The hens are still shelling out, :.. d the market is ladened down with Only six weeks till the mayor's tcction, but where are the canui t'tes? The farmers are busy turning the soil for their corn and cotton crops. The cotton warehouse at the new factory has been weather-boarded with heavy sheet-iron. A magistrate's court was held Monday afternoon before Esquire I nil at the courthouse. The most of i he week has been f;uite cold, and the peach crop is said to be very badly injured. Every family should have county newspaper. Drop in and sub- .-ciibe for the Standard. Would it not be economy to have the wood work of the court-house treated to a coat of paint? The mumps are still holding their own. Several of our school children are nursing them now. O. O. Overcash and Miss Kate Johnston were married in Xo. township on Thursday, 8th instant We wish our friends of the (5 range and Alliance would reports of their proceedings. We would take pleasure in noting them Charlev Ferson, colored, one o our best brick masons, lost two of his children last week. His family lias been very much afflicted this winter. According to the almanac spring i-" about here, but there isn't very much ethereal mildness in it yet, but everybody is looking for the farewel cold snap. Daniel Winecoff, a native of Cabarrus, died in Rowan county on i uc lltli at the advanced age of 1 le moved from our county to Rowan about twenty years ago. e learn that Past Assistant United States Naval Surgeon V. C B. Means has been assigned to duty on board the nag-ship Pensacola o the South Atlantic squadron Lenoir county boasts of five families jointly with 22 boys, and Raleigh claims five with 28 boys. This is nothing. Cabarrus has five families jointly with 29 girls! The average citizen is now look ing about for a pig to put in his pen. When all are supplied the hog examining commiitee will . ' " i i 1 1 organize tor their weekly Sunday visits. John Baxter, colored, of Con cord, who was sentenced two years ago to the penitentiary for a term of years, was pardoned by.Gov. Scales last week and is again at home. One of our merchants says he fcold a citizen a pair of shoe3 the other day for his daughter. The t-hoes Mere number nines. The girl ii fourteen years old, weighs 150 pounds and is six feet three and one half inches tall. Capt. Cook, Esquire McAllister, D. D. Barrier, L. G. Heilig and A. W. Moose, of Mt. Pleasant, and S. J. Pemberton, Syd Ilearn and others of Albemarle, passed through here on Wednesday night to attend the rail road meeting in Charlotte yesterday. M. L. Blackwelder has invented and had patented a cotton gin at tachment that successfully prevents the roll from clogging or choking up. It can be seen at the store of Hoover, Lore & Co., attached to a girof his own make, ready for work. Miss Fannie Fisher will, at an e.'-rly day, commence giving instruc tion in oil painting to a class now being organized. We have seen speci mens of work from her brush, and pronounce them really artistic. Any one wishing to join the class can get terms, &c, by calling on her. The Enquirer and Express says this of Dr. C. A. Misenhimer, of Charlotte, formerly of Pioneer Mills : " lie is a close student, hard worker, and is possessed of a large amount of hard common 6ense." The-doctor is a Cabarrusite, and a son of one of our best citizens, John II. Misenhi mer, Esq. We have seen a letter from W. C. J. Caton, postmarked Philadel phia. He says that editor Wade II. Harris, .of the Charlotte Chronicle, i5 now snow-bound with him there; and he, moreover, verily asserts that we can all tumble to the "Racket" that he'll not get caught going to such a cold country again soon, ex cept in midsummer months. Moonlight nights again. The fertilizer trade is pretty brisk. Next Sunday is the fifth Sab- bath in Lent. The gunner now pokes about after the robin redbreast. Yesterday was the only pleasant day we have had in a week. It is no trouble for any one to eave his mark in the skating rink. The spring chicken is budding, and the spring goods are coming in. The "lamb of March" has gar- donned himself in ments. the lion's The little children are looking forward to the time when thev