Monroe Journal. [ Forty years ago Mr. T. P. Dillon 1 and a big laugh over a story in a i newspaper. He laughed so much at it that he thought it would be good to lay away, which he did. He haa ! come across it again and gives it to I The Journal readers as it went the rounds way back there. It follows: One of the most laughable stories of a bovine kind that has ever tickled | the ribs of the “only animal that laughs,” is the one in which Mike : Finck describes his ride in the “nat ■ nral state,” on Deacon Smith's Tau rus. We defy a cynie, in fashionable trousers, to read it and not burst a button or two off the places to which suspenders are hitched. It is simply enormous. Mike took a notion to go in swim ming. and he had just got his clothes | off. when he saw Deacon Smith's bull making at him. The bull was a v:c --i ions animal, and had come very near killing two or three persons conse , quently Mike felt rather "jubus.” He didn't want to call for help for he was naked, and the nearest place from which help could arrive was the ineeting-house. which was at the time tilled with worshippers, among whom was the "gal Mike was paying devo tion to." So he dodged the bull as the animal came at him. and managed to eateh him by the tail. He was dragged around tilt he was j nearly dead, and when he thought he could hold on on longer, he made up j his mind that he'd better “holler.” And now we will let him tell his own i story. j “So looking at the matter in all its i bearings. I cum to the conclusion that I'd better let some one know whar \ I wus. So I gin a yell louder than a locomotive whistle, and it wasn't i long before I sets! the deacon's two i dogs coming down like as if they war ! seeing which could git ther fust. ! “I knowed who they war arter— they'd jine the bull agin me. 'So,' sez •I. ’old brindle. as ridiu - is as cheap as walkin' on this route, if you have no objections. I'll just take a deck pas sage on that ar' back o' yotirn'. So I warn't very long getting astride of him. “Then, if you'd been thar. you’d have sworn thar war nothing human in that ar mix. the sile flew so orful ly, as the critter and I rolled round the field—one dog on one side and one on the other, trying to climb my feet. “I prayed and cussed, until I could not tell which I did last—and neith er warn't of no use. they were so or fui mixed up. “Well, I reckon I rid about a half an hour this way, when old brindle thought it war time to stop to take in a supply o’ wind and cool off a lit tle. So when he got round to a tree that stood there, he naturally halted so sez I, boy. you'll lose one passenger sartin. So I jes cinm up a branch, kalkalatin to roost till I starved afore I be rid around that ar way any longer. “I war makin tracks for the top of the tree, when I heard sumthin' mak in’ an orful buzzin overhead. I k;nd cr looked, and if there wasn’t—well, thar's no use swearin'—but it war the biggest hornet’s nest ever bilt. I You'll 'gin in’ now I reckon, Mike, ■ 'cause thar's no help for you. j “But an idea struck me then that I ! stood a heap better chance a ridin’ the bull than whar I was. Sez I, | old fellow, if you'll hold on I’ll ride i to the next station, anyhow, let that be whar it will. “So I just dropped about him agin, and looked aloft to see what I had gained by changin' quarters, and gen tlemen. I am a liar if thar warn't nigh half a bushel of the stingin’ varments ready to pitch into me when the word *go’ was gin. I Well, I reckon they got it, for all j hands' started for our company. Some of them hit the dogs—about a quart struck me, and the rest charged on brindle. “This time the dogs led off fust, dead bent for the old deacon’s and as soon as old brindle and I could get under way we followed and us I was only a deck passenger. I had nothin' to do with steering the craf: if I had we shouldn't have run that channel anyway. “But, as I sed before, the dogs took the lead—brindle and I next and the hornets directly arter. The dogs yell in'—brindle hollerin' and liornets buz zin’ and stingn.’ “Well, we had got about two hun dred yards from the house, and 1 the deacon heard us and come out. I seed him hold up his hands and turn white. I reckon he was prayin’ then for he didn’t expect to be called for so soon, and it warn’t long neither afore the whole congregation—men, women and children—cum out, and then all hands went to yellin'. "None of them had the fust notion that brindle and I belonged to this world. I just turned my head and passed the whole congregation. I seed the run would be up soon, for brindle couldn't turn an inch from a fence that stood dead ahead. “Well, we reached that fence, and I went ashore over the critter's head, landing on the other side, and lay thar stunned. “It warn’t long afore some of them as was not scared, ram runnin’ to Bee whar I war; for all hands kalkerlated that the hull and I belonged together. But when brindle walked off by him self they seed how ft war, and one of them said: “Mike Finck has got the scummage once in his life.” “Gentlemen, from that day I quit the oonrting business, and never spoke to a gal since, and when my hunt is up upon this yearth, thar won't be any Fincks, and its all owin’ to Deacon Smith’s brindle hull.” Sara Sign, 4 Sunday School Teacher—What was Adam made of?

