feeble. Since writing the above we learn that Mr. K. died on Wednes day. Dr. Randolph Rose, of Big Lick and a Cabarrus boy, too, returned last week from a six weeks trip to Texas. The doctor only went on a pleasure trip, and speaks very highly of the Lone Star State, but thinks the Tar Heel in every respect the better. Masonic Notice.

Alexander, Secretary. After Many Days. Capt. R. A. Carter, of Concord, must have been a gallant soldier during the days that tried men's souls. In a skirmish in the eastern Eart of the State he and his men illed and captured a small company of Federal soldiers. Among the number killed was the captain, Julius Bassett, whose sword was taken by Capt. Carter. About three years ago he advertised it in some Northern papers, ana shortly aiterwaras tne son of the Federal captain sent for the sword, for which he presented Capt. C. with a beautiful gold-headed cane. Another iiiik in tne chain or bitterness broken. Tbe Wrong: End. The influence of the Farmers' Alliance has failed to reach oue un fortunate tiller of the soil. Last Wednesday evening our reporter saw leaving town a wagon drawn by a poor wliite horse and driven by one in whose face there were to be seen signs of internal troubles and cares. His load cousisted of two sacks of flour, one side of Western meat and two sacks of fertilizer. This farmer raises nothing but cotton, as the above indicates. With additional light and a real revising in our agricultural methods and radical changes we are forced to believe that he had the wrong end of the road or concluded not to sell meat. his flour and Married in Salisbury. Mr. George W. Brown, one of our enterprising business men, on last Tuesday morning, accompanied by his jolly, good-hearted brothers and their families, took himself to Salis bury, determined to carry out the injunction (again) "go thou and do likewise." At 10 o'clock, in the presence of manv invited friends, he was united in marriage to Mrs. Ben- cini, of that place. They came to Concord on the noon train, and were met at his residence by friends with overflowing congratulations and kind wishes. To the happy couple The Stan dard tenders its warmest congratu lations and richest wishes, and utters to the event, "Well done." Of course our baud went down in the evening. Everv one of them is fond of good things to eat. Bound to Go. The improvements going on in our town are truly gratifying. Quite a number of substantial business moves are now under consideration Our people never consider unless it means business, ine ract oi tne matter is told when we simply say that Concord has life none of your empty, exciting booms, thank you. .It is one, however, that builds factories, starts banks, removes old buildings and erects new and beauti ful ones. The old Central Hotel (now kept by Mr. McNamara) has been sold to a syndicate, and will be replaced by new and handsome buildings, oneot which is to be used for the bank. Nothing succeeds like success, espe cially when men of brains, energy and means go to work like our citi zens do. Township Primaries. Democrats of Cabarrus are hereby requested to meet at their respective voting places at 2 o clock, p. m., on Saiurday, May 12th, 1888. and elect delegates to a County Convention which is hereby called to meet in Concord on Saturday, May 19th, at 12 o'clock, in., to elect delegates to our District and State Conventions.

