moas opinion of all present lat
evening that the Julia Magruder
Club was wise in selecting as! its
first lecturer Prof. E B Lewis of
the Concord Graded Schools. Prof.
Lewis has won for himself. an envia
ble reputation as a scholar, lecturer
and educator, both in and out of
the Old North State, and it was with
pleasant anticipations that his audi
ence awaited his address. In the
absence of the president of the clnb
P. of. Lewis w:i8 introduced by th
Vice President. Mrs. D B Cohran
in a very graceful manner.
Prof. Lewis h8 an eiseof manner
in lecturing tiiat is charming, con

ulary entirely at his command, j He
entertained the club with a discourse
on "Books why we read, how we
should read, and how j to select a
book,'' and closed his address with a
well rendered and appropriate yeree,

true." -

The Standard received a letter
from Mr, Allen T. Boger, who is
living at Vernon, Texas, and who
has quite a number cf relatives in
Cabarrus county.. Among the dif
ferent things in his letters, we note
the following:
"As I am .not from your. Stated

them a good paper." j
He then ends his letter by saying
"Yours for true Democracy." f

To Help Emmetl, the Composer.
A movent is now on foot by the
Confederate veterans of the' South
to set aside an appropriation fir
Dan Ecnmett, the composer of
"Dixie." Mr. Enmett js 83 years
of age and is living at Mt.. Vernon,
Ohio. He is not in very good cir
cumstances financially. For quite
awhile he has been paid $5.00 per
week from an association of actors,
bat it seems that this appropriation
is soon to bo cut on, L 7
In discutssing the advisability of
the Confederate veterans paying an
amount towards his living, Rev. T.
P. Cleveland, the chaplain of the
camp at j Atlanta, Ga., plead very
earnestly , and said that it did hot
matter whether the author of "Dix
ie" was a northern man or a south
ern man, the people ol the South
should notlet him suffer in his old
age, and that he believed. that the
Confederate veterans ought to raise
a fund large enough for him to live
from the interest, and at his death
use the principal to erect a monu
ment to his memory.
