ISth) is the 3Sth an niversary of the big snow etorm that iell in Piedmont North Carolina. It is remembered by the old in habitants a3 the Big Snow 17 inches deep on a level. It was court weeK in Cabarrus county, it commencing on Monday, Jan, 18h. It was then that Dr. Chas. Harris, who had been her 3 to court, had frozen to death. He was on his way home which was at Cox's mill in No. 2. He got off his horse. He could not make it any further. He kept walking around a big tree until the cold overs came him. In this storm the trains on the N. C. R. R. had some tough experiences. Both the East bound and West bound were snow locked, for fiye days. The East bound train stopped at Jamestown and crew faired tolerably well. The West bound hung up two mile3 west of Durham had a terrible time of it. Cuts 50 feet deep were full of snow andj the train could not push through. - They were near a countryman's house. He did aU he. could for the comfort of the passengers, - On the Monday after, the snow storm the wind blew terribly. The cre7 set about to provide a enow plow and to work its way back fo Durham. While at this whistles were heard. Tt was three engines plowing their way through the cuts coming to res cue tbe train that, in the absence of a telegraph line, no one knew where it was. The engines would take a running stait on fills and levels and go dashing into cuts to push a vay the snow. Sometimes it took re peated efforts to get through a cut. As far as is knrwn there are but time men now liying who were on either one of those trains. They are: C W Bradshaw and Frank Snyder, of Charlotte, and J W Mehaffey, of Concord Mr. Mehaftey is the only living one, now known, that wa3 on the Weat bound train. He was mail agent, now called postal clerks. It was (he custom up to a year ago to have annual dinners in remembrance of this day, but the nuinlerhas gotten down so small tV't th j ruru vers are not capable of j devouring in one meal the fatted calf, vU't sve iin uwa? ft 3 W otsxl' : Hole- Fred Wade, son of 0 C Wade, of Troy, Inst his eye in a peculiar math ner the other dy. lie was attend- ing schi and the boys were Generat ed froui the girls by a partition runs i i n :r through the school room, but in order to get a peep at the girls the '."J73 hv. bored a hole thiongh the Vhl!e young Wade had his ev: liicd o the aueerho.'e in order to re peep szirl tbe cl'iecl: of his affections jabbed a hat pin through the hole and hit the boy in t tye.

Mr. 91 ilo'imii I ntroi'iiros a Kill to Amnal the ninrtcr urroucord. From one who is prominent in Populistic circle? and who knows, the Standard learns what the amend ments are to the charter of Concord. First, to elect the fown commis sioners by wards and not by the vote at large. Second, to pay the policemen a salary and the fees to be turned over to the Treasurer. Third, to relieve those citizens, who live in town, on the suberbs, and whose lands are used exclusively fur farming purples such as Winecoff's, Mrs. Ileinst man's and Dry's from payii g town taxes on the land. The report th.it the boundaries of the wards are to be changed is a mistake, at least, such is not in this bill we are told. ihc Tlimved.

Editor Standard It is said that the prcsen t Legislature will be asked to increase Concord's taxes from 40 cents on the $100 to GO cents. We, as citizens, will have to bear then increase and I move that a citizen's meeting be called to con sider this matter. The question is: Shall our taxes be raised 50 per cent? What do the people think of this proposed change? Citizen. A Special Invitation.