Poplar Tent Items. Mr. C- V. Voils, of Mooresville is down on a visit this week. "We have a Sunday school at our little school house with thirty regu larly attending scholars. Corn is coming up, and in a short time the old mnles will begin to think of "toting dem baskets under their nose." On the 16lb, Mr. M. Voils had to hive a 'swarm of bees. Worth two stacks of hay, if a swarm in May is worth one stack. Some farm eis in this section fin ished planting cottcn last week. Boys, if it rains thisweek, soak sev eral bushels of seed in warm water, and let's have a stand first. There is a great deal of complain ing about hens eating theh eggs. There is but one positive remedy for this. Cut their heads off just behind the ears. Au axe is the best surgical instrument. Wbeat is very fine in this section, and where much manure was put, it is almost knee high. The oats crop is not looking so well, but the old saying, "a bad start makes a good end," may prove true. Clover is extra fine, but has her arms fold ed and her face hid, as it is lament ing for rain. Ben. Mt. Pleasant Items. Wheat and oats never looked finer at this season. There are only 357 sheep in No. 8 township. Don't kill the dogs. The examination of the senior class of North Carolina College was concluded this week. The farmers east of us say the chinch bugs are making their ap pearance. Kill the birds. Men change. Not long since they were complaining of too much rain, now they are clamoring for it. Our old colored friend, Charles Heilig, has bis fishing tackle rigged on a pipe stem. He evidently knows what fisning in our creeks means. The commissioners of Mt. Pleas ant have ordered an election for mayor and commissioners, to serve for one year, to be held on the 7th of May next. Rev. H. M. Brown, of Winston, N C, will deliver the alumni oration at the cominer commencement of North Carolina College. He is agra.Iuate of the class of 73. Mr. L. A. Lentz and wife, on Mon day, returned from a visit to Gas ton county, not looking as well as when they went. Too much cake and dance. They had gone to be 'at the wedding of their brother, Paul E. Lentz. A gentleman of this town dreamed the other night that he had the nomination for Governor. He was miserable uitil he awoke and found it was a mistake; he got happy. He says ne cannot conceive oi any got greater misery, unless he had the Republican nomination. We are glad to announce that Prof. R. G. Kizer, of Salisbury, N. C. will deliver the annual literary address before the students of the N. C. College on May 31st. He has for a number of years been en gaged in literary work, and will doubtless give them such a literary treat as is not often enjoyed. The citizens of this community are ready for a big railroad meeting for the proposed road from Concord to Albemarle. A oitizen of Stanly says that in the matter of $125,000 to se cure the road, Cabarrus ought to meet them half way, as Stanlj has been the cow that Cabarrus has milked for a long time. Truth, William ; lets have the meeting. The Rev. Brantly York D. D., the old blind man, now eighty-four j ears old and blind for forty years, preach ed on Sunday night in the Metho odist church to a crowded house. On Monday night he was booked to lec ture on "Education" in the college chapel ; but in anticipation of a crowded house the lecture was given in the Methodist church. The Rev. York is a well preserved man, apd not often do we find men of his age of the Fame mental vigor as he. In his lecture he made a number of happy illustrations, and conclusively showed why education should be the chief c oncern of the State. He de dared that it was the antidote for witchcraft and superstition, and in illustration of this fact carried his audience back with him to his boy hood davs relating a number of amusing incidents. It was then the common belief that tne appear ance of a comet, the crowing of a hen, and so on, vere the precursors of a dire calamity. He well remem bered that it was the almost general belief that the comet of 1812 beto kened the war between the United States and Great Britain ; and many believe that it was the cause of tbe war. So when the people heard a hen crow there was sure to happen some awful calamity. He showed how foolish it was to kill a hen that nnlv foretold the calamity. Then it was that he learned the saying that "A whistling girl and a crowing hen Will bring the devil out his den Well, I forget, I am transgressing the limits of a local. A citizen of our town becoming convinced that he had the mule that come out of Noah's ark, repaired to the popular fair grounds at Abe marie during court week for a swap Soon he was seen in the innumer able crowd joining in the deafening vernacular of the grounds, "How'll you swap ?" It was not long before he found his man. They exchanged mules our man parting wit j $12.50 of the filthy lucre, and both mounted their mules, and, Gilpin-like, made for home, for fear of a rue. The next day he must try his mule to the nloucrb.. but the mule tried him. He was seen riding the mule, his young fir Ron holdiner the tloufrb, and his older son doing the clubbing. saw the mule didn't get all the licks, for it was too fine an oppor tunity for the son to get even with the old man to have not availed himself of it. On Sunday the mule with the other horses was turned in the pasture to graze; but it was