Tery much pleased to note
the improvements in the way
of bouseouilding and street
making in and around the
city. I took a stroll all alone
not tong since and saw that
the homes of our banker, D
!jj 'Ooltrane, and our hard
ware nftra. J C "Wadsworth, had
been completed. They show up to
a good advantage and are of the
model kind. The next new build-
ins that came to my view was the
house of Mr. D II Hoover, which is
in the hands of the carpenters. J t
will be quite a handsome structure.
As my legs were stiff from the want
lot exercise, and as things grew more
interesting, I meandered through
the new street that runs from nortn
Main to Cannons factory. It will
not be amiss to Btate that the au
thoritiea did a good job when they
opened up this street that is not
only a necessary convenience, bv( a
very jggtty drive. At the factory
1 found several new buildings
eoing up. From this clattering,
hustling and buzzing enterprise I

to take a sneak on account .of rain,
but the.game will be continued when
rain drops fall gentlier and the
clouda are not so threatening. I
congratulate Concord and her en
terprising citizens in their move in
this direction. It has been said
thet we have more pretty residences
and that our little city had the
steadiest growth and more vim and
push and the most cordial citizen'
of any town in the State, considers
irg our population and railroad ins
conveniences.
Ir. W H Lilly is also erectixg a
substantial office building in his
yard. The man that mixed the mud
had his morter box arranged very
conveniently on the sidewalk. A
pair young lady and gentleman, of
the star-gazing kind were walking
down that street, and being so ab-
sorded in conversation they stum
bled agaisnt the box, fell in the
mortar, and had it not been for the
timely aid of one of my friends who
was near by, something serious
might have resulted. As it was, a
air of white ducks were spoiled
nd a thia slipper and two fury
white bands and a fan were messed
op with line and sand.
Korner regrets to see the basket
picnic season nearing and end, but
with the campaign j and the county

my mind is easy over the morsel

Thursday evening abont 5 o'clock,
the people in and aronnd Cannon's
factory were excited no little, and
the occasion was of a nature that it
was natural they should be. The
crank shaft that works the piston
rod in the cylinder broke and by
doing bo, caused a general rupture
in the machinery in the engine room,
Both cylinder heads blew out, break
ing bolts, cogs wheels, pins and tears
ing things to pieces in general.
It waa almost a miracle that no
one was hurt. .Engineer Jiiackwel
der waa working with the machinery
when the blow-out occurred, but
escaped unhurt. He sars there was
a scatteration of things, and pieces
of machinery whistling all aroand
him.
The breaking np of the machinery
in the engine room did not effect any
of the working machinery in the
mills, only that it will be impossible
to repair damages within a week.
The mills will stand idle and the
operatives will enjoy a recess, even
though an accident brought about
the sudden and unexpected stop.
Superintendent Duval says the
damage to the machinery will not
exceed $400 or $500 ""
