THURSDAY, JANUARJ895.
THE DEAD OLD THINO
The tear 1894 is done for it is
hustled oft into the honeyard of the
past.
Eighteen hundred and ninety-four
has heat its brains out against the
tide of time. Slowly, sadly, though
surely, its breath was lost in the
struggles, disappointments and eU
fort? of 3G5 days.
But it is no new thing. January
1st 1895 will be just like some pre
ceeding day in time. It's just a way
we hava of eyening up, pulling up
it's getting up one hill to start down
and then up another
It's just a time to make resolutions
to he broken. This reminds us that
some miserable people, with a miser
able life in the rear and the record
of it known to all, think thev. nan
ilate a whole set of resolutions,
eople about them and at once
iome angels in the sight of man.
'he world is used to such white
washed angels. Such great changes
are not made in a moment, in a day,
in a year they come slowly. The
world wants to see the fruit before
it is satisfied of its real color and
quality,
But enough of this we started
but to say that 1894 is done for. And
who cares.
Some people have Jived 3C5 days
in 1894; some 730 days in 1894;
while others have not had as much
as a good full dozen in the whole
year. People don't live alike it's
well they don't, but God pity some
in the way they have to live.
Again, 1S94 will be put in history
as a year of wars, tumults and dis
asters and such things.
Nearly every country has had
trouble, lesser or greater. The
Brazilhan troubles are fresh to the
student of history ; France's presi
dent was assassinated the Czar of
his
JSelves and all along the
merica had her coal strikes; then
the Pullman trouble, after that the
rioting and burning in and around
Chicago, the home of big-footed
women.
We haye had an anarchist, Coxey,
to move with his army of bums,
thieves and anarchists upon Wash
ington, and we have had the 'sad
Bpectacle of men in our own section
applauding the movement of this
colossal eyesore.
" Space will not admit of even a
running glance of the year's doings.
In the Old North State we haye
seen Bights. The tables were turned.
We see honest, sincere citizens, who
helped to redeem the State, uniting
with the authors of our troubles to
overthrow what they themselves
aidecr-ia doing.
In Concord and Cabarrus the year
has been a bountiful one in crops
and health and troubles. Bat all
along there are blessing?, which we
cannot be too thankful for. This
III i 1 1 1 1 1 1 mrwict
kept up her record o
and improvements.
. While the old year will leave its
nnwelcomeand unsightly earmarks,
Ihere is enough to promise us a new
year and events worth living for.
This is no time for sulking in the
camp of life let us all be up and
doing, and may the Good Lord bless
us as has always bean done.
The good we have enjoyed is his
gift the bad is the making of man,
1ITTLE SNAPS.
The Standard admires the pluck
and gift , of Deputy sheriff Hill.
Shooting Brown, was necessary, and
so has such asta been in the past,
"but let us hope it will never again
haye anj part in the campaign.
Eeighleen hundred and ninety
five has started out pretty well,
thank ye! It is winter, all along
the line.
Matrimonially, there is a lull in
the storm; but conld more suitable
weather be had for matrimony ?
- The goat eats up the posters, the

Consider well your will-power be
fore making the annual New Year's
resolution, for resolutions cf this
kind are somewhat like the beauti
ful snow they soon vanish.
Mrs. Cleveland will not give any
time to society this winter, except
at the customary formal receptions
at the White liouss on Eew Year's
day.
The President and Mrs. Cleveland
will hold the time honored reception
from 12 till 2 o'clock. All the
Iadie3 of the cabinet will assist in
receiying the guests, and behind the
line of hostesses there will be a
number of ladies whom Mrs. Cleve
land has specially invited to be
present to entertain those ', guests
whom she may ask to remain in the
Bine Room. The Secretary cf Sttte
and Mrs. Gresham aill entertain

Hoe
1893 IT IS.
Who can see the difference ?
Another year m its you thf ul life is
given to us. As the days move on,
it will, like a rolling snowball, grow
larger and larger, Responsibilities
will increase; carea will continue;
the plot deepen and the record will
become voluminous.
If the signs, written across the
horizon of the coming days, be true,
we may exDect a year of decided im
provement upon that one just closed.
Tariff legislation is dene for and tbe
beneficial results cf the new law,
cerve to make quiet business circles
and to deal out better advantages to
the consumers.
There are rations (pearly) enough
about us for the year without a
great draw upon outside markets.
The health of the county is good
and there are promises of a con
tinuation.
Let us hope that what bitterness
yet remains may be wasted away by
the exercise of charity and brotherly
love. Let us all hope that; that dis
trust and hatred way be obliterated
for the sake of our common good, if
not for indiyidual pleasure.
There are perhaps no reasons for
not believing tha in a business way
1895 will be a great improvement
over 1894. The financial agencies
and all authorities in foretelling
future business, give out hopes for
such a season.
May 1895 live her days and God
grant us all powers to live each day
as will be becoming a brayer gener
ous people.
