In another column will be found a statement by Co 1 . Thornton, giving reasons why an opposition electric company should not be given a franchise to operate in Hickory. In this case the colonel undoubtedly has right on his side. His company has served the city as well as any could have done, and to ad mit another would net onl> de rive it of benefits which it has honestly earned, but would be an act of injustice for which the city would be much blamed, and rightly so. The colonel is now engaged in fostering a scheme which, if it is successful, as there now seems every prospect of its being, will be of vast benefit to the city. Every citizen who has the best interest of the city at heart should assist him in every way possible, and not throw stumbling blocks in his way. Monument Unveiling. The monument erected over 0 the grave of J. P. Ward at Oak wood cemetery by the Woodmen of the World was dedicated Sun day, with impressive ceremonies, by members of Hickory Camp No. 80. The members "met at the rooms of the camp and marched thence to the cemetery, where the ob servance began with singing by a quartet, composed of R. 11. Kirk, W. E. Miller, W A. Kerr and J. W. Campbell. There was a reading by the council com mander, W. E. Miller, and the grave was then decorated with flowers and banners. After another song by the quartet the poem, "O Why Should the Spirit of Mortal be Proud" was beauti fully recited by Miss Bertha Bradshaw. Then came the unveiling, with exercises at the grave conducted by Banker M. L. Sherrill and W. L. Long, the latter acting in place of Clerk J. H. Willis. The quartet then sang again, after which brief addresses were made by Rev. J. L. Murphv and Rev. J. G. Garth. Thev spoke of the benefits of fraternal orders and of the good accruing from mans love for his fellow man, and each paid a graceful tribute to the memory of him whose body lay beneath. Again the quartet sang, after a renewing by the council com mander and the exercises were closed by the master of ceremon ies, W. E. Holbrook, There was a large attendance, and the observance, while simple, was of great interest to those present. The monument represents the stump of a tree, one of the sym bols of the order, is handsomely executed, and makes a very in teresting memorial, Seven Springs. A little to wet for the farmers in this section of the world. I ant in love with road bonds and I don't like a special tax and at such. I'll keep on knockin. I am more than glad to see the interest our farmers are taking in improved agriculture. They own to much rich land. They should have smaller farms and cultivate them better, and they could if they were smaller. They should induce good farmers to come here and settle among us. That would give them a more diversified talent in farming. They can afford to sell part of their farms reasonable and on easy terms to accomplish this end. Then each neighborhood could keep up each school. It would be cheaper and more practicable than sending the boy and girl to the towns, where they learn more foolishness than common horse sense which is al ways at a premium everywhere. This Monday is Commissioners day. I guess they will do some thing about good roads. If they do much its only a question of a little while when you will be in that region where the rich man went who had no mercy on poor suffering humanity of his day, Mv Lord, just think of one hun dred million dollars, "every dollar drawing interest. If we ever get road bonds on us we will have to labor and sweat and practice our pitiful ecomies as we have never I done before since the republic wa? established. A lot of wheat will be cut this week, cotton is not a good stand, but there is a fine stand of crab grass in the cotton. # One of the Seven Spring s girls changed her name last Wed nesday.
