A local barber has a clever fan for use on his customers.

Make Yoder and Charles Mor rison, the latter a negro, got into a scrap the other day which re sulted seriously.

Mr. and Mrs. Walter F. Wat son and daughter Jennie Rock wood, of Houston, Texas, passed through Hickory Thursday on their way to New York City.

At the Presbyterian church on Sunday the congregation united with that of the Reformed church in obserying the 400 th anniversary of the birth of John Calvin.

Bright, who was i reported sick in our last letter, !we are glad to say is able to be out again. Success to The Democrat. Rollins. J. Arthur Wainright was away a few days ago on a business trip up the Linville river. While away he visited his father-in-law, J. A. Morris, and had a pleasant time. The Linville river is a rapid stream and subjected to extensive floods, as any one can see who gets anywhere near it. It car ries probably ten times the water Silver Creek does, and yet as far up the river as Short Off there is not a sign of a bridge. At Fonta Flora there is a suspension foot bridge and below there is a rope ferry with a flat bottom boat for foot passengers. There is plenty of good land along the river but the Burke County Com missioners have evidently forgot ten that there ?s such a river as the Linville and that that region is much in need of bridges. Kev. E. W. Jones is conducting a tent-meeting at the old mission ary church and is leaving good success. John Patton and Miss Daisy Pearson, of Marion, were mar ried week before last. Rev. Enoch Wesley Jones and Miss Mollie Patton were married Tuesday, at Bethel, at the home of James Epley, the bride's brother-in-law. They will make tneir home at Bethel as soon as the parsonage is finished. Stanly Baker and Company are out with their horse power thresher and hustling business. Lots of men are anxious for wheat, as bread is scarce, flour high and in many cases poor. W. H. Morrison has ordered a No. 2 Geiser separater to take the place of the one he has used for the last eighteen years. W, H. Morrison says he has very little use for the fertilizer trust. He plows deep and puts on all the manure Vie can get. He only used three bags of fertilizer last year. Death of Mrs. Sherrill. We are sorry to note the death of Mrs. Newman Snerrill, which took place at her home in Cald well country, July 13. Mrs. Sherrill, before her marriage, was Miss Bertha Whitener, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Whitener, of the South Fork community. Besides her hus band and two children, Mrs. Sherrill leaves father and moth er and four sisters to mourn their loss. The sisters are Mrs. W. B, Yoder, of Asheville, Mrs. R. L. Prevost Mrs. Milton Ramseur, and Mrs. R. Eugene Hawn of Hickory.

Mr. Eugene Morrison, oi Statesville, is arranging an ex cursion from Statesville to Char leston, S. C., the 2nd or 3rd of next month. He will operate enough cars to accommodate a large crowd. Mr. Morrison has had expertence in running excur sions and takes great care for the comfort and safety of his patrons. His selection o2 Char leston this year is a most happy one. Most of our people have read and heard much of "Quaint old Charleston," the historic city of South Carolina, and have wanted a good opportunity to visit it and see for themselves the many interesting things they have heard about Charleston. This can be done on Mr. Morri son's excursion for $6 for the round-trip, which also includes a steamer ride on the ocean. About two days will be spent in Char leston and while there the party will have an opportunity to visit the beautiful Isle of Palms, con sidered by many the finest beach on the Atlantic coast. Mr. Mor rison will announce the exact date of his excursion later.
