They aiv interested and nii-aii what thev say, and Mr. Fife will doubtless hold the meeting. A I'orp into tli' T. M. C. A. Itooins. A standard reporter dropped into the rooms of the Y. M. C.

The .Itaudard is not aware tf any permanent arrangement by which the services of Mr.McXamara will be retained, but the Standard bets a year's subscription that no niiii will take a greater interest in tli- iii than Col. McXaniara. A lt-lilitfii! Evening. Complimentary to Misses Ella Scrg'-nt and 01 lie Odell, a pleasant e;iti rtainnu'Mt was given, Tuesday evening, at "Elheth," the elegant and hospitable home of Mr. and Mrs. V. K. Odell. The evening was a ileliehtful one, the large party of invited friends caught the spirit of the surroundings, and the elegantly spread delicacies were greatly enjoy ed by all. About 12 o'clock the partv "broke-up," and the highly entertained guests left for their homes with fond recollections of the pleasures of the evening and pleas ant, hospitable and elegant "Elbeth."' H Killcil llimelf While limiting. f.ait Saturday while a party of young men were hunting rabbits in I'nion county, just acr ;s the Cabar rus line, Mr. James Long accidentally shot and killed himself. h: a cotton patch .and cliiro i'i upfii a ft ump so he could see the lvboit if it should come his way. -ie stood his gun on the stump by his side, and it slipj ed off, the hammer strik i:.g the stump as it went down and was discharged, sending the whole hud into his side. When his com nid. s arrived at the spot he was f-miid to be uncon cious and dying. He died in a very few-minutes. in liiilian Mound. ur friend, Dr. Herring, while at his native place in Sampson county, diseovered ami dug into m old In dian mound. .Some samples of Ii diiin bones the Doctor brought with hi in; among them was a jaw that indicates that the owner was a regular giant. A whole pen full of Indians were buried with their feet together in the manner of the spokes in a wagon wheel. Tradition has some interesting items about this mound, and those together with some authentic historical facts make a story of great importance and interest. Dr. Herring, being in pos.-cssion, of the facts, etc., has promised to give thdn, at an early d iy. to the readers of the Standard. We all await his pleasure. llrilliiint Marrinjtem in Charlotte. Tuesday night the Trvon street Methodist church, of Charlotte, was lighted brilliantly and the decora tions made everything inside charm ingly beautiful." The brilliant light shone on the beautiful Florida powers and made them rejoice as if they were in their own sunny clime. H was made so because one of the most brilliant social events of the season was to take place. Miss Julia 1 'ow d, daughter of Major and Mrs. C. Dowd, as married to Edward K. Hiyan, Rev. Dr. Solomon Tool per forming the ceremony. The groom entered with his brother, V. C. M. Bryan, of New Mern, and the bride entered with her sister, Miss Nan Dovvd. The attendants were: .Mr. John M. Morehead and Miss Lucy Oales ; Mr. Marthtt Shipp and Miss Meeker springs; Mr. Willis Dowd and Miss I'aiinii; r.urwell ; Mr. II. S. Bryan and Miss Nina Adams, of Mcnroe; -Mr. W. S. Hallyburton, of Durham, and Miss Marv Woodcock, of Ashe ville. After the ceremony the bridal par y and invited guests repaired to the lesidence of Major Dowd, where a brilliant reception was given. The contracting parties are bth deservedly popular and arc among the most brilliant social stars of Charlotte, and their sweet disposi tions have made them shine more radiantly in the social firmament.