can go barefooted. One of our farmers, a town resident, was offered forty dollars per acre for his farm this week. Esquire Allison has under con sideration the propriety of working our roads with convict labor. J. M. Caldwell, of Rocky river, has an egg curiosity. It is two duck eggs joined together at the ends by a small cord. Prof. Jno. McAnulty,our weather prophet, says that the failure of the ice crop is due to the eclipse of the moon and sun m January. Now that the bank is a certainty, will not some one move in the matter of a Building and Loan Association ? Don't let the good work stop. A number or our young men and ladies met Monday evening at the residence of Mrs. J. S. Fisher and organized themselves into a dra matic club. Florida, with her semi-tropical climate, is not so far ahead after all. Mrs. M. L. Brown luxuriated on new Irish potatoes Sunday. They grew in the cellar. Peter McCee still caters to the public appetite at his restaurant, and savs he is going to hang out his sign during the whole oyster season. Peter knows how to fix 'em up. Active steps have been taken on the railroad question here, we are reliably informed, and we are also assured that eastern Cabarrus, Stanly and Montgomery will join in for the building of the "Cabarrus, Stanly and Montgomery " road. The house and kitchen of J. C. L. Harris, of the Raleigh Signal, were totally destroyed by fire last Monday. The loss on the property is about $1,500, with no insurance. The Standard tenders its sympathy to the Signal proprietor in his mis fortune. The snow-storm north is the severest ever known, so it is reported. That puts us in mind of a man's assertion some years ago about a severe hail-storm that passed through his neighborhood. He said it came down so hard that it dented the rail road irons. We learn that our friend, II. McNamar, has been approached on the mayorality candidacy. We know one thing, the Mt. Pleasant people say that Mac's energy and interest in keeping up the streets never flagged during his term of office there. But we say this, not yet knowing whether he is a candidate or not. Yesterday we had a visit from our old war comrade, David Harkey, who returned to his State a few months ago after an absence of twelve years prospecting in Arkansas, Texas, Alabama, Mississippi and Georgia. He says he has come to stay, and that North Carolina beats all the Southwestern States he has visited. He showed us some pretty ore from J. C. Watts' place in No. 8 township. There is a poster prominently posted up at the post-office in this place that M. T. Craft, of Lebanon, Ky., has received the contract for carrying the United States mail on route No. 13,332 from Concord to Concord, and that he wants to sub let the same. It would be good for Craft if nobody here would take the job off of his hands, and Congress should so enact that this infamous subletting, star-route business should stop and every contractor fill his oavu agreement with the government. Fertilizers. The many wagons from the sur rounding counties, and especially from Stanly, coming in daily for fertilizers is indicative of the fact that the commercial fertilizers are still popular with the farmers. We learn that the demand for acid phos phate is much greater than the sup ply. It may be interesting to many to know that during the past ten years North Carolina has paid three million dollars for commercial ferti lizers, and her crops have aggregated only fifteen million dollars. A Welcome. Rev. W. R. Brown, of the Ebenezer and Organ churches in South Rowan is expected to return from Rural Retreat, Va., tonight with his bride. An entertainment and reception will be given them at Dr. Siffords to morrow. A anv of his congregation are expected to be present and par ticipate in the welcome. The Stan dahd tenders its best wishes to the happy pair, and the senior editor, as a former resident of Ebenezer neigh borhood, trusts that they may ever find South Rowan a pleasant place to dwell in.. People You Know. Mr. D. Corum Correll has the chills. Rev. W. G. Campbell and wife spent last Sunday in Lexington. 0. A. Black, of the Richmond and Danville road, is at home on a visit. W. C. J.

