There seems to be a scarcity of small change and big change too. The handsome residence of M. J. Freeman is muring completion. Get your new leaves ready for turning, Jauuary will soon be here. . Work is going on at a lively rate on the Albemarle & Salisbury road. Fresh bacon was offered for sale on the streets this week. Rather earlv. Xunurous changes will be made in places of business on the 1st of January. Three mountain ox teams were in town this week, and they were tine ones too. It is believed that X'orth Caro lina will get annually $'20,2 75 for our State guard. We received an obituary this week which we could not publish as there was no name signed. There is a voting man in the pnntv th:it i (5 feet and 1 inch high. He is only K years old. Xow and then some little boy or girl bobs up, claiming to have aj geu.iine "autograph" from Jefferson Davis. When two unmarried physicians start ofTon horseback in a big hurry, what does it mean ?

Tuesday was the best cotton day for Concord this year. The firm of Cautions & Fetzer bought 119 bales on that dav. Our friend, Chas. Correll, the watch -maker, gave its a fresh clover blossom. We gave it away, without the emblem, of course. How long will it take a person to learn when to applaud ? Some youthful promises have been con verted to emptiness by a dependence on applause. As The Standard force wants to "take Christmas," there will be no issue next week. "The Stand ard" wishes all its patrons a merry, happy Christmas. Married in Concord, at the resi dence of J. F. Willeford, Mr. John A. Bernhardt to Miss Esther Cook, of Xo. 4 township, J. F. Willeford Esq., officiating. Henry W. Grady, who recently made another fine speech in Boston, was taken with pneumonia in Xew York on his return and is said to be in a serious condition. A letter shown us from E. I. Bell, formerly of this county, now of Barry, Texas, shows that he is a prosperous farmer in that State, and made a large crop this year. The sermon to young men that was delivered by Rev. Payne at the Presbyterian church Sunday night, we have heard very highly compli mented as being a masterly effort. The text was Gen. 14:10. - -The Odell factory is now turn ing out new shirting that presents a verj attractive appearance. The colors are delicate, and the designs are pretty. It is made from a finer grade of yarn than has ever been used in this factory. We are glad to know that the reported attack of Dr. Shearer, President of Davidson College, upon the public school system, in his recent address before the Synod of Florida, is pronounced a mistake, The Doctor alluded to Presbyterian ism in higher education, such as does not come within the sphere of the public schools. Col. P. B. Means and Mr. II. S. Puryear have been asked to sol ice t subscriptions to the Jeff. D.ivis Land Fund. It is a worthy cause, ilnd should meet a liberal support at the hands of our people. John Lady was put in jail Wed nesday night. He was on trial last spring for removing a corner stone on the Query-White land, and while the jury was out on the case, skipped, leaving his bondsmen with the "bag to hold." The case of Rev. Gantt was tried before Esq. S. E. W. Pharrlast Monday in the court house, which was well filled. After a thorough investigation the case against Mr. Gantt was dismissed, the charge not being sustained. Capt. J. M. Odell received by express yesterday, a genuine, St. Bernard dog, just from the Alps. It Is only three months old, and is the size of a grown sheep, which it somewhat resembles, with its long brown woolly hair. It is a present from a friend. We regret very much to hear that Mr. B. F. Rogers and family are to leave Concord. They will, in January, make Raleigh their home. Miss Fannie will be at school at St. Mary's in that city, and as Mr. Rogers is in Xew York or traveling most of the time, and Frank, Jr., will be at Horner's school, at Oxford, Mrs. Rogers and Miss Ada will board in Raleigh. We call the attention of the magistrates of the couuty to the meeting that has been called for the iis t Monday in January for the pur pose of electing a successor to R. W. Allison, Esq., as chairman of the county commissioners. For some reason there was not a qiorum at the last called meeting, and it is hoped the next meeting will be bet ter attended. A contest for a Demorest medal will be held at Mt. Carmel church on the 27th. The senior editor ac cepts the honor bestowed upon him as one of the judges." The president. Miss Jennie Sapp, of the W. C. T. I", under whose auspices the contest is held, will please accept our thinks for a kind invitation to be presen t. At a colored "festerment" on the plantation of Mr. J. B. Harris, last week, a number of the guests arrived and proceeded to make things lively by abusing the hostess. The quarrel was taken up by another guest, and as remonstrance proved unavailing, he pulled out his pistol and fired several shots at the offend ing colored gentleman. Mransre to ay, the latter did not move from his tracks, and was not in the lenst njured. The local in this paper recently n regard to the closing of the Acad emy at Rocky River referred to a school in Stanlv. At Rocky River in this countv, arrangements have been made for a permanent school there and Mr. L. L. Moore, a recent graduate of Davidson Col lege, has been employed and entered upon his labors there two weeks ago. He opened with a good number of pupils, and we wish him a prosperous session. We find the following in an article on "Intensive Farming in Xorth Carolina," in the Progressive Farmer: Premium Xo. 21, largest yield of wheat from 5 acres, $40, was awarded to Charles McDonald, Esq., of Concord, Cabarius county. The five acres were measured by Mr. John 0. Young, and Mr. McDonald made upon it 1772 bushels of wheat. He give3 the cost of mauuring and cultivation of the five acres at $73.20, and value of the straw at $20, but does not give the value of the wheat, I'eople Yon Know. Hiram Foard is in town. Rev. W. L. Grissou: is in town. Mrs. Dr. E. C. Register arrived Wednesday evening. Mr. and Mrs. Wat Atkins have returned from Albemarle. T. O'Connell. of Mooresville, was here yesterday. Judge W. J.

