This week we give up most of our

the departure, from Hickory, of Mr.

Tiie Charter.
We give, for the edification of all
concerned, the Charter of The City
of Hickory, published in full this
week.
Much has been said, suggested,
proposed, and guessed in regard to
the charter. In behalf of Mr. Hall,
the Mayor of our city, and the father
of the charter, we ask thai all of you
read carefully and considerately every
clause of this writing. Don't be in
fluenced by prejudice, but consider j
it for your own good and welfare.
It is a big step but it had to be tak
en. Hickory is not the town it was
ten years ago. This is the a«re of
* o o
progression and thrift, and we must
have the right to keep up. Don't
look at the dark side of every thing
and think you are going to be taxed
$3 poll and £lO per thousand be
cause the charter says the city CAN
make the tax that amount. That is
the ultimatum, and is put that way
to meet whatever demands Hickory
may have in iifty years. Citizens
Consider Carefully, is the motto of
the real estate agency.

The Hickory M. O. Band, which
is now the iinest band in the State,
j was out on a serenade last Friday
night, and missed it sadly by not
going into a certain yard. Some
young ladies had cpened the gate to
let them in and had prepared several
handsome bouquets for the boys.
One of our liberal hearted townsmen
had pinned a five dollar bill on one
of the bouquets, as a compliment
from ''the twins."' The boys went
all round and lost the prize.
They were out again Monday
night with better sucess. In full
j force they went over to the hotel
j and after playing several pieces were
invited into a buffet lunch, coffee
and cigars, by Mr. Frank Loughran,
, the new and accomplished proprie
j tor of the Inn.
Tiie Mayoralty.

One more month and the time to
hold another mayoralty election will
be at hand. "What are the issues ?
Who aie the candidates? Many
are asking. Neither have been de
clared. As to the issues—they make
up a small item. The great issue is
the welfare of the City of Hickory.
Are you going to stand up for your
town and help to continue the growth
it has already commenced ? Are
you going to have euergy and thrift
ttt the helm ? Or are you going to
undertake ro carry a dead load of
ballast that shifts with every gust of
wind ?
Great improvements have beeu
made. Be careful and not commit
any error that will nip the improve
ments of Hie ory in the bud. Elect
the men of your choice for mayor
and aldermen, but be sure and
choose good men. Don't be led by
clicks or lings.

Mud K-~11U V;IIIVH•
Last week we received a commu
nication from Mr. Hallyburton in
reply to a short item we wrote the
week before. We supposed the ar
ticle was something of a prospectus
for his paper; or. at least, a reply to
our article, in Mr. Hallyburton's us
ually pleasant and humorous style.
Being very much pressed for time,
we did not read it then, and so wrote
a two line local to the effect that the
I communication had been received ;
too late for publication last week,
intending to peruse and publish it
this week —not suspecting that the
lettei was full of misrepresenta
tion, venom and libel. Of course we
will publish no such letter. We
never resort to mud flinging as a
means of vindication and will not
pollute our columns therewith when
used by another.
We were surprised at Mr. Hally- 1
burton. What we wrote was with a
brotherly feeling. Every one knows
he has been on all sides of the fence
and when at last he had decided to
be a Democrat we wanted to place
| him as such before the people.
There are two editors of this paper. j
Both of them are, ever have been,
and will coutiuue to be Democrats of
the front rank. Mr. Hallyburton j
pitched into the wrong one, evident-;
ly, as he speaks of politics and the
local editor, who is responsible for
the article he alludes to, who has yet
to cast his first vote. But no mat
ter which one he refers to, his com-
' munication is false and void of all
gentlemanly from begin
ning to end, except where he ac-;
knowledges that he has been play- j
ing "Flip Flop" and that "the Re
publicans poured hot shot into him
in front, that the Democrats raked
him in the rear and that the Prohi
' bitionists nibbed at him on the
| flank.''
"We meant to do him a kindness,
but he has turned on his friend with
venomous fangs.

Tiie Best of Friends Must I*art.
How sad, to part with old aud
tried friends. The old song most
truly said :
"Meeting is a pleasure.
And parting is a pain."
We have a number of old friends,
subscribers who have stood by us
through all the nine years of our
newspaper life—whose names have
become "office-hold words," the
weekly writing of which so pleasant
ly recalls the numerous kind words
'of approval an 1 encouragement in
our contest with ignorance, with ;
; #
prejudice, with crime, and, worst of
all, with poverty, that parting with
them i indeed a pain, but the in- !
exorarle law of supply and demand
decrees it must be so. We remem
ber during our tirst and untutored
c _ i
efforts to "get up a circulation" that !
' these kind friends gave us their
names and best wishes for success
with the comforting promise to send
us the money and other subscribers
for the paper "next week.'' aud heave
a sigh at the thought of this sail
separation. We remember the
many, many pleasant meetings we |
have eajoyed with those old friends,
indulging the secret hope that old !
promises would be performed, and
we remember the same number of
sad partings and renewed promises,
whose continued nonperformance
makes this last separation a sad and
most unwelcome necessit}*. More!
than three months we have been on
the bed of affliction, and as a drone
in the hive, done nothing towards !
b
our own support. Looking over
our old books we find the names of
| our old" friends, young in years,
high in the estimation of friends and
! neighbors, holding office in the land,
and in good standing in the Church,
who have read our paper tvvo, three,
four, five, and a few for six and eight
' years, but have not paid for if, and
for this reason we. the best of friends
! must part. We weep for what you
! owe us.

Another (;ood Man Gone.
Gen. Jchn A. Youug a prominent
and most higfbly respected citizen of

lotte Chronicle says:
"There is naught but kindly re
membrance of Gen. John A. Young
among all who kuew him.
As kindly as a mother, as courtly
as a knight, this generous man
passed through life the exemplar of
Christian manhood.
He faced danger unflinchingly: he
