to Boston after fresh stock of goods
and the pork business and all other
branches of the grocery department
will be carried on as usual. OF course
the old store will be torn down as
soon as the new grocery store is fin
ished
The burning of the store removes
the last landmark that stood about
the scale shops 80 or 40 years
ago. In 1S45. when Francis and
Chauncey Walker came here from
Peacham and began work at the
scale shops, the back ell of this store
stood a little way east of where it
was burned and was the headquar-
ters of the scale business. There in
one little room Erastus, Thaddeus
and Joseph Fairbanks, held their
councils, laid their plans and did their,
work, all at one large desk. In the
same room was their only book-keep-
er, who was also stOre-keeper, mail
carrier and chore-man. This was
the ever faithful and trusty Hiram
Knapp. On a shelf at one end of this
room he kept his STORE" the stock
consisting of blue drilling for work
mems aprons, buttons and soap.
When not occupied either as book
keeper or mail-carrier, Mr. Knapp
hauled castings from Paddock's
foundry with "Old Sorrell," J." the horse
which, besides doing all the trucking
for the scale works, did duty as a
family horse where there were many
children, and also carried the finan-
cial agent of the scale works to and
from Danville. the place of the near
est bank, where all the banking bust
is a brief picture of the head of the
scale department in the '4Os. 1t is
different now. There are a few left
who saw this old landmark burn
with feelings of regret What tale
Of deep sagacity, earnest purpose, in
dOmitable perseverance, rigid econ
omy and high resolve its walls would
reveal could they but speak. The
fathers builded better than they
knew. May their spirit and example
ever live in this community
CROUCH ON RATS"
The burning of the Fairbanks store
early Friday morning brought forci
bly, to mind the above familiar quo
tation; forif there has been one place
more than another infested with this
pestiferous rodent, it would seem to
have been this building. So numer-
Gus and destructive have they been
for the past few years that the last
summer a systematic plan was
adopted to rid the premises of them.
How successful this was may be in
ferred from the fact that as many as
% were caught in one night and not
less than five hundred during the
summer. Those people who think
that rats reason are of the opinion
that they set the store on fire in re-
venge for this wholesale destruction
Of their race.
Speaking of rats, when q mill for
grinding corn was run under the
pattern shop, that was a favorite re-
sort for this pest. When they became
such nuisance that they could not
longer be endured the hands turned
to and killed a nail-keg full in one
day. The victims were not counted
but scale being handy they were
weighed, and tipped the beam at 81
pounds.

THE ALLIANCE AND THl
CHARLOTTE CHRONICLE.

Recently suh-Alliance in this
county, The Chronicle learas,
passed a. resolution to boycott
this paper. In passing, that
sub-Alliance is assured that had
it sent those resolutions t. The
Chronicle, they would have been
published. At the meeting of
the County Alliance last Satur-
day, April 9Th, at Huntersville,
the matter of boycotting The
bronicle, was discussed; and
with that wisdom and justice
which has always characterized
the intelligent men os the AL
lance, it was decided that it
would be nnwise, ilnprudent,
and unjust to attempt boycott
on The Chronicle. The County
Alliance held that this is a free
county, and a pan may take,
or decline to subscribe for, what
ever paper he sees tit; but that
lhe County Alliance would not
undertake to decide this ques-
ton in regard to any particular
paper Charlotte Chronicle.

tears. There is too much If
this dry thunder preaching
noise without power.-Raleigh
Christian Advocate.
History will not forget that it
was Mr.. Cleveland who first dar-
ed faced the ennroachments of
wealth-intrenched monopoly
that it was he who set himself
| to plead the cause of an over
taxed and wronged common peo-
pie against the presensions OF
the privileged class, and boldly
to propose the breaking down
Of class privilege; that it wa,
he who first fitly characterized
the communism Of the rich
and set on foot a movement OF
reform whose course will not bt
stayed until the law shall CEASE
to be an agency for the oppres
sion and robbery of all the peo
pie in the interest OF a. favored
few.-New York Commercial
Advertiser.
