Our -Iieorter8 Street Work anl . l the Couuty Monday morning 'the thermometer stood at 21. . The grip has made some people look "lantern-jawed" There were more failures in 1891 than any previous year. A dull razor and a bad "boy are alike. They need strapping. Julius Moose has moved in the Caton House on Church street. There are five Fridays, five Satur days and" five Sundays in this month. - Lev. Paul Barringer preached his first sermon, as pastor, to his new Charge Sunday morning. If you want to buy 'goods during 1892 just glance4 over the Standard and see who advertises, friiobt.

Mrs. PS Deaton, who has been confined to her home a week with the grip, is, we are glad to hear, im proving. The County Commissioners are in session today. Chairman. Dove is there watching over the usual rou tine of business. These Sunday items in the Stand ard Jimmie Honeycutt claims, but the editor alone-is responsible for it. "Who's the editor. The train was three hours late on Sunday.' No announcement of change of schedule', until the busses were upon the streets. Miss J.' aggie Castor resumes her position in the post office today, hav ing, been out on account of sickness since the 23rd of July, .1891. dipt. Sam Rothr ck, son of Prof. L II Ilothrock, who is telegraph operator in Georgia, has been quite sick with fever, but is now better. Jimmie Honeycutt came rushing into the editor's sanctum and de clared that the Standard must cease , calling children "kids," Has it come to this ? We hear Dr. Bays' sermon, on Sunday, highly spoken of. His theme was "Lost Opportunities." Such sermons are tha ones that ac complish great good. Charley Alexander has been with R E Gibson for five years. The consolidation with C G Montgomery gives Charles a little time off, but then five years' steady duty demands arest. The quarterly conference of the churches of which Rev Dr Murdoch is the priest in charge will be held in the Episcopal church here on Wednesday, the Gth. Morning prayer ; sermon and celebration of the Holy Communion at 11 o'clcck .am.