People crowded in today and made things look lively for a while. Cot ton was scarce. The blizzard that started South a fe v days ago, was soared off by this wonderful climate of ours. Mrs. Ksther White, who has been visiting her father, Mr. Allison, left for her home in l ort Mill. L. M. Coggins, who has been car pentering in Charlotte for quite a while, has returue.l to the city. Signor Uitz, once our tally man, but now doing the candy act in Bur lington, spent the holidays here. The Dart brings us the informa tion that China drove is a splendid market for rabbits ar.d rabbit skins. Monday night Mrs. John Dry died. Mrs. Dry was a sister to Mr. Tilman Tucker, w ho died a few days ago. A lot of people are taking advan tage of the holiday cheap rates now, and visiting their frieuds and sweet hearts. This morning was cooler than Monday morning, and Jack Frost loitered around in the shade till late in the day. Senator Vance h is just made one of the greatest speeches of his life, in the Senate. It was against the infamous l-'orce bill. The man who sees nothing good only the things around his ova nose. 8 a very poo:- critter, and ought to have a head put on him. Mrs. .1. t. recur came uown today from her new home on the new Stanly railroad, and is visiting tier brother, X. F. Vorke.

Weddington & Co.'s right hand man, of Charlotte, came over this .morn ing to see his handsome brother, the high sheriff's deputy. The show windows are still very pretty, but show that the rush of trade has carried much of the goods aivay, and left the windows bare, and the hearts of the seller glad. A good friend at Smith's Ford has just left us a bunch of line rich pine. It conies in mighty nice now when a fellow's feet will stick to the iioor when he gets out of bed. Mrs. A. 0. Scott is visiting in Lexington. Mr. Scott could not stand the loneliness of home without a wife and went down to the "City of Hoses'' to enjoy the scenes of his childhood. Mrs. SilTord, wife of Mr. Peter L. Sifford, who lives on Mr. George Fisher's place about eight miles from town, died Monday night. She had been in failing health for some time, and her death was not unex pected. The water works went dry this meriting. This speaks bad for a duv town; it shows that there are many parched tongues ar.d dry throats in town t Kit want their thirst quenched, and all of this just alter C instmas, too. The iron indicators at the depot have been taken down to have the number changed to suit the, change of schedule. In the mean time the men at the depot will have to an swer a thousand and one useless questions about when the train will come. East i rdav a car ot coal was shipped here from Virginia, and was side tracked, where it has stood till this morning. AVhen a part of the coal had been htken out several big buncTies of pure white snow were found in it. The weitherhas been warm since then, and thi proves that it has been uniform. rrom the Asheville L-itizen we learn of a very destructive lire at Alexanders, ten miles below Ashe ville. The large store belonging to T. S. Morrison and the Wi N. C. railroad depot were destroyed by lire. Two TounLr men who slept in the store "up stairs had a very narrow escape from perishing in the ilauies. 1 hey had to jump out at tne win dow. It will be remembered that J. F.d White, son of Mr. C. K. White, of this city, was for a long time, depot agent at that place. Thus far we have heard no reports of mad dogs in the country. See notice of trustee sale of land by D. F. Cannon. Pead it. Albert Gillon. of Hampden Sid ney, Va., is visiting his parents. Last night Mr. Caleb Winecoff, who lived near the poor house, died. Geo. E. l'isher has a chance tc exercise his patience boils, you know. Most of the country schools in the county will resume their work again today. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Fry ling have returned from their stay at Eliza beth Cit-. "Hello! A1i hie what kind (hie) of a time did you have Christ mas, ah hie !J " The colored people had a Christ mas tree at the Methodist church on Monday night. Everything is on a hustle and a move preparatory to t he moving that will begin to-morrow. Pead the notice of Geo. L. Pat terson, administrator of Mrs. E. M. Ileilig, deceased. A. C. Freeman, of Albemarle, was in the city Monday night looking after business interests. Those few bales of cotton on the new platform look lonesome, and "stand like guarding sentinels." Those who attended the drama at St. John's Tuesday night say it was a success, and highly entertaining. Mr. G. (J. Richmond has decided to sell off his valuable town property lido. See his ad in another column. Nice hulle t walnuts are being put on