THE ST&tl DARD. TOWN AND COUNTY. "There's a Chiel Amanq ye Takin Note3 and Faith He'll Prent Them." The Dnrnmjr Hm Arrived. The arrival of the dummy (which, by the way, is not a very dumb dummy) last Saturday was an inter esting event, and was witnessed by quite a crowd. She was at once fired up and her powers tested by a climb up the steep grade to the Lutheran church, affording interest and delight to quite a number in spite of the miu. It works very nicely, and seems to give satisfaction to her owners, and will be of great assist ance in hauling material for the track. It has been very appropriately named "Annie," in honor of Mrs. Annie Allison, the wife of the presi dent of the road. Tlie County Home. Some one of good taste and fine feeling has suggested that the poor house no longer be called by that name, but that it should be called the county home. There is some thing harsh in the present name that, in spite of cold reasoning to the contrary, reflects some discredit upon the poor unfortunates that must make their homes there. It is a charitable institution, supported as such by the county, so that it is somewhat Inappropriate to designate it by a name that is perhaps slightly uncharitable. This much is certain : When we have to go there, we want it called the county home. Oar Coctljr PrlMMti. We are glad that there ism possi ble chance of some plan being per fected by which the inmates of the county jail can be utilized in work ing on the streets and public roads in the county. If the McDonald Uoad Law be adopted by the magis trates and commissioners next Mon day, of which there seems to be a reasonable prospect, judging from the opinions we here expressed in regard to it, there are in it ample provisions for working the county convicts. There are now in our jail five prisoners a dead expense to the county. One alone of these will cost the county ninety dollars before he is released. This, so far as actual good accomplished is concerned, is almost a waste. Tkem ( StatMTlll. Deputy-Sheriff John Propst ar rested near Mr. J. Pethel's, la3t Friday, Law eon Barrier, who was wanted in Iredell county. It seems that lie got into a fight some time ago, and was released from custody under bond for his appearance at the last term of court at Statesville. Preferring ltg bail to the kind he was then enjoying, he took advantage of his liberty and skipped to Cabar rus. His bondsmen, hearing of his whereabouts, had him arrested. He was taken to Statesville Monday by our sheriff. Sheriff Propst seemed very much amused at his prisoner when he handed him over to the authorities in Statesville. It had been necessary to handcuff him for security, and when the euffs were being taken off he swore that he would whip Mr. Propst as soon &s he got out of jail, and he would kill the next man who tried to handcuff him. The Burglar. The burglars have come at last. Concord has had a long rest from their depredations, not having been seriously troubled by them for many years. Fortunately those who visited us last Friday night went away al most as empty-handed as they came. They entered the St. Cloud Hotel little after 10 o'clock, and, when first seen by the cook, were engaged in emptying some trunks and scattering their conteuts over the floor. The cook stood and looked at them while the head waiter, Edward (colored), ran for his pistol. The burglars heard him coming, and made their escape. He shot at them four times in the dark, and if he had had some assistance might hare caught them. The cook describes them as being very black with right straight hair. This would indicate that they were white people in disguise. At Mr. Hoover's they attempted to get in, and broke several blinds at the window. At Mr.' D. A. Cald well's they entered while some one was reading in the parlor, and went up stairs. They were heard walking in the house, but it was thought to be some member of the family. At Mr. Frank Rogers' they only only got an umbrella. At Mr. Sel ler's they reached in the window and got a pair of boots. The umbrella and boots would come in very well, as it was raining very hard at the time. They tried to get in at Mrs. Wagoner's, Mrs. Fisher's and several other places, but nowhere succeeded in getting anything valuable. The people are now on their guard, and will give them a warm reception if they return. Attention, ( tburran Black BT!

