There are many people in Cabar
rus, especially in Uocky River con
gregation, who will be glad to know
of the tine reputation that Rev. Ed.
Vuve'k, son of Dr. Mack, the former
pastor of Rocky River church, is
making for himself. After gradu
ating at Davidson College he took a
theological course at Princeton, grad
uating there this spring. "While
there he led his class, carried off two
medals out of the eight that were
uil'd-ed, Wsides winning a $600 schol
arship. He has been invited to fill
r. Miller's pulpit in Charlotte
while he takes the European trip his
congregation have generously given
him. We wish our young friend
and college mate much success in
the Masttr's cause.
I'liey Say
That our street railway is being
talked about in a number of large
places out west. Our progression
know, is being admired.
That Fisher & Hall are regular
dirt-movers.
That the hands are the happiest
people in the world, singing and
laughing merrily.
'J hat the colored men strike not
another lick when the town clock
strikes the first stroke for six. If
the pick is raised and ready to fall
when the cluck begins to strike the
pick stops at once, for the hands are
working just ten hours per day.
That so many at work now is a
sad commentary on agriculture in
this county.

"e are sorry to have to announce
to our readers that Mr. Jacob Stire
walt. whose illness was noted in our
last issue, has since died. Being
seized' with a very severe attack of
cholera morbus, it proved too much
fur even his wonderful constitution,
and after a week's illness he quietly
passed away Saturday morning about
two o'clock. He was buried Sunday
morning last in the familv burving
ground at Poplar Tent, w here lie his
wife and several others of his family.
A large number of friends and re
latives were present, and the funeral
w as preached by Kev. II. G. Gilland;
Mr. II. S. Arrowood was also present,
and offered a prayer.
The distinguishing trait of Mr.
St irew alt's character was his won
derful and untiring energy. His
whole life has been one of almost
unceasing activity. lie never knew
what it was to take a rest from his
active duties. Just a few days before
his death he ginned and marketed
a number of bales of cotton himself,
juid w hen he was taken sick he was
in Statesville attending to some busi
ness, lie was in splendid health,
but after eating a very hearty dinner
he became sick, and with his usual
t. nacity of purpose, started for home,
suffering very much on the way.
I n. in this attack he never recovered.
Sometime ago, before the death of
liis sun, -the late Edward Stirewalt,
about six years ago, he had given
over into his hands the management
of his large business. After his
death, he being his only son, he re
sumed his business, and not only
completed a large saw mill plant,
then in course of erection, but also
put up a splendid roller-mill, the
best, -and only one of the kind, in
in the county.
Mr. Stirewalt came of that good
old German .stock that has done so
much for this country, and his
faiiiily wa3 noted for great, mechan
ical skill. The family was originally
of the Lutheran church, and Mr.
Stirewalt himself was an almost
lifelong member of St. Enoch's
Lutheran church, lie was a con
sistent Christian, a kind and gener
ous neighbor, and a man of spotless
integrity.
lie leaves three daughters Mrs.
G reason, of Hurlington, Mrs.. Barron
Prcssly, and Miss Julia Stirewalt.
All who knew Mr. Stirewalt sympa
thize with his family in their great
loss.

