Lo.e That Didn't Run Snioothe. Mr. , ot 20 years and Miss , of sweet lb, both ol Lex ington, are in tho thries of mu tual passion called love in which there is just no enduring life un married. But alas! there came objections from those who have endurej similar agonies and have survived them and gained wisdom thereby. So in this case mamma protested. Well Esquire Bailes has not gone any where nd the young folks proceeded by country road on Wednesday and reached Concord Wednesday night, expecting to proceed with a Iresh team this (Thursday) inornfng ere the chickens cvlighted;from the perches. But that mamma, who is so '.rood when we have headache or toothache and when we want some sweet morsel, crossed the threshold of Mr. JO Lippard's residence, on Spring street, in t he deep, dead hours of the nigho and claimed her child to the great discomforture of the pros pective groom. All the parties retnrned to Lexingtou today which is some what like catching a fox and .urning it loose for anotiier chase, for lovers laugh at locks. It is due to the mother, how ever, to say that her objections are on the account of the age of her dausrhter and in this she de serves much sympathy, and the daughter whose passion robs her of a mother's kindly advice and ripe experience is to be pitied. Trade at Home. The Journal is not a paper rying to run other people's ..ffairs, yet ai the sj,mo lime it is tae duty of any paper to protect as much as possible its home in terests. Now that our merchants here and those of all the towns i j the county, have put in large stocks of goods and are selling at very small profits, we desire ui impress upon all the fact that ir, is our duty to spend what money mustbe spent at home. Wheu the farmer needs credit the merchant at home is always iie one to lend a hand. He pays the tax that goes to keep uoour towns in every way and helps to build your school bouses and your churches. And if you owe him, don't cross the 6treet rather than meet him face to luce, but go in his store, pay vliatyou can on accounts, and if iou must buy anything, buy irom him. Tnis is certainly the best way to do. The home mer chants need your trade. Duplin Journal. Cltl'DE OIL TO f.Af THE DUST. I iilifornln Method of Making liood Kc(1k fur Summer Travel .

The local firm that secured ihe contract has 12 teams on the road, and is shipping three car loads each day to various parts f the county. It is the iutent tion of the supervis rs to cover all the the principal roads with a heavy coat, and to no this it may be necessary to secure still more oil.

"It is too soon to answer that he replied. "Tho United States may have to go back there." Senator Patterson pursued the questions to some length and ihe bishop finally pronounced them "metaphysical. Senator Beveridee objected, saying tho questions were unnecessary and Sonator Pat terson remarked that whenever the questions were such as to tiring out evidence which the majority did not want an excuse was made for objection.

We are now reconciled that the event of Mrs. B E Harris' entertainment on the 23rd es caped us, as we can present it from a more fluent pen which alone could do it justice. "The happiest occasion of the season in Concord was the reception given this evening, from 5 o'clock to 7. p. m., by Mrs. Brevard E Harris, at her home on North Union street. The parlors of this cozy resi dence were beautifully decorated with flowers and foliage plants and illuminated with soft lights, and' were thrown into connection oy wide open communicating doors. Tne whole interior was a vista oi loveliness, so m anged by the exquisite taste ol the hostess as to charm every guest on the moment of arrival. The reception parlor was in decorations of white and green; the second parlor was filled with a golden glow by masses of yellow blooms; the third was a crimson bower of scarlet roses and geraniums and the dining room a fragrant scene of white and pink roses. Master Brevard E Harris and little Miss Marie Caldwell, in white costume and pink ribbons, were present to receive the cards of the guests who were ushered from the entrance into the reception parlor by Miss Rose 'Harris. Here they were given most gracious greeting by the charming hostess and by Mrs. J P Allison and Mrs. W W Stuart. Shortly after the party was assembled, Misses Lottie Boyd, Lizzie Young, Lena Leslie and Mary Lewis Harris distributed pencils and paper that each one present might enter the contest which had been devised to give zest and pleasure to the passing hour. This con test might properly be called the game of recognition, as it t sisted in recognizing and naming the national banners which were conspicuously displayed around the parlors for thorough in spection. There were 24 of these flags, miniature models, made of finest silk, beautiful and exact representations of the ensigns ol as many nations. Some of them were easily re cognized, and others not so familiar, were a tax on the memory to designate. The con test was not only spirited and interesting, but was also an acquisition of valuable informa tion. The notes were passed over to a commute of two, for inspection and while awaiting award of the prizes, Miss Melissa Montgomery and Mrs. J M Odell. with their corps of assistants, Misses Lena Leslie, Lizzie Young, Lottie Boyd and Mary Lewis Harris, served the guests with strawberry ice cream, in menngue shells and white pound cake and fancy akos. Frappe was gracefully offered in the second parlor by Mrs. J P Allison and Mrs. W W Stuart. The first prize, a china late, exquisitely hand-painted, he rim gold banded, and in the centre a picture of Old Glory, mounted on a flagstaff aud float ing above a rifted oloud, was given to Miss Bettie Leslie, who made over 60 per cetit. correct answers. The booby prize, a box of carJs, each one bearing a flag of some nation, a really valuable trophy, was given to Miss Nannie Canuon "Concord correspondence of 23rd to the Charlotte Observer.

Nine dead bodies have been taken out up to noon today. Of 160 men entombed it is feared the majority are dead. The scenes at the mines and in the village of Fernie are heart rending. Hardly a house has escaped affliction. The work of rescue is being hurried and per ,t order prevails, assistance coming from every available source. The presence of coal damp is adding to the danger of rescue work. A fear has become general that the mines may catch tire at any time and survivors are being besought by their rel atives not to venture into the safts even for rescue work."

Queszaltenango has a population of 25,100 people, is handsomely built and well paved and has a richly-decorated ca thedral, several other churches and a fine city hall." It is not clearly stated whether the dispatch of the 23rd refers lo a second disaster or whether recounts of tho same experience differ. A dispatch from the city of Mexico dated the 23rd says: "The dispatch from Hamburg tonight stating that a paper there has advice that the town of Queszaltenango, Guatemala, had been wholly destroyed by an earthquake shock has been re ceived here. No shock was felt here, as was the case on April 18 last, when a shock was felt. It is possible the Hamburg paper may have received mail advices referring to this earthquake."
