The Gastonia Gazette has put in a bid in behalf of its town for the orphanage to be established by the Methodist Conference. It will have the advantage of hav ing been first in the field.—Char lotte Chronicle. No, not the first. An option was secured a week ago on a tract of land, near Concord, for this purpose.—Concord Times. The Hickory people took ac tion in the matter several weeks ago. Unless The Landmark is much mistakqp Hickory is ahead. Granite Falls We have been having plenty of rain and mud" for the past week, but everything is moving just the same. The panic seems to have hit our little town as that is about all that you can hear, except a little side line as to where "Spence" is with the good times. He told the good people that it would continue if the G. 0. P. was in power. Mr. Dave Russell and Miss Daisy Icard are to be married soon, so it is reported.

A Home Newspaper Published in the Interest of the People and for Honesty in Govermental Affairs The Thanks giving Concert The annual concert by the Hickory Band on Thanksgiving evening is anticipated with pleas ure by both sexes and all ages. It was even better than had been expected. Two of the finest numbers were an Overture, Champion by Southwell, and "Golden Rod" by Mackie-Beyer. The cornet duo by Profs. Barb and Olsen was fine, and Schu bert serenade, always the loveli est of instrumental numbers, was superb as rendered by Prof. Ol sen, of Boston, on the cornet, with Miss Snapp as accompanist. Prof. Olsen is training a band at Rhodhiss, and his assistance at the concert was greatly appre ciated, both by our band and our people. Mrs. J. H. Shuford was never in finer voice. "My luve is like the red, red rose" is a dear song, and it could scarcely be sung more nearly as its writer would have wished than on Thursday evening. Mrs. Shuford was encored, and so could not give the second num ber for which her name was on the programme. We would sug gest that she should not appear before a Hickory audience asrain unless she has something like six songs ready. Miss Sawyer gave a dramatic incident of the Revo lution as her reading, which she rendered with thrilling eiJect. Her encore recitationwas an amusing bit of child dialect. Prof. Busch's violin solo was greatly enjoyed, as well as the encore. Hickory audiences always appre ciate that finest of instruments. Altogether the concept was a great success. Newspaper Subscription Laws Few readers or publishers of papers fully or clearly under stand the laws governing sub scriptions. The decisions of the United States Court are: 1. Subscribers who do not give express notice to the contrary are considered as wishing to re new their subscription. 2. If subscribers order the dis continuance of their periodical the publisher may continue to send it until the arrearages are paid. 3. If subscribers neglect or re fuse to take their periodicals from the postoffice to which they are addressed they are responsi ble until they have settled their bills and ordered them discontin ued. 4. If subscribers move to oth er places without informing the publisher and the paper is sent to the former address, they are held responsible. 5. The courts have decided that refusing to take periodicals from the office or refusing and leaving them uncalled for is prima-facie evidence of fraud. 6. If the subscribers pay in ad vance, they are bound to give no tice at the end of the time, if they do not wish to continue tak ing it, otherwise the publisher is authorized to send it and the subscriber will be responsible until express notice, with pay ment of all arrearages, is sent to the publisher. The latest postal laws are such that newspaper piblishers can cause the arrest of anyone for fraud who takes a paper and re fuses to pay for it. Under this the law the man who allows his subscription to run along for some time unpaid, and orders his paper marked "refused" lays himself liable to arrest and the fine the same as for theft. Ex.