Peter Glass, our sturdy old Ger man citizen, went over to Uhariotte yesterday. S. R. Schaffer has gone to High Point in the interest of his insurance companies. We regret to learn that Col. T. 1. itobinson s condition is by no means improved. Ed. Wheeler, of Salisbury, spent Saturday and Sunday m town visit ing his brother, Robert S. Wheeler. Rev. Bumpass, pastor of the Meth odist church, we are glad to state, is recovering from a severe attack of rheumatism. Miss Florence Thornwell, daugh ter of Rev. J. II. Thornwell, of Fort Mills, S. C, is visiting at Esquire R. W. Allison's. Mis3 Rosa Harris returned Wed nesday on the noon train from Win ston, where she had been visiting her sister, Mrs. Wilson. W. R. Odell, of the Odell Manu- facturing Company, is now in the the north on business concerning mills at this place. Julius Deaton, son of our towns man, P. S. Deaton, is at home on a visit after a two years' absence. As a typo J ule is perfectly at home. Mrs. Jane Henderson, of Hun tersville, N. C, paid Concord a visit this week. She is a native of Cabar rus, but has not been in Concord for thirty-five years. To-be-sure the place had changed considerable since she saw it last. He'll Get There! A few days ago a colored brother, looking care-worn and pale, and showing signs of a consuming fire within, entered the Register of Deeds office. He had purchased his "papers" a short time before, and on the day set for the knot-tying he betook him self to the home of his affianced, only to hear the awful words : " I'se change me mine." The pleadings and arguments of three hours with the dusky maid availed him nothing. Believing that they forever debarred him from the bliss of matrimonial life, he called on the register to have the " papers " cancelled. When told that he yet had the right to marry, the care-worn and pale face was no more, and the last thing seen as he left the ivories. room was a lovely set of Our Two Springs. Not so very far back in the past the people of Concord would take a grist of corn to a little mill near town. This little mill was known as "Allison's mill," and the waters that turned the heavy old wheel came from two large springs that always were a general Sunday even ing resort for the town people ; but the mill was like that of the gods, it "ground slowly," and the water supply seemed insufficient. But now one of these crystal fountains fur nishes all the water for the business portion of town through retzer s water works ; the other helps to sup ply Forest Hill factory with water, and the surplus from each winds its way to the little old mill, where it is caught in a large tank and then transferred to the new Cannon fac tary, a few feet away, and converted into steam that drives the ponderous engine, keepiug in motion its many carders, spindles and looms. How things have changed ! Death of Mrs. King. About eleven years ago our fellow citizen, luam. rung, was unitea m marriage to Miss Leonora McCombs, of Mecklenburg county, N. C, and brought his wife into our midst a stranger, but her sprightliness, affa bility and amiability soon Avon for her the hearts of all who knew her, and now as death has taken her from us, our entire community is bereaved. For several years her health had been feeble, and for the last three months she declined very rapidly, until last Friday, the 9th instant, about 5 p. m., witn her loved ones and friends weeping around her bed, without a struggle she passed away. She was devotedly pious. In her youth she joined Sugar Creek church, and upon her removal to our town she became a member of the Presby terian church here, in which com munion she died. She was deeply interested in every " good word and work " and devotedly attached to her church. Her long and weary sickness was endured with a cheerful submis sion and lovely patience. Less than an hour before her death she talked to her pastor about the preciousness of the Scriptures and her assurance that her Saviour would be with her unto the end. A large congregation attended her funeral in the Presbyterian church last Sabbath afternoon at 2 o'clock. Her pastor, Rev. C. M. Payne, con ducted the services, feelingly and touchingly paying a high tribute to the many Christian graces of her who has gone from amongst us. We tender to the afflicted family our deepest sympathies. Death of Col. Long. Col. John M. Long breathed his last Friday morning. . For many years he was an active attorney at the courts of this and surrounding counties, hut since the war turned his attention to farming, and resided on his plantation in south Rowan. A few months ago he returned to his old home here, having been partially paralyzed. A second stroke resulted in his death. He was buried in the Presbyterian graveyard. Rev. Mr. Eubanks, of ,the Episcopal church, conducted the funeral services. He was about seventy-two years of age. . . Escape or a Horsethief. On last Tuesday week R. II. Ben son, armed with the requisite papers, captured Bill Ramsey near Dewees', in No. 3 township on the charge of stealing a mule from old man Dewees on the 7th of last December and selling it to a man