THOUGHTS OF A PASSER-BY.
'ot Hewn Out byjlwirs of Work lint
Hrokeii (Hi ot Itoujrli Edes-I'ickwl
at IJiuidom and IVx-kelod fo Leisure
Hours. .
Instead of cautioning you toJ
"burn th;s" or "bo suro and de
"stroy thiV it might bo tiuch
rnore appropriate to pleiSl for
'you not to do so if I ever expect
to see Jt again. It is merely a
resume of idle thoughts or as
Mr. Avery, the talented writer
of the Charlotte Ohscrver, would
say "A variety of idle comment."
I only . wish it could bo so sarcas
tic as the sayings of the railroad
'promoter, Page, but don't think
hi the beaming 'hatFani'a Pagd
man iust because I adrjtre his
writing for possibly I am a Jus--W oi iuo uu, iuu,
t.'5i.w. Mw,.,t . lavl'he? Some of us tliojgh know
Clark Methods!.
Prom all appearances these
days' Cot) cord is reaching out m
every direction grasping somo
thing that will in a few more
years add several thousand to Messrs. Bright .and Wilkie have
its nearly nine thousand mark j been found guilty of fradulent
now. Some one, who seems toUSGOf the mail servico in the
know whereof he speaks and has carrying on the Amos Owen
been able to accumulate some of : cherry Tree business, Judge
this world's profits, has pre-,
dieted that in ten years Concord
will have a population o 23,(00.

ones live to see it. A movement
is now on 'foot, but we must keep
"mum," that will, if carried
through, help Concord more
than any one thing that has ever
come its way. But like unto the
fellow who was asking another's
opinion as to the different kinds
of sufferings and tortures the
unfortunate ones would have to
bear in hell, "just wait, and see.
A rumor has in some way been
started that a man once lost $200
in the old Castor building which
is now being torn down to give
place to another improvement
for'our town, and eaclr day some
one asks Mr. Graeber, who has
the contract to teir it away he
also receiving the, material, if he
has yst mnde the find. Tho two
hundred has not shown u-,
but before it does it
would be well I believe
that tho corporation and Mr.
Graeber formulate some agree
ment as to who shall become tho
owner th (possessors of the dirt
I5r the purchaser of the old hyn
bf r. In ca 3 it has fallen through
the budding and is on the
grojjnd it would look like a clear
case but how about it if it is in
tTie building. Take tho case.
Had you 'ever thought about
the number of secret organiza
tions Concord has. One would
hardly think that there were so
many secrets amongst our peo
ple. If there were only one hall
in the town suitable for the
holding c these "signs-pass-wordsgrjps"
meetings each
lodge could have a meeting just
every two weeks, there being
twelve, Ibelfcvo. Some of"us of
'fernint" these
course are
secret orders as it deprives jis of
telling our. Wives everything . so
would bo bet try to tell the female
member of the family nothing
.for these days they find oitjvictcd at the July term of Bun-
everythinaf in this day of wo
man's clubs.'
I heard a friend of
mincj seme 'days ago say that ho
had in his head about lourteen

a resident of No. 10 township.

it miirht be well for the victims
here to confess among them
selves that they erred and by
thoroughly organizing they can
elect a representative bedy to
go to Charlotte and put in tho
amount of the claims due some
of our single ladies and married
ladies too. Concord has quite a
number of victims.
But enough of this for one
time, while perhaps in time I
will "dronin" atrain. Though I
am not much of an admirer, I will i