not long before they commenced game of kick. The hoises, bein fresh shod, were too many for the mule,and kicked him clear out of the pasture. As the people were return ing home from church the mule was seen coming leisurly down the street. The wife recognized the mule, and said to ner little son: "Jimmie, there comes your mule drive him back." Jimmie said, "Ma that mule knows how to take caie of himself, and I am going to do the same." In tho kicking the hoises almost flayed the mule, and the bet ter part oi runaay was spent in pasting up the hide of the mule, These are some of the tricks cf the critter that makes me 'spise a mule EX-SENATOR COXKEIXtt DEAD. The Distinguished Statesman Passes A way How tue News Was Reeelved in the United States Senate. New York, April 18. Roscoe Conkling died at 1:50 this morning, surrounded by his family physicians and a few friends. Roscoe Conkling was born at Al bany, New Yoik, on October 30, 1829. He was educated for the bar and entered upon the practice of his profession in 1346, at Utica, with Francis Kernan, with whom he sub sequently served in the United States Senate. In 1858 he was elected Mayor of TJtica, and in the same year a mem ber of the Lower House of Congress. In 1S60 he was re-elected and in 1862 he was defeated by his former law partner, Francis Kernan. The first speech that signalized his ability before the country was in favor of the fourteenth amendment. He was conspicuous in the eyes of the nation for his opposition to the McClelland movement and the Squalding Legal Tender Act. A well-remembered historic epi sode in his career wasthe encounter he had with Blaine in the House. He held Blaine in great contepmt and continued to do so to the end. lie was re-eiectea in i6b ana in 1867, before Congress convened, he was elected lo the United States Senate and was re-elected twice to this high post of honor in 1873 and in 1879. He was loyal throughout to Presi aent want ana was properly re garded one of his leading supporters and directors. He was the cham pion of the civil rights bill and warm ly advocated the resumption of specie payments. He never had a strong following for the Presidency. At the Cincin nati convention in 1876, he neverthe less received 93 votes for the nomina tion. He was defeated in his at tempt to secure for President Grant a nomination for the third term at the Chicago convention in 1880. In 1881 he and President Garfield disagreed about the disposition of the spoils of tne New York offices and as a result he resigned his posi tion as senator ana returnea to n:s State, and appealed te the Legisla ture for are-election as a vindication of his course, but through the ma nipulations of Blaine he was disap pointed.whereupon he determined to retire from politics and resume the practice of his profession. Mis career as a lawyer was one series of great successes. His repu tation grew marvellously. The most important and best paying cases fel into his hands, and he had succeeded in accumulating enough money to pay off his indebtedness. His private life was unstained by any crookedness. At no time was any of the crookedness charged against him which had besmirched many of his colleagues. Washington, April 18. "When both Houses assembled this mornin therd were universal expressions of regret over the death of Mr. Conk iirg. Democrats and Republicans pronounced enlogiums on the pri vate and public character of the dead statesman. The Republicans uniformerly recognize a loss in the death of Mr. Conkling that the en tire party will feel in partisan coun sels at the approaching compaign. A few believe the death will have an important bearing upon the action of the Convention at Chicago in June, and say it removes the last barrier to the ambitions of certion prominent politicians, especially in respect to New York State. None of the Senators or well known Rep resentatives are willing to be quoted as saying anything of especial sig nificance in connection with Mr. Conkling's death, and confine their conference to tributes of the highest praise. A general disposition svas shown among the Senators to take some action in reference to the death of the exSenator, but no pre cedent was found for an adjourn ment of the Senate on account of the death of an ex-Senator. A num ber of Senators will probably attend the funeral. Representative Ma hone has caded a meeting of the New York delegation to be held in the South lobby of the House tomorrow morning for the purpose of appoint ing a committee to attend the fu neral, and taking other action on the death of Mr. Conkling. New Yobk, April 18. The funeral of ex-Senator Conkling will take place on this (Friday) morning at 10 o'clock at Trinity Chapel. The Rev. D. Morgan Dix will officiate. A 1,000 or more telegrams and letters of condolence have been received by the family. The city court and the United States Ciacuit Court ad journed today out of respect to .the memory of the late ex-Senator. Albany, New York. April 18. When appiised of the death of Ros coe ucnimng, uov. mil saia to a Unitwd Press reporter: "The death of such a man as Mr. Conkling is a loss to the country at large, and especially to the State hetried faith P 11 i T-r iuuy to serve, ms career as a statesman has been an unusually clear and honest one, and the party to which he belonged is the only one that failed to do him honor.
