THE CHRONIC A
The Standard Has Heard of the Man who
Tells Stories and Believes Them.

Tells Stories and Believes Them.
The Concord Standard says: A friend
of the Standard from No. 4 gives US in
| formation that is valuable. Some re-
ports nave been going the rounds, and
for fear they may be accepted without
protest as the truth, we hasten to say
that they were originated out of the
whole cloth, all wool and a yard wide,
by TIE most awful Of the county.
He has tod and believes as follows:
l. | had a boil on my foot once. 1t
was so hot with fever that a hole was
burnt through my brogan shoe.
9. l killed nine wild turkeys at one
shot.
,. | killed a hawk at the distance of
1000 yards with single barrel shotgun.
4. l was caught in a hailstorm in Ire
dell county that was so severe that the
| railroad irons were bent.
). Rolling a long one day, let it fall
on one finger and it pressed it into a
new oak rail. Ny finger was not hurt,
but the rail was split.
6. | attended a burial in Iredell county
several years ago. A man died with a
peculiar disease. The corpse began to
swell. The coffin was bound with an
inch rope; that was broken. When tbs
9Th chain of a wagon was placed around
the coffin, the chain was broken. When
the corpse was buried, nearly all Of the
dirt was LIFTED out of The grave, by the
enormous swelling.
The man who told these things be-
iieves them, but the strangest thing Of
all is, he yet lives.
The Standard regrets the necessity Of
publishing these, but it is done, with the
hope OF retaining the man from his
most awful practice.

Names of London Streets.

| don't wonder that refOrmers shudder
when it comes to the names of streets.
myself have counted twenty-siX King
streets, sixteen Queen streets and thir-
teen Duke streets in this town! The
same name will repeat itself in street,
road, place, crescent and square, upper
and lower, east and west, until the brain
begins to soften. We've spent more
shillings in directing cabs to Gloucester
something or other, when we ought to
have gone to Gloucester something else,
than [ dare tell.
Bob declares he'll be chained to an ad-
dress book hereafter. | suppose a good
deal Of this repetition is due to the
greediness with which London swallows
up town after town. But really there is
no excuse for baptizing the same streets
several times. One street in our neigh
bOrhood, not half a mile long, has three
names. It's a blessing to get into Picca-
dilly, Oxford street and the Strand, for
then | know where [ am; but now |
come to think of it, | don't know any
thing Of the sort, for Piccadilly runs into
knights bridge, hat street runs into
several things, the Strand becomes Fleet
street at Temple Bar-or, perhaps |
ought to say, st the place where Temple
Bar once stood-and Oxford street loses
itself in Holb0rn.-London Cor. Kate

not be very nourishing, does not appear
to have been very hurtful up to the

TITLES and Plain "1Iister."

Not many years ago the title Of doctor
was considered justly as an ono and
an evidence Of sound education and
training.
The extraordinary fondness in this
country for titles of all kinds, especially
those of doctor, professor and colonel or
some military equivalent, has taken
away all the prestige from the name.
The druggist at the corner is a doctor"
the chiropodist is a professor" and the
advertising columns of some newspapers
are e~mblazoned with pictures Of these
long haired doctors and professors"
To a nan who has been "a groom the
bestowal of "dOctor medicina," 10
doubt, still confers an honor; but, on the
whole, the title has become rather a
trade mark and a convenient means OF
unobtrusive advertisement rather than a
badge Of distinction or evidence OF
scholarly attainment.
There seems to be a growing feeling
that, after all, the title of ''mister" is as
noble a one as a gentleman needs or can
desire.
This is the title that is almost now a
distinction among medical men, who
feel their strength and rest on their
consciousness Of being masters of their
art-the good old title of ''mister," which
some of the best men in the profession
find ample for all social and professional
purposes. 1t is certainly infinitely more
honorable than any unacademic or I'M
warranted use of the title of doctor"
And l see many indications that this
view is shared by the professional and
by many who think they have a right by

Mr.. NeWby and the Judgesbip.

The Chillicothe Leader, speaking of
the purpose of Judge Higgins not to be
a candidate for third term and of the
unity of Highland county Republicans in.
suggesting the name of Cyrus Newby as
his successor, says:
This should be sufficient for Ross
county, outside of any personal predi-
lection they might have in the matter,
but when the choice falls upon one as
personally popular in Ross as is Cyrus
Newly; one to whose friendship, zeal
and faithfulness Ross county Republicans
owe so much, then the candidate is sure
of q double Endorsement here.
Mr.. Newly is fitted by legal education,
mental characteristics for the place
which his friends now ask for him, He
has reputation at Hillsboro OF possees-
ing q we'll trained judicial mind, and one
whose judgment upon points of law can
always be relied upon.
"There may be people who would not
like to see Cyrus Newby on the bench, !"
said Hillsboro lawyer to the Leader
recently, "but the man who doubts
Newby's fitness for the place doesn't
know the man."
And the speaker might have added
that he was one of the few who wasn't
anxious for Newby's promotion.
OF course there will arise the usual
contest with Fayette county. That is a
matter that should be easily settled.
United action on the part Of Ross, Fay.
cite and Highland countless without re-.
gard to party, should secure for Fayette
county, the extra judge that she is en-
titled to, and which she ywouH have long
since obtained if it had not been for
the mistaken action of Fayette county
herself.
Action should be taken at once to
present the matter to the present Legis-
lature, and secure the passage of a bill
providing for an extra Judge for this sub.
| division. The objections that have
been urged are not objections worthy OF
consideration. The action is demanded
by all the dictates of reason and common
sense. This foolish wrangle that comes
up year after year should be stopped,
and the petty jealousies and prejudicee
of few politicians should not be per.
mitted to stand in the way of an action
that is called for so loudly by the stu.
alton.
The Leader directs the attention oi
Senator Massie and Representatives
| Virgins and Moore TO this matter, and
asks them to consult with the represen.
tatives of Fayette and Highland and see
ii they cannot get together on this really
important subject, and secure prompt
action in the only way in which real re.
lief can come,
