I HSR Bllil Hickory has at last taken th tep which wiil place her o> *qual footing: with her sister cities of the progressive order, in the matter of firstclass hotel "comodations at leas* a d the **«*t will come as a natural con oequenoe. Since the distruction by fire of the Hickory Inn two years ago iotel accomodations have been -ather limited and as a result the better class of travel, and e3 pecially winter and summer tourists passed us by, going to Asheville, Charlotte and other points where they could be ac commodated. It was theught for some time that Frank Laughlran, whoown- the Hickory Inn, would, re build, but it recently became known that he had no such in tentions in the near future and the more enterprising citizens began to cast about for a suitable site, which was found, but the owner and the purchasers could not come to terms. Finally the Hickory Chamber of Commerce, realizing the im portance of the project, took a hand and as a result Dr. D. L. Fry and William P. Huffman, his brother-in-law purchased from N. M. Seagle the square on which his residence is situa ted, between Ninth and Tenth avenues and fronting on Twelth j street. Architect W. L. While is now preparing plans and they will be gin the construction at once of a first-class and up-to date hotel, which is to be a four story brick structure, sixty-four rooms, be sides spacious dining rooms, parlors, sample rooms, halls and corridors, all of which will be steam heated. A private elec tric plant will furnish the lights, and operate passenger and trunk elevators. will be rooms in suits with private baths and every modern convenience re quired by the most fastidious, besides ample provisions, for les3 pretentious, in order to meet any demand arising. The building will be so con structed that all rooms will have the advantage of sunshine and fresh air. There will be the main builiing and two wings with an open court in between. The location is slightly elevated, commanding a beautiful view of the Blue Ridge mountains in the distance. A magnificent lawn with shade trees will surround the building. Walks and drives will be arranged so a« to ap proach the hotel from either of the three streets on which it is located and the whole arrange ment is artistically executed as money and skill can make it. When completed it will involve the outlay of between sixty and and seventy-five thousand dol lars and will be built with a view of making an addition of from twenty to forty more rooms. Mr. Huffman and Dr. Fry will have the management of the hotel in their own hands. Their popularity, pleasant address and genial natures bespeak for them success. Mr. Huffman is an old resident of Hickory, He served the city | and vicinity in various capacities | for quite awhile a? postmaster in j which he gained the friendship and admiration of the entire 1 community, due to the fact that he was most accomodating, courteous and ever striving to please. At present he is one of the city fathers, occupying the re ! sponsible and important office as [chairman of street commitee, ' and as such, has done much for Ick>ry in the improvement of er streets. Dr. Fry who has been a pra'!- icing physician but now retired, ■' also very popular and well uiown both here and in several itates. having traveled exten sively and made many friends. The name of the new hotel will be the Huffry Inn, which is a combination of a part of Mr. Huffman's name and all of Dr. Fry's. The work on the building be gins at once and will be pushed to completion. It is believed that it will be open for guests by the latter part of the sum mer. In fehe mean while the citizens ef Hickory will co-operate with these gentlemen and help them to expedite the construction as much as possible. Help Boost Hickory. I have noticed that in the last four months a few of Hickory's citizens have been doing quite a lot to help Hickory along. I think these men deserve much credit for their untiring efforts to do their town a service. Be fore the panic struck us, Hick ory had better prospects than any t >wn of her size in the Pied mont section. But now as long as we sit with our hands folded the effects of the panic are going to stay with us. Hickory naeds action on the part of her citizens Let us all join in with these fel low citizens of ours, who have the good of our town so much at heart, and show them that we are with them for actien as well as for words. Let Uncle Sam put the government building wherever he thinks best. It is going to help us no matter on which side of the railroad id, is built Let us also work for a first class opera house. If we had such a bu lding we would get all of the first class shows that come to Charlotte, Greens doro, Asheville and the rest of our leading cities. We are very glad to learn that we have a first class hotel at last. It is some thing we have needed for a long time. The paper that is doing this earns the thanks of all who have the interest of Hickory at heart. So now fellow citizens let us give these men who are trying to do something for our town, all the encouragement we can and see how much boosting beats kicking. "Booster," Football Game at Newton. Yesterday afternoon the New ton graded school football team played a fine game on the home field with the Hickory graded j school team. The elevens were well matched, and the game was full of interest from start to rtnish, and was greatly on joyed by all who saw it. The Hickory boys were rather larger in size than those of the home team. At the close of the game the score stood 7 to 6 in favor of Newton. The touchdown for Newton was made by George Hoover, and that for Hickory was made by Claude Price, Gus Lswe kicking their goal. DON'T GET A DIVORCE. A western judge granted a divorce on account of ill-temper and bad breath. Dr. King's New Life Pills would have prevented it. They cure Constipation, causing bad breath and Liver Trouble, and the ill-temper to disappear, dispel colds, banish head aches, conquer chills. 