CONCORD NOTES.
Editor Erokanae:

Editor Ercbange:
hope this will find a place iu
your columns. The weather has been
very pleasant here for the last few
weeks, aud cotton has been almost
gathered. People are now beginning
to realize what they are going to
make, and their prospects of paying
out Of debt this year. Farmers raise
a great deal of cotton in this neigh.
borhood. If they could skip one
year of expenses and catch up, they
could quit raising cotton. think
that crops are some better than ex>
pected, corn making from 8 to 10
bbls. per acre.
We are all in good spirits, with
the exception of few long-faced
Republicans.
Most of our district schools begun
to-day, or will begin in few weeks.
Our school in Concord has been in
session since the 18th of August.
This speaks well for neighborhood,
to keep a good school while most
others are stopped. The people have
found out the necessity for education,
and intend to have a good school.
We have Primary, High School
and Academy course.
We have Literary Debating So
ciety-the "Appolonion, Jr."-con-
nected with the school. We have
kept up the Society for more than
two months, and has been increasing
in mem bers, speakers and attendance
ever since we organized. Our regular
meetings are held on Saturday, when
we always have good time. Some
of our most interesting debates were
on " Art and Nature" " Should In
toxicating Liquors be abolished from
the United States ?" and (Which
has the Most influence over man,
woman or money!" The latter was
debated last Saturday night by Messrs.
w. M. Lowery, j. n Fite and E.
E. Bodkins, on the affirmative, and
Messrs. w. E. Fite and w. A. Phil,
lips on the negative. AS the inhu-
ence of women on some of the speak>
ers was bearing heavier than their
purses, it was decided against the
negative. Yours respectfully,
w. A. PHILLIPS.

Shot His Father.

News reached here yesterday that
Luther Warner, lad some sixteen or
seventeen yeare of age, had shot his
father with pistol, the ball striking
a rib and glancing around to the back,
from whence it was extracted. 1t
seems that the young man was in
liquor, when his father ordered him
to go home, but he refused and shot
him. The father asked that he be
not indicted. Mr.. Warner is unfor-
tunate indeed. 1t was his house
which burned at Trezevant last week,
mentio.. of which was made in these
columns. He has the sympathy OF
many warm friends.

quan Circle in this town. After an in
formal discussion of the subject and a
conclusion to organize such an associa-
ton, Miss K. l.. Storm was chosen
president, the other officers being de-
ferred until a subsequent meeting.
They will take up a course of reading
mapped out by the Chqtququaa, COM
prising forty minutes of reading each
day. The first course of reading will
be on Greek history. The meetings
will be held at the residences of the
different members of the circle, on Fri
day evenings, for review of the lessons
and other literary conversation, and it
will be a kindness for persons not con-

that the members want this evening

Tenperanoe Meeting.

A talr sized temperance meeting was
held at the Town Hall on Sunday af-
ternOOn, under the auspices of the
WOman's Christian Temperance Union.
After singing by the NJ. +. Choir, and
prayer by the Rev. J. B. Quigg. Mr..
Herman Roe was introduced as the
speaker Of the occasion, and for half
hour he dwelt earnestly upon the evils
growing out of the use of intoxicating
drinks, noting especially the bad exam
pies emanating from the Executive
Mansion, halls of legislation, and 9TH
ers, whose influence ought to be for
good.
Rev. Mr.. Quigg followed, stating
that a. minister of the Methodist
Church he could not do otherwise than
fight the evils of the liquor traffic. be-
cause the Discipline of the Church
made its use in any form as a beverage
an offence, and no member could use
liquor as beverage, sign applications
for its sale, or rent property for the
same, without making himself liable to
be dismembered for encouraging i'm
morality. He also stated that the
General Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church had taken the same position
on the liquor question.
Some Of the audience had anticipa-
ted that the meeting was called for a
specific and definite local object, per-
tanning to its sale in our midst, and to
this extent were disappointed. 1t is
the design, we believe, to hold these
meetings in the Town Hall, every Sun
day afternoon.

B. FRANK CUMMINs, who resides
near Leipsic, drove into Smyrna on
Saturday evening last, in a York wa
gon, and securely hitched his horse,
while he proceeded to attend to the
business which brought him here.
Having transacted his business he re-
turned to the place where he had left
his team, but was startled to find that
horse and wagon had disappeared, and
the only evidence that either had exist
ed was a neatly cut piece of hitching-
strap, which hung dangling to the post.
Visions OfhOrse thieves flOated through
Mr.. G. S mind and he started on tour
of investigation, which resulted in find
ing the horse and wagon safe at home,
whittier the animal had proceeded as
as soon as he was cut loose. Mr.. Cum
Minis says that if he could go into eau
Gus for about five minutes with the mis-
creant who cut his hitching-strap, he
would feel amply repaid for his scare.

Letter from T1enton.

Mr.. EDITOR:-The Rev. Mr.. Lucas
has returned, filling his appointments
to the delight of his people OH last
Sabbath. His wife was not able to re-
turn with him, but hopes tn be able to
join him the last of the week.
There are a few cases of diphtberia
in the neighborhood, but none in town.
There was a public meeting in the
Town Hall, last Wednesday evening.
to devise some plan whereby the school
could be divided, and an assistant
teacher employed, as there are sixty
two pupils in KentOn alone and one
hundred and three on the school record
for last year.
The committee was requested to adj
vertise for an occasional meeting of the
voters to grant them the privilege of
moving the furniture from the school
house, which is unfit to hold school in
in cold weather, and is not worth re-
pairing, to a room or rooms in Kepton.
This is all the friends of education ask
as they will contribute money to nav
all expenses incurred thereby. Our
school tax is but forty cents on the
500, and not one cent more is asked
for by tax, yet there is talk of consider
able opposition by those who defeated
the new schoolhOuse project last

Too Bad for ives, Cbesta-.-

"Peck's Bad Boy" which was exhi-
bited here nearly year ago, is still
circusing around, generally with but
little interference because Of its doubt
ful character, and, we presume, bring
ing in good returns to the manager.
Sometimes, however, it is interfered
with ON the score of morality, as the
following from the Philadelphia Record
will show:
The people of West Chester are
deeply involved in a controversy con-
corning the merits and dement's of the
play entitled Peck's Bad Boy" This
is due to the refusal of the Chief Bur-
CESS, DIR. J. B. Wood, to issue a license
to theatrical company to produce
that play in the Town Hall, of that
town. The Chief Burgess bases his re-
fusal on the ground that the piece
wOnld prove highly detrimental to the
rising generation. In this opinion he
is backed up by three of the five Bor-
ough COuncilmen and many of the
solid citizens of West Chester. On the
other hand there are many prominent
residents who openly declare that DIR.
Woods action is illiberal and unjust.
while all the young folks are a unit in
denouncing the Chief Burgess course. /"
