It's no use to be old fogy, when
by enterprise and jliiblie spirit a
town and community can be abreast
of the ci'ines and make rapid pro
gress. Our town fathers have
caught the itep, and Concord will
soon be a city. They have applied
for a charter entei.ding the corpor
ation. The town is to be divided
into four wards ; with the square
by the St. Cloud as the centre, as
was no-til some time ago in The
Standard. The St. Cloud quarter
will be 1st ward, Caton's Hall will
be in the 2nd ward, Fetzer's drug
store in the 3rd, Litaker's block in
the 4th. TheArwil! be one Com
missioner from each ward, and two
from the town at large. The Com
missioners have ordered a large rock
j crusher, and iiit.-iid to macadamize
our principal streets. Hurrah for
Concord !

The unfinished business of Mr.
Lnsk's bill to extend the time for
sheriffs to collect by distress and set
tle the taxes due and unpaid, which
was amended by the auth r by chang
ing the dates so that the sales of
land for taxes advertised next Mon
day (first Monday in February)
might be postponed till' the first
j Mouday in April, was taken' tip.
tThis bill was strongly supported by
some while others seemed opposed to
it and the first skirmish of the sea
son took place, and was, after some
discussion on the merits of the bill,
opened by a nlotion to adjourn, which
was voted down. The bill has since
passed and is now a law.-
S. B. introduced by Senator Payne
to anienc article nine, section two,
of the Constitution, provides that
the schdol fund for the white and
colored races shall be Lent separate
and distinct : that the taxes raised
for school purposes fro-n the taxa-

THE PE.VITEXTIAKY.
The House toik up, on its second
reading, the bill reported favorably
by thr commit ;f"oii Penal Institu
tions (and proposed by that commit
tee) to make the
penitentiary self-
i
sustaining. An amendment was
accepted making the law as to the
taking away of convicts from rail
ways, unless pai i'for, apply also to!
canals and turnfiikes. j
Mr. lloke spoke very ablv in stip-j
..r i :n ii.. l. :
poiioi u.e on.. lie hptmir ... coin-
plimentary terms or the warden or
the penitentiary. He said the trou
ble was that the labor of convicts
had for years been given free to
railways. This is just as much a
donation as a gift of so much mon
ey. The people demand that this
plan be not pa. frfed further. This
bill cuts the annual appropriation
for the penitentiary from the public
treasury from $215,000 to $75,000.
The penitentiary must itself earn
the rest pf its support.
Fifty-seven petitions from Farm-
. Alliance, asking the legislature
to prevent, giving awav of convicts,
free passes and create railway com
sioners. You can make no mistake bv nsin"