the market in great abundance. The nuts are good size and of tine tlavor. On last S.iturday Mrs. Elam Teeter, who lives near llarrisburg, died from a cancer. She was 5"..' ye n s old. The shoo-lly train was not crowded so much with passengers" today. It is always on time, and stops here to get water. The sudden change for the warm in the weather has put a damper on all the hopes which were entertained for a nice skating. A new addition to the Morris building is just now being tinished. It is between the "Hotel Morris"' and the other building. The ofiioe of the Twin-City Daily was destroyed by lire during the hol idrty suspension. The paper will appear as usual this week. Mrs. J. P. Bell who has been vis iting her son-in-law, Dr. Pamsour, in China (.J rove, returned and is with her daughter, Mrs. II. M. Blair. The last call of the year will be made tomorrow, just look out, there comes a bill now and the accounts will begin with the year. Mr. A. J. Yorke, the hat drum mer, will take the road in a few days,nd supply the men of his ter ritory with hats for the spring trade. The fatted calf was taken through the street this morning, and the prodigal who returns and makes new resolves on New Year's will be made glad. Look out for a lot of business changes soon, and with an increase in business enterprises.- It will sur prise us if we don't see several new yndustries spring up here. Everything is quiet along the line in he way of stealing. The chick ens are roosting exceptionally high, and the business men have secured their doors with double bars. The small f r ime building on the Uhletic base ball grounds near Wilmington, and used for a ticket cilice, was burned Monday. It is supposed to have been tired by tramps. The Poplar Tent Alliance passed ome very timely resolutions last week. i. hey otur ijtuu reward ior t he capture and evidence to convict any man who sells liquor in viola- i ion of the liquor laws. The Hornets Nest Piflemeii, of Charlotte, want to be transferred from the Fourth Pegiment. Thev will at once make application for the transfer, but they have no idea how thev will strike Governor Fowle on the subject. Surveyor J no. II. Long was in town this morning. Mr. Long has about recovered from his recent dangerous experiences in the creek at his saw mill, where he came near being -drowned in the angry a:.d swollen current We don't like to say much, but that the streets and side walks are in a deplorable condition in placet-, is a fact that can't be den: 1. In some place3 holes have washed out and made it not only ugly and bad, but real dangerous. Several families with their house hold furniture were at the depot to day ready to be moved to other points. They go, some to the farm, so lie to the wes',som; farther south, and some the Lord knows where. On the same train came equally as many families to take the places of those moving away. We were glad to have a call from that high toned gentleman, and prominent politician, Mr. J. L. Iseet, of Chelute, Kansas. Mr. Iseet has figured conspicuously as a Democrat in t lie political affairs of his State, having once been a candi date for Congress, aud the Lieuten ant-Governorship, and several terms in (lie State Senate. Though a Per nsylvanian by birth, he loves the New South and has done a great deal to develop his adopted section of it. Yesterday was warm and beauti ful, and felt like Spring. The birds were down on the ground, and the gentle breezes from Jhe South made it feel as if the leaves would soon put forth their buds. But this morning the san did not shine on a day so beautiful; the soft southern breezes had not been passing idly by, but had arrived, heavily freighted with rain from the Gulf of Mexico. A mean rain followed and the day has been a cold and disagreeable one. BfiriTTir mwinr i i nmmi Bit men, little men, ugly men and pretty men came in from every quarter to-day. A good deal of horse swapping going on. Some mighty thin horses in the back lots. There's nothing that people should be S3 careful about, and shun, as personal notoriety. That cemetery fund is moving, but slowly. The Standard feels that the amount will be raised. All through the holidays the merrv ringing of the wedding bells have not ceased to be heard. On many of the apple trees are still green leaves, the winter not being hard enough to kill them. More people shook binds the past week, both in meetings and depart ing farewells, than will soon again. Cotton has not been coming in very rapidly for a few days. Weigher White is in the coti'iti-y shojting birds. New shelving is being put m tne Litaker storeroom that the Vaughans occupied when they run the candy store. Most all of the