The locusts have got things all (heir own way now, so far as monop ' olixing In their monotonous music is concerned. In an acre patch of woods where they settle the grating of 20,000. factory spindles is no where. Small pox seems to be on the in- crease In Concord. Four more cas es are reported. The weather has been remarkably cool for several days. . Fires have been comfortable. This Is the day set apart for the ' 6unday school picnic. We hope all may enjoy themselves hugely, and ' that nothing may happen to mar trie . pleasure of the occasion. A club of 18 subscribers has been - raised through the instrumentality f A. M. 8myrersEsq., to the paper published at Oxford la the interest V f the orphans at that place. , Our band Is now In good spirits on account of a new and excellent drum that " has Just arrived from w York. Our good friend, "Doc." tne drummer, looks more like a drum . than ever. Rev. J. H. Booth, of Dallas, about three weeks ago married a young - man, la Chester, age 21. to a maid 43 years. Two weeks ago he married another young man who died in three days afterward, and on last .. Thursday he united in marriage a ' sister of the unfortunate deceased, age 45, to Mr. Helton, age 19 The matron of the Kee Hotel in forms us that she had peas and Irian potatoes Tor dinner last Thursday, raised on the premisies this spring We are having dry weather in this vicinity at the present writing hut' then had the past few weeks been wet, grass would have now been master of the situation. Mr. P. M. Hardin, formerly of Blacks station, S. C, but more re cently of Lula, Ga., has succeeded Mr.' Page as agent at this place. Mr. Hardin is quite a young man, but we understand he is a thorough bus Iness man and worthy of the poei - tion to which he has been called Mr. Page goes to Laurinburg, X. C. " to fill a position on the C. C. R. R. , . On to Richmond. (From The Gazette of May 21, '81.) We left Gastonia Tuesday morn ing on the fast mail Just as the sun rose, we soon discovered that we would have a dusty trip. There was , only one passenger, a lady, on board. but at Charlotte, two more ladles and five gentlemen entered. The train, "owing to a hot box, was de tained at Charlotte about 40 mm utes and again at Concord 15 min ntes. At the latter place several : gallons of water were emptied from the tank on the heated box whicn we supposed cooled it off as it never encountered any more trouble after that. We made a stop of two min utes at Salisbury and at a wood sta tion, just beyond Lexington five min utes. At Greensboro we stopped 20 minutes for breakfast, one minute at Reidsvllle and reached Danville at 11:30 A. M., 142 miles from Char lotte, and 140 from Richmond. We made three stops after leaving Dan Tille and arrived at Richmond at 4:30 P. M. We took up quarters at the St. James' Hotel because we found it more conenient to the wholesale business of Richmond. We have not yet peeped out to view the surroundings, and will say nothing of the hotel until sfter supper bouses. The St. James is a good place to stop, it gives excellent fare. It is situated within two yards of the State Capitol and Governor's man sion, and seems to be headquarters for country merchants.- G. W. C. Richmond. May 17, 1881. A Lusns Natural. (From The Gazette of May 21, '81.) On the place of a gentleman nam ed McKee in South Point township, Gaston county, about 15 miles from this city, is a pig, born like other pigs with the exception that where one of the fore legs ought to be is, in place a' perfectly shaped human hand with four fingers and a thumb, with well developed nails upon them There is another exception. On tne other fore leg is a toe like those of a human being. The pig is 6 weeks old. It Carries its hand in front and parallel with tne body as ir in a Bling, and runs on its 3 legs much faster, even, than the other pigs with four. The owner of this pig wants 500 for him. A gentleman or this city, Mr. i. S. Mallard, wno was at the farm day before yester day and examined the niontroslty of fered the owner $30 for it but un derstood from his reply that be couldn't "touch it with a forty-foot pole. Dr. J. C. Bauman, a practic ing physician or Gaston county, made a scientific examination of it and say 8 the bones and ligaments are those of a perfectly formed band. It will doubtless prove to be worth all the owner asks for it. Charlotte Observer. (From The Gazette of May 21, '81.) The Charlotte Observer gets off a consistent?) little joke in the way of trying to poke fun at Gastonia. Having one eye certainly the larger one on whiskey and the other hand us a microscope! on water, It attempts to dodge responsibility, and says: Some of the 'wet' men are chuckling over what they considers good joke. A box was marked 'hardware' and sent to the depot yesterday to be shipped to Gastonia, a 'dry' town. The drayman acci dentally let it drop at the depot, It broke open and' out rolled two jugs of whiskey. This is what they tell." Now brother, there are a number of still-houses near this place, and also three store-keepers and guagers living in town; and altho this town did elect a dry ticket, it Is not proD able that any of our citizens would put themselves to much trouble to send to your city for very bad whis key, which though shipped In a pure state to your place by countless barrels, yet, "they say" is awfully doctored after it gets there and fre quently one gallon gets to be two. Now is not this the more reasonable tale: Some jugs of whiskey were shipped from Gastonia to Charlotte. a (d)rye town, and so anxious were the poor fellows to slake their thirsts that the Jugs were emptied of their contents upon arrival. i State Xerfg. (From The Gazette of May 21, '81.) A colored man named Austin Cooper came to his death on Satur day evening last from a pistol shot through the abdomen, while resist ing arrest under a State's warrant, by the officer in discharge of his duty. Greenville Express. a Kerosene lamp accidentally ex ploded in the residence of Mr. Jonn M. Oeorge, on Church street, be tween First and Stonewall, Saturday night. The names spread and Ig nited some clothing but were extin guished before much damage was done. Charlotte Observer. Mr. Hingard Best, living about 6 miles from Laimberton, Robeson county, was killed by lightning on the evening of the 3rd inst. Two of his children were severely stun ned by the same stroke and trie dwelling house was very badly dam aged. Mr. Best laves a wife and five children. Wilmington Review. Seventy-five more German imml grants arrived at this place yester day, making some 225 in all.

The observer was fishing along the banks of a creek near Columbus a short time ago. Two men ww also stationed near the same spot. The observer was fortunate enougn to get a little string, but the two pa tient nshermen across the way had not got a nibble. Along in the af ternoon an acquaintance of one of the men happened along the bank. Seeing his friend he exclaimed: "George, how many have vou got?" George looked up rather vacantlv and responded: "When I get this one I'm after and four more I'll have five." Columbus Dispatch.

The crops of wheat and oats look well all the way; the spring oat crop between Charlotte and Richmond is Jarge and Is beginning to suffer for rain. We noticed some very fine fields of rye and clover between Sal isbury and Greensboro and Rich mond with the exception of the Dan river valley, which is very mucn worn and bad looking. The most ol the farmers' houses are miserably constructed and generally in bad re pair. They don't seem to display as much pride and taste about their houses as the people of our section; altho occasionally we noticed some very neat and comfortable looking this opportunity to secure laborers.
