. , ' - JAAIESP. COOK -' - Ejjitob Concobd. Cababeub County, N. C. THURSDAY, JANUARY 10, 1895. THE FIRST SINCE 1868. Today practically begins the his- tcry of FuBion in JNer'th Carolina, Ffirjhe-fifst time Bince 1868 we haye a General Assembly not con trolled by the Democratic party The present oce, is controlled by Fusion and God only knows what that meane, for Fu3ionists themselves can not tell There are a large number of men, members of a former legisla ture, that are now in this one. Many of them have changed their colors. Of those once in ihe House, all have gone np to the Senate branch except Ambrose F Hileman, of Cabarrus. He s'ands alone in not having en joyed the distinction of or.ce btirjg Senator. - In this connection, we might say that 'his name was prominently men tioned for speakership, bat when the proper time cane his name was not mentioned, at least we have no in formation to that effect. "The assembly is new at work. Zea V ance VValser, ot JJavuison, is speaker of the House, and some of them wanted to elect a preeiding officer for the Senate, not knowing that Lieutenant Goyernor Doughton was, by virtue of his office, the pre siding officer. There were enough candidates for" the several offices of both bouses to make a good sized township. Theoffices were parcelled out be tween Reps and Po';s as follows : The Republicans nominated the following officers for the Senate: T N Halliburton, of Burks, Serge-ant-at-arms; Spencer Blrckburn, of Ashe, Reading Clerk; C D Waddell, of Cumberland, First Assistant Clerk; SEE. Buchanan, of Mitchell Third Assistant ClerK; L L Hoyt, of Onslow, First Assistant Engrossing Clerk; E Atkins, of Guilford, Third Assistant Engrossing Clerk For Chief Clerk ef the Senate, Hill E Kin, of Onslow; First AssiEtant Clerk, Capt. J B Loyd, of Edgecombe; Engrossing Clerk, A K Wallace of Ruthrfard; First Assistant Engrossing Clerk, Howard Jones, oi Warren. These were a It ia a-iff practically seV lftt Butler and PritdiaJLvl!'? United State Senatorg-tt is said that Hoi ton can fffirse "Peter wept biiiasr'iy" and this is made the It is hard enough, too. AS OBJECT OF PRIDE. ' Elsewhere in this issue we call at tention to the fact that Tuesday was stockholders' day. We can not let this opportunity pass by without saying more. There must be a town and a live town, too, to lrniBh reasons for such a day. There is an immense amount of cauee and reason for Concord people to feel a pride in what is here. And in this pride we must necessarily be joined by the people of the county. We haven't 6,000 people as has been said ;but onr population is no less than 5,500, with evidence of daily increase by natural methods and by new comers from outside. Without this latter source of in crease our population would grow because natural increase will over come all the time the ravages of dtath. Ia this is evidence of good health, another thing we should great pnue nr Concord is the best town, in the State, without doubt. We have the stuff here that justifies the assertion. It is trne that all has not yet been accomplished that can be, but up to date all indications point to a steady march onward and upward. We have our drones ; our calamity hcwlere; our unpatriotic ; our eel" fish ; and onr mossbacks. We are not all angelp ; neither are all of us devils. We have men who have come here merely to feather their own nests and to get all ont of conditions they can without giving in return one healthy boost to the town. These selfish men deadbeat all they can without being guilty oi stealing, live to themselves and im agine they are God's people." Bat we have a limited nnmber need a supply will please order quick. . : . - - Concord is a good town and too cinch cannot be said in her praise B O Powell and Charles Broad RnnM . were ; comrades in the ' " vjyaH lia South Carolina lecturing.

The chairman of Nebraska State Relief Committee estimates the num ber of families in Western Nebraska who will require assistance during Ihe winter at from 6,000 to-7,000, from 30,000 to 35,000 persons. It is no small mater to provide food for this number of people for several months. s In Kentucky, two men were hav ing a light over a woman, with whom they were in love. The woman suddenly appeared on the scene, and sailing in, whipped both men. The match is off. Some sharper has been circulating Confederate money in Germany, and the unsophisticated rural German took it right along and thought i: was jam up United States money.

Only four such coins were Btruck. It has the God dess of Liberty on one side and, a stalk of cane, one of cotton and the stars and bars of the Confederacy in a ccat-of -arms on the other side. They are about to do something in Churlotte that will-prpcipitate unending factions. The city fathers appropriated $500 to the Episcopal hospital and correspondents in Wed nesday's Observer are saying things out of school and that show light.
