Every one of them thinks he is going to "gt there." We wish all of our township correspondents would nose arouud and find out how much interest ev ery body will take in the fair, and tell us. The Lutheran parsonage is fast jiearing completion and when finished will be one of the most convenient and substantial dwellings in our town. Rev. J. D. Newton, the pastor of the Baptist congregation, is about ready to let out the contract for r r building the church for his flock.

By reference to The Standard's last issue, the first of the article can be seen. The author of it has nothing but democracy in his make up. We respectfully call the atten tion of pur worthy mayor to the fact that a very ugly and dangerous dead limb on a tree in front of the post office should be removed. No time to lose a single voter.

A. Pitts. Mr. Wils Li taker and Pleasant pless, who are the renters, took us over a portion of the crop. The crop is fine. Com as good as j any average crop and the cotton crop splendid. One field especially attracted our attention. It is an im proved cotton. The seed came from Texas. Every stalk is loaded with large full grown boll-- from bottom to top.

Luther prized him very highly, val uing him at fiftv dollars. It is too soon for our Mt. j Pleasant correspondent to take him self into winter quarters. Stay with us until frost, if you please. Esq. J. F. Willeford deserves much credit for the interest he manifests in the arrangements for the coming reunion of th'Confeds." From the array of goods boxes iu front of the Farmers' store we would imagine they were just going to please everybody with a full line of goods. Some one has asked "What is good for chills ?" we reply : Put on a pair of copperas colored breeches, eat three yellow cucumbers and lie in the sun. We are pleased to note that our young friend, L. Campbell Caldwell, of States ville, as elector in our neighboring district, is making a fine record as a campaign speaker. We are in receipt of a card of invitation to the annual exhibit of the Catawba Fair Association for Trlitvh tttj irturii tUmiho. Vabnii no will be represented.

Patterson's hotel seems to be quite popular. His guests are under many obligations to the coun ty for giving them such a kind hearted host. These birds ought to be on the road filling up some of the holes. The Concord and Forest Hill base ball nines had auother set to Saturday afternoon. The lateness cf the hour prevented a full game being played. The score, when the game was called, stood 20 to C in favor of the Forest Hill boys. The thoughtful woman has an eye to the comforts needed during the winter months. She is consult ing fashion magazines and books for the latest cut in dress arrangement. Deliver us, please, from any more V shape necks for winter. On last Sunday morning a drunken negro raised the citizens of Spring street, both white and color ed, from their rest by hard driving and whooping and hallowing. Such eondvet is a shame and a disgrace. If Is a pity that the good colored cit zen, who searched the town over next morning, did not find him. No lack of night singers now. The comf ounded, intrusive,low-li ved and long-billed son of stagnated water mosquito keeps up his fa miliar song around the innocent sleeper and pops his lance, with a "zip," into some uncorered foot, and away goes the foot-board. Mr, J. C. Fink has a regular campaign stick. The fowl part of it is on top, that is, the head of the cane is a fowl's head ; but at the same time it is a Walker's stick. In other words it helps a Fowle man to walk. As for the owner's Democra cy, he will help "walk her" along till November, although he is a staunch local option advocate. Miss Sechrist, of Hagerstown, Md., who has accepted the position of art teacher in Concord Female J Academy, arrived today. The peo pie of Concord should congratulate Ait .1 inemseives on securing tne services of this talented lady, and it is hoped that the art department will be liberally encouraged.

The North Carolina colored In dustrial Fair Association w ill open in Raleigh on September 54th. At the last annual fair Cabarrus was at the head of the list iu exhibits ; and we hope again to sav that our color ed people carry off the palm for suc cessful farming. W. C. Coleman, the President, is a native of our county and does every thuig possible for the advancement of his race. When you visit the Fair grounds von will see a mere bov act iug as engineer and surveyor of the race track. Master Quint Smith, alter unij a niontus C0iir3C in surveying under Prof. Cook, has been managing this piece of work with the judgment and skill of an older head. We are proud of his success, as one of Concord's rising young men. . Xrw Poxtoflire. Cabarrus now has a new post office in the North eastern part of the county, near Prosperity church. It is called Rimers. These people have long needed an office and this need has debarred them from taking newspapers, they being so very far from any point of delivery. We congratulate them ou the success of their petition. A Fair Notice. We are in receipt of a postal from Voils Bros., Mooresville N. C, com plaining that they do not receive The Standard. Every package from this office is carefully counted and mailed. We have had many complaints of this sort from many offices, and by letter we have reme died it. We know we mail to every subscriber and hereafter will ferret out the defective postal agent. It has been business with us to build up Tjie Standard and we intend that those who have upheld us shall have what thev have hon estly paid for. . A Qace, One day this week Mr Charley Correll saw a little negro steal a watch from his case. When spoken to he started on a run, closely fol lowed by the Correll Bro's., out through the back lots and around by Corl's livery stable. The Correll Brothers by this time were com pletely fagged out, and the little rogue would have got away had not Mr corl jumped on a horse and overhauled him. It was then found that he had thrown the watch down in Cannon's back lot. Proceedings or IlarrlsbarK Demo cratic Club.