pushing boys of Concord have decided to stay in the old North State, and the best part of it, too, Concord. What has become of the moun tain apple wagons. Apples have crawled away up younder in price, and are scarce at that. Not a few loose rocks have again gotten into the streets. We don't know where they come from, but we know where they ought to go. The poor old turkey, that passed safely through the dangerous time of Thanksgiving, caught Hail Columbia the last week. From the amount cf rod paper scattered over the street, any one would suppose that lire crackers had been popped around here. Mr. Isect, son-in-law o. the late Mrs. Ileilig, is here, and will make some disposition of her property. He lives in Chelute, Kansas. Every boy we have seen has his face besmeared with candy, and some of those who are not children have candy on their faces, too. Only two prisoners are now con fined in the jail. At last court they weie almost completely eliminated and have not had time to fill up since. Before another year rolls by Con cord will have paved streets, and then she will be far ahead of any other town of its size in the State. Mark this. Johnnie Correll has grown tired of the hurry and worry of business life and has sold his entire stack of confectioneries and groceries to W. S. Bingham. Sunday was fearfully cold and everybody staid by the tire, but the weather has become warmer, and to day has b-en pleasant throughout the Southern State-:. At a recent congregational meet ing of the Second Presbyterian church. Charlotte, it was decided to keep all the church property and not sell riff any of it. A considerable amount of wood is being hauled into town now. Most of it conies from the new clearings, where people would rather clear land than to improve their old land. F'armers should see to it that they plant more coin and make more meat the next year than they ever did before. They would then need to have no fears of a money panic. Mr. Dan D. Ilarwood, who has been cm i loved for one year in Swink's store, has returned to his boyhood home in Stanly, and will be engaged for t he next year iu farm work. Morrison, Lenta it Co. will move into the store room lately occup ed by Bell & Sims, Agents, on next Wednesday. This enterprising tirm has just made a shipment of goods to California. A prominent citizen suggested, as a competing line, a canal from here t deep water. Wait a while! That a competing line will come, is by no means a very distant affair. The fat is already in the pan, and a-frying. J In many places the bridal wreaths are blooming, and the candle sticks and March llowers are put ling up their buds to bloom. In many other things we see that which speaks well for our glorious climate. The squall of chickens in every direction certainly would indicate that a good many of them were being assassinated for a great, feast. We can hear the squill all around us, and every time we turn our head we can see tlie feathers flying. We know that Concord is on a gooil substantial boom, because the business men who are here have no notion of leaving, and it is hard to make room for tne ever increasing number who flock in to make their homes among us. We hear of a disease among the horses in the country that seems to be fatal. Last night Messrs. D. II. McEachern and San iy Cress had two ilne horses to die. They ap peared to be well last night and ate as well as usual, and this morning bot h were dead. From the Kaleigh Christian Advo cate it is learned that Rev. W. G. Campbell, pastor of the Lutheran church here, will deliver lectures at Trinity College during the next term, on Yolapnk. Mr. Campbell is well up on the language, as he can speak it quite well. All the papers in the State report lots of marriages, except the Salis bury'papers, and they tell their boys to "get a move on 'em." We just expect some of the Concord boys to go up there some of these times and wake 'em up by taking off some of the girls. Dr. S. L. Montgomery, of Monroe, has moved to Concord and formed a copartnership with Dr. Lilly. Here after the firm will be known as Drs. Lilly & Montgomery, and they re spectfully solicit a share of public patronage. They hang a shingle m the Standard tomorrow. in i m iiimmuunj-iBj This morning was rainy and dis agreeable. The Standard wishes all a happy New Year. Mrs. Myrtie Page left for her home in Pockingham. Mr. S. J. Isett left at noon for his home in Chanute, Kansas. Mrs. T. C. Strieker is quite sick, but is now improving slowly. Mr. Jake Eiird left Wednesday evening for the Hind Quarters of the globe. John C. Leslie, of Charlotte, was over last night shaking hands with his friends. Miss Jennie Patterson, of China