Moouey, brother of Mills Mauney, spent several days at the St. Cloud recently. He is traveling for a Cincinnati clothing house. W. Mills Mauney, who has been in the county collecting his rent at the Mills place, left this week for his home at Gowansville, S. C. We are sorry that he leaves this county permanently. Miss Alice Guess, the efficient music teacher of the Virginia Dare Institute, and a most charming and brilliant young lady, leaves this evening to spend Xmas with the dear ones at home at Cary. Were she not to return, there would be a sad Xmas for a host of young people. Holiday Kales.

Secretaries of Sub Alliances are requested to send list of delegates to Dr. S. A. Grier, Secretary of Rocky River Alliance, Ilarrisbtirg, X' C. White Hall. Since publishing the article on Xorthern Academies in our last is sue, we Have received a call trom Mr. J. B. White, who informs us that we we in error so far as the White Hall Seminary is concerned. They use the books recommended by the Stae Board of Education, which, of course, are unobjectiona ble. Recognizing the fact that the pupils are to live always among Southern people, this country being their home, they carefully avoid teaching views that would cause them to be distasteful to their neighbors, and friends. This being true, we have no objection to White Hall, or any similar institution, but rather rejoice that they are here, and bid them them God-speed in a good work. For Xmas Uoodles. It is not a difficult matter to tell where to buy your Xmas goodies, for live firms know how to advertise their business, as can be seen in our columns, but by way of aiding you, we will enumerate these places. Beginning at Vaughan's candy store, you will always find a nice lot of the best candies, freshly made and warranted pure. For substantial groceries, as well as special Xmas goods, which play an important part in the good things of Xmas, you have choice stocks to select from at Kimmons', W. J. Swink's, Dove, Bost and Fink's, Patterson's elegant new store, J. M. Cross's, Cook & Sappen field's, C. A. Cook's, and Geo. E. Fisher & Co's. For handsome jew elry of all kinds, so nice for pres ents, go to Correll Bro's". For toys, that in variety and beauty beggar description, go to Dr. J. P. Gibson's, Of course you will want to dress handsomely, and have nice things fo wear. For these go to Cannons and Fetzer's and Hoover, Lore and Co's, whose new ad. in this issue invites your attention. If you want a gun to shoot with, or a sewing machine, for your wife, or anything in the hardware line, Yorke & Wadsworth's is the place to get it. For a good meal that is both substantial and elegant, go to the St. Cloud. Horse Recovered. The horse which was stolen from the stable of Mr. D. M. Lowder, of this county, a few Sundays ago, was recovered eight miles to the right of Mocksville last Sunday, and was brought to Albemarle Tuesday eve ning by Doc Hall. The thief was not captured. Mr. John Q. Fore man, of Salisbury, was instrumental in the recovery of the animal and is entitled to the reward. Stanly Ob- Bel Yer. His Coffin was Ready. Mr. Laban Petrea, of Mt. Pleasant, died Monday morning at 3 o'clock, lie was about sixty years of age and was one of the good citizens of that little burg. After his death, ar rangements were being made by the family to aend to this place for a coffiD, when his brother, Mr. Mat thew Pttrea, told them they need not trouble about that. Taking them to Mr. Laban Petrea's cabinet shop, they found nicely boxed up a handsome walnut coffin, which the gentleman had made for himself several years ago. Cabinet making was his business, and he had made hundreds of eoffins. He was the father of 19 children. BnnliieitN Move. A general move around will take take place among several of our business firms about January 1st. The firm of Allison aud Young is to go out of business, C. G. Mont gomery having bought out their entire stock. He will leave his present quartei'3 and will occupy the corner store of the Allison block. The firm of Hagler & Motley will occupy the store vacated by C. G. Montgomery. The Xew York Cut Price Store is to return to Winston, and their room will be occupied by Morrison, Stuart & Co. A new firm consisting of J. F. Willeford and son, Jimmic Wille ford, will open up in the Allison building a line of general and fancy groceries, under the style of