In mortgages registered.
But with several interviews with
business men Loth of the town and
c.-untry the Standard learns that ail
Mortgages are registered this year,
while la.st year not more than half
were registered. Some merchants
are registering this year a number,
while last year they registered but a
few of those taken.
There is no doubt but that a
decrease cf at least one third has
been made in the number of chattel
mortgages made up thii far in 1891.
Very, very few mortgages are
'riven for doctored sand, commonly
known as fertilizers. Smoke that.

Tiie chain gang has been laboring
for three weeks in No. 4, on the road
between I-Ted Cline's and the County

worst piece of road in the county.
Ic is not so now. The chaingang
has done a good work there. But

was in and said that most of them
were Alliancemen, too. That's a
good spirit, too.
When it comes to this, why
couldn't neighbors join in and fur
nish rock for other bad places in the
county and let the chain gang put
them in? It would pay handsomely.

Several weeks ago a number of
parties went west to Arkansas
Among them was Scott Fisher, son
of France Fisher.
Scott and his wife have returned.
It is amusing to hear his description
of that country. He literally got
enough ot it. lie said many believed
here that a former Cabarrus man
had gone west a couple years ago
and had grown rich. This is a mis
take. That man would co ne back
tomorrow, but he's too poor to make
the trip.

The onluckiest magistrate in the
county is Esq. Jesse Willeford.
Some time ago the Standard's dog
cart dumped him out into a mud
hole, and jiow he has to lose a line
hen by att'einpiing to put ou style.
A few days ago he purchased some
tine-blooded eggs from Kegister
Patterson and placed them under
his pet setting hen. The next
morning the Esquire's hen was dead.
Of course his heu coulel not endure
such line eggs, for she was plain and
unassuming. Justice Willeforei's
children, out of compassion for their
father, contend that the hen was
dead before their father set her.
Surely Esq. Yv Tllcford knows a dead
chicken when he sees it !

Some of them are new men, new

coming with answers to the five
"Sunday February question," I con
cluded to make an attempt to answer
these questions' Christmas will oc
cuijia 19,00 on Tuesday. This is my
opinion' The seventeenth century
was the last to contain four five
Sunday Februaries. It occuared in
1001, ICol, 1070 and 1088. And
the next to contain it will be the
twenty lirst century. It will occur
iu "104, 2032 2000, and .5088."

The Catling gun of the Naval
Battalion was to-day reinforced by
50 Lee magazine guns, 40 new model
Colt's revolvers, 35 cutlasses, with
belts, scabbards, etc., to match. The
guns can be used a3 either single
shotsor magazines. The belts carry
30 single shot cartridges and 9 maga
zine pockets of I've cartridges each.
The pistol is the most wonderful
of the kind made. It can be fired as
rapidly as the trigger i3 pulled, and
one movement extracts the emptied
shells, while another movement re
loads the six chambers automatical
ly. The battalion is now ready for
war.
