The Biblical Recorder has changed its form to an eight-page, forty-col nmn paper, like this paper, the Pres byterian and other popular sheets. It says it is an experiment, and will change back to the old form if its readers desire it. We presume its leaders are judges of convenience and will prefer the eight-page form. It is growing more and more popu lar with both publishers and read ers. That orchestra. Hickory is up to the notch in every department of life. The finest band in the State is ours and out of that has sprung an orchestra able to execute the highest order of music. It consists of nine pieces. Mr. Sam Crowell is President, Mr. Saunders.

Although somewhat of a voyttyeur, we do not remember at auy place, or at any time, to have seen a more completely handsome building. Its whole get up indicates on the part of its owners a determination to to spare no money that was needed to make their guests thoroughlv comfortable. The HicMory Inn is built of Uiick, stone and iron, modern in style of architecture and improvements, and is practically lire-proof. The only brick hotel of modern bu Id in Western North Carolina. It has the most perfect lighiiug and ventilation, with gas and electric bells in each room ; and is well heat ed by furnaces, while all the public rooms, and many of the sleeping apartments have large open fre places, in which is burned the hicko ry wood, for which this locality is fa mous. It has hot and cold water baths, and toilets on every floor; ac commodationB for guests, is ele elegantly furnished throughout, and is the most complete Hotel in Wes tern North Carolina The table will be supplied with the best the market affords, pure Jersey milk, cream, butter and vegetables from the Maple Grove farm. The natural resources have been the foundation of the manufacturing enterprises of Hickory and offer op portunities for a still further profita ble investment of capital. The city of Hickciy can justly lay claim to many pleasant and natural advantages as a healthful resort for tourists and invalids, situated as it is on the crest of one of the princi pal mountain spurs which extends to the Blue Ridge in the west, and di viding the beautiful Catawba Valley is on the South Mountain section. The elevation of Hickory is about 1,- 500 feet above sea level. Summer temperature 75 c ; mean Winter tem perature 50°. It is four hundred feet above the Catawba River, afford ing a perfectly natural drainage of the whole city, and is free from all malaria am 1 , yellow fever, and has an unlimited supply of good, pure wa ter. A mineral spring of wonderful medicinal properties is within five minutes' walk of the hotel. CLAREMONT FEMALE COLLEGE. The building is a large handsome brick structure of recent construc tion, and finished with all modern improvements. It is uuder the man agement of Prof. W. H. Sanborn— assisted by his wife and an excellent faculty. This school is non-sectarian and has a large number of both boarding and day students. . THE TRESS AND CAROLINIAN, A weeklv paper issued by the Hicko ry Printing Co., is one of the most enterprising papers of the section and is well equipped. It is said that a company with a paid-up capital of £lOO,OOO is soon to be organized at Nashville, Tenn., to publish a Southern maggazine that in all respects will be the equal of the great monthlies of the North. It will require something besides money to run such a magazine. Charlotte and Hickory have joined to form a racing circuit. We will have some good races this spring.

In some places, accor ding to the Star, the hailstones covered the ground to the depth of thirteen inches and wagon loads of it could have been gathered. One man was cought out in the storm and was so severely beaten by the hail that he died after getting home. Died. On last Saturday morning, Mr. Jones Summey, an aged and highly respected citizen of Catawba County. His death • being very unexpected was a great shock to his friends and relatives.

The Azor Shell bouse must be sold. Apply to I Cline & Murrill. Hickory, A'ways tnllv at>rea>t with tl.e times. uow boasts of the only strict ly one price rash stor« in Western North Carolina. "Just what I have bn«j wishing for; Just what this country needs." is what our daily throng of custom ers tell us, while earh mail brings us cheering orders endorsing our svs o o • tern. The Old Hundred-per-center doesn't understand how it is we sell so cheaply. Credit merchants never will understand it We are not here, as some think, to demoralize trade with low prices. We are in business, just like every other mer chant, to make money; but. unlike other merchants, we 1 elieve small cash profits to be the surest and quickest way to success. How low can we sell ?—shall always be the vi tal question with us. A\ e oiler you a system of business based on dol lars and cents. Bring the money —get the goods. Life is short and we don't propose to do business af ter the ordinary hum-drum method, but shall force the prices of Hk-kory merchandise down to a cash basis, aud we will fight it out on that line. Remember, no credit tax on goods bought at our store. Buy where you can cheapest. As soon as you find out how close we are selling you will come—the certain law of your interest will bring you. We don't expect mere words to convince you —See our goods, hear our prices, and then you will know Cash is King. Since we cut prices in the middle on the Ist of March business has been lively in Hickory. Truly competition is the life of trade. So far we have succeeded —nothing suc ceeds like success. Our store room is the largest in the city—first floor 100 ft. long—and as we confined ourselves to cash, we ran a patition, and only filled her two-third 9 full, ; thinking that would do the cash j trade to start with. Ten days' sales i showed us our mistake. We were compelled t» enlarge our quarters. What will the outcome be ?—who can tell ? Come into our store any day you please and you will see new goods—goods you did not see the day before. We buy goods as cheap as dollars will buy them. Fresh straight staple goods coming in and going all the time. We turn our cash over and over. For money we arranged, while North, to get some job lots for 50c oil the dollar, aud we let them go the same way. March loth we begaf* our special sale of glass, tin and queens ware, and the rapid rate at which it is , moving tells us it will be the great est special sale in the history of Hickory trade. Our spring clothing sale is now on and you will be as toaished to see how neat a suit you ! ca* buy for $0.72. Etamine oar $B.BO suit, and then ask yourself the I question if you ever saw a better suit for $l4. Everybody knows how wr cut ala mance down to 5c per yard. Is it good* Ask Holt or McAden, we cut heavy from 20c to 12J, ginghams to BJ, Fruit of the Loom to No baits—all goods marked for the cash trade only. Oo shoe* we guarantee to save you 25 per cent, or no sale. One of our very best values is an unlaundried shirt, "Our Leader," at 45c. Cer tain kinds of produce as as money, and we can use it at cash prices, but we cannot run produce up and make it up on our goods as we are doing business on a one-price cash basis strictly. Xo credit. No second price. Shtford A; SUI*FOKD, One Price Cash Store. Job work at New York prices. Hickory PYa Co. Hutnbcr 13.
