It is owned by Messrs. Page and Arey. | We got a fine dinner there. Gilmer Walker waited on Venus. It is at 107 W. Fiaher street. A. R. Hoover and son, A. R., Jr., visited Venus from Coneord on Jan. 24th. They said they read Venus' items in The Coneord Times and Trib une regularly and like them. Whoever has straw or nay to sell baled or loose, write to Venus and tell him the price and where it is and. if they can deliver it at Faith, aim at what price. Direct Venus, Wfcfr, N. C., Route 3. H.

Monday morning, January 25th, at 5 o’clock there was hot a bit of snow on the ground.

It wqb still soft snow, hot a bit of air stirring any where the big anow surprised us it. came so unexpected. We met twin girls mighty pretty at White's store, but they sjould not give us their names. We will give some little girl or boy one dollar if they will write and tell us where we dan buy a lot of old time moulds to mould pewter plates, in tase we buy them. Sure there is a set somewhere in the United States. They were uped before the Revolution ary War by people in this part of the country to make their plates. Address Venus, Salisbury, N. C. ' A family at Kannapolis on North Poplar street, house 834 sent a dollar bill and got a jar of home-made ecze ma cure. If some little girl or boy will write and tell Venus where there is going | to be a sale of household goods we will give them 25 cents in case we go and have not already heard of it. Two little girls have already received 25 ats each for telling Venus of the u and we went and met them m and paid them.

In the programs of opera seasons too ean number on the fingers of one hand the operas in English. “Music generally in America is hampered by this slavish attitude. Piano interpretation is not de oondant cm words and the player i have gone to the navy from North Carolina and who read Venus’ items • on the ships away out on the ocean to I write a nice letter that will do to go j in with our items, like the one that I was in our items a few days ago.

Among the names that have been suggested are “The Hotel Concord” or the Con- Concord Hotel, “The Pioneer Hotel,” • “The Craighead Hotel,” find “The Stephen Cabarrus.” Why not name it after Stephen Cabarrus? In the Tribune of the 23rd one man Bays that Cabarrus ia hard to pronounce. ’ Any man with a second grade educa tion ought to know how to pronounce CABARRUS. Now If the people of Cabarrus do not want to name it after Stephen Cabarrus, why not 1 name it after one of otir lawyers wbo is now dead? This man worked hard during the campaign for building the hotel. Now I ask the people, of Coh -1 cord why not name It after Tola D. Maness. But yet I am still with the 1 people or the Daughters of the Amer ■ ican Revolution and I sincerely hope that the hotel will be named the 1 “Stephen Cabarrus.” i Mr. Charley Carpenter, of Route 3, r formerly of Route 6, was a visitor at the home of Miss Ruth Honeycutt : Sunday evening.
