Herring, pastor of the Rutherford ton Baptist church, and formerly pastor of the First Baptist church here, and bis bride, formerly Miss Nellie Smiih, passed through Concord Wedneedsy afternoon on their way home from their wedding tour. Thereby hangs a pretty ro mance. ' Last August Mr. Herring end Miss Smith were attending a religious meet ing at Bluemont. In company with a number of others they one morning set out on a tramp along the railroad track to Round Knob. As they were crossing a bridge a train going down the mountain slipped almost upon them before they beard it. All of the party except Miss' Smith managed to either run to the end of the bridge or jump off to the ground a few feet below. The young lady eould not es cape, and almost before she knew it the engine was upon her. She, with remarkable presence of mind, lay nat iown on tne cross ties, rne engi neer reversed his engine as soon as he saw the situation, but not until half of it had passed over her body did he bring it to a stop. Had ic gone s few feet further she would nave been crashed to death. Mr. Herring was one of those who assisted in extrica- M ing Miss Smith from her perilous position, snd the young lady wjia about the only one in the party who was not excited and frightened. She sustained no injuries save a few scratches, and went back to Bluemom on the next train. Mr. Herring and Miss Smith were married about ten days ago, a roman tic sequel to the exciting experience last snmmer. Thought the Oars Were Not Ready-to1nbnrb, has been sssigned to the Run. Two traveling men got off 1he train here Thursday evening, and one of them said to the other: " "Cjrtie on, let's ride up onhe street ear." "Go on," the other responed, "don t yon see the thing has no trol ley T They haven't got it read) for business yet." Both got into a hack, and as they were jogging along up Depot street the up-to-date trolleyless ear csme whizzing by. Both opened their eyes in astonihsment, and on inquiry soon learned how far Concord ia ahead of all other Southern cities in her street car equipment. Lest you forget Fishers reminds you about the corset sale that is going on this week. Bank it helpful not only to men hnt to erery man and woman has any hnsiness transactions.
