Mr. Isaac Hartsell has bought out John Lattimore and will run a first class restaurant at John's old stand. It is becoming mora evident every day that the man from Indiana is President, not the man from Maine. The item in last issue about a man sucking G dozen eggs should have been credited to the Shelby New-Era. Why don't Hickory put in water works ? This is the one much needed addition to Hickory's long list of improvements. PAY UP. We must have money to gire vou the paper we are. Your aoe't will be given out for collection if you don't let us hear from you. Never before, we learn, has Ashe ville been so full of visitors at this time of the year. Nearly every State . of the Union, Canada and some oth- j er foreign nations are represented. Dr. W. D.

Mr. Frank Loughran, of Asheville. leased the Hickcry Inn for a term of five veais to commence April Ist 1889. At Mr. MacAvoy's request, the stock holders, though hating to give him up, released him from the terms upon which he took charge of and opened in first-class style the Hicko ry Inn. Mr. MacAvoy has contract ed to run The Masconome, of Spring field, Mass., and under the existing circumstances —not being able to properly attend to both—he in jus- 1 tice to himself and thf> company gave up the Inn to Mr. Loughran. Mr. Loughran is a man of high standing and much prominence in Asheville and we heartily welcome him as a citizen. The hotel will be, where it is pos sible, improved and will be run in the same first-class style as hereto-! fore. The star of empire moves from all points of the compass toward Hicko ry—and why not? With our many advantages over any other town in the State —our railroad facilities, our hotel, our electric lights, the low prices of real estate, (for prices ap ply to Cline & Murrill) our many manufacturing' interests—Piedmont i Wagon Co., Phoenix M'f'g Co., Hick-! ory PYg Co., steam tanneries, flour mills and many other things, and our many enterprising merchants—see supplement. Our mineral water can't be beat, neither can our climate and we pre dict a brilliant future for Hickory. A Coming Man, Mr. W. A. Hoke, has been ap pointed a Commissioner to represent the State at the Inauguration Cen tennial celebration at New York. We heard one of the wisest men in the State say on Monday that Mr. Hoke was by all odds the ablest and clearest headed youug man in North Carolina. And the Chronicle knows that ho is as honest and courageous■ |asbe is able and clear headed. He 1 . will one day be Governor of North j Carolina. Mark the prediction!— ! State Chronicle. We have noticed with great pleas ure the stand Mr. Hoke took in the Legislature and are glad to see that others give testimony of his ability and honesty. His one bill to make the penitentiary self-sustaining was worth more to the State —the tax j paying people—than everything else done by the whole Assembly. We HOW nominate Alex Hoke for the ' next Senator from Lincoln and Ca- I I tawba. What Were Their >Jatties?

Two copies of the Atlanta Journal, dated March ( Jth and 12th, now in this office, give accounts of his mis- ; chievous teaching of the negroes in that city. The Journal sent a re porter, but he was informed that "no reporters or any white folks were wanted there.'' This had been anticipated, and a reliable colored man had been engaged to take notes j fcr the Journal. He told the ne : L r toes thev had been swindled and 1 j cheated by the "so-colled best peo ple,'' (meaning the white people of J the South), and if they, the negroes, j "had their rights every foot of land, every mansion on Washington aud Peachtree streets, every factory and ' everything ' would be theirs, and j J O the "best people .of the South" would have nothing they could call i their own. After a lot more of such j stuff, he said "some parts of all gov- i ernmenth ought to be destroyed, and this was in reference to keepiug the negroes out of the property now j ; belonging to the whites. He said j this was anarchy, and if he was in i Chicago they would want to hang : him, as they did "those grand, noble men, who resisted the supremacy ofj j accumulated wealth," aud proceeded ' to eulogize the anarchists who were ' hanged in Chicago. He told the . negroes he was sorry he was a white 1 man, that "poor white trash" are! such fools they could not see into his plan, which he then proceeded to explain to the negroes, to be the "equal distribution of the wealth, which is accumulated in the hands of a few, among the several mem bers of society, by legislative enact ment if possible, by revolution if need be ." He said he did not ad vise this, because he might be shot or hanged for preaching anarchy "as Jesus Christ was hanged for preach ing anarchy," and much more such stuff as proves tlie man to be a fit subject for the penitentiary or iri | sane asylum. Since he was shot in Georgia be has been North, and last fall just before the election he came back here, where his wife has been since they first came to this country. She says he robbed her of everything of value he could carry, and she wishes he was hanged. As she knows more of him than anybody else it is more 1 than likely he "ought to be hung, and the Georgians show great for -1 bearance in not doing it. after know -1 ing his conduct, k The Judge Was Puzzled. A witness was called on to testify as to the soberness of a certain party on a certain occasion, in the court i room last week. The witness an » swered that the party was "as sober J as a Judge." There was a giggle in court, and the witness, remembering * where she wast, urned round, looked i at His Honor, and then as if to re i cant her former declaration, said . very plainly, that the party was -! "perfectly sober." His Honor is J considerably puzzled to know wheth i er the delicate reference was intend t ed as a compliment or not.—Wilkes -1 boro Chronicle. ?

You who have inhaled the aromat ic atmosphere of such p aces know what it i- to so live; to veil who. know nothing of such high life. I say draw on your imaginative pow ers for parts of the picture of the "Happy Valley ' wherein my \ tive power falls short of its duty. About twenty miles from the top of the Blue Ridge- somewhat in the northwestern part uf this State—af ter some miles of rouj/b, wiudiui* O D and hilly road have been taaversed, there suddenly bursts upon the weary traveller a beautiful scene—a Garden of Eden. At a certain point one of the small rauges of moun tains, which form themselves into stepping stones to the top of the Ridge, seems to part and form two separate ranges. Here you see stretched out before you one of Na ture's beautiful panoramas—a long low end level valley extending be- j yond the range of the eve and be- ' speckled with cultivated fields and beautiful plats of grass shiuing with j a rich velvet sheen, which bespeaks i the fertility of the underlaying soil. Here it is that one, while enjoying ! a rest from the toils and cares of the bus}*, bustling world and feeling safe ly ensconsed within the mighty walls formed by the mountains which tow er around and impiess one with a feeliug of seclusion and safety— here it is, I say, that life is enjoyed in a paradisiacal way. Here it is that one gives himself up to dream ing and to the idle, though beauti ful, task of castle building, and placing therein—in his deluded im agination—the fair goddess of his choice; and under such circum stances and surrounded by bsauties of paradise, who can say the man is to blame for hoping too much ? Here you listen to the sigha of the trees, the song of the birds, you note the rippling sound of the spark ling Y'adkin as it wends it winding way over rough and rugged rocks which form it bed, you breathe the atmosphere soporific and linger in the uncertain light of the pale moon or listen to — i "Such.notes a* warbled to the Htrinjc, Drew iron tearH down l'luto's cheek And made hell what lore did heek," as they come floating to you from some beautiful siren who inhabits the Happy Valley. What manner of man is he who is not entranced and who would not prefer a life of such dreaming to an awakening to the task of coping with the c*ld selfish and scornful world. A place where one can live—not merely exist—and eDjoy and realize what to live means and thank an Om nipotent God for a life which else where would be merely an existence Such a place is, and such is life in this fair garden where one can wish That he exiled might be. And live forever in the Happy Val ley. H. Died. On Sunday last, in Richmond, Ya.. Miss Sallie Chandler, formerly of this place.

Brother Hallyburton's politics hav ing changed several times in the past, when he was here last week, one of our Catawba Dutch Demo crats asked him what would be the politics of the new paper, and was told if it was published at Glen Al pine it would be Republican, but if in Hickory it would be Democratic.
