Standard; So years ago when tne Interc3iates Immigration convention met in AsLevnle, I t- tDded ; amone others ; f brn Cabar me, were Mr. Jno. P Allison, Mark Morrison and Capt. Chas. McDon -aid; who, by the way, introduced o that convention, his aTH the State's - f need, Col. Kope Eliaa. Being a little flatbed by the presence of a largo 'gathering of CJ ates, aad "mp-ny distinguished gentlemen from .. Yarike?dcm, Capf. McDonald, afrer ..seme .'most eloquent remarks, named his. man -as 'Elia3 Kope, of Macon." t Is is from this lapsus linguae on Us prt of oarCapt. Mc Donald , that confused old Dana, of the New York Sun which has since never rosten in print the ri a.me for the statesman of Macoii. But dnr that convention, which had for Hi jhief aim the inducing of North srD settlers to come South, a mo3t -f rr'ific snow storm covered; Ashe villa and all the mountains ; and sci'3sd.-of trying to seduce Yankees, the individual members took a hand ,t making poetry. Alter all the returns were in by cczsmoq consent, the following poem ?&a given first honors and published in the Aebeville Citizen ; "'Once I was &3 pure as the beauti ful white snow, -But that was a of a long timer , ago." , r Not necessary to giye the author's name, but it wasn't Cant.

' I met Mr. D A Reese, who once x&vl the Morris House in Concord. He lives oh. the top of the highest mountain, five miles from Wilkes. Baro. When asked ; why he 4 moved way up there he replied: "1 just ataa up here to see if I couldn't riiv3 longer." Mr. Reese raises corn, rye, oats, sweet andIrish potatoes. He's apparently happy and asked , .about every one in Concord; - Quite a number of Cabarrus peo- vple live in Wilkes county.; ; Among them are Mrs. Liilie Hix, who( 'is'dd ianir a profitable .business: a Ir.

With Col. and Mrs. Galloway liye Mrs. Kate Noell and her daughter, little Laura, who" are so pleasantly remembered in Con cord. Col Galloway is a part of Elkin's backbone. Heie Mr. J S Bell, who was raised in No. 3, Cabarrus county, resides. He is a successful mer- chant, popular man and postmaster of Elkin. The moment I saw him I knew he was akin to Mr. W L Bell, Concord's own. He's a brother. His son, Walter B., is editor cf the Elkin Times, i He is bright, verv bright. He baa the elements for a successful journalist and I believe they will be brought in due time to splendid development. r . I met Mr. Ch itham, cf the Chat ham Wool Mfg. Co. Good, warm hearted he is, Been a long time since- I met a more gentlemanly gentleman. He is thorough business and has: built up a successful plant that :tnrns out most excellent goods. His time was not too' much occupied to stop-to-pay a high compliment to Messrs Gannons & Fetzer, with whom he has dealt for a long time. Mr. Chatham says ., that several counties arbund him prodtrce enough wool to supply s his - mill. Though he gets in so oie .from West Virginia a-fine" article. He paid . a high compliment to Stanly county wool, except - for ; the , large quantity of hurts allowed 'to get in it. v VJA.;, most nourishing . school has Elian.'
