CONCORD, DEC. 31, 1895. THE YEAR IS DUKE. How time does flj! It seems but a while since we, sitting at the very J same place, wrote some parting re marks to 18&4. Now here it is 1895, abort spent, never to return. There is a sadness about the part ing year. WhyTshould we jubilate over its death? If it wa3 bad with you why should you not wish to change the bad to good before the year diee; if ii was good with you why should you not desire it to re m&hi longer' that you could make I he good bet ter and accomplish more. ho, it is sad to part with an acs q'lam'ance foreyer if he proves at a! 1 endurable. Why 'then glory over h eternal parting ef a known and g light-hearted and full of joy into tLo unknown. ve Know wnat ibJo is many have proapered ; many haye suffered, bat there is not one who can say tLaL it could not have been worse, or that Gcd did not besto'w upon him many a bleesingand show him many a mercy, undeserved and unappre ciated. - With u3 as a town and county, blessings have been showered npon tbe people aa never before. " The county people have been happy, or ougl : to -have been, with peace, pleat :cb health; in Concord evi dence or growth and improvements haye multiplied as the days went by. The health has been better than common. And right here some of v 8 pause as the thought comes with is burden of sadness, but not with out submission, that there is a misa iug oce seme loyed one has gone before us to the Beyond. II might U bard to understand why the All -ru?ing Hand has taken this father or mother, this sister or brother, or per chance that little innocent child -plucked it from its parent-stem, as it were, and transplanted it in a blime into which our eyes refuse to see or vhich our minds fail to un derstand with that certainty and knowledge of its surroundings that make solemn thoughts and wonder - ings unnecessary. But God does the Iiesthis ways aro just and right. Let net this make us sad. Spaco proves Inadequate when we are a .unit to enumerate the pre gressive strides here in our. town. We can not attempt itr But all the way down as far as we can see, we see improvements. No eye can fanthom 1896; It is gratifying to know and to feel that prospects are bright, inviting. This is more than we had at the begin . ning of 1 895, and much more - than we had at ti e beginning of 1894. Let u s ail do our duty ju 1896: let there be no strife, but may a peacef ul cooperation abound when j matters nf RommoQ eood are under consideration, Let us all remember that the Lord helps those who try to help themselves. Honor to whom honor " is due : When we come to realize how well hundreds and hundreds of our people have fared in holding re numeratiye work , and indirectly every interest of the ''town has been aided, we can not forbear from wishing for more Odells and Cannons. The Standard regards them absolutely indispensable to the town's best interests. They have built wisely may 1896 be as profit able to them as the years gone. Senator Harris stuck Epurs u Senator Butler, on Monday. What was thought, np . to that time, an ins nocent kind of a thing, flew into a great sweeping rage and spit fire un til the whole Senate chamber was ablttz? with a gar illumination. Might as well twist a cat's tail as to tWift Senator Butler's, She Why does a woman take a man's name when she gets married ? He- -Wfiy does she take every thing else he's got ? New York Truth. A resolution is not worth a con tinental' unless there is a little doing mixed with it. A Excellent Record. The big rush of travel for Atlanta that has been going on day and night since tha Exposition opened, is now oyer, and railroad trafha will sub side to its' normal volume. Itiz rea sonable to expect that the" trains will now be able to make their regu lar schedules. People who have not given the matter much thought, have no idea of the strain and ten sion under which the railroad men have worked for oyer three months past, and it has been particularly severe upon the men in the Charlotte office, for the trains from the main lin e and all the branches were gathered in their hands andrun over their stem between Charlotte and Atlanta. In addition to the regular and extra passenger trains, they have had freight trains at almost every siding to moye, and with but a sin gle line of track and no extra side lines, they haye managed ths trains with singular skill and ability. There has not been an accident to a passenger train. In all this great and rushing traffic, the railroad has lost but two men, Conductor Hunt and Engineer Curlee, and in neither case was the road to biame. In not a single instance is it found that the men who direct the running of the trains made a mistake. The system of train dispatching has been well- nigh perfect, and it is a credit to the management of the Southern. Charlotte News. Big Fire at Bennettsvlllec Chablestoit, 8, C. Dec. 29. A special to the News and Courier from Bennetteyille says ; Inst night at 1 o'clock fire broke out, this time totally consuming the Rogers hotel with half its contents, Mra. L Leggs store and entire contents, " Mr. John S Moor's furniture store and con tents, Mr. Jno. Douglass' drug store and nine- tenth of the contents and damaging the stocks i J H Mitchell and George W Wad- dill, general merchandise, fully oae- half. About coyered by insurance, except Mrs. Rogers, who had no in eurance. Loss on stocks and build ings about $20,00. N. CVR. K. Charter. I " cv Every one to his notion, is about what the old womarrsaid when she kissed the cow, but it strikes us that ab ut the biggest fool - notion we Jtirtve ever heard of is the effort to couiprf The North Carolina Railroad to forfeit its charter. . If Butler should be successful the State would not only be a big loser, but private stockholders also, where as the Sou thern Kail way people wi uld probably be better eff in - tne long run than they are now, fcr if the charter is forfeited and the road is placed in the hands of a -receiver this company could likely buy t! e whole business at less than what the lease is costing. . ; But we adhere to the belief th it application to the Attorney General was made with the idea that he would nfuse. hus making an issue for next year's campaign. We can't belieye that even Butler wants to see the State's inteiests complete y wrecked. The matter is to come before the Supreme Court, elected by Butler and his crowdand it they should m - decide against him be would thin haye to slui; up and get off the track. v The whole thing is aboutfas foolish a piece of business as w have eer heard of.
