C rouse took Sam Shuford to the Newton jail Thursday night of last week. ' Mr. (i. L. White and family, of Asheville, have become citizens ! of Hickory. Col. Thornton, the editor of this paper attended the Morganton court last week. - Mr. J. A. '-Wilson, a former workman in this oiliee, is stopping, .temporarily, in the city. Rev. Mr. Weston will preach at Ma ria's Chapel the second Sunday in April at p. m. Mr. 1 L. Hefner has returned from Arden, whither he" was sent to gutter and spout the depot. Mr. 1). H. Russell has the reputation of being the best runner in town, Sam Shuford not excepted.. j Mr. H. P. Pass claims to be the owner of the best milch cow in the city, and he paid for her only $1!V The piece of wheat on the Field lot, mentioned in these columns last week, belongs to J. Frank Allen. Mr. L. II. Phillips has greatly im proved his front yard, and added .much to the beauty of his home. Mr. II. F. Elliott, who has been absent from the city for several weeks, returned home on' Friday," March 24th. Mr. II. E. Ramsour, for years the register of deeds of Lincoln county, was in Hickorj Friday of last week. Mr. R. K. Harris has just returned from quite a successful drumming tour through Watauga county and & por tion of Tenn. -' The public must not forget Rev. J. A. Weston's lecture, on Marshal Ney, at Chuvmout 'College', on Friday even ing, April 7th. Mr. 1)'. M. McComb, after constant journeyings for sonic1 days, returned home on the 22nd,' and is again at his place of business. Mr. J. M. Shuford has iv" stray, white legged rooster at his place, -which he desires the owner thereof to take at once from his premises. Mr. A. A. Gallagher, of Chattanooga. Tenn., Southern Passenger Agent of the Missouri-Pacific railvo'ad. was in the city on the 2:5rd inst. Sam Shuford, colored, was again be fore the police court on last Thursday, and was committed to jail in default of bail, to await the action of the next grand-jury. There is much ailing in the city this week, but we trust the beautiful wea ther that may succeed Easter Avill bring to us good health, and a mod icum more of charity. We are sorry to learn that Mr. H. A. Murrill has determined to leave Hick ory. He will probably locate in Char lotte as soon as he can dispose of his furniture and real estate. The Piikss and Carolimax is now -publishing a large portion of its local news on the inside of the paper. It also prints more news than any other paper in Western North Carolina. Mr. E. B. Jones, drummer for Pied mont Wagon Co., is now sending a few days with his family. When he takes-the field again he will go south, working the extensive territorv in that direction. Mr, Jas. E. Cline has a "splinter new' baby at his, house. It is a bounc ing girl and was born March 22nd. We congratulate Mr. Cline, and wish him yet many years of continued pros perity. Mr. John Fry's child, which had the nail taken from its windpipe, is now thought to be on the road to recovery. The operation was a delicate one, and reflects much credit upon our medical brethren. The farmers of Catawba county are quite forward with their early plow ing, and we fear they will plant too great an acreage of cotton for the pro duct to command remunerative fig ures. Mr. Murrill informs us that his house furnishings are now open for inspec tion, and are offered at private sale. If you want bargains in new furniture, curtains and carpets, call at once and make your selections. The gentlemen, who have so freely censured Mr. Iloyle and the Demo cratic party for not incorporating Houck's Chapel , have certainly been somewhat 4 'previous." How do they like its incorporation anyway? Mr. J. P. Dickson, of Scranton, Pa., president of the Wilson Lumber Co., has returned home, accompanied by Mr. C. M. Wise, a Philadelphia capi talist, w ho lias been looking through the State for desirable investments. Passion week services in the Evan gelical Lutheran Church, Holy Trini ty, are still in progress, and largely at tended. The pastor is aided by the faculty of Lenoir College. A special Easter service Will be held next Sun day. We Avish to call the attention of our readers to the changes we have made in our advertisements, offering prizes to parties securing us clubs of not less than sixty-five subscribers to the Press and Carolinian. By our present plan all can go to work without fear of going unrewarded, by someone raising the requiied number of sub scribers first. Mr. A. A. Yoder, the railroad agent at this place, is the most overtaxed and unappreciated official in Catawba Co. If those of us who are disxosed to criticise him occasionally, had one tenth the annovances to contend with, the unjust censures to endure, and the unreasonable demands made uxon us every day that Mr. Yoder has to submit to, the probabilities are,that many of us would just kill two or three men some morning before breakfast. Let us bear with each other. We fear our friends who give us local news aud it does not appear in t'ne paper, sometimes, imagine their kindness is not "appreciated, and we mean to repress them by its non pub lication. However, such is not the case, for their kindly acts are of great value to the local editor, materially lessening his labor; but many times one item is crowded out by another of greater importance, misplaced by the editor or overlooked by the printer. We ask merely the exercise of a char ity which thinketh no evil. We shall make no unkind discriminations. A third party man twitted us, a few days ago, about the appointment of Gresham while at the very moment the Cabinet appointment of Gresham had given all the third partyites a congestive chill. We feel sorry for these brethren, but they -must sooner or later learn that one of the cardinal virtues of democracy is generosity, and that when men forsake error and embrace trutn they are fully initiated into the grand old democratic party, and like the angels of God weep for joy over the salvation '"of sinners and turn none away, just so democrats joyously receive and honor individuals who courageously turn from, the pol itical abominations of men, and enter the arena of battle for the right as Judge Gresham did in the Uist cam paign. He is a great and good man xvhose appointment, as Secretary of State, is delightful to us. Hickory Cotton Factory. Some good American gentleman, who has exjerience as a Cotton Facto ry Siqerintendent, can no doubt, find it to his advantage, if he will come to Hickorj at once, and try to swap pla ces with some of. our capitalists. This may appear facetious, but it is true. The citizens of. Hickory want a cotton factory, and are. determined to have it. They need a practical man in the busi ness