We don't to want be accused of be

' but there are few things Hickory
| can claim over any other town in the
' State and here they are.
Hickory has the the finest female
! college in the State ; the finest bank ;
the finest post-office ; the finest bo- j
tel; and many other things just as
good as any body else can claim. 1

Claremont College.
Having always held that Hickory,
on account of its natural advantages
in climate, water, etc.. was especially
well suited for the location of a tine
female or male boarding school, and •
having always held ourselves in
readiness to back up the proper fac
ulty, it is with great pleasure that
we announce that as line a female
college as can be found has been
rthoroughly established here. We
feel safe in saying Claremont College !
has a fine prospect for a brilliant fu- j
ture.
The Claremont College building 1
has stood for several years and a.
school by that name has existed— \
not lived—with but little prospect i
of better days until now. The build- ,
nig has been thoroughly fitted and j
fixed up and now the trustees of
Claremont may hope to see it what
they first anticipated. With a tine, j
large, and commodious building: j
with as fine a faculty as can be se
lected. "Why should it not prosper? j
The college has at its head a thor
ough gentleman, a schollar and a
fine- disciplinarian, and every branch 1
of study that should be taught at
college has at its head one experi
enced and thoroughly competent to
till such'a position. Prof. Will. 11.
Sanborn, who has been Principal of!
Davenport college, is now Principal j
of Claremont. Ho lias raised the
grade of his school and also increas
ed his faculty. Prof - Sanborn, while j
being at ihe head of the  o!!ege al x>
hi.s charge of tho instrumental mu
sic. He was educated at Litpsic,
Berlin and Vienna and is thorough'y
acquainted with hi* departmei t. !
Mrs. W. H. Saubourn is instructor
iii vocal music. Sti6 was educated
in music at the Royal Observatory
at Liepsic. Col. C. A. Cilly, is
instructor in Latin and higher
Mathematics ,and all that so weak
a pen as the one wo wield |
could say of this gentleman and
thorough scholar would but fall j
short of what was due. A. more fin*- j
Iv educated gentleman would bo'
hard to find. Mrs. J. C. \onP.uh-
I
low, at the head of the departments
in Literature and Natural science;!
Miss M. C. McSwain of the prepar- '
atory department and Miss Annie P.
McSwain of the mathematical tie- j
partment—both native X. CanVi
nians—were educ; abroa 1 an 1 '
are thorough in their department*.
Miss Janie Tilhnghast has charge of,
the Primary department. Mi>s T.in- |
ra Norwood, of the Art depart"nent, j
was instructed in the Galleries of
Berlin, Dresden. Paris, Florence an 1 '
Rome and is capable of filling all re
quirements for instruction in higher 1
art.
-
With this faculty we predict suc
cess for Claremont.
A friend calls our attention to the
13 line item on pag« of last weeks
paper in reference to Minister Jar
vis's candidacy. In the fourth line
it reads : "It is true etc when it
should have read "Is it true? as the
C) at the end of the sentence shows
a sentence shows u juestion i* a.->ked
And not a declaration made. We
notice also the word "be is left out
,of the second last line. The article
was taken, from another paper except
the last tew lines. We knew Metho
dists who would not support Jarvis
and we could have not repeated a
positive deslaration that those chris
, tians were running him. We would
not have done them this unjustice.
