There Are No Towns So Plucky As
Concord The Matter Was. Corsid
red Today. -
Concord may have an ice factory
in a few weeks.
A representative of ice machinery
company was .- nere ana "dis

factory. . . .
If the matter comes tc a point,
the factory will be located near the

The County
Commissioners full Of
Business.
The County Commissioners met
Monday , to hear complaints about
the assessment of real estate.
It appears that it was understood
by many that the values were to be
cut down 20 percent. In Hometown
ships this was done; in others the
cut was greater and still others the
cut was not more than. B per cent.
This, as is readily seen, does not
equalize tne burdens over the county.
In No. 6 the assessed value of real
estate is not cut own more than
$2000 in the aggregate, while in No.
8 the decrease is about $35,000.
This is the matter that Jield the
attention of the Commissioners on
Monday and Tuesday. ; They want
to distribute the burdens of taxa'ion
over the county in equal measures.
They, the Commissioners are con
servative and just men, and whatever
they do, will be right so far as they
are able to mate it

thrust upon him by the untimely
and cruel death of his brother, to
whom he was bound by the closest
and strongest of ties of brotherly
love and devotion, has told upon
mm to sucn a aegree tnat a mere
acquaintance can see a big change
'Tis, indeed, sad, . and this wnter
when seeing him and meeting him,
was never more touched by the sad
ness and trouble of this man of God,
one who has always been a strong
and deep sympathizers of others in
trouble. ,
Dr. Payne has in the people of
Concord a profound and sincere sym
pathizer in this, his hour and time
of great sorrow and pain.
Locusts Passed Ovex the City, '
Early this (Tuesday) morning the
attention of many of our citizens
was attracted by the buzz of some
winged insects passing over the city,
going direct east. Not until late in
the day,; lioweverf did we learn what
they were, when several planters
from the Cold Water bottom section
en the Mt. Pleasant road told a re
porter that a 8 warm of locusts had
struck the woods in Lipe's pasture.
They say the song of 1 these gauze
winged bugs can be heard for several
miles.' :;v;::-'r
