A stated someiays ago the
. sewerage pipe on Spring street
, is giving the twn authorities a
. good. amount of trouble these
days, which ljas already necces-J
sitated the pipe bemg cut in a
number of places. In view ' of
this trouble, which has arpse be
fore this time too? and the fact
thatf this trouble is only ar short
distance 'from .where the town
gets its supply of drinking watef,
a petition hasbeoji framed and is
receiving namas asking that the
Town Board, do away witK the
sewerage pipe" leading from the
intersection, of Mill and Spring
streets over to the hollow near the
graded school. Instea'd of this
pipe they asK that the pipe be
run-down Mill street connecting
. with the present one dbwn in
the' hollow.
It is claimed that
by this chance there will be such
an incline down Mill street that
there is scarcely any change of a
pipecloggmg. Of eoursethe pipe

Has Returned to His Home.
Mr. H M Brady, who for sev
eral months has been spending
his time in and near Concord on
account of the placing of the
iron bridge across Rocky River,
left Thursday night for his home
at ' Chattanooga. He hopes to
return in several months when
all of the material arrives for the
Pharr's mill bridge. Tho cylin
der peers which will be placed
on both sides, instead of at one
side as ws at first stated, will be
about twenty-five feet long and
two and one-half feet in diam
eter. After being placed they
will be filled with concrete.
These peers are less expensive
than other peers, and are still
better than the most of peers of
masonry.

urns frhat Mr. Branch Barnhardt,
who for years filled most sue- j
i
cessfully tho x'esition as agent at
New London, was .very sick
with typhoid fcjver. Tho sad
news now comes that ho died
Thursday mcrning at 6 jo'clock.

about New Loudon, Albemarle
and Norwood of orie of the best
known young men and one who
has many friends. It is a shock
to the whole community. He

' Order, and Knights of Pythias

Norwood conducted the funeral

Concord are to have clubs the
coming season. In view of this,

' SCHOOL ALL THE YEAR.
The State University Takes a Sew Step
Has 512 Enrolled.
. At the pressing rocbmmenda-
tion of President Alderman tho
board of directors of the Uni-
versity in its session -Wednesday
authorized a continuous session
. , A. , , .
i-of the school for tho whole
year,
President Alderman gave ten
reasons for his desire to inaugu-
t i i a.
ratfi tnfi now flfiTiHrtnrfi. Amrnic
them are that it will enable
young m arnwon to com-
pletethe course in three years
instead of four, it will enable
teachers in other schools to reap
larger benefits than can be ob-
tained at the short summer
schools, and it will enable in
structors to visit other schools
for self -improvement during. the
periods of their vacations.
' President Alderman's report
was very gratifying to the board,
showing the institution now at
the climax of its history with 512
students enrolled exclusive of
the summer school. '
The institution is sprely in
need of a water supply for 'drink
ing purposes, as there is norio
but that from wells.
