The World's Famous Palmists
Here.
1 ;
Located in the parlor over
W. S. Martin's Drug Store
are the Winterrothers,the famous
palmists and clairvoyants who
have astounded the whole coun
try by their wonderful powers
and are already doing the same
here. They are thronged with
the best people of our,- city and
nothing but the very highest
commendations are heard.
The palmistry readings are
along scientific lines ami are so
accurate as to astonish the most
skeptical. Their clairvoyast rev
elations are so wonderful that
people visiting them find them
selves astonished and amazed.
Indeed, their one condition is
that if you are not convinced and
satisfied it costs you nothing and
we have yet to hear of one who
hasiiot been fully satisfied.
Last night they were unable
to handle the crowd and the ex
pressions of satisfaction from
every one, as they would come
out*of this reading room, caused
the crowd to increase continu
ously until XI o'clock, when a
goed many who had waited for
hours had to go away without
having been waited upon.
They may be consulted on
matters of business, courtship,
marriage, threatened danger or
| contemplated changes of any
i kind and the greatest benefits
received.
The Winterroths are spoken of
in the highest terms by both
press and people all over the
countrv and must not be
founded with fa*ers and impos
tors who are continually infest
ing the country.
Hours 10 a. m. to 10 p. . m.
They will be here for a few days
only.

A Birthday Dinner.
On Thursday, the 30 day of
August, a large crowd of rela«
tives and friends gathered at 1
the old home place of Miss Eva
Abernethy near Zion church to
celebrate her 77th birthday.
She not thinking or knowing
of this assembly made it quite a
pleasant surprise to her.
Owing to the rainy day the
crowd numbered only about 75,
but, nevertheless the day was
macle enjoyable and will be re
membered by all present for
many a day. Each family car
ried with them a large basket of
dinner and at 12 $0 was spread
out on the front piazza, and there
was nothing wanting in the way
of good things to eat and plenty
of it too. Of course this was one
important feature of the day.
At 1:80 began a wheel-barrow
race, which seemed to be- enjoy
ed by all and continued several
hours. The remainder of the
evening was spent mostly in
singing, talking, laughing and
hearing jokes of the older peo
ple told.
So this ended the day and all
went away enjoying themselves
and wishing to meet with Miss
Abernethy at a big reunion in
the near future. '
The Free Library.
Hickory has now been enjoy
ing the benefit of her Free Lib
rary for some time; and, to many
of us, it is an inestimable boon.
T here are eighty subscribers, and
the reading room is tolerably
well frequented. But much more
than this should be done. Many 1
of our people know very little of !
the Library or of the class of |
reading it contains, and those |
who are reaping the full benefit |
of it are not, perhaps, speaking ]
of it as freely as is desirable.
As has before been stated, the ;
Library is for all, and not for 1
any especial class of individuals. !
Especially is it intended for those i
who are unable to purchase the I
literature they would most desire I
to read, Thoge who were ins
trumental in starting the institu- !
tion and having it converted into |
a Free Library are deeply anxi- ;
ous that the whole town should |
derive from it the advantages i
hoped for in the beginning. The !
Democrat will be glad to publish !
short notices from time to time ;
in regard to anything that the ;
Committee may desire published, j
Mrs, J, C. Shuford spent Sun- J
day at Calvin Baker's. !

Mr. and Mrs. Claude Moser