25c at C. M Shuford, W, S. Martin & Co., and Moser & Lutz. To be sure the department stores tell you that if their goods are not satisfactory you can re turn them. Sure! But you have to pay express or freight both ways and you decide to keep them. If the goods bought of your home merchant are not satisfactory you take them back and it costs you nothing. More About Our Needs. We mentioned incidentally in our article last week, the need of a Chataqua and Lyceum coarse for Hickory. The people the world over are becoming more and more awakened to the need i)f education. The Chataqua is a distinctly educational institution and is especally adopted to the needs of the business; men. The Chataqua brings to our town tne greatest talent of the country thus affording an exceptional op portunity for the busy man to widen his field of information. The Chataqua lecture gives us the very cream of knowledge in a condensed form. This much then for the knowledge to be gained by our citizens. This course will bring many pleasure seekers to our town during the summer months who will spend hundreds of dollars in the city and thus go away to ad vertise our town among their friends, The same may be said of the Lyceum Course."This furnishes entertainment for all our people and for the stranger within our gates. We are compelled to ad mit that our town is dead now. The Vaudoville, or Carnival is all that our town usually affords in the way of entertainment. And the citizens of Hickory are them selves to blame for this condi tion of ffairs. Our town is just what we make it, So long as we are dead, - our town will be dead. We cannot hope for an improvement over present condi tions until we ourselves get "'a unanimous hump on." Useful and instructive entertainments could be as easily obtained as the cheap worthless show, The Chitaqua has acomplished untold good in the world -and tbere is no reason why Hickory should not recieve her share of the good to be derived from such an in stitution. It is true that money is re quired to maintain such courses, but nothing worth while comes to us free. And we should not want something for nothing. Our churches and schools have cost us considerable in effort and money, yet we would not do without them. Who would dare claim that a church or a school is not worth the effort and the money nessicar> for its its estab lishment? Who of our citizens does not feel proud of the schools and churches in Hickory. Besides the Chitaqua and Lyceum we have now the opportunity of securing aY. M. C. A. if our people will only grasp the privi lege. We shall not discuss these mat ters further in this article but we hope our people will consider these matters further and give them attention at once. A BAPTIST ELDER. Restored to Health by Vinol. "I was run down and weak from indigestion and general debility, also suffered from ver tigo. I saw a cod liver prepara tion called Vinol advertised and decided to give it a trial, and the results were most gratifying. After taking two bottles I re gained my strength and fcm now feeling unusually wellg" Henry Cunningham, Elder Baptist Church, Kingston, N. C. Vinol is not a patent medicine —but a prepcration composed of the medicinal elements of cods' livers, combined with a tonic iron and wine. Vinol creates a hearty appetite, tones up the organs of digestion and makes rich, red blood. In this natural manner, Vino! creates strength for the run-down, over-worked and debilitated, and for delicate children and old people. For chronic coughs, colds and bron chitis Vinol is unexcelled. All such persons in this vicin ity are asked to try Vinol on our offer to refund their money if it fails to give satisfaction. Moser & Lutz. democrat and Press, Consolidated 1905 AT LENOIR COLLEGE. "Little Lord Fauntleroy" Will' Be Acted by College Talent on Feb. Ist. On the Ist of February, at 8-30 p. m., Frances Bur nett's popular story, "Little Lord. Fauntleroy" will be played at Lenoir College. Every one, who has read this fascinating tale, should be de lighted to see it reproduced un der the able direction of Miss Sawyer, the talented teacher of Expression at Lenoir College. New and appropriate stage scenery and fixtures will make a s'fcl setting for the inter-1 pretation of the play by ah able j and well-trained cast of char-! acters. It is a play of pure, true life and living, with the most de lightful touches of humor and some scenes of exquisite pathos. Not a hint of cheap sentimental ity, nor a word of "blood and thunder" drsmdtics, is to be seen. Every one, from children to aged people, will see some thing to toush a responsive chord in their breasts. Such a play as this is not often! seen in this section of the state, and this opportunity should not be neglected. To feel strong, have good appetite and digestion, sleep soundly and en joy life, use Burdock Electric Bitters, the great system tonic and builder. Suicide of Mr. E. C. Suther.

Jan 24—The dead body of fifteen year old Mary For schner was found in a shed near her home in this city last night The girl left her home at 6:15 to carry money to deposit in the bin!: for her stepfather, Charles Geppert. It is supposed the girl did not £0 down town but was attacked near her home. There was evidence of a strug gle covering nearly a hundred yards and ending in a vacant lot. The evidence goes to show that the girl wa3 first attacked against which she protested and was struck on the head by a board. Evidently she was arag ed unconcious to the vacant lot where she regained conciousness snd the struggle was renewed. The finger marks on her , throat lead to the conclusion that ' she was choked into submission, which probably resulted injier doath. The body was then thrown accross the street under the shed where it was after wards found. The pocket book containing the money was found near the scene of the struggle. Two men have been arrested on suspicion, but the police are sure they have the wrong men. This mysterious crime is tha fourth of like nature in recent ; years in this city. | MUST BEUEVE IT When Well-Known Hickory People Tell It So Plainly.
