Work Don.
With that machine that makes
25,000 pressed brick per day, IL A.
brown has completed his work at the
depot brick yard, iroin which bricks
for Patterson's new store and the
Cannon factory addition were obtain
ed. On Tuesday evening he moved
his machinery to Forest Hill, where

ing bricks for the bag factory.
A Cull Received.
Iiev. J. D. Newton, of the Baptist
church in this place, has received a
call to the pastorate of several
churches near Durham. "We are
clad that Mr. Newton has decided
to remain with us and continue his
labors with the good people whom
he has so acceptably served for more
than a year. His brother, Rev. C. C.
Newton, of Durham, will at an early
day go a3 missionary to Africa.
Sbort II y Crop.
The " first cutting " will prove a
Email one in the hay business in this
county. A trip into the country a
few days ago revealed to us the fact
that many meadows and clover-grass
lots, which promised bountiful crop3,
have a short and considerably dried
coat of grass and clover. Our peo
ple are taking to grass raising more
and more every year, and this partial
failure will evidently dampen the
enthusiasm of many, but with a
good season these same lands will yet
bear a good crop of hay.
The Owner Found.
The money, of which a note was
made in last week's Standard, has
been claimed. Thi3 money, three
twenty-dollar bills, was rolled to
gether and found in Mr. R. A. Car
ter's store by his son Ephraim, who,
when finding it, called his father,
who at once was satisfied that it be
longed to some one else. Last Tues
day Mr. George TV. Whitley, of
Stauly county, came in and proved
his property. Stanly county farmers
surely haro money. By the way
Ephraim Carter deserves no honor!
fur reporting his find, but wouldn't
this country be a glorious one if all
the young men were of Ephraim's
type?
A Short Speech.
A nicely-dressed gentleman, with
a "good face on him," stopping at
the St. Cloud last week, made quite
a short speech at the Cannon facto
ry Thursday night. In the midst of
his oration (soliciting hands to go to
Tennessee to work in a mill) Mr. J.
W. Cannon, the secretary and treas
urer of the company, walked in. It
was not long until the silver-tongued
orator stepped down from his mount
ed position and, taking to his heels,
was soon lost in the shadows of the
wood3 near by.
The operators at the factory, of
course, are satisfied with their situa
tion, and listened to this man only
through mere respect.

Our mention of the big factory in

fact that for the use of our factories
in this place 15,000 bales of cotton

raised iu the county and even more,
by half, than is sold in this market'
With more and other enterprises a
market will be created here in which
can be sold, to advantage, everything

they won't try to have any fun-
Mr- Frank Klontz, of Charlotte,
moved into a vacant house near our
post-office, but became dissatisfied
and returned to Charlotte. He is
suffering from rheumatism, and his

The refreshing rains which we
have always been used to having
heretofore have ceased to corneas
in the days of yore, and the blight
ing effects of drought are not con
fined to crops and vegetation but
the heavy lines of care are written
on every face. The people are drying
up.
Many talk of planting their cotton
fields in corn. As there is not a man
in this section who has a stand of
cotton and no prospect for one, it
occurs to us that all such , cotton
lands should be planted in corn at
once. The extra oondition of cot
ton land with the fertilizer would in
sure a good corn crop if it were to
rain enough- It seems the people
have a chance of trying to see if they
can't make some corn at home in
stead of buying it from the North.
They had better make the effort.
The sturdy old farmer seems to be
dismantled of his usual levity but
looks doleful and restless, and has
depicted in his face the sad story of
disappointment- Never before have
we been so forcibly impressed with
the harmony of all created nature.
The same principle that infuses the
elements of growth and expansion
into the tiny blade of grass and
brings the whole vegetable kingdom
to a state of perfection that is traly
sublime imparts to man a vigor, an
increase of joy, and a power to sur
mount the obstacles to his temporal
comfort. Cobhcbackxb-

Letter from Texaa.
Spbihgtown, Texas,
May 23d, 1889. f
Messbs. Editors:
I promised my friends that I would
let them hear from me when I got
to Texas, and as it would be impos
sible for me to write a letter to each,
I take this means of writing to all.
At 1 o'clock, a. m., February 26th, I
and family boarded the train at Con
cord, N. C, and on the 28th at 10 A.
M. we arrived at "Weatherf ord, Texas,
and a drive of seventeen miles
through rain and mud brought us to
the artesian city, iSpnngtown. This
place is in the northeast portion of
Parker county and is on the Fort
Worth and Albuquerque railroad,
now in course of construction.
Parker county in 1870 had a pop
ulation of 3,500 : now it has 23.500.
about one per cent of which is col
ored. It has an area of 576,000
acres, about two-fifths of which is
covered with timber and three-fifths
is prairie. The soil embraces several
varieties the black waxy.the "Brazos
red loam," the black sandy, &c. It
is adapted to corn, cotton, small
grain and all the varieties of rege
tables. It is easily cultivated, and
there is no necessity for fertilizers in
this country, as the sou is from six
teen inches to twenty feet deep and
will last for ages. Coal exists in the
western portion of the county, and
arrangements are being made to
work it on a large scale. The county
is rery well watered by numerous
streams and hundreds of springs of
pure water. Good wells can be had
at from fifteen to fifty f est, and arte
sian water at less than one hundred
feet, which flows continually.
On last Sunday I was called to see
a daughter of a gentleman now liv
ing who bore the chain in surveying
out the county and who drove the
stake in the center for the county
seat, "Weatherf ord, which has a pop
ulation of 5,000 and three banks,
two railroads and an entensive trade
and manufacturing interests.
The climate of Parker county is
very fine. Most commonly the win
ters are very mild and the summers
pleasant. The health is very good
far better than many other places
not possessed of like natural advan
tages. The rainfall is somewhat un
certain, yet there has always been
plenty to make the crops except in
1886 and 1887, when the great
drought struck this country, and
there may never be another such
one. It does not take as much rain
here to make a crop as in your old
red hills. The land is open,-and it
takes up the water and holds it for
vegetation to grow from. There is
fine grass, and stock get fat and live
without much feed throughout the
entire winter. There are few storms
and tornadoes, but there is nearly
always a gentle wind, which renders
the shade pleasant and the nights
cool, thus insuring refreshing sleep,
I will let you hear from me again
as I learn more of the country and
the people. Yours truly,
Dr. John W. Moose.

Bhe had early sought the Lord, and had

Mount Airy, N. C, March 25th, 1889.
I have been suffering for the last four
years: have been using glasses in the'
meantime, and for the last six months
could find no glasses to fit. About
a month ago I went to the most emin
nent Oculist in Baltimore and was
unsuccessful in obtaining a pair to
suit. I then took a pair of Dr. D. S.
Harmon's Pebble Glasses on trial,
and can read better and with less
pain than for the last two years-. So
well pleased was I that I have
bought two pair for fear that I might
get one pair broken. I have been
acquainted with- Dr. Harmon for
two weeks, and find him a perfect
gentleman, lours truly.
