Mr. FarneTl, he blacksmith, has moved into the shop back of Sims & Alexander. Mr. John Willeford takes the shop of Mr. Boyd's, ya vated by Mr. Parnell. There is no foundation to the ru mor that Smithdeal & Morris nave dissolved partnership. If any such proceedings do take place, there is nothing Known of it as yet. Mr. Loman, engineer at the elec tric light station, ble his whistle Monday night an unusually long time at midnight. He gave the sign nal for the coming of a new year. As the midnight hour sounded in the dome of the court house Monday night, the fireworks exploded at the home af Mr. Geo. Richmond's was also a signal that something new was at hand. One of our young men went down to Harrisburg Sunday, but did not get bfok until Monday night, how everirowing to the fact that he got left. We do not know his. express bnsineBB down there, but we do here. A tramp was permitted to sleep in the guard house at Charlotte Satur day night. Monday morning as he was aoont to take his leave it was discovered that he had stolen a blanket. He wanted it probably as a souvenir. Misses Maggie Brown and Hose Willeford left this morning for Salisbury, where they will attend the reception of Mr. and Mrs. Will Wiseman, who have jubi returned from an extendel bridal tour 10 Floiida.

Dancing began prompt ly at 9 o'clock and was continued until a late hour. The german was given complimentary to the school virls and their guests who ire spend ing the holidays in Concord. .The Raleigh correspondent of Charlotte Obserejf says : A Repub lican member of the Legislature says he thinks Pritcbard is somewhat loing hia "cinch" on the senator ship. Pritchard's friendb claim that this is untrue. This same Repub lican says Hoi ton may turn out to be a strong man, if the latter cuts loose from Thomas Settle. He went on to Bay that' there was a sort of belief that Settle wanted to run Hoi ton's campaign aodjalsojtojlobby for him for the senatorship, but if Set tle came here for such a purpose, he would be plainly told that .he was elected Congressman and W to the liPPielatnre.

Among several who brokethrough the ice Tuesday at Morris' pond was the Standard's red-headed printer, John Goodman. We su ppose John's hair accounts for the ice getting so thin. At a meeting of the Hose and Reel company Tuesday night, a mo tion was made to insist on the au thorities to have an electric light placed above the door on the outside of their reel house. This is quite a necessity atid should be attended to. It Beem8 hardly possible, but nev ertheless it is true, that on an aver age every fiif ty-fifth person you meet wears W L Douglas shoes. Did you ever realize what an immense under taking it is to supply one article of wearing apparel to over one million people? Wednesday night abont 10 o'clock the snow began again to fall in its beautiful innocence. But by and by the temperature again changed so that a f usion of snow, sleet and rain took place. There is no reason to complain. We baye weather to suit every one. Out of over 150 subscribers to the Concord Water Works, only about twenty escaped damage from the freezvj, Pipee tursted right and left. It is strange the way some of them did. It was not the exposed pipe that broke, but in many case the pipes bursted in the houses. Even the waterback in Fetzer'scook- ng stove bursted. The plumbers are in high clover now. The Uncle Tom's Cabin Company arrived in Concord this (Wednesday) morning in their own car. The band paraded the street and the free music it fnrnished is the finest ever heard on our streets, so musi cians say. Every account we have seen is exceeding complimentary, with one exception the local re porter of the Charlotte Observer was slightly disappointed in the play. Our people may expect a splendid entertainment tonight. At hia first service in the Cons ference year, Rev. M A Smith could not forbear showing his feelings at the very warm reception giyen him by his congregation of the Forest HillM.E. 4jhurch. The church was beautiful decorated, being Christmas season, and the congrega tion was very large. Our people, regardless of denomination, are de lighted to hare Mr. Smith back. This is his third year. - An elegant reception was given last night at Mr. Jap Haltom's, abont two miles in the country, complimentary toJtfr. Will Wises man and wife, of Neapolis, Va.