Grove, is visiting her brother, John K. Patterson. Our word for it some of the mud diest places in the State may be found right here in Concord. Mr. M. D. Suther, who a short time ago moved to Mountain Island, has returned to the Odell Mills. A party of invited guests spent a delightful evening at the residence of J. F. Willeford Wednesday. A young married man says of his dear little baby: "She does one of three things all the time eat, sleep or cry." We made a mistake yesterday in speaking of the lecture by liev. Dr. Bays. It will be Friday night. Pe member that now. Misses Bessie Gibson and Nannie Cannon, and Mr. Ed Gibson accom panied Mr. and Mrs. Jno. D. Ilatchett as far as Charlotte. A meeting of the W. C. T. U. is called at Mrs. Craven's on Saturday afternoon at three o'clock. A full attendance is requested by the presi dent. Miss EttaPharr has assumed con trol of the ladies' department at cannons & Fetzer's. With a little experience she will feel perfectly at home. Dr. W. C. Houston, who has been spending Nmas holidays with rela tives and friends in Monroe, X. C, returned Wednesday evening. He looks well, indeed. It is said that an army of hunters are killing up the partridges around China Grove, and shipping them north. Ain't tha. wrong, and couldn't the Dart find something to do there ? A. J. Y'orke, the popular hat drummer, left for a long trip on the road today. John Yorke has ac cepted a position with a northern shirt house and the two brothers will travel together. A correspondent from Eastfield says that if there are any people over here who like rabbit meat, to tell them to come over to that neigh borhood. He talks like they are about to devour tilings. During Christmas 'Squire Jesse Willeford was frequently called upon to tie a knot of life-long binding. He enjoys the work, but has had to do so much of it, all in a rush, too, that he is now pretty hoarse. Died, of membraneous croup, on the 2Uth of December, 1890, Susan Elsie, daughter of Rev. C. B. and M. E. Heller, aged thsev years, two months and twenty-s -vea days. A large congregation attended the funeral. See the professional card of Drs Lilly & Montgomery. Dr. Lilly is w ell and favorably known here ; Dr. Montgomery is late from Monroe, where his success as a physician and bearing as a perfect gentleman are highly spoken of by the Monroe Register, and by resolutions passed by the medical board of Monroe. It is a strong medical firm. IIii!-li'-ilon. The Pi-t sbyterian church was brilliantly lighted and beautifully decorated Wednesday night. It was made so preparatory to the marriage of Mr. John I). Ilatchett, of Mem phis, Tenn., and Miss Jenuie Gibson, one of Concord's fairest daughters Everything iiad been arranged and a crowded house was anxiously waiting for the arrival of the bridal party. At about half past eight they ariived, and the ushers, Messrs. B. E. Harris, Frank Smith, Gowan Dusenbury and Jno. C. Leslie, fol lowed by the attendants, Misses Esther Erwin, Nannie Cannon, Grace Gibson and Bessie Gibson, marched up the aisles to the pulpit, the attendants takiug their places on each side of the pulpit. They were followed by the bridal couple, the groom being accompanied by Jones York, and the bride by her brother, Ed Gibson. Rev. Mr. Payne officiated and Prof. Robt. Keisler furnished the music. After the marriage ceremony had been performed the bridal couple and invited guests repaired to the residence of the bride's mother, on Main Street, where they were enter tained in royal style. The happy couple left on the noon train for an extensive southern tour. Sew Year's Number. Very dainty and graceful in design is the cover of The Double New Year's Number of "The Youth's Companion," in its shades of red and brown. Inside we 4ind a new Serial Story, entitled "Kent Hamp den," by that delightful writer, Rebecca Harding Davis, and in ad dition there are five short stories, well illustrated, besides poems and articles of popular information, to suit all tastes and ages. A notable article by Professor Shaler, of Har vard University, on the Earth, is the first iu a series of articles on Recent Discoveries in Science, 0 be written by the most eminent living scientists. Read ing such a number a3 this, it is easy to understand why "The Compan ion" has gainei the largest circula tion of any weekly paper in the world. All its stories appeal in the widest way to human sympathy, and are calculated to please not only young people, but their elders as well. That such a paper, so beauti fully illustrated, and written by the most eminent of living authors, can be sold for $1.75 a year, is really marvellous. 190 IS DTIXG. The Oil and Wotil About Consnmrd..