IT WAS ALMOST APOLOGETIC. TI1K I'XIOX MERTI.XJ A'IGIIT.' A. Conifer Spoke Koine Stntlstleal Reports Were Head Several Parties .Marie Statement. L A Coulter, Secretary of the State Y M C A, is a good talker and very entertaining, and impresses one as very earnest in the work of the, Y MCA. ' 'Ml f Rev. II II Blair, pastor of the Forest Hil U church (by the way, you eeldom a et a more practical and safe ma Jj) talked exactly right. He said in substance If the.Y M C A is 'n6t the church, it ought to be stopped ; ' whenever I'm convinced that it is not the church, then I'm done with it. To most men (and the Standard means this for friendly criticism) who are friendly to the work of the Y M C A and who are disposed to encourage it by good wishes an! contribution, the tone of Secretary Coulter's speech is calculated to have the opposite effect. His speeeh was too much of an apology for the exisj tence of the Y M C A, besides, he is too emphatic and enthusiastic in comparing results of its work with that, of the chuicb. When you make a child greater than its parent, you have trouble on youf hands There are a class that are not' dia posed to help support both, provided one does the work. It is the opinion of the Standard, that the Y M C A is doing some good work and should be encouraged but when its work is trying to be placed al ng side of the church thero's time for a halt. The institution itself would be a colossal failure without'the milk of human kindness shown it by men, thorough ly identified with some branch of the Christian church. Mr. Coulter, we think, is a little unfortunate, in coupling club rooms with bar rooms, gambling hells and houses of ill repute. Such is not the case at least not in Concord. In many respe-t3 the club room in Concord has done more good than the Y M C A. That P ha3 exerted a good influence can not be doubted. Reading is afforded, innocent games are provided" for, and young men have a. place to spend their leisure hours in a social mjinner in rooms that are decent' and respectable. If such were not there, these young men would seek other places some of very doubtful character. But Mr. Coulter, like the rest of mankind, has the right to hi3 opin ion and he's fair and respectful with it, so it's all right. He's far above the average young man and is doing a big work. The statistics read were encoura The music was good, very good. That's a strong team Jones, Man gum, Anderson and Kestler. , Dr. Payne's re uiarks were pleasant and to the point. The Secretary announced that to continue the work $750 would be required He , served notice that he would wait on the citizens to that, effect Let th people encourage the work. A broad grim smile spreads its elf over the physiognomy of the Southern farmer when he reads in one newspaper column that there is an over production of cotton and in the next column learns that foreign cotton is being shipped to this country. Do the Electric Li It is to be regretted that the moon does not shine every right, and that lightning bugs can not survive and pursue their business in the winter months. The moon makes a good light; one that enables pedestrians to see a a tree or an; approaching man. The moon doesn't. cost us anything, scarcely. When it shines, it shines ; when it is cloudy, the moon keeps on at its job and does pretty well. Be this as it ; way, it doesn't charge $800 per' year for shining, anyhow. Lightning bugs caunot enter as a formidable competitor with eleetric lights, until a system is deviled by which they can ' be distributed equally over town and kept there, but then ,he electric lamps are not equally distributedsome burn out and remain for days that way. It is seldom a bug gets hot enough to burnout, ' Tum.bhrs might be se cured to the trees several bugs plased in them and we could have a lighted town without the cost of $800.. ' The town fathers should employ a specialist to perfect the Lignfning Bug System. "Discontent." Top tea for the Week of Prayer by the Evangelical Alliance. Monday, Conference and Thanks giving; Tuesdav, the Church Uni versal ; Wednesday, the Family and Young ; Thursday, Nations .and their Rulers ; Friday The Church Abroad ; Saturday, The Church at Home. The public exercises will begin with a joint service in the Lutheran church Wednesday,. 7 p m., lecture by Dr. Bays, and will be continued in the other .churches! All the ministers and members of the vari ous congregations of Concord are invited k unite in these services. Fire Alarm. e 1 About one o'clock Monday the fire alarm sounded and. Concord with its fire companies were promptly at Iegistor Pattersons. The origin of the alarm w;as that an ironing cloth which was on fire had been thrown by a trunk in a closet and the air carried the smoke through a hole in the plastering and out through the shingle roof. Some damage was done to the plastering, and roof. He Drant III Salary. . Rev. J T Abernathy, who was shot by Mr. Crimsley at Snow IK II re cently for kissing his wife, has re covered sufficiently to go to his old home in Rutherford on. We learn that the circuit will continue his salary until the meeting of the an nual conference when he will be given a trial. "Rnrhti Is WlllenV And so is Jas. G Blaine, that is, he has signified his willingness to be the Republican standard bearer in 1892. Senator Washburn and Joe Manly, Blain's most intimate friends say so. Winston Sentinel: As a rule very few pupils enter the Salem Acada my after Christmas. However, this year, notwithstanding the hard times more than double the usual number of applications have been received. Hence the indications are good for a large attendance and a prosperous spring term. Chuping & Co. are moving their goods today. gilts Fill the Bill ? Who is it that could be such a mossbaok as to kick against electric lights? A town "of 4,200 inhabi tants ought to be willing to pay $S00 per year for such lights. They are not considered good, it is true, but they beat nothing two to one.. Since we have had 'em, I have not fallen into the ditch, nor knocked a gate down, nor skinned a tree with nose or knee cap. Electric lights are good things 1 I'm opposed to the moon for Con cord ; and I will go to war before I shall submit to any Lightning Bug System to this I pledge my sacred honor and my word. Of course, the lights burn out and remain three or four days days, and some times a week before they are fixed, but the moon does worse than that; and lightning bugs it makes me mad to think of. It is one thing certain that it afford, me much pleasure to go away from home an 1 .say that we have electric lights it sounds big, "elec tric" does. I am no a stockholder, and get good returns rom the busi ness, but I'm for any thing, that sounds big, and lightning bugs don't. "Believer in Electricity." The editor wore a light colored paif of pauts, the only pair he has, of course. It was very cold, and it is very cruel, to say the least of it, that Lester D Coltrane (who is also a notary public) J.Lee Crowell (who is a lawyer). II C McAllister, Jim mie Honeycutt and several, others should make remarks about them they can't help being white. By the way and in this connection, let all the arrear subscribers come in and yank up. D- Coram Correll send3 us an illustrated edition of the Spartan burg Herald. It confain8 the write up of the burning of Converse Fe male College, at Spartanburg on Saturday night. The loss outside of the insurancc,'is between $50,000 and $75,000. The man who prefers a city Weekly to a home paper because "it's got more iti it" reminds us of the countryman who picked out the largest pair of boots in the box be cause they cost no more than the smaller pair that fitted him. Ex change. John Dei tel, the heaviest man in the United States, died in Cincinnati ti, Ohio, on New Year day from grip. lie weighed 7C3 pounds and was 24 years old. Miss Bettie Alexander left on the Monday morning train for Greens boro where she will complete her art education! W S Bingham has a Japanese game rooster that at seven months old weighs six pounds. The roll wa3 called and all the teachers were present at the Graded school. There will be a called meeting of the YMCA tonight at 8 o'clock. Important business. II C McAllister is here today.

In 1892, Easter comes on Sunday.' A Sen's Devotion to Ills Mother. Mr Addison Coffin, of Greensboro, has just had a marble slab placed at the grave of his mother at 'New Garden, bearing the following in scription: "Alethea Coffin, widow of Vestal Coffin, born 4th mo. 16th, 1798. Died in Indiana 11th mo. 2d, 1851. Buried in. her wedding dress, made in 1817. Brought back for burial according to promise by her son, Addison Coffin, at the end of forty years. A widow for six ty five years." . . . . . Perils of Modern JLIfe. Contracts with electric wires, rail road accidents, broken carj and ele vator cables, explosions of steam, natural gas and, chemicals, poison in adulteraated food and drink, '.are a few; but all these dangers combin ed do not kill as rapidly us slow and sure Consumption The death rate, however, from Consumption, 13 be ing yearly cut down since Dr. Pierce of Buffalo, X Y has given to the world-has celebrated "Golden Medi cal Discveory," a cure for Consump tion and Throat and Lung troubles that lead to Consumption, if taken in time and giver a fir trial. The time to cure Consumption (which is really nothing more nor less thau Lung-scrofula), is in the firststages. A cougli generally sounds the alarm and you should take the "Discovery" at once.
