This evtuicg I sitaiftl must? upon
our'fair city of Concord. There are
twenty-five Uwnand cities m the
U. S. bearing the name of Concord,
but what else can I do but place our
city of love as the brightest and best
of them all. This is indeed an ap
propriate name for me, day by day,
exemplify the spirit of Concord and
harmony by our "walk anl conver
sation." We not our name in this
wise: When Cabarrus was tormeti
from Mecklenburg, Union and
llowan, fchere are a great deal of uls
cussion as to the place for the county
seat. Son wished it to be situated
about three miles to the east of its
present location while others wanted
it three miles west of here.
The eastern and western factions
could not compromise the matter
each was determined to carry its
own point. The fight grew warmer
and warmer. At this point it was
decided to leave the solution of the
matter to Gn. Stephen Cabarrus;
at that time one ot the most distin guished
men of our State and in hons
or of whom our county wag named.
Parties representing both the eas
tern and western factions were sent
to Gen. Cabarrus to plead their
cause. Each delegation presented
facts and figures from their own
standpoint. Gen. Cabarrus took a
map of the county, looked at the
, two disputed points a few moments
and then he took his pen 'and made
a dash half way between the two
points, saying "Let the courthouse
be located at some suitable point on
this line, and let the town be called
Conordas earnett cf the harmony
which I hone will ever exist in the
future batween the people of Cabar
rus county."
Thus we were named and starced
out upon our course of existence for
weal or for woe, anchored by a stroke
of love. And have we maintained
that standard of harmony upon
which Gen. Cabarrus ushered us into
existence? I th;nk we have. Today
we stand blessed in a thousand ways.
Heaven's smile has ever guarded our
destinies. "When the dark cloud cf
war hiwg its dismal curtains over
our head3 far back in the sixties, it
seemed a3 if all wa3 lost, but no, a
brighter day dawned and we went
forth with renewed energies to make
our city, indeed and in truth, a place
of administration and contord.
The ambrosial zephy's asthey wail
this solemn dirge in the eventide
ring of melody of Concord's prosper-.
' ity. The first faint gleam of the
r
summers stars as tney wate irom
their diearns cf worlds' is a song aJ
sweet, angfic song of Concord's
concord. The hum of a thousand
spindles, the rattle of countless
wheels, the voice of labor singing of
lftmest toil, traffic's ceaseless mur
mur thi3 and a volume still un
written, tells the sequence to fien.
Cabarrus' hope when he said, 'oLet
the town (now city) be called Con
cord a3 earnest of the harmony
which I hope (now fulfilled) will
ever exist in the future between the
people of Cabarru3 county." Not
only have we an illustrious history
and a present prosperity, but our
future is stored with great achieve
ments economical, industrial and
social. C. E. K.

The Standard interviewed Esq. D
W Turner, of NO. 10, on Monday.
It appears that one cf the alledged
murderers of Burt Tucker (sometime
ago in Arkansas) has been seen in
the neighborhood of Smith's. Ford,
this county. It is generally believed
that the murderers are in Stanly
county and parties are watching out
for them, for the reward that is of
fered. Standard readers will remember
the note of thi3 affair sometime ago.
It is substantially thii3 :
Tucker and the Whitley men were
gambling and Tucker scooped in
several hundred dollars from the
Whitleys and they wanted it back.
They Jot him out cut ol! both arms
both legand then severed his head
from his body. .
Tucker was a noted Republican
in Stanly at cne time. On several
occasions he ran for sheriff of Stanly
without cufching it. He wi really
a man of line intoHee b.tt his weak
nesses ruined him.

wantidg to help a uoine "institution
that is building up the town, or

vings bank for small earnings, will
subscribg to this, one of the best in
stitutions of our town. Borrowers

the interest for the use of $1000 for
about six years $250, or about 4 per

of $1300 per month and hopo to in
crease the number cf shares so that
we can do stiil better. The presi

Now about Segais, lef(ire
the war I always smoked Hen
vym Clay's but siijce. the old
man is. clead lift boys have let
the brands run down and I had
to give 'em up entirely. I lhAi
the 'only place Icari get'a de
cent Sear is atrFetzer's Drug
Store. Did you ever try 'em i
well, you just drop in there
some time. You won't
disappointed. Felzer seems
to havethe knack of getting
hold of about all that's worth
having in that line, and the
fact is you'll get a better Segar
there for live cents than Line
tenths of the Segar stores in
the country will give you foi
ten.
And by the way, Fetzer's
is the best place in the State
for iced drinks, Soda-water,
Lemonade, and such stuff, if
you ever drink anything as
mild as that. I do occasion
ally. A man will gtt a little
behind on water sometimes,
you know.