The first bale of new cotton was brought to Concord last Saturday, by Esqr. M. A. Ludwig, aud was purchased by Mr. D. F. Cannon. The price. paid was 10c per pouud. It has for years been "nip and tuck" between Esqr. Ludwig and Mr. J. II. Morrison, who should bring in the first bale of couuty cotton. This year Mr. Ludwig won. Died. Near Johnston Station, Texas, Mr. Peter Goodman, a native of Ca barrus county, aged about 44 years. From his brother, Mr. M. L. Good man, we learn that the deceased and Jerry Misenheimer, also from Ca barrus, were in some way scuffling, and Misenheimer bit him in the hand. Gangrene set in and the hand was amputated. Afterwards his arm was taken off but this failed to arrest the disease. Mr. Goodman has many relatives in Cabarrus. Springville Iots. Crops are not very good in thu section, which is due to the dry sea son. We think Mrs. E. M. Holdbrooks is convalescing slowly. Politics are getting warmer in and around Springsvill5.

They are as good men as we can get, and more, they are better prepared to at tend to their business than ever be fore. We will soon hear the cotton soug as cotton is beginning to open. S. The Cannon Factor. A notion popped into our head this week that We ought to go down to the Cannon factory again, bo we weut. The obliging foreman, J. D. Bacon, put himself to the trouble to show tis round and answer all our questions ; so he started us at the mixing room, where- the cotton is first started through. Here it is run through two lappers and then goes to the cards, (the factory has 32 carders, and four railway heads in this department). From thence it goes to the drawing frames, of which there is six. Then it goes to the slubbers, two in number; then to the speeders, 4 in number. Next we come to 20 spinning frames, which has 2S0 spind.'es, all going around in a rapid whirl. From thence we follow it to the speeding frame, and then to two spoolers of the very latest improved pattern. Again we start and follow this same cotton to two warpers, and then to a large cylinder slasher, where it is sized and prepared for the looms ; through these it is rapidly turned into cloth, then passes to a dressing machine and then through the cloth folder. It is then pressed aud baled and sent North. The factory is now fully equipped, having all nec essary machinery to keep the 130 looms constantly busy. The whole factory is lighted up with electric lights. A fire pump is in readiness for any emergency and the water piping runs all over the building. A Morse elevatoi does the lifting and lowering from story to story. The engine that keeps all this ma chinery in motion is a perfect daisy, and the continual swish, swish of its heavy 'arm makes one dizzy. Much improvement has been mad? since our last visit. The storehouse is a tip top building. Nine new houses have been put up for the operatives. The whole thing is under the immediate supervision of Mr. J. W. Cannon. Mr. J. D Bacon is superintendent of the card ing room, Mr. W. E. Bacon, of the Spinning department, aud Mr. C. F. Coble of the weaving. They are good factory men, and accommodat ing gentleman. "It Get There. We are glad to know that, although the Iliwaiian Islands are a "long way off," The Standard "gets there all the same." We learn this from a private letter. Cabarrus' honored son, Surgeou V. C. B. Means, has the best wishes of The Standard on his voyage. We will soon change liij pajfri to Yokuhuiiiti, Japan" May he have a safe return from this far awav laud. A Card Editors of The Standard: Please do me the favor to give me space iu your paper to correct a false impression that has gone out among the people concerning an article in connection with my circular, which was published in last week's Signal, a Republican paper published in Raleigh. When informed of it I was never more astonished , and immediately took steps to find out who had done me the injustice to publish the article (if it is a reflec tion on my competitor) and my cir cular. Mr. J. W. Mehaffy informed me that he had written the article, and having to use a thin envelope took one of. my circulars to wrap around the article for better protec tion, not intending that the circular should be printed in connection with his article The circular and article was published withont my consent ; and I beg the public not to attach any blame to me for the pub lication in the Signal, as I believe they will not when they know the truth. It is my wish to be elected to the office of Register of Deed3,but if elected, I want it by fair means, aud not by reflecting on any one. Respectfully, J. II. Moose. Dry's Mill, N. C, Aug 27th, 18S3.

C. J. Joxes, of Garden City, Kan sas, better known, throughout the Southwest as "Buffalo" Jones, who started with a party of seven last April to capture alive the only re uiaiuing herd of buffalo on the plains of Texas, has.says the Chicago Times, successfully accomplished his pur pose, and the shaggy-haired captives were driven into civilization and the comforts of a well-kept ranch a few miles from Garden City. In start ing put to capture the animals Mr Jones calculated that he would find about one hundred animals roaming over the plains between the north and south forks of the Canadian river, but he found upon arrival there that the number had been greatly over estimated. There were hardly two score all told, aud these so scattered that it was with the greatest difficul ty that he and his party of experien ced hunters corraled and saved from destruction the small herd now in Kansas. - . j i. mm p a PIMPLES ON THF FACE Denote an impure state of the blood and are looked upon by many with suspicion.