named Woods above Salisbury. On the plea of implicating a man by the name of Whitley, the officers took Ramsey over the line into Mecklenburg, and the trial did not come off until night, before Esquire Benson. Next morn ing Ramsey stepped out of the house by permit of the officer, and has not yet been heard of. He left the officer in possession of his shoes and over coat. The Cannon Factory. The proprietor showed us around and through the new factory last Saturday from ground floor to tower. The carders and spinners were buz zing along, converting the raw cotton into chain on the first floor. Looms will at once be placed on the second floor. A line of heating and water pipes extend around the whole build ing on each story. The electric lights are quite satisfactory. The upper floor of the tower contains a tank of 10,000 gallons capacity. A track, graded and finished, brings the raw material to be used from the main line of the Richmond and Danville road to the very door. The plaee seems to us the best selection for a factory we have ever seen. To the Democratic Executive Com mittee or Cabareus County : Gentlemen, You are hereby re spectfully asked to meet in my office in Concord on Monday, the 19th in stant, at eleven o'clock, a. m. We respectfully deire (he pres ence of every member, as business of iinprrtance will be considered. C. G. Montgomery, Chairman. The above card in the last issue of the Times, from the chairman of the County Democratic Executive Com mittee, was not offered us for publi cation, but believirg it not yet copy righted, we take pleasure m giving it a place in our columns, as the Standard is devoted to the interests of Democracy (witL a capital D.) We hope that in the future the Standard will be considered a repre sentative of the principles of the grand old party. . Emiorat Agent. Rev. C. C. Petty, colored, called on us Wednesday afternoon and gave us a clear and concise explanation of his work of colonizing a portion of his race on the government lands in California. The work is a laudable one, and Rev. Petty's idea is very praiseworthy. He is a representative of the old-time colored man. Born a slave in North Carolina, he drifted into railroad duty alter the war, and was atone time fireman for Lawery's gravel train on the Richmond and Dauville road. His intelligence and educational ability cannot be doubt ed when it is known that he has been identified with many of the colored institutions around us. As a conver sationalist he is quite interesting. His honesty of purpose to his race is well brought out when he tells them, as colonization agent, that only those who have succeeded here in the South and accumulated suffi cient to start life without embarrass ment are the kind he is looking for as seHlers. But there is just whore we differ with the Reverend. The industrious colored citizen is good labor far superior to Chinese, Hun garians or 1'oles and we prefer mm, At the same time we would not ob iect to his making an endeavor to colonize and improve some of our street corner statuary. MT. PLEASANT ITEMS. Mrs. John Cook, near St. John's, is quite sick. Mr. G. R. P. Miller is making ad ditions to his dwelling. Hubbert Rose boarded Side's mail hack Tuesday for Jackson, Tenn.

A fine girl lays claim to particular attention. Uabies and blackberries, we observe, are sure crops. Died, near Mt. Pleasant, N. C, on March 13th, 1888, Mrs. Sarah Shins poch, aged 73 years and 6 months. Appropriate services were held in the Lutheran church, at this place, today, at 11 o'clock, Rev. S. L. Keller officiating. A number of our business men are absent today (Thursday) attending the railroad meeting in Charlotte. Talk to whom you please and they will say something about railroad. And we are are going to have a rail road, if (the balance you know.) J. THE RAILROAD -EVERY DEL EGATE SATISFIED. ! One of the most satisfactory meet ings ever held in Charlotte was the long anticipated railroad meeting yesterday. The number of counties represented and tho character as well as the size of the delegations were inspiring. Cabarrus, Stanly, Montgomery, Moore, Chatham, Ran dolph, Franklin and Halifax were here in the persons of their best men. The Chamber of Commerce held a regular meeting at its rooms last night. There was a full attendance and an air of business pervaded the body. Every member appeared greatly gratified at the result of the railroad meeting yesterday. Much routine business was transacted and the folio wing resolutions were unan imously adoptei : Resolved, , That the zeal and en thusiasm manifested in the railroad meeting today by the delegates of the counties along the line of the proposed Charlotte and Weldon railway was most encouraging', and leaves us to conclude that the build ing of the road is a certainty. Resolved, That the railroad com mittee of the Chamber of Commerce be authorized to employ a corps of engineers to commence the survey of tne Great Western Air Line Kail way from Charlotte to Weldon. Charlotte Chronicle of today (16th.) i NO. 5 ITEMS. The Alliance is still booming. One of our farmers has planted some corn.