J. F. Willeford & Sou. Clear Creek Items. We expected to report a marriage this week but some how or other the thing didn't "go off." Bethel Alliauce still shows some signs of vitality. Mr. Wolf has notified his sub scribers that he will be here this week with their books. It is remarkable how the gar dens stay green so long ; most every body has a green garden. A great many people think since the death of Cncle Spain Gray that, while he was living, he hid most all his money away where he thought it would be in safe keeping, and that he would at sometime in life divulge the secret of his hidden treasure, but he died without ever saying much about it. One of bis sons recently found, concealed in an old wheat bin, twenty-five dollars that had no doubt been stored away there by his father. Many people predict the hardest times that have been experienced for many years, on account of bad crcps and a prevailing inclination of many renters to go to the towns and seek work in the factories and ma chine shops. During the last two weeks farmers have been kept very busy winding up their cotton picking, and jet there are a fevT stray pods in most every lield. Some of our neighbors have haul ed pork to Charlotte this fall and realized generally about seven cents for it. That is low for nice country pork, but beats cultivating five acres of cotton to every bale, and applying one third of the proceeds to the payment of guano bills. While most of the public schools are iu session there are a few dis tricts arouud that have not as yet secured a teacher. Mr. J. M. Hagler, of this com munity, talks of moving his family to Concord to work in the factory. Mr. J. C. Kluttz bought the cele brated "Gale Combination Harrow and Cultivator " from the agent who is now working up Cabarrus county. Uncle Allen Garmon, our faithful old miller, has resigned his station aud gone to Mecklenburg to live with his son. The pastor, L. M. Brower, delivered his farewell sermon last Sunday at Bethel church and will now repair to his circuit in Stanlv county. We believe that Mr. B. is a religious man, and most assuredly a faithful minister of the Word. At the sale, last Saturday, of the widow Turner's property, corn sold for sixty cents per bushel, Christmas is coming, and we trust the holidays will bring to everybody that hilarity of soul and recreation of mind and . body that we all so much need, especially editors and school teachers. While these two classes of workers, doubtless, need to enjoy more thau anybody else, the rejuvinating sports of the holidays, we will makg a broad sweep and wish everybody a merry time. COKNCUACKER. Letter from nr. Parks. Charlotte, X. C, Dec. 16, 1889. Dear Sir : A friend in my con gregation who takes the The Stand ard, handed me a piece clipped frcm your paper, signed John G. Anderson, pastor of Rocky River church, warning people against a book of "Bible Readings for the Home Circle." In the article, I find this sentence : "He carries with him as I understand, a recommendation from Rev. G. D. Parks of the Pres byterian church." Let me say through your paper, that if the agentwho has been sel ling that book is using my name in that way, he has been putting me in a lhjht sis falsi- as are some of the teachings of the dangerous book which he has been selling. I sub scribed for the book without having opportunity to examine it, intending to let the young men of my church, have it, to use in their weekly prayer meetings. But when the book came and I gave it an examination of twenty minutes, I found it was a work calculated to do harm. I saw the agent iu a few days on his work in Charlotte, and so far from recom mending the book, I let him know very plainly that 1 regarded the book as adangerous one, and the cir culation of it an evil work; and sol emnly warned him to cease from it. Afterwards I found the wolf was working in a part of my church, and twice publicly warned my peo ple against it. There are several agents I under stand, in thi3 part of the State, and it is likely that the wolf which has been among Brother Anderson's sheep is not the one with whom I had to deal. And it is probable that each agent has a list of the others' subscribers. But if the one in, your part of the county got my name from the Mecklenburg agent, with a rec ommendation from me, it was a forgery. Respectfully, G. 1). Parks, Sharon Church.