It has been over two months since he left, and missionaries are usually heard from in six weeks. m One nt' Our Teachers. Here is what the correspondent of th' Marion Times-Register has to say a'lout Miss Anna Neal, principal of Virginia Dare Institute, while attending the Teachers' Assembly at Morehead City: "One wonders if all the prettiest plrls in the Stai e have enrolled them selves in this grand army, battling against inoiunce and its attendant vices. Miss Anna Neil is winning golden opinions from all. She is recognized as one of the most ac complished and advanced educators of the State, aiuthe Virginia Dare Institute-, under her able and thor ough supervision, enjoys a prestige most enviable, as one of the first edu cational inslitulioue of the State. I w'idi all Marion could have been present to have heard Miss Anna sing in the beautiful duet of "Ref uge." I have known Miss Anna Neal from childhood, or rather thought so, but she was a revelation as she stood before that magnificent preaence, spirtuelle in her beauty. She seemed like one inspired such pathos, depth of feeling, and sweet est music, swelling forth from her swan-like throat it was the music of the soul heavenly and fell upon i the entranced audieucc like the ben- ' odictioii sifter prayer. 1 could rot i realize that this grand woman was I the Anna Xeal, the little child, the i tairy tiling, with red, round cheeks, 1 1 hud played with in childhood.'

IlriKlit FreclN for llio Sent NoknIoii On Wednesday the Board of Trus tees of North Carolina College held a large and enthusiastic meeting.

The Board has adopted a class uniform, which is calculated to work up a considerable interest among the boys.

Race Track, Texas, July 25.- I see some letters in your paper from Texas, so I thought I would write one for the benefit of my friends and school mates. January 19thr 1S70, I bade my parents good-bye. I started for Texas. 1 landed at Jefferson Feb ruary 3d. There we took the train (ox wagon with six yokes of Texas steers to it.) The driver had no lines on them, but drove them with a ten or twelve-foot whip. We landed at Pittsburg February 7th, and now I will say I was deceived, as I expected to see a prairie country, but I could see large forests of pine. I have found out since that Texas ha3 25,000,000 acres of fine pine forest. At that time this was a cat tle and wool-raising State. To-day we raise more cotton than any other State. We find we have iron and coal in large quantities in our hills. The reports of the Agricnltural Department at Washington show that in' proportion to her cultivated acreage Texas has returned ten per cent, more to her farmers than Ohio, Indiana or Illinois ; and when you take into consideration the low price of farming lands compared with those of the States already men tioned, the security of loans on farms in Texas is better than either of the other States can offer. There are fewer paupers in pro portion to population-than are con. tained in any other State, and alto gether there is no better place socially or otherwise in which to establish a home aud a business. The census of 1870 was 800,000 souls; in 1880, 1,600,000, and in 1890 it will not be less than 3,000,000. Texas has 5,000,000 acres of land, subject to homestead, free to settle on as the air we breathe. This ia enotrgh to furnish farms of 160 acres each to 30,000 families, while there are three times that number of families with out homes in North Carolina. Texas has also millions of acres of land for sale at from $2 to $3 per acre, with forty years to pay for it! Who is it that cannot pay for a home in forty years ? Texas is the place for cheap homes, good schools and light taxes. All my people are in North Caro lina, and I guess they are satisfied there. How they make a living I can't tell, as their land is so poor. If you were to set a Texas man down on your poor red hills he would starve. Farm hands in Texas are worth fifteen dollars a month and board, and good hands can get more. have a hand from South Carolina. I think he is the best hand I ever saw. I give him $200 a year and board. Corn is worth twenty and twenty five cents a bushel; flour, one and a-half cents ; patent two and a quar ter ; patent roller two and a half. The wheat crop is good. 1 made from twenty-five to thirty bushels per acre. May The Standard ever live is the wish of yours, M. L. Parish. The Latest News.

Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone received an equal amount of presents on the occasion of their golden wedding a few days There are 125,000 personB who can neither read nor write, all in one State, and it isn't in Texas, either, that we find them. They are in Massachusetts. What is wanted in Massachusetts is a little less culture and a little more readin', ritin' 'n rethmetic ; less eye-glasses and more eyes; less accent and more education.
