Concord Standard: This morning
the back lots in Concord were crowded
with wagons. They came from e astern
Cabarrus and Stanly, and they were
loaded with cotton, corn, COW peas,
COOLERS, eggs, chickens AMI so on.
The people along that line live at
home and board at the same place and
when they come to town they have a
diversity of salable articles that bring
the cash. They are old Dutch stock
who will welcome you with a whole
soul honest welcome.

the Bunker Hill neighbOrh)Od a few
d ,ys ago two young men. R. < l..
COber5son and K. A. Morgan, were
walking along when the latter drew a
pistol and commenced firing pr0mls-
cuously. One ball hit a fence rail and
glanced, striking the former in the
Eouth. which went through his upper
lip and knocked out two teeth. Young
Robertson is getting on all right and
says it has panied him very

in the neighborhood b IDLY scared.

not been for the efforts of the teacher,
Miss Loula Barnhardt, and the pupils,
Miss Brantly would surely have been

tirely burnt from her, but the wOollen
underclothing served a good purpose
in checking the flames. Miss Brantly
was not painfully burnt.
