Dull care b>kes wings when ( Floyd Featherston comes and ! amusement seekers of Hickory i are expectingsomething distinct I ly original and diverting j the mua-ian-humorist appears ' here on Wednesday night, Nov. : 10th under the auspices of the 1 Radcliffe Entertainment Bureau. A Virginian and a member of a family that has played an his toric part iD the affairs of the old Commonwealth, Featherston knows his South well and in the role of an ante-bellum darkey, With his banjo, has no equal on the lyceum platform to-day. He will produce a conglom eration of musical eccentricities that will set any crowd to laugh ing. , Featherston says that there is music hidden away somewhere in everything and that a Httle study will release the- truant notes. He sets out to capture them and leads a merry chase through pipes, glasses, electric bells, bottles, cow-bells, and even plain wooden boards. These, and numerous others, will fur nish the flourishes. The solid part of the program will come from the piano, organ, banjo, mandolin and guitar, and through it all Will run the wit that has established the performer as a humorist of the first class. Cap able assistants will be on hand. The musical equipment carried by Mr. Featherston is said to be worth several thousand dollars. i * "Hallowe'en Social." ( The Halloween social given at the Presbyterian Manse on Tues day night was quite a success. ■ The interior of the residence j was attractively and artistically carried out in a most unique manner by means of autumn leaves, black cats, wigwams and j many Jack-o-lanterns stared with gleaming eyes from manv j corners which presented a very ] artistic effect. During the even ing a number of games were en tered into and spooky tales were told in the dark. A Gypsie in gorgeous costume ' read the palms of many of the young people, and revealed to them their fate. Dainty refresh ments were served during the latter part of the evening. Every one enjoyed the occasion im mensely. When the Ghosts Walked. Monday night, at the residence of Dr. Stevenson on Bth Avenue, there was a great gathering of gho6tly visitors, Miss Mabel Cooper having invited them to keep Hallowe'en with her. They were met at the door by other . ghosts and, after greetings from their fellows, were led to an up per room where they were met by a ghastly figure, which, in stern and terrible tones, said to them: "I am the ghost of your past misdeeds! Behold my sis ters, the present and the future. Shake hands with them." As the poor ghost obeyed, the hand and arm of the "Past" were lert in his or hers, as the case might be. Then, before recovering from this shock, an invisible see ress revealed to the visitor his or her future destiny, the name of the future husband or wife and 1 their appearance, also to the - young ladies, the occupation of e the said husband. This was re r vealed according to numbers, 3 and, no less than six young la - di«f choosing one hundred, that number will marry one "Mr. f Frost." This may be considered "a frost," sure enough. After r these experiences, the visitors j unveiled and Mrs. Julia Cooper related a fearful ghost story, with a truly terrible ending. A salad course and cakes were then • served, and the guests amused 1 themselves until a late hour, breaking up finally only for fear 2 the "graveyard" might "yawn" i. in real truth. Miss Mabel was a charming hostess, and was ably assisted by Mesdames Cooper,. ' Johnson, Stevenson and Watson. Mis. John B Fry, Dead. Emma C. Link was born Feb. 6. 1843." She died Oct. 26, 1909. J She was married to John B. Fry in March 1866." To them were born 10 children, three of whom are dead. She leaves a husband, 7 children, 21 grandchildren and 1 great grandchild to mcurn the loss of wife and mother. Mrs. Fry was the daughter of the late Henry Link, one of the first settlers of Hickory. She was a sister of. our townsman, Mr. A. C. Link and a sister of Mrs. A. S. Abernethy. * In early life she was confirm ed a member of the Reformed cflurch, but latei united with the Methodist church. She was a woman of strong religious con victions. Her funeral was con ducted at the residence by Dr. Murphy of the Reformed church and was ifttended by a large con gregation. She was buried at Arney's Chapel. May grace be given the sor rowing ones.

Bar nett designed for her when the Boston Cadets brought her out, will smile upon the amusement seekers at the Academy of Mu sic, Wednesday, Nov. 17th.

Clem John son and Rodney & Bartelle, also a large chorus of dancing girls. Helen Stuart, John Mylie and Burt Eaton form as clever a trio of funsters as a»y that have ever been secured for a musical ex travaganza and it is their merry quibs and ludicrous antics that do so much toward making B. C. Whitney's famous mu -1 sical success, "The Show Girl," which will be seen at the Acade f my of Music November 17th, the ' tremenduous success of effusive laughter that it is. B. C. Whitney's famous Broad way success, "The Show Girl," a musical comedy in two acts, comes to the Academy of Music, i November 17th.

A PUBLIC BENEFIT ** * * ""** Hickory People Greatly Inter ested in the Generous Offer of the W. S Martin Drug Company. The people have already de monstrated that-they would ra ther trust a man who is natural ly honest than one who is honest only btcause he had to be. The W. S. Martin Drug Co. have a firmly established reputa tion for square dealing and ster ling honesty. When they told the people that Rexall Remedies are the purest and most depend able medicines that it is possible for modern science to produce, and that thev would tell the pub lic what each one of these &X) or more remedies contained, and that they sold Rexall Remedies on their ewn personal guarantee that they would give entire sat isfaction or they would not cost the user a single cent, they were believed. Ever since this announcement the W. S. Martin Drug Co. store has been largely patronized by people buying Rexall Remedies, all of which proves that this store has the confideuce of the people and that honesty is the best policy. There is no "cure-all" among the Rexall Remedies, There are different and separate medicines, eadh one devised for a certain human ailment or a class of ail ments closely allied, For instance Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets are re commended for the positive relief of stomach irritation, indigestion flatulency and dyspepsia. They are rich in Bismuth-Subnitrate, Pepsin and Carminatives. They are prepared by special processes which perfect and enhance the great remedial value of these well-known medicinal agents. This remedy sells for 25 cents, 50 cents, and $l.OO per package. Every one suffering from stom ach disorder should try Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets, inasmuch as they cost nothing if they do not satisfy. Remember, The W. S. Martin Drug Co. store is the only store in Hickory where these remedies may be obtained, and every one in need of medicine is urged to investigate and take advantage of the frank and generous man ner in which they are sold. Cotton Mill News. J. W. Daniel has resigned as manager of the large Shuford Cotton Mill stores at Hickory, N. accept a similar position with the High Shoals Co., in chcrge of their store at High Shoals, N. C. W. J. Scott has resigned his position with the Lowe Mfg. Co. of Huntsville, Ala,, to accept a position as overseer of weaving at one of the mills at Hickory, N. C. Granite Falls, N. C. —It is probable that there will be a cot ton mill built here within the next 12 months, and we hope that the citizens of our town will do all they can to to insure its erection. Bees Laxative Cough Syrup acts so prompty because it gently moves the bowels, which is the best, and in fact the~only way to cure a cold. It lin gers in the throat and heals and allays inflamation. Sold by W. S. Martin. The genius who grafted a milk weed on a strawberry vine and produced a plant yielding straw berries and cream, needs only to graft this marvel on sugar-cane to out-do Burbank.