The- JLor-e couijtnuy to Handle Gro ceries Change InCleaKs. Monday night a deal was made to the effect thpt Mr. John A Kimmons, who has for years been running a grocery store, sold out his entire stock of goods to the Lowe company. This firm will move their stock of clothing from the. Boyd building into the store room with the gro ceries some time this week, nntil other arrangements can be made, It is not known yet what business Mr. Himmons will go into, but we will not lose him from among us. Workmen are busy overhauling Mr. Lowe's ?hew store room. The two rooms will be connected by i doorway. Mr. Jas. M Blackwelder, who as sisted in the clothing store several months, has gone back to Mt.

This scribe for the first time in two years got over 20 miles away from home. Any man, who has any pride in Concord and her goodness, is sure to be made feel good away when hearing the town's fair name made fairer. Several times or more, we heard men speak of Concord, who haye never been here and who were then 300 miles away. One man said he had heard time and again that Concord was one of the best towns in North Carolina. Others seemed to be aetonished at the jmanufactur- mg enterprise in Uoncorcl. Many were they who knew of the splendid managing spirit uid capacity of the Messrs. Odells and Mr. J W Can non. One man had even heard of the movement by Mr. J C Lippard with promises of success for the erection of another cotton mill. Such will make any Concord son feel proud that this is bis home. May the year still brirg new things. Tbe Horfolk Pilot. This is the new daily started and edited by Evangelist Sam Small at Ncrfork, Va. It is full of the sensational and the daily filth of the land. We saw one dispath from Raleigh in the Sunday's issue of the Pilot that not only does non. A F Hile- man an injustice, but the county suffers too, 1' spone of Mr. Hileman's cons nectioa with the Carter reyenue vio lation and made it appear that Mr. Hilemanwas given to such viola tions and other things, and that it was generally known. The Standard resents this, bt cause of the injustice it does both Mr. Hileman and the county. We believe Mr. Hileman was innocent of any intention to do wrong and he says it was ignorance, and he cer tainly does not bear sucn a reputa tion as the Pilot dispatch gives him. Mr. Hileman is certainly to angel, neither is any man, but we believe snrelj that what he did, he did it, as he said, "through ignorance " A Card orThanka. - For the cordial welcome extended to myself and family by the memo bers of Central church and the many kindly attentions, anticipating our wants and making our residence among the people a constant delight we return our sincerest gratitude and appreciation, and pray that, as the days go by, we may be able to render them such service, as shall bind us together in still closer fel lowship, and repay in some measure, at least, the kindness they have shown us. In a ministry of twenty eight years, e may Bincerely say, "the lines have never fallen to us, in more pleasant places." R.H. Parker. Concord, N. C, Jan. 1, 1895. The .marriage of MissJ Jennie Blackwelder, of Mt. Pleasant, and Rv. R L Patterson, in Holy Trinity Lutheran church at Mt Pleasant Tuesday evening, was a . brilliant event. The church was handsomely decorated and it is said that a pretx tier marriage has never Irfean seen in Mt. Pleasant. Ml WILL BROWN THE VICTIM AND SUFFERER. Deputy Sheriff Hill Hnrl-Brown Knocked Him nownWlM a Bottle lr. Archey "After The Ball." While the majority of the colored people were celebrating today there was one who w w most too gay- Will Brown an exconyict and somewhat of a deperate negro, rifled the pockets of George Faggart, who ia employed a, l rown Bros, livery stables. Faggart swore out a warrant for Brown's arrest, 'Squire WJ Hill is. suing same. The warrant was turned over to Sheriff Sims, whereupon search for Brown found him at his old haunt at the depot Deputy Hill was also en"-the scene, and as Brojrn was brought out of the little honse to the left of the depot, he made a break and ran for liberty. Deputy Hill followed him in close pursuit, and' when they had crossed the creek and started up that fatal red hill, Browa turned on Mr. Hill and Btrnck him in the month with a flask, knocking the deputy down. Brown clinched the deputy about tbe throat and made a desperate effort to relieve the offii cer of his gun, but consciousness re turned about that time and he made things hot for the Begio. He flred at the negroes head but missed his mark. Brown loosened his grip at this change in the programme and at tempted to pick up a rock. While ho was yet in a stooped position the til jer fired at him the last ball and it took effect under the left shoulder. Th3 neero ran several hundred yards after being shot, but was Boon overtaken end brought back to town. All this happened about 1:30 o'clock. Dr. L M Arcbey was called in at the jail and probed for the ball, but it was not found. The negro is not seriously hurt but it is a pretty bad scar Brown is an exc served a six-month's teiui va the chain gang for fighting. Deputy Hill, besides wearing mud dy cloths, carries a nicely dressed mouth around with him. He has finger prints on his neck, too. While Deputy Hill's politics are not in accordance with ours, we ad mire him for his pluck ahJ nerve. George Faggart is loser to the amount of $3.75. Brown was intoxicated. A Child' Philosophy. "Spell toes," said the mother, who was teaching her little daughter, seven years old. to spell. "T o z e," answered the child. "No, dear.that's not right. Toes spells toes."J "But it sounds t o z e." "I know it, but you cancot go by the sound." Then, in order to enforce this proposition the mother called on her daughter to spell froze. 'F r o e s," said th6 child. "No, you're wrong again. This time we do use the z and spell the word f r o z e." "Now,-Epell rose," said the mother. Tho child hesitated. Finally she said, "I don't know whether vo say rozeorroes, and really I don't know that either way would le right." "Spell it r o s e," said the mother, though there ia another word pro nounced just like it that's spelled r o e b. I hat word is the name of the spawn of fishes." The poor little girl looked very miserable. Just on more word," Baid the mother; "tell me how you spell blows." "Well," said the child, who had quite enough nonsense, as she viewed it, from her mother, and had sud denly made up her mind to pay back the kind, "I spell it three ways, I spell it b 1 o 8 efor breakfast, b 1 o e 8 for dinner, and b 1 o z e for supper." "1 spell it b 1 o w 8 all the time," said the mother. The child said nothing for a mint nteor two. Then, looking up, sh solemnly remarked : "I think, mamma, that the Eog lish language was made for persons very, very well educated." Does the Statnte of Limitation ApplyT Washington, Dec. 31 Judge Mc Gomas today overruled the demurrers filed by the attorneys of Howgate.. to three indictments returned by the grand jury. Captian Howgate was arraingried and pleaded not guilty, but appended a further plea that the indictment was not found with in three years after the offense there in charged were committed. The question as to whether the indict ments were barred by the statnte of li nitationa was thereupon argued. , KENTUO KY'S DISGRACE. An Ohio Judge Compelled to Ignore l.xlradltlon. Papers from the nine Gram Mate in Crder to Protect the Accused from Relnig Lynched.