Every one speaks well of Lawson's ability to instruct. Next Wednesday night the Mt. Gilead Debating Society will discuss the question, " Was the Flood Uni versal ?" C. HEILIG'S MILL ITEMS. We are glad to see J. B. Beaver, formerly of Mt. Pleasant, move into our midst. He will take charge of the postoffice at this place. Charles McDonald, a well-known tanner or Uabarrus, made quite an interesting talk in behalf of the Farmers' Alliance at the school-house near Prosperity church and organized an alliance with nineteen members. Orlin Cruse, a prominent young man living near Organ church, closed his school at the Kluttz school-house on the 7th. We heartily congratulate our young friend on his success in the schoolroom, term. it being his first Rev. W. R. Brown, pastor of Or gan and Ebenezer churches, has ex tended his matrimonial wings and blissfully soared for Virginia. We expect him to return soon. We hope the parsonage will be completed by that time. B. P. NO. 10 ITEMS. Miss Jennie Gourley left last week for Chattanooga, Tenn., to visit rela tives. There is a good opening for a doc tor in IS o. 10 if a good one will come. We are not warmed up much in politics yet, but in due time will make it hot for somebody. The farmers are busy preparing for another crop. I fear they will go a little too strong on cotton to the neglect of the grain crop. The general talk now is the Far mer's. Alliance and the railroad from Charlotte to Sandford, and all hope ere long to see the iron horse puffing along through our township.

Capt. J. Frank Erwin has the best wheat in the county. He is a tip-top farmer, and will plant no cotton this year. The Alliance farmers are moving things around lively here. They have had shipped to this place about fifty tons of guano, and say they will make something this year or " bust." It is reported that the depot at this place is soon to be removed to Back Creek church, " Birmingham," where they are soon to have a new town built. It is a good, healthy neighborhood, and is just half way between Charlotte and Concord. H. The Young Men's Christian Asso ciaiion. of Charlotte, is the only one iu the State that has taken pro srressive steps towards building a home of their own. The statement of Congressman Dingley that during his seven years' residence at Washington he has never seen a Congressman under the influence of liquor is very pleas ant information, though somewhat of a surprise. The Boston Travel ler fears Mr. Dingley ia near sighted. STATE NEWS. The majority of the tobacco deal ers and manufacturers at Winston are in favor of the repeal of the to bacco tax.

We pay from taxation in the State for interest on the public debt about $115,000 ; for penal and charitable institutions about $300,000, and for other State expenses about $230,000. So it seems we raise for schools about as much as we do by taxation for all the other expenses of the State put together. "We raise for schools four dollars today to one dollar fifteen years ago.

Greensboro was favored with the novelty of a genuine "strike " Tues day morniner. It was the water works force, a squad of about fifteen negro laborers. The men were at work diersinsr the mammotn well just out ol towD, and had been getting seventy-five cents per day, the usual pay of comuaon laborers here.

This was refused. aad tne wort was stopped and is now at a standstill. FOUND DEAD. Mooeesville, N. C. March 14. Patton Beckham, colored, was found dead on the morniner of the 13th on Deputy Sheriff White's plantation, in Davidson township, about seven miles west of Mooresville, near Ca tawba river.
