Boger, a , Ion School House in No. 3 and ( Number 10 boy who is so well the No. 10 Reuion of Old and and favorably known. Mr. Jake Y,,nar;tirM-r.rMCmwjjF. Newell, of Charlotte, was the . . . at Lach Place and a 1 borough-, ly Good Time Had by All Senator Overman . . Spoke at Gillion and No. 10 Had Speeches and Athletic Events 1with prizes. Yesterday was one day a of more tlian passing interest in the good old county of Cabarrus, there being two events of much interest to the people of the county, as well as to many out side our own borders. Two pic nics of county-wide importance on the same day is an unusual thing, even in Cabarrus, noted for its many happy gatherings and meetings. This was the rec ord of yesterday, and the Gillon school reunion and picnic, at the Gillon school in No. 3 township, and the reunion and picnic in No. 10 township were the event3 which bereft Concord of so. many steady citizens and the entire county of so many. From other counties came visitors to spend the day at the gatherings, some to one,' Borne to the other. One" year ago there was a pic nic and reunion of old scholars at the Gillon school, and the day was such a pleasant one, so much enjoyed, that the event was at once made a permanent one, and yesterday marked the second gathering at the favored spot in jhe of the choicest sections of the county. - Some time ago some loyal son of No. 10 conceived the idea of having a reunion of all the Num ber ten boys and girls and to make the gathering one great big picnic, such as only No. 10 knows of. The idea at once seiz ed upon all the home-stayers and spread to every " loyal son and daughter of the old township within reach. Quickly the date was named and the promoters began to get busy arranging for the big day at Sossamon's springs, a place always interest ing and one ever appealing to resldenters of No. 10. The call "to home" sounded loud and clear, reaching to the far quar ters of the state and nation and many at once began to plan a trip "back home." . r The streets of Concord were apparently deserted yesterday, for so many of our people are near these two sections that the fine opportunity to get an outing and visit old scenes and old friends could not be missed, and to the field they went. Hun dreds of people ' from Concord were out' yesterday and many from other counties werethere to spend a happy day among old friends. Each event was in ev ery particular a success. A high water mark was reached at each place and Cabarrus will long re member Augusl 7th of 1907. A BIG DAY 1.0. TEN .Lit (Oorraepondenoe Triboua.) Number 10 was "at home" to all her friends Wednesday, the 7th day of August, and fully three thousand people were pres ent from Cabarrus, Mecklen burg, Stanly, Rowan and' Union counties., People who had not been to Sossamon's for 40 years were at the reunion and every thing was as nice and pleasant as could be. CoL W. Newell ' presided and made an address of welcome, extending a cordial welcome to all the visitors. Following CoL Newell there were speeches from the "old boys," the , Erst being Mr. John Dejerneit, who 1 t tl-3 E'ate 43 years eo and l-.jf.rai. -lertt j.-slccn living in Oklahoma. Mr. C.

THE REUNION AT : GILLION SCHOOL The second annual reunion of the old scholars of the, Gillon school was held yesterday and was in some particulars more ef a success than the last year event. There were fully fifteen hundred people on the grounds and among these were many of the former pupils of the GO's, though not perhaps as many as were present last year. v . ' The following old scholars an swered to their names on roll call: M. M. ' Gillon, W. D. Gillon, Allie (Gillon) Isenhour, LaFay- ette Demarcus, John F.

The Forest Hill band from Con cord furnished music and from early in the morning through the day there was a happy people, men, women and children enjoy ing the day. Senator Lee S. Overman was present and made a soeech. Mr. Overman was at his best on this occassion and made a speech of great force and tact, one thoroughly enjoyed by all who heard him. Mr. Mebane, who was invited did not get there. ' There were a number of the old pupils in attendance and every one seemed to thoroughly enjoy the day, everything passed most pleasantly, with the excep tion cf several accidents which occurred during the day. . Af..r it' t a exert ecrs n C,. ,' FREE MAIL DELIVERY Inspector Here Giving the Mat ter a Careful Looking In to ll i Likely That We Will Have Free City Delivery Some Time Soon. Mr. V. E. Albertie, represent ing the postoffice department at Washington, spent yesterday and today in the city with a view of securing for Concord a free de livery of mail service, something our DeoDle have been lone inter ested in and which to all appear ances we have for a number of years been entitled to. The survey was made for this delivery some two years ago or more and Mr. Albertie had the old route and survey, though he will no doubt report some several changes in that and his report to the depart ment will be on a somewhat different basis. The plan is for three carriers and something like twenty or more collection boxes at convenient "places about the city. Of course nothing definite can be said as to the service, but it is pretty generally understood that Mr. Albertic's report will be favorable to the city and that the department will be asked to con sider giving Concord the service at as early a day as is possible, which would at best mean several months. Postmaster Buchanan is very much interested in the matter and is anxious to secure for the city this service, and it is most likely that at some early date we shall know more about the effort to secure the free delivery.

De fendant had a fair trial and jury convicted him, and sentence of the court does not seem to me ex cessive.