Hampton fled to this city and was arrested this morning.- W W Penn presented himself in court with extiadition papers, in which there was not a flaw. When Hampton was brought into court his face ass sumed a sickly hue and he trembled so violently that he could hardly as sume a standiiig position. Stretch ing out his long gaunt arms to the Judge he 'moaned: "Qb, Massa Judge, don' send me to Kentucky. 1 aint no coward, but dey wants to lynch me. Dat's de way dey do down dah. I seed em do it. Ise got letters from my friends teilin me dey wud string me up. Doan send me back, Jedge, I'll have no chance." Judge Buckwalter asked Mr. Penn if he had heard of. such threats. "Yes . sir," was the answer Then the court, with his finger pointed at the deputy sheriff snd said: "Four months ago I sent on extradition papers a fugitive from justice into Kentucky. He was ynched soon after be left the train The authorities broke their word with this court. The State of Kentucky broke faith with her sister State of Ohio in the protection of human life. I will not Bend this man away from these courts until I have a letter from your Governor and from the presiding Judge of your district that Hampton's life will hot be placed in jeopardy, and that he will be given a fair and im partial trial."

It is a sad plight when a young man is in love and wants to give vent to his innermost feeling by gathering his love in a warm em brace, and meets with resistance, such as is told on a certain young man yet in town, but not bo much in love : "No," she said imperiously. "You crush my heart," he pro tested. "Better thy heart," she answered, "than my sleeves."
