Just as the old man was grieving nest bitterly under a cloud (?) that overshadows (?) his usual peaceful life, a lad brings in a box. Its contents are a beautiful saucer, cup and plate, each bearing the pic ture of Salem Female Academy. Where it conies from we do not know. A kind lady, some where, sends them with best wishes and an injunction to remember her. We'll do it. May this reach her eyes, and it bears the f-incerest thanks of a humble recipient. That Aicc Croud. It is impossible to give an esti mate of the number of people in the crowd that assembled, Thursday, to participate in the unveiling of the monument. There is cue thing, however, that i3 known beyond doubt no county anywhere can furnish so large a crowd and show more sobriety. If there wa3 more than one intoxicated man to be sum, no one can tell. It was a good gathering of good people, and it did hearts good to see tbe spirit tint prevailed. How to Toll tho Width ofa It iter. Stand on the river bank and low er the brim of your hat until the edge just "cuts' the other bank. Then steady your head by putting your hand under the chin. Turn around carefully and notice where the range of the brim of the hat meets the ground. Measure this distance and you w ill have the width of the river. A Onc-llair Cord of Snakes. Mr. W C Li taker, of No. 4, re l orts a snake killing feast. While ditching on Friday, he uueaithed a whole regiment of snakes the moc casin beed. Some were Jarcre at some small. He killed every one, 40 i'i number. This is almost a sworn statement. Mr. Litaker mod estly remarked, "it was not a good day for snakes, either. I'reakN of Irish Potatoes. There is something new under the sun. G C Lentz, of No. 7, informs us that on Mch. 15 he planted 1 bushels of Irish potatoes, of which only about 100 hills sprouted and came up. After examination, he found that all the rest, however,'are in the business they are not idle Notwithstanding they have no ap pearance above the ground they are manufacturing potatoes. Around each potato there are from 5 to 13 potatoes growing right away. Some of them are now as large a3 guinea eggs. These potatoes might be a aled jsubtenean potatoes. They Pulled Straws. The election for Mayor of Albe marie resulted in a tie vote between Jno. S Atkins and Jno. W Bostian 24 to 24. The election managers pulled straws and Mr. Atkins got there. It is mayor Atkin3now; it wouldn't be, however, if it were not for paying a Gue of $23 or swearing that he is not competent ti to Gil the office. Therefore, Mp. Atkins will serve. The Pronoun 'orretMMilnt. Mr. Editok: The majority of the Stand. lid's readers are farmers. The majority of the Progressive Far mer's readers in our county are far mers. In the last issue of the lat ter (the Farmer) is an article emi nating from the p?n of a Concord its From the countless number, the innumerable amount of pronouns in which the writer is included (the we's, the us' and the burs') in the production a wrong impression might possibly be foisted on the minds of those who till the soil. They might suppose, imagine, aye even believe that the author was a regular "hor- ney-handed son of toil," a bona fide "hayseeder" who labored from the rising of the sun to the going down thereof and whose adjectival express sions were generally used whilst pulling a bell cord over a mule. Now to counteract any such false impressions, auy such mishapen ideas let us say that the Progressive Far', mer's correspondent is not "built that way." It is very doubtful if the "we, us and our" writer of the Progressive Farmer ever conjured up one sentence between the plow han dles, hoed out one ielea in a cotton patch or cut a swath of experience in a wheat Geld. In this great all hands round "hoe down" with capi tal we the people want "straight goods" fc men to manipulate "our" thinker and aid us to work out cur salvation. Mechanic. May 10, '92.

His "police" was an oil cloth contraption and the lock didn't work well. As he stepped on the platform one side of the valise let tlown and the contents were offered to mother earth. His extra pants, shirts,, socks, cologue, tooth powders, love letters, comb and brush, beads etc. reminded one of the conglomeration such as indicated by the average boy's pocket. The gentleman picked his goods up. When you drop something, pick it up. Hail s Foot Prints. Heo. E Fisher was out in No. on Monday. He brought iu some sprouts. They dhow the work of the big hail storm that passed through the Gilwood church sec tion. The western side of the sprouts look like small poxliad in fested them. This is the big hail storm that destroyed all the crops. tcgether with all the foliage of the trees, last year. They are Pulling;. The Standard learns that Noa. and 0 townships want the CoDCord Southern to pass through their bor ders, by Mt. Pleasant and no to Wadcsboro or Monroe. We under stand too that they will petition for an election on the matter. Thisjbeing the situation, Nos. 11 and 10 want it. there will be some J hurrying up abcut it WHO LOST IX TiilS? la business life many novel things happen. The tarns matters take make room for oceans of thought. Things are not always what they seem to be you think you know it and then you don't. To sit down and study human na ture one can not help see that we are fearfully and wonderfully made. Every business man has his own forte and most business men stop with business and don't strive to convince the world that the only reason they conduct a business is to serve the public, serve their maker and "wake Confederate soldiers happy. There comes to light a business transaction that goes to show that one business man, at least, has an unusual amount of milk of human kindness for the Confederate sol dier, who didn't dodge behind rail piles, run, get shot in the back and such like. It involves a question of ethics, otherwise we would not slop to print the stuff. The Standard ues no names, as the parties con