Very 'often you hear the Re
mark that nothing fine jn) the
Wav of alloomedv comes to Con-
COrd but jthe people can not say
tn;s about: Alba Hey wood, and
peerless company, which
company f will appear in the
opera house on the night of 'the
Ulst. Music to suit the most
classical! ear can be heard and
productions of the most humor
ous nature. Every member of
the company is an artist and it
is not often that the people of
Concord! have the advantage of
such a musical and humorous
treat.
Preparations Are Being Made.
i All arrangements are
bwing
made for the reception to be
given the! soldiers when they re
turn home. It is the intention
that a ! large crowd meet them at
the depot and march to Oaton's
hall where after appropriate
speeches -a sumptuous supper will
be served to them. The com
mittees1! for the work are being
appointed and will be furnished
for publication tomorrow.

Two Indictments fur silling Whiskey
v Two more cases have been found
'f - - '
to be recorded on the ' criminal
docket for the coming court. Both
of them are charges of selling whis
key. Two negroes, John Isenhour
and Abram Brown have been ar
rested and tried. The case is too
plain for their release, henc they
are bound oyer to court. Their
indictment was gtcured through
the services of Mr. J E Garrison, of
Charlotte, who sometimes serves on
the police force here, and who has
been doing some detective woik
hsre. He bought whiskey from
both of the negroes on the fourth of
this month, John Isenhour sue-
ceeded in getting his $200 bond, but
Abram Brown Wis taken to jail in
default of a $50 bond.
Ttae Series Besln Tonlfflit.
Tonight at the Baptist church
Dr. N W Tracy will begin his
series of lectures. Tonight's
exercises will be an introduction
to the series. One of the scenes
to be illustrated tonight is the
Rock of Ages. The scenes are
said to be exceptionally fine and
no doubt Concord will give Dr.
Tracy a full house to his lectures.
Remember there is no admission
fe. i
Dr. Tracy is prepared to give
the audience some fine vocal and
instrumental music also. Let the
people turn out tonight and hear
him.

Millions Given Away. ' fc
It is certainly gratifying to the
public to know of one concern in
the land who are not afraid to be
generous to the needy and sufier
ing. The proprietors of Dr.4 King's
New Discovery for Consumption,
Coughs and Colds, have given away
over ten million trial bottles of this
great medicine; and have the satis
faction of knowing it has absolutely
cured thousands of hopeless cases.
Asthma, Bronchitis, Hoarseness
and all diseases . of the Throat
Chest and Lungs are surely cured
by it. Call at P. B. Fetzer's drug
Btore and get a trial bottle free. Reg

guaranteed, or price refunded.