Faith is a little town incorporated six miles south of Salisbury on the Mount Pleasant big road and has ■ about five hundred inhabitants. .John D, A. Fisher is mayor. Faith has five stores, one drug store, one doctor, one barbershop, electric lights, tele phones, two automobile repair shops with electric power, one furniture stores, one eating saloon, one Baptist Church, one Lutheran church, one Reformed church, one building belong ing to the Jr. O. U. A. M„ where they have their meetings, and other lodges also meet there. Faith has some traveling salesmen who have beautiful homes here in Faith, and they do a good business traveling for the wholesale houses. Faith has a number of paving block makers who make their home here with their fam ilies. Seme have located here from other countries because they can find work all the year round and plenty of it. The best thing Faith has is thd large number of fine granite quar ries all around the town and several right in the town. Faith is about the center of the great granite belt of North Carolina known all over the I nited States for its beautiful white and light grey and pink granite and is one of the greatest places in the world to get street curbing and pav ing blocks and crushed stone and building stones and granite shipped in the rough for building purposes brings more money into this section of Rowan county than any one has any idea of. About thirty-five years ago there was nothing going on. Old man Esquire E. E. Phillips got out the old-time large heavy millstones and made his living at that business. J. T. Wyatt came to the community and taught subscription school and boarded among the scholars and got acquainted with the family of Esquire E. E. Phillips and married his oldest daughter, a pretty girl that Weighed about 250 pounds, and at the death of E. E. Phillips J. T. Wyatt bought the quarry and tools and he started up the granite industry here by ship ping off the very first solid carload of granite that ever left this section of the country. This granite de posit in Rowan county had been lay ing idle here for thousands of years. Yes, perhaps, for many millions of years and J. T. Wyatt was the lucky man to find a market and put ft on the market of the forld. From the very day he shipped his first carload the industry has never stopped a moment but increased year by year until now every one knews that there are hundreds of quarries, large and small, being operated all the year round from near the Yadkin River to near Concord. J. T. Wyatt, who started up this great industry ought to have a free pus over the line of the Southern railroad the balance of hi* life because this industry that be started ha* caused the company to make thousands upon thousands of 'a' * THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE dollars annually hauling off the gran ite from the granite belt and for that reason they ought to give J. T. Wyatt a free pass and take good care of him the balance of his life which will not be long as he is now nearly 75 year | old and the oldest man now living in I the town of Faith, and he makes that | celebrated eczema cure that you read about in the papers. J. T. Wyatt has lived to see several of his appren tice boys grow up and get married and ! settled off and now many of them are' granite quarry operators and contrac-1 tors and doing fine business and own I beautiful homes here in the town of Faith. If J. T. Wyatt should live! to be one hundred years old he will j see that the granite industry that he started here is one of the biggest in dustries of the kind in the world. J. ' T. Wyatt and the eitizens agreed and [ named our town Faith and it is known now as Faith N. C. Mrs. Settie Peeler, matron of Naza reth Orphons’ Home, spent Sunday here with home folks. Sir. F. Lambert and family, of Al bemarle, spent Sunday here with Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Nance. John Andrews, of Davidson College, spent tlie week-end at home here.

A meeting will be, held of the hotel board Tuesday night and probably a just and honor able name will be selected for the new structure. Why not stop the argu ment and call It after Stephen Cabar rus? If the D. A. R. had not wanted it named after Stephen Cabarrus why did they select that name? I see no reason why that it shall not be named after the man who founded Cabarrus county. If the people do not want it named after Stephen Cabarrus or the Hotel Concord, name it after the no ble- worker who practically gave his life in getting funds for the purpose of building Concord a hotel that people would be proud of. I am in favor of naming it after Stephen Cabarrus or Tola D. Uaneas. We wait and «ee what the new structure will lie named, or who it will be named for.
