THE HICKORY DEMOCRAT. Published Every Thursday bv W. E. HOLBROOK, EDITOR AND PROP Ente'-ti at the Post Office at Hickory a 6 secour class matter. " TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION. One Year Cash In Advance $ i-oo Six Months, " " Three Months 5 Advertising Rates. Transient 2o cents an inch. Prefered Position 15 ' (( „ Yearly Contracts 10 Thursday, August 26, 1909. To steal candy from a kid used to be considered the quintes sence of meanness, but that is just what our tariff has bronght the government to, as witness the following from the Spring field Republican: "Under the new tariff, the customs offi cers are very strict. A little girl, coming off a Cunard steam er in New York last week, was held up because she was eating a small package of chocolate. No, the chocolate could not go ashore with the little girl unless a dutv were paid on it." The movement for a street ag ricultural fair here in the Fall should receive the hearty sup port of every citizen, merchant or otherwise. Whatever tends to improve our farms and make them more productive tends also to the prosperity of our business men. Hickory is the natural distributing center of a large and productive country and anything which tends to make our farms more productive tends also to the increase of the city's business. It is to be hoped that our citizens will all pull together to make the affair a pronounced success, so that it will be continued from year to year. TRIBUTES TO THE DEAD. The Raleigh News and Observ er had this editorial utterance in regard to the late T. M Huffham in its issue of Wednesday, Aug. 18: ''One of the most gifted men in North Carolina passed away in the pe culiarly sad death of Mr. Thomas M. Huff ham, of Hickory. He had the temperament and talent of a poet, and was a man of marked ability. At col lege he was known for his peculiar gifts. As a teacher in the years he was preparing for the bar, he had a fascination for bis students. As a lawyer he was brilliant and original. The readers of The News and Observ er and the Charlotte Observer will re call a number of articles from his pen that showed that when he wrote he produced literature. He had a style of "pure English undefiled." □ Mr. Huffham was a man of weak constitution, and was one of the frail est of men. Whenever he had a case he poured himself into it, calling into requisition all his powers, When it was finished, he was physically ex hausted. The result was a serious im pairment of his strength, and resulted in the sad termination of his life before he had reached middle age. North Carolina mourns today with his venerable father, Rev.Dr. Huffham, and with his family. The State has lost a loyal son with the highest gifts. May he rest in peace." On the death of Thomas B Reed, Mr. Huffham wrote a sum mary of his life and career which appeared in the Charlotte Ob server, which Editor Caldwell said was the best thing of the kind which had ever appeared in any North Carolina paper, and which brought a lettter of com mendation from Mr. Reed's latf law partner in New York. The Observer said: 4 Thomas M. Huffham was one of the most valuable of the Sunday Ob server's contributors. His wide know ledge of men and affairs, a brilliant mind, and polished, entertaining style were appreciated by those who read his writings, which were much sought after. Unfortunately for those who read after him he was a busy man and his coatribut ons were received in rre quently. His articles on political con ditions, past and present, are am )ng the best The Observer has been Drivr leged to publish." MRS. GEO. W. HALL "He is not dead, but sleepeth" was spoken by the Master to hearts torn by grief of separa tion. The same loving friend now speaks to the lonely and be reaved husband, parents and sis ter of our friend, Mrs. George W. Hall. She is not dead, but sleepeth. She was treasurer of our Chapter of the Daughters' of the Confederacy, and it was through her efforts that this Chapter was organized. Robed in white, the emblem of purity, and laid to rest in a pure white casket, covered with beau tiful flowers, tokens of love, we bade her good-bye on the night of August, and as the afternoon silently passed away in glorious promises of the morn, her loved ones left her peacefully sleeping. Therefore, we deplore the loss of her, although we feel assured tliat our loss is her gain. We, the Daughters of the Con federacy, extend heartfelt sym pathy to her bereaved husband, parents and sister. In loving sympathy, Mrs. W.L. Abernethy, Mrs, W. A. Hall, Mrs. Charles Menzies, Committee. Aug. 24, 1909. MRS. KATE CAMPBELL. Whereas, Our Heavenly Fath er has called our beloved honor ary member, Mrs. Kate Camp bell, to her eternal rest. We, therefore, the members of the U. D. C. of the Abel Shu ford Chapter, of Hickory, N. C., present the following resolutions: Resolved, first, That we ex tend to her family our expression of profound sympathy in their sorrow and loss, with apprecia tion of her noble efforts in behalf of the C. S. A., and thankful ness for the beautiful example of her unselfish life. Resolved, secondly, That these resolutions be spread on our min utes, a copy sent to her family, and a copy furnished each of our city papers. Mrs. Edwina Chadwick, Mrs. James A. Martin, Miss Ada B. Schenck, Committee. Aug. 24, 1909. MRS. LOUISE HARPER Whereas, Our Heavenly Fath er has seen fit to remove our aged sister, Mrs. Louise Harper, May 29th, 1909, Therefore, we, the Daughters of the Confederacy of Hickory, manifest our deepest sympathy to the beloved family and com mend them to Him who is able to bind all broken hearts. Resolved, That these resolu tions be put on our minutes, and a copy be sent to the daughter, one also be sent to our city pa oers. Respectfully, Mrs. A. S. Abernethy, Mrs. M. McK. Shuford, Miss Florence Reid, Committee. SALE OF LAND. The heirs of S. A. Huffman have agreed to sell the farm of said Huffman, deceased. The land lies three miles north of Hickory, near Mt.
