I CITY BECOMES OWNER , ' OF STREET CAR PROPERTY No Buyer Appears at Auction and Concord Gets It To Pay For $33,000 Debt. Another chapter in the history of : the local street car system was eom ■ pleted this morning when the ear ■ line, heretofore the property of the . North Carolina Public Service Oom i Piny, became the property of the ■ <aitp •ot' Concord. The transfer of the holdings of the North Carolina Public Service Company in Concord came about as , a result of the failure of the Ser , vice Company to pay paving as sessments amounting to $33,853.86. Notice had been given on Novem ber 0 that the tax collector ‘Would sell the “franchise granted by the city of Concord, and all property, real and personal, of the Street Railway System.” It was stated iu the notice of lhe sale, however, that nh bid would be received unless suf ficient in amount to discharge all the taxes due together with nil costs and expenses of the sale. The time set for the auction was 11 o'clock but, with the exception of the city officials. Joe Robertson, of Salisbury, representative of the Ser vice Co., and a few curious onlook ers, no one appeared. There were no bidders on th'e railway and as a re sult the entire property passed to the city. Street, ear service ceased In Con cord nlmost. six months ago, r(ie Company operating showing that they wore operating at a loss. Ef forts were made to secure a pur chaser but the investment did not seem tempting to captalists. The city’s ownership of the railway comes as a result of the failure to find a purchaser. Persons, who are acquainted with the value of the street enr com pany’s property, dee'nred that it : will not bring anything like the 1 price which it is costing the city. The lot on West Depot Street, on which are situated the car barns, is said to have a valuation of-approxi- i mately $6,000. The other property is : Mid to be qf little value. There is little likelihood of resuming street car service at am early date. Smile at This One!

J The death angel came last Wed Jiesday evening about 4 o'clock and erelieved Mrs. Malinda Mann, of her suffering,—a visitor she had longed to j see for a time, as she had been prac | tieally helpless for many years. The was one of the oldest, if 'not the old est persons in the county, having al most reached the century mark, being , !H years, 5 months ami 5 days old. Dining her long and useful life she had been a help ami blessing to the motherhood of this and adjoining coun ties, and the hundreds and hundreds who passed by her casket and viewed her beautiful features, felt a real friend had gone and tears of sincere love were shed for her. , She came from an aristocratic fa»- lly. a daughter of Mr.ramT Mrs. M nali Love, and was married in young womanhood to Dock Mann. To this union were born ten children, nine of whom are living and all were present at the burial except one. The daugh ters arc: Mesdames M. L. Goodman, Mt. Plea-ant, L. C. Little, Concord: E. A. Furr. Stanfield; W. Little, Lo cust; L. W. Honey-cult, Unionville; R. N. Furr, Albemarle. The sons are: ,T. L. Maim, of McKinney, Tex; J. A., and W. D., of Stanfield. There are six living grandchildren and pos sibly 175 great grandchildren, the number not being known, neither the number of great groat grandchildren. The deceased made her home witff her daughter. Mrs. Williamson Little, and was given every attention. Although helpless and requiring the cont'uual care of members of the fam ily she was loved as few aged persons are. She was not scorned and wished out of the way as many grandmothers are, and the grief of the bereaved ones was pathetic. Until some years ago she had been a member of Love's Chapel Methodist Church, when she transferred her membership to Beulah Presbyterian Church. Interment was made in the ceme tery at Love’s Chapel, following a 1 short service in the church by her pastor, ltev. T. F. Honeycutt. The house was filled many times be youd its capacity and the casket bank ed with beautiful flowers, which gave their silent testimony of love. S.
