(By JOHN R. ELKINS.) I am not going to explode a theory or crack a joke, but if I do not quit delv ing into the annals of antiquity for rel ics. some of my Cabarrus friends will probably conclude that I am growing old, too old to claim a sweetheart, but, be that as it may. there is no real cause for alarm among the dear old maids and the sprightly widows. Again, while in this dilemma I am sure 1 can rely upoii the aid of my old frieitd. Prof. J. P. Cook, of the Uplift, who, while 1 was living in that section of God’s country known by him as the "hindquarters of the globe.” made frequent and successful visitations and retired with a prize. Jim 'is a splendid fellow, always was, and he is performing a mighty good work rn teach ing those naughty boys in the Training School liow to become good citizens. Sometime, not only the boys, but the multitudes will stand up and say, Prof. Cook, you are a benefactor to the race. Alay his shadow.- though unlike a June slmd, never grow less. . The Old Stage Coach.. Yes. memory carries me back to the time, when there was not a railroad near Concord, and the mail and passengers too, were transported across the coun try by means of a stage line. The stage was drawn by four horses and fresh horses put in harness every ten miles, until the route was, completed. A horn, ( similar to a threshing horn, was em- ( ployed in announcing its approach, The A revs. Albert and Dock, were conduct ing a general store on Corbin street, and j Albert Arey was the postmaster, the first postmaster this scribe ever knew. Here 1 the stage driver delivered the mail and put off and took on passengers. At this time, and on Corbin street, Jas. Wille- ; ford also conducted a general store, and j Willis Elkins a storehouse and tin shop, | and there was quite a lot of business carried on there. The residence of Airs. John J- Cross was across the street near ly opposite. The Jesse Hudgins brick store on the corner of Union and Corbin streets, is still intact as l write, not much change i in its general appearance. The N. C. Railroad; If memory serves me right the North Carolina railroad running by Concord, ; was completed to ' Charlotte about the , year eighteen hundred and fifty-six. Os course the advent of a railroad always , creates interest and enthusiasm, so , when the trains first begiin to appear 1 the people flocked to the station to get a glimpse of the iron horse. I too, was , present, and while standing on the plat- 1 form, only a lad I was, the engineer, 1 without consulting me gave a long, loud , toot of his whistle and it scared me so j much as a bolt of lightning from a cloudless sky. I nearly fell from the j platform and for a few minutes hardly j knew which one of the boys 1 was. This j bit of experience reminded me of the story of the two Irishmen, Pat and Alike, when they first came to America and had never seen a railroad. In mute as- j tonishment they looked at the rails and ! the crossties, bfit could not divine their 1 use. Finally Pat said: "Begorra Alike, < it ‘is a good place for sloping,” so down , they went and were soon in the hands of j Morpheus. Away in the silent watches | of tlie night the thunder of the onvushiug j train awoke Pat. and he exclaimed : “Up, { Mike, up, quick! The devil is coming. ] Has the iron horse scared all the razor- j back, pine rooting hogs into the depths | of the sea. or to parts-unknown V” Well, j something has gone wrong, for it is hard j to obtain the thus delicious, appetizing ; breakfast strip which only the razorback j pine-rooter grows to perfection. The Churches. I hope I am not too Puritanical in my j religious belief for there are good folks j in all denominations. However, as I j was rocked in the cradle of Methodism, j I am better acquainted with its forms j and usages. Therefore, m> mind more | j readily reverts to its old. time customs, j hi that day there were only three denorn- j inatioiis in Concord, Lutheran, 1 ms- j byterian and the Aletliodist. The Bap tist as an organization in the town did j ,101 exist. 7 But I wish to say here and j now that among those “blue stocking” ] Presbyterians and Lutheraus were some of the best folks I ever knew and the re membrance of Rev. D. I. Dreher of the Lutheran Church and the Rev. Penicl:, I of the Presbyterian Church, and other j divines gives de pleasure. The Baptists | in ! later years sprang up like a mush- | room and had to be reckoned with, and ’ i clesife to say in this connection though I they %‘long to the navy department (plen ty -of water), I have a number of the; 1 best and truest friends of my life in that church. So, here goes this article with out prejudice, as I love all Christians | irrespective of denomination. The old ( Methodist frame church near the corner' THE CONCORD TIMES' of Church and Depot streets, and which for many years soood as a beacau- light to the weary-worn religious traveller, was torn down a few years ago. To me that is a hallowed spot as in my infancy and early boyhood days, I was taught the principles of holy religion by a fond father and other devoted friends, all of whom have long since crossed the riv er to “rest under the shade of the trees.” And the following poetical stan zas so fitting describe this subject that I conclude this article with ‘.'l love thy Church, O God, Her walls before Thee stand; Dear as an apple of Thine eye, And graven on Thy hand. For her my tears shall fall,— For her my prayers ascend To her my toils and cares be given Til foils and cares shall end! Efird Chain Sale Success In Concord.