cern know their names and others need not know. A B & C are merchants in a town of North Carolina ; D is a farmer, a wounded Confederate soldier ; and E is a'magistrate. Sj far. so good. Less than two year3 ago, D mort gaged a horse, for a small amount, to A, who never registered it. 1) mortgage the same horse to B for a small amount this mortgage was registered ; and again D mortgaged the horse to C for a small amount this mortgage was also registered, hence both B's & C's papers were more valuable than A's. The ani mal was worth more than the entire ndebtedness. The crop was a failure; D had no money. A began to push early in the Fall by sending his mortgage to E to collect, It was not registered and to wind up the business satis factory D turned over the horse to the magistrate. B's & C's paper3 were also placed in the hands of E. The animal was put up to sale and was bought by an agent of B for a ittle more than B's claim. C offered to take the horse and did so by pay ing B his claim. Then A in a sweet and reeling whirligig demonstration demanded the horse as his moi tgage was the oldest, but he wa3 cooly in formed about the registration. A then bought of C the horse pay ing a sum equivalent to the accounts of B & C The horse stood A at a price equal to the three mortgages with interest. A saw his way out the horse wa3 worth the "accounts easy. He sold the horse to another gentleman for $10 more than the horse cost him. All were safe at home on the Guam. cial trip, and D was out of a horse and apparently had lost $10, taking for granted he had received value for value in goods. Some people never lose opportu nities. They grasp them and pull them for all they are worth. A did this, Jhe did. He's an opportune man. A wrote a letter to the Confeder ate soldier and the tone of the bet ter i3 such that the Confederate sol dier really thinks A is a good square man, in whom their is no guile and such like. That letter, in substance, i3 : "In consideration of your cripple condi tion partly due to your brayery and faithfulness as a Confederate soldier I herewith send joa a clean receipt for the account you owe me. I have not the heart, sir, to lose an opportunity to throw a ilower in the pathway of a brave Confederate sol dier whenever I can. I hope you appreciate indeed I know you do the act on my part. I sympathize deeply with you. May the Lord of Hosts protect yon and soften the hardships of this life upon you. Yours in Sympathy, A got all his nnney and $10 be sides ; he writes D a letter like the above and leaves the soldier under the impression that he had lost all by him. Now, my masters, what has made ? What ha3 C made ? Has A lost or gaiiud ? How much ? B Has the Confederate soldier lost his horse? Was the Confederate soldier pre' sented with a present A's account? Or did A get remumerated ? Should A keep the $10 or give it to the Confederate soldier for whom he has so much feeling. Should A have written that letter? These are living issues that ought to be auswered before July 4th, Murder ofa Xi;cht Watclnnaii. Charlotte, N. C, May 10. At Toccoa, Ga., last night burglars broke into the Toccoa bank. They killed James Carter, the watchman, crushed in his head with a crow bar. They failed to rob the bank. Sever al partie3 are under arret t on suspic ion. Local Application. To Daily Standard : Politic circles have been veiv much airlt;.- ted to kuow what move tho Alliance is taking in the present ctmpaign. If the Democratic party would observe more closely, tney would see the "Reform party" were inclined to begin by reversing some of the old ways and usages. As an illustra tion : One of the "Democratic dudes'' of Concord came over to Mecklen burg with the view of forming an Alliance, but he reasoned without her host. When he drove up to take his fair young lady to church he met an opponent in the shape of an Alliance man who reversed his buggy, put ting the hinel wheels where the front are usually used, and vice versa. The "Dude" arrived in Concord at one a, m. Monday in good condition, un aware of his peculiar mode of trans portation. Where ignorance is bliss 'Tis folly to be wise. Would that all opposition to the Alliance were as easily reversed as the duele from Concord. w Alliaxcemax. Compliment to Concord. Mr. Kearney, a traveling man of many years and one who has been all over N. C, says : "Were I asked to name the best three town 3 in North Carolina I would quickly say Oxford, Reidsvilleand Concord, and a3 a place to live Concord would be decieledly my preference." That's right. We have a good town, yes we have. When the Con cord Southern is built then you'll see Concord put on a marvelous growth. jfc5TLet us pull together and by no means divide. Two Heart)- People. Last Wednesday was the birthday, the 79th, of the oldest living railway engineer in the United States, Mr. Albeit Johnson, of Raleigh, He ran a steam engine in 1831, and in 1832 ran the Grst engine, the "Roa noke," over the railway from Peters burg to Blakeley, near Weldon. Harnett county can boast of the most industrious woman so far on record. Some four years ago Mrs. Lucy McLeod, of Nell's Creek towu ship, did most of the work on build ing herself a comfortable little house. This winter she has done all the necessary ditching on her farm, which was some 800 or 1,000 yards, besides she has split a number of rails and repaired the old fences. Comment flipped From our Exchan ges. Sausage ought to be cheap in Lou isville, Kentucky. Twenty-Gve hun dred dogs have been slaughtered in the pound. An Illinois woman has threatened to dynamite Keely, the bi-chloride of gold man, whom she charges with killing her husband with bis cure, unless he immediatoly and forthwith if not sooner, allays her wrath with 81,000. As that ia the prico she puts upon her departed husband, ho couldn't have been much of a hus band, and the probabilities are that she don't miss him much after all W1 Shepherd Pups.