The t ily In 1793.
The" people that lived about the
year 1795 were great drinkers of
water. Concord, when but a child
yet, had three public wells within
fifty yards of each other. Signs of
one can be seen where the excavation
is being made at Allison's corner.
One night ten or fifteen "young
Americas " concluded to have some
fun, so the story goes, and. they filled
this well half full of goods boxes.
The "city" authorities then com
pleted the job by tilling with dirt.
" Them" were glorious times!
Tt'nfortiinRte Man.
To-an observer of humanity in all
its phases, the blessings of this life
seem very unequally divided. Tues
day morning Mr. M. V. Iloneycutt,
of Enochville, drove into town in
company with Mr. Henry Overcash,
who has not walked a step in four
years. Sitting down, Mr. Overcash
shows no sign of any weakness, but
all the same he cannot use his legs
nor his hands without one hand as
sisting the other. He weighs, nearly
two hundred pounds and is twenty-
eight years old. Paralysis has been
coming on for about fifteen years.
But with all this affliction, Mr. O.
makes an honest effort to support
himself by means of making shoes.
And from the" smiles he wears, and
the good, hearty laughs from his very
soul, one is led to believe that he en
joys life more and is happier than
most well people.
Historical Relics.
In excavatiug for the street railway
in the old square some interesting
relics are being discovered that carry
us back to the Auld Lang Sync and
remind us of the troublous times
that preceded the late Civil War.
The stump of the pole was found
upon which floated gaily the flag
raised in the noted Bell and Everett
campaign in 18C0 ; also the stump of
the pole upon which was erected the
great flag for Breckenridgeand Lane
in the exciting campaign that re
sulted in the disruption of the
Union. This is the pole upon which
floated afterwards the first Confeder
ate flag that ever waved in this
county the emblem that led thou
sands in a great struggle. This was
the flag under which such men as
Gen. Dargan, Col. Ham. Jones, Gen.
Ruf us Barringer, Col. John M. Long
and others spoke to our people on
the great issues of the day. Here it
was that Col. John M. Long mi
sheathed his rusty sword and cast the
scabbard away, vowing that it should
never be sheathed again till this
county was free.
There was also found the stump of
an old oak tree that was cut when
the town of Concord was decided
upon aud her streets were being laid
off in the year 1793. Another dis
covery was made which cannot be
classed with relics a vein of gold-
bearing ore. We are afraid to pub
lish more of this vein at present, as
we are not yet ready for such great
crowds as flocked to Lower California
recently.
What an Old Man Told ITs in Ten
Minutes.
Cabarrus county, while only in
its ninety-seventh year, has a history
full of interesting facts. In her
youthful years she put on. but little
style, rather seeking to be like her
good, old, substantial, home-made
citizens. We are told by one of our
oldest citizens that the first jail in
this county was located where Elam
King's residence now stands. It was
not a magnificent building either,
being built of logs and like a double
.barn. It had some large holes in it.
in fact a man could crawl through
some of them and esca. e, but they
(jail-birds) had better sense in those
days than to escape, being more law-
abiding. This jail afterwards be
came the kitchen of George Kultz,
of whom it is said that he gave the
ground for the old Lutheran ceme
tery, and he was the first one to be
buried in it, and the same thing
happened, it is said, with the former
owner of the present town cemetery
facts sufficient to make some peo
ple superstitious enough to refuse a
donation or sale of land for such
purposes.
Returning to the jail Btibject,
this old citizen said : " There was a
Mr. Hudson, who had but one fault
and that was that he would fight
any and everybedy for the least
provocation. He was placed in jail
for an offense of this kind, and
while there a man came along, seeing
Mr. Hudson in jail, remarked, "Dog
gone you, you are right where you
ought to be, you old scamp." Mr.
II. climded up to one of these holes
and crawled out and down, gave the
fellow a genteel flogging and then
returned to his berth in the country's
airy and hol(e)y prison." Our
prisoners could not be insulted.

last Saturday night, with about
seventy-five out of a hundred and
fifteen members present, and just
had a splendid time. Every thing
went on nicely so far as could be
seen, but after the society had ad
journed they found that some cow
ardly person, or persons, who were
I devoid of principle or any thing else
that is decent, had taken advantage
of the darkness and went the rounds
among the buggies, taking taps off
of wheels, cutting up saddles, valises,
&c. They have some vounar bloods
spotted, and if it can be proved all
will not be well with them.
Mr. Robert F. Grier and Miss
Be3sie Caldwell were married, on the
12th, at 3.30 o'clock, by Rev. Mr.
Anderson at the residence of Mr.
J. E. Caldwell. Mr. Grier is a high-
toned gentleman and of one of the
firBt families of Mecklenburg county,
and has plucked one of the most
precious flowers from the " City of
Roses." Miss Bessie is every thing
that can be said of a Christian lady,
and to know her was to love her.
She has many friends in this and
Mecklenburg county who will join
ns in wishing her many blessings of
this life that God may be pleased to
give her. They received, a great
many valuable and useful presents.
They left on the Carolina Central
the same evening at eight o'clock
for "Wilmington and Wrightsvillc.
Will ' return some time next week.
We wish them a pleasant time and a
safe return to the " City of Roses,"
where they will, we hope, remain for
a long, long time. M.
