The Charlotte News thus speaks
of a Cabarrus man: "D B Porter, of
Pioneer Mills, has made, for his
mother, a three wheel velocipede, on
which she rolls herself comfortably
through the house. Mrs. Porter is
a large old lady about 70 years old,
and has been helpless for five years.
The ingenious locomotive is entire',
ly the work of her son; he making
every part of it, wheels and all, at
home. If Mr. Porter had an educas
tion in mechanics he would not
have to raise cotton at seven cents."
J A Wright came in to let us
know that Enochville can raise big

18 months old. They were ot the
stock one of which Vic Kimmons
made weigh 728 pounds, which, by
the way, was a Concord hog.
The Montgomery mine had a
cleaning up on Friday. The result

keep on getting out eight pounds.

It Was Jnst Alright.
A good audience took iu the en
tertainment, Fn lay nfgh gotten up
for the benefit of stbe Episcopal
church.
The Standard has it from reliable
sources and competent judges that
this entertainment was among the
best given by local talent.
It would be be a d;
to do justice to each
filcult matter
one were per
sonal notices indulged in, The get
up and planning of ihe entertain
. i
ment can, with little rroublc, be
traced to Mesdames M
L Brown and
R E Oibion, Miss Essie Marsha
1
and Mr. Q E Smith.
The Wand Drill was attractiyi,
because the cnaracters were at
tractive. The performance by little
Ohla Brown was too cute to speafc of.
Miss Marshall's recitation brought
forth an encore The Pantomime
was excellent but for the fact that
the stage was too dark. Mr. Lentz
sang in his usual entertaining man
ner. Miss Fannie Rogers won new1
laurels by her singing and perform
. i i
ance. The Cantata was a lauhahlM
farce. It was just the ihing to fetch'
a laugh agoing and a cotaing. The
turkey gobbler and thel bumble bee
were dandies, with strong help by
all the grasshoppers and black bugs.
The entertainment is: good enough
and worthy enough to be repeated.
Those who were there will go again
and fetch others.
The usual boisterous conduct
generally heard from the rear end
was conepicious by its abaence the
sympathy and interest of the audi-
encewere with the entertainment and
for that reason it had its proper
effect.
Over $30 were realized.

In the yard in front of the house

limb is a great distance from the

dopted which would be fair to all.
Next Sunday the old man announce

this: The first one who would
climb the walnut -tree to the first
limb should' take choise of the girls.
That wa many months ago. but
