Since the taking charge of Clare mont College by Prof. Sanborn tlie walls of the buildings have been dumb and have conveyed to the outer woild none of the enchanting O sounds, caused by the gentle steal ing of fairy hands over ivory kevs, tliat have reverberated through the ' hall son Claremont heights. O For this reason the public was not prepared for the musical treat teu dered them last Friday night bv Mr. and Mrs. Sanborn and the pupils. Ihe chapel was packed with listen ers hungry*for music. The program which was divid.d into too parts was headed with an octette from Soedermann—Peasants Wedding March—which was ren dered in good style by Misses M. Cowles, Motz. Lucy Lenoir, Mat tie Abernethy, Ada Shuford, Tillen gha~t, Mcintosh and Scott. The program was made up of choice selections in solos, duets, trios, etc., the most striking of which was a vocal solo by Miss Mcintosh: a duet by Miss Scott, of Lenoir and Mrs. Sanborn; a solo by Miss Stowe, of Lenoir, who with a tine voice added to grace and beauty brought down the house. Then came an overture by Von Suppe. It was rendered in grand and soul stirring style by Misses Laur.i Lenoir, Battle, Tillonghast and Ada Shuford. After this Mrs. Sanborn sang the Erlking, by Schubert, in her line and power . ful style. Toe program was then ended with a trio by Misses Stowe, Mcintosh and Abernethy. ' To Mr. Sanborn much credit is due for the fine manner in which he | Las trained his pupils. | How is it that Hickory don't get the SoO fair premium this year? We are not kicking but this is tlie only fair that complied with State require ments up to the time of deciding upon who deserved the premium. The time was put oIT a month and then the requirements were complied with by other fairs. Newton had the Sol) last year and Hickory should have had it this.

Band came out iu full uniform and serenaded the can didates. A large and enthusiastic croud called for speeches from the candidates for Mayor and both vic tor and vanquished responded. Mr. Hall thanked the people for the sup port they had given him and we hope to see everybody do as Mr. YV hitener in the most sincere and generous spirit said: "Lay aside all sectional strife; put your shoulder to the wheel; fall into line and lei s boom Hickory right up."

Ut- May He A Taltna^e. Rev. Mr. Maxwell, a young man not yet through his college life, pleached in the Presbyterian Church last Sunday. We have never been so favorably impressed by so young a minister. His sermon would com pare with the best of the preacher.- in i liddle life, and lii-- action is far 'ahead of his age. But the most val uable of his ministerial accomplish ments is his holding up Christ and His cause instead of Mr. Maxwell to the view of his audience. With twen ty years study of God's word, added to his -ommission to "go and preach," he may be the Talmage of his day. Theprayersofp.il Chiistian hearts are tor great success in his noble calling. Oar I ir«»t Cit> I.lection. The tirst election under th'-* new city charter, and the most exciting one ever held in this place, was on Monday. The new charter, the mo nopoly of the .iquor traffic, high or low license, ornamenting the square, public expenditures, the judicial acts and personal habits of some of the candidates combined to excite a de • gree of bitterness we hope will soon pass away and never again mix in our elections.