to head the movement and put the matter in business shape. Such a man, therefore, could come here and very soon secure the necessary sub scriptions to ensure the enterprise. ; j Hood's Pills cure liver ilhjC jaundice, biliousness, sick .headache, constipation. Our Business Men. Mr. Oliver M. Royster, son of Capt, M. D. Royster, of Granville county, N. C, is the Avidely known proprietor of a drug store between the Hardware house and the White Front Clothing Emporium. His father was a successful planter, and after the war, with the consequent liberation of the slaves, he wisely gave his sons to un derstand that in the neAv condition of affairs, each one must prepare ko look out for himself. Capt. Royster opened a store shortly after reconstruction, and placed his sons in turn, as they became old enough, at Avork in his establishment, keeping each there until he had time to acquaint himself Avith the business. Our toAvnsman entered upon this ap prenticeship at the age of seventeen, remaining there until he became of age. He then, after a course of train ing in Eastman's Business College at Poughkeepsie, N. Y., entered a drug store at Oxford, in his native county, and stayed for two years, acquiring such a complete knowlec ge of phar macy as to enable him to secure a di ploma from the North Carolina Phar maceutical association in September, 1881; the fall after that society Avas in corporated. While considering the feasibility of establishing himself in tins city, he Avas Avarned against it by many friends, Avho insisted that many had tried such an enterprise but had failed; that the climate here Avas so Avholesome and the people so healthy that the cemeteries Avere only patron ized by those .who died from accident. He perse A'ered, hoAveA'er, fortunately for himself and the city, and some fif teen years ago opened what is far and favorably known as the most complete and cheapest drug store in Western North Carolina. He began as he has kept on; it is plain that his OAArn good sense, aided and trained by his father's counsels, his business education and his experience at Oxford, set him at the outset on the proper path for rich es and distinction. His uniform fair dealing, marked courtesy to his pa trons, unremitting industry and keen instinct as to Avhat his trade demands,, have made him, while yet a young man, one of our Avealthiest and most respected merchant". His counsel is more frequently sought than that of almost any of our citizens, regarding business Aentures or new investments. His store is the best filled and most compactly furnished in the city; he en joys a large Avholesale as Avell as retail custom, and such is the care taken by himself and his trained pharmacists, that no accident has e'er been known to have occurred in their dispensing medicines. .He is an officer in many of our cor porations, is the A'ice president of the First National Bank of Hickory, and a vestryman of the 'Church of the As cension. He is happily married to the accom plished daughter of Col. Edward Mal lett, of Chapel Hill, N. C, and occu pies one of the most attractive man sions of this town. He carries a stock valued at eight thousand dollars, and does a business of tAventy thousand dollars a year. All indications point to a long and pros perous business career,and to his rank ing as one of the Avealthiest citizens of this count v. An Ingenious Missing Word I'uzzle. Here's your missing word, or rather, missing Avords. The puzzle is to sup ply the Avord needed to complete the sense and the rhvme of the following erses. More than that, the rhymes on thefirst four lines are the same, and those on the second four are the same that is, there ae two rhymes. Still more, the missing Avord of the second line is the same as that of the first, -with the first letter dropped: the third the same as the second. Avith the first letter dropped, and soon. For example, if the missing Avord to the first line were ''cheat," the next would be 4-heat," the next ''eat,' the next -'at." Blaze away, children!

Professor Eli slia Gray's telautograph, or long dis tance Avriting machine, Avas tested to day in the presence of a number of representatives of the press. The per- formanee of the machine Avasfall that could be expected. The . telautograph consists of a transmitter and receiver, associated for use at the one station. The structure of these instruments is remarkably simple, or deoid of com plication, and the mode of operation is, in all respects, direct and positive. An ordinary lead pencil is used, near the point of xvhich two silk cords are fastened at right angles to each other. These cords connect with the instru ment and, following the motions of the pencil, regulate the current 1 impulses, Avhich control the receiving pen at the distant stations. The writing is done on ordinary iaper, conA-eniently at tached to the machine. . A lever at the left is so moved by the hand as to shift the paper forward mechanically at the transmitter, and electrically at the re ceiver. The receiving pen is a capilla ry glass tube placed at the junction of two aluminum arms. This glass pen is supplied Avitli ink, Avhich flows from a reservoir through a small rubber tube, placed in one of these arms. The electrical impulses, coming over the wire, move the pen of the receiver si multaneously Avith the movements of the pencil in the hands of the sender. As the pencil passes over the paper an ink tracing is left, which is always a facsimile of the sender's motions, Avhether in the formation of letters, Avords, figures, signs or sketches. . Clean Up the Fields. If the dead leaves,- vines or stumps of last year's crops still remain in the fruit yard or garden, no time should be lost before ramoATing them. Cab bage stumps and other trash that can not be burned should be hauled off to some hole or Avaste place and there buried or covered Avith soil. Formerly it wras considered best to plow under the leaings of the last crop to supply humus to the soil. The extraordinary jncrease of furfgi and noxious insects !in recent years no lon ger renders this a kife plan. This trash usually harbors the -Avinter spores or eggs of these noxious pests, and to leave them upon the ground or even turn them under Avith the ploAV is ru inous economy. Burn and destroy them before the warm days of spring Avaken them into activity. The neg lect of this Avork Avill entail a heavy loss in next season's crop. Candidates Must Wait a While. It is learned that there are on file in the department more 'than 5,000 resig nations of postmasters, many of the fourth class, and that the cases Avill be considered and disposed of before any case of remoA'als is taken up.
