Lewis Ritch, of Salisbury, son of
the late Mark Ritch who once lived
in Concord, died Sunday evening.
The correspondent of the Cbatlotte
Observer says Mr. Lewis Ritch one
of the best known young men in the
city, died this afternoon at 3:30 o'clock.
He had been in ill-health for severs!
months, but in the last stages tof con
sumption, even, it was thought that
he would survive longer. Early in
the year, he gave up his work with the
Harper Brothers, when it was seen
that ill-health would not permit his
continuance, and inherited tuberculer
tendency hastened his natural decline,
Mr. Ritch was 21 years old, and if
he had possessed physical strength
commensurate with his moral
character, he would have made a man
in whom this town could have taken
pride. The deceased leaves three
sisters, Mrs. F. B. Irvin, and Misses
Grace and Marggie Ritch, as the
only immediate relatives, Mr. F. B,
Irvin, who recently went to Newbern
to accept the foremanship of The
Journal of that place, came in this
afternoon just too late to see him alive,
The funeral services will be held from
the Lutheran church of Concord to
morrow. Mr. Ritch having lived
there in his early life.
the remains will be brought to
Coacord on, this afternoons train and
buried at the remetary.
Rascally Work.
Mr. W. L. Winecoff, who lives
just a short ways from town, has
ndtice in this paper warning tresspass
ers that he will prosecute . to the full
extent of the law in every case. About
a week ago some one went into Mr,
Winecoffs pasture and knocked off the
horns of one of his cows. Again on
Thursday of last week some one cut
off the tail of one of his cows. Now
this is snore thaA--Miv-.WinecofLan
stand, or any one for that matter, and
he proposes to stop such work if it be
possible. To do such dirty work
must require a peculiar piece of
humanity and the law should deal in
no uncertain way with the cruel fellow
who could do such work. It is to be
hoped that the rascal will be caught
and punished. -T
Call a Pastor.
At a congregational meeting of Mc
Kinnon church yesterday morning and
at Westminister in the evening it was
decided to extend a call for the services
of Rev. Mr. Haney, of Aberdeen

date. ' ; -' ;

A Divided Wedding Trip.
A real Westerner, from near Kan
sas City, walked into the Northampton
Hotel on July 4 and, after calling for
a Maryland mint julep, sayfThe Bal
timore Sun, entered into conversation
with the barkeeper. He was attracted
to the place, he said, by seeing an
American flag hanging from the front
of the building and asked the barkeep
er if he could see the American con
sul. He said that he. had read that
American consulslived in houses with
tne American - nag floating over
them and that travelers visited them.
He was informed that American con-
flag was flying from the front of the
building in celebration of the Fourth
of July.
The man then explained why he
was in Baltimore. He said he was
married 20 years ago and that he was
at that time a hired hand on a tarm.
He did not have enough money to go
on a wedding trip, so he told his wife
that the trip would havelto be post
poned until they had saved enough
money for it. Time passed, and the
owner of the farm died and left the
farm to the hired man, and recently
he and his wife decided to go on their
wedding trip. .There was some dis
cussion as to what place they should
visit, and the man suggested Balti
more, on account of the big fire. The
wife was not willing to come here and
said she wanted to go to her old home
in Bowfing Green, Ky. They could
not agree, so the husband visited Bal
timore and the wife went to Bowling
Green on their wedding trip.
The Notification of Parker.
Washington, July 23. The an
nouncement that the Democrats had
decided to anticipate the Republicans
in the matter of informally notifying
their candidate of the nomination,
came as a surprise, it had been ex
pected that they would wait until after
the ceremony at Oyster Bay, on the
27th of this month, in order to profit
by the remarks to be made by the Re
publican committee and the President
It is now anticipated that the- informal
notification to Parker will be held at
Esopui on July 26. The most plaus-
able theory for mis coup is that the
Democrats wish M appear in the pub
lic eye first, believing that Parker's
speech appearing In the papers as it
will one day in advance of Roosevelt's
will be more generally read and attract
more attention than it would other
wise.' The Democratic managers be-
ieve they thus make a popular hit in
placing themselves in the role of lead
ers, instead of followers. . . '

Pastor Stops Lawn Party.
Cos Cob, Conn., July 23. The
Ladies' Aid Society of the Diamond
Hill Methodist Episcopal Church of
Mhnus has decided that it will not
hold its annual lawn party this sum
mer. The pastor, the Rev. E. F.
Piper, is accordingly well pleased.
Mr. Piper is a man of pronounced
views. He told the ladies that he
was not in favor of lawn parties, as
they detracted from the spiritual work
of the church, and that rather than
have the ladies adopt that means to
help furnish the new parsonage for his
bride's reception he would postpone his
intended marriage this fall to a Syra
cuse woman.
The- ladies held another meeting
yesterday afternoon to talk over the
lawn party. ' Their vice president,
Mrs. Chas. Smith took a stand for the
pastor, which won the majority of
votes for the giving up of the lawn
party. Articles which had been given
are now being sent back to the donors,
and merchants who paid for advertise
ments in programme are having' their
money-returned.
