The Standard must insist upon
its subscribers net to k!ay in set
tling their subscriptions. If we did
not need the nior.ey, and uight
now, the matter could sock along
jast so. Needing it and the sub!
scriptions being due, are reasons for
urging a heed to this call. Whilst
you may no', owe but a dollar that
tickles uc and does r.s good.
To those r ho owe for over a year
we are sending statements through
the mails wo believe many have
overlooked the matter and forgotten
just how it is, therefore we "adopt
this method to let them know how
their subscrictions s-ar.d, feeling aa
sured they will appreciate the
matter.
On the first of January, we will
drop all nanits due for more than a
yeir and from that date the Stand

this in justice to those who pay
promptly. Then for the lust time
years we have been runnm the

What a Cow a Vim I)o
The Standard wants to tell about
a common blooded cow that took the
first premium at our last fair as
such. This cow las done her duty,
and there k nothing hi her record to
make her feel ashamed.
From November 1, 1801, to a0
vember 1, 1892, this cow produced
the milk that furnished a family of
four and produced all the butter
that was needed. But here it is:
The surplus was sold and amounted
in pounds to 303, or in dollars (it
being engaged at a stated price)
to $00. CO.
During the year the saleable food
she ate would not have amounted to
over ten dollars of course the clover
and grass during their seasons are
not tuken into consideration. And
we do not stop to asset t that the fen
tilizer enters into the column of
profits.
This common blooded cow belongs
to Mr. W D Ritchie", of St. John's,
and it is needless to remark that he
was once a pupil of tins scribe but
we had nothing to do with his train
ing looking to the care of a cow.
(ilvrn Leave of Absence.
As the Standard before remarked:
If Kev. W G Campbell, pastor of
St. James Lutheran church, wanted
his resignation accepted he would
have to hand it into some congregas
tioa other than the one he ecrved.
As foreshadowed by the congrega
tional meeting a week as;o the resign
nation was not accepted, bat an
agreement waa entered into at
the congregational meeting Sunday
which grants Mr. Campbell a leave
of absence long enough to accom
plish a purpose near hia heart:
Placing his only child, little Miss
Bessie, in a school and there direct
ing himself her earlier SGhool life.
Rather than accept Mr. Campbell's
resignation the congregation granted
him this vacation, so to speak, So
about the 1st of January Mr. Campt
bell and family will go to Harris
burg, Pa., where Mr. Campbell takes
an important position in an exeeh
lent school for young ladles.
In the latter part of May" he will
return and serve his congregation
through the months of June, July
and August, lu the mean time the
congregation will be served by Rev.
J M lledrick and other ministers.
The unanimity with which this
arrangement was made, attests the
deep and warm attachment between
people and pastor, which is no less
now than at any time during the
seven ycars pastorate.
Farewell! Farewell!
Rev. II W Bays, D. D., who has
served the Central M E church here
for two year3, but who ha3 been
transfered and stationed at Abbe-,
ville, held his last service on Sun
day. A Standard reporter says Dr.
Bay's farewell remarks were touch,
ing and superb. The deep, pain
ful silence was only broken by sups
pressed weeping.
Dr. Bays is an incessant worker
and a great student, and his labors
in Concord have been deservedly
fruitful.
With him and his elegant family
there follow the richest and warm
est wishes of his congregition and
Concord people in general.

when operations began in the pot, it
became somewhat surprising. The

The Charlotte News has this to
say about some charity work in Con
cord :
"Bev. N I Bakke, a Sweed sent
here by the Lutheran Synod of" St,
Louis as a missionary among the
colored people occupies the petition
held by Bev. Coonlz, who died sud
denly by poison about two years ago,
When he came he found only a small
congregation and that very poor.
He at once brought the odds and
ends together, established a free
day school, and by unceasing labor
has a large school and his congre
gation is in a flourishing condition
He found his dock in a very bad
cordition to tdand the rigors of
winter, in some cases almost desti
lute of clothing and really 3nfferi.ig.
He made the fact known to his
Lutheran friends North and West
through his church paper and they
have responded liberally iu the way
of clothing, shoes and bedding
About $1,000 in these articles have
been given to the needy without re
gard to creed and many who few
days ago were in rags, are now well
clothed and prepared to work during
the winter. This is substantial
charity and the world should know
it and Mr. Bakke should have the
credit."