They are ours; the year has done its part, and done it well. . January Is4-, 1891, the beginning of the New Year, will bring bright ness, cheer and good hopes to some firesides; into other homes will enter, from ill luck and other causes, the grim old monster of sadness and sorrow and possibly dismay let us hope for few such cases ! To all our readers, the Standard wishes a happy New Year ; and for none the Standard has ill will, but for all a bountiful year is desired. 1890 is dying; take down the naught and write in 1.

A Standard reporter was curious to see how the preachers and inagis trates fared in these ' knot-tyings." A hasty perusal of the reports shows that Rev- T. W- Smith offi ciated at 10 marriage ceremonies; RrfV. Payne, 5; Rev. Blair, 6; Rev. Campbell, 5; Rev. Page, 1; Rev. Trexlar, 1; Rev. Newton, 1; Rev Gil land, 2; Rev. Arrowood, 5; Rev. . H.

But not satisfied with the arrangements which for merly existed, the" executive com mittee have determined to make it still more attractive and comfort able. To do this they have employ ed Mr. II.

THE WAY OF IT. IMain Jim Cook, of Concord, tiet 5Iad About lliiuNelf. Because we refuse to jrrant Con cord a charter for an Old Bachelor's Club, Plain Jim Cook has this to say : There are only a few bachelors in Concord, aDd they are too respect able to join any wild scheme that prevents a man from enjoying the felicitous presence and inspiring in- uueaces ot our many noble girls. It is true that there arc tiro or three bachelors here who want to marry "miguty bad" but can't get any one to have them ; but even they are too nigli-toned to swear off from trials towards matrimonial bliss. Keep your charter, Grand Mogul of the Bachelors' Club Concord is too progressive a town to even tolerate such a curse as a bachelors' club ! But Plain Jim Cook will live on forever in his single wretchedness. Durham Globe. It is settled that Concord gets no Bachelors' Club, and it is well known that none is wanted. But Al. Fair brother must be dethroned for his use of his office to gratify personal likes and dislikes ; at any rate, if he ever darkens the door of this shanty with his appearance he'll see the floor wiped up with his two-year-old clothes. THE GREAT CiROWIXO SOUTH. Xo Booming or Abnormal Develop. mcntA Year of Activity. Baltimore, December 29. T h o Manufacturers' Itecord publishes in this week's issue its annual review of the industrial progress of the South for 1890, showing great ac tivity and prosperity throughout that section. The total assessed value of property for 1890 is nearly $4,500,000,000, a gain of S270, 000,000 over 1880, and of $1,600,000,000 over 1880. The past twelve months have been a period of unprecedented activity in every department of industrial and commercial enterprise in the South. Every factor in business re flects the general activity. The rail roads have been crowded with freight beyond their capacity, the banks have transacted an enor mously increased volume of business and have earned handsome returns upon their capital. Agricultural and manufactured pioducts have been put forth in great quantity and there has been a tremendous flow of capi tal from every direction to the South seeking investment. The past year has not been one of booming nor abnormal development; but it has been essentially a period of steady growth upon solid foundations- The South has been put to severe tests duriDg the past year, but it has stood them all without strain or in jur3 and stands them in the eyes of the world better than ever before An abundance of everything that the fields, the forests, or the facto ries, yield has given the South am ple resources with which to stand all strains aud to meet all demands. IX 5IE5IOIIIA5I. Whereas in the providence of God, whom we love and serve, it has fallen to our sad lot to hare two of the elders of our Tri dty congregation removed from us by the hand of death towit: Asa Bost on the 25th and C. M. Wicecoff on the 28th of December, 1890; and whereas the former has so acceptably filled an office for thirty years; and whereas the latter leaves a wife and small children ; and whereas we have never before been called upon to bear such bereavement; therefore liesolved 1. That we as pastor aud surviving church council feel keenly the stroke of affliction which has taken away two councillors from Our number. 2. That as a congregation we bow in humble submission to this will of God who inaketh all things to work together for good to those who love the Lord. 3. That we hereby express our deepest sympathy for the children of Bro- Bost and for the widow and children of Bro. Winecoff in this their sad bereavement- 4.
