Kimball
Pianos Go!
"Share's a Reason"
'
The day has
about passed
when people sim
ply shut their
eves and buy
mr
something, just
because it's called
| a piano.
| The time-hon
ored saying of
■ ; Abe Lincoln that
| "You > can't fool
I all the time" has
become so pain
fully true that it
is mighty hard for
some folks to sell
their pianos.
People nowa
days like to see a
"difference with a
distinction," and
they like the idea
jj of "show me."
We have shown
you those things
about the Kimball
which differenti
ates it from other
makes and the
people of Hickory
like it.
The Kimballs
are going out into
the homes rapid
ly. Three selec
| tions were made
j] first day after the
exhibit closed.
j; If you like a
I Kimball, take ad
vantage of the fac
tory price, at
which these sam
ples are being
] sold. Come early
I while you can get
a choice.

J >eroe Takes Least Gallons:
Always
Paint Devoe; it's the cheapest paint in
lae world; never mind the price; it may
or may not be more. Less gallons will
paint the house; and the paint will
outwear anything.
Skip wear; you've got to wait, to find
that out.
It's the cheapest of ell; no matter about
the price.

Mr. E. L. Shuford is strutting

The Democrat was privileged a
few days'ago to see a beautiful
hand-painted set of china done
at Claremont college by Miss
Bessie McComb who is taking
lessons from Miss Barringer,
the gifted art teacher. A vase
in cape jessamines and a card
receiver in violets were particu
arly beautiful.
The Carolina and Northwes
tern accomodation train, due
here at 8:30 p. m. is being run as
a local instead of a through
freight, and the traveling public
is complaining about it. Rev.
Dr.' W. A. Deaton returned on it
from Charlotte and Lincolnton
Monday night. It left Gastonia
at 7:10 and got to Lincolnton at
11. Leaving Lincolnton some
where between midnight and 1
o'clock, the arrival at Hickory
was 3:10 a. m, and Dr. Deaton
says he didn't get to bed till 4
o'clock. He say the public is
all trusting that the manage
ment of the road will make the
train a through freight again.
The Democrat learns that some
of the friends of Treasurer J. U
Long, of CataWba» at present
County treasurer, are trying to
induce him to run for State sen
ate, in the hope that the two
Hickory candidates* Messrs. J.
D. Elliott and E. L. Shuford
might retire in his favor. We
understand that Mr. Long
would accept the nomination.
Work on the chair factory is
held up because the Southern
Railway is very slow m putting
in a side track to the new plant.
The old plant is boxed, ready
to ship—indeed has been for three
months—at Elkin, and the new
boiler is boxed ready to be ship
ped from Cincinnati. But the
shipments are delayed and jail
work of manufacture made im
possible by the long delay in
building the sidetrack,
Mr. and Mrs. B. J. Whitcomb,
of Oxford, Mich., are spending
the winter here and are at Mrs.
Chadwick's. Mr. Whitcomb is
on the road for a large business
printing house and business
college at Saginaw and travels
the entire continent. He is a
delightful gentleman. Indeed
Michigan seems to produce no
other kind. The Democrat en
joyed a visit from him this week.
It is with great pleasure that we
learn he and Mrs. Whitcomb may
eventually make this their home.
Mr. Roger Hall, who was re
cently rather seriously burned by
a powder explosion in the Du-
Point Powder works, is in the
city, the guest of his brother,
Mr. W. A. Hall. Mr. Hall is a
brilliant young chemist who is
making good with the DuPonts..
After careful treatment in a Wil
mington, Del., hospital. Mr. Hall
spent some time recuperating at
the home of Dr v and Mrs. Paul
Murrill, the former a well re
membered Hickory man. He is
very much improved and will
visit his parents in Lenoir before
returning to work.
Catawba College Notes.
Last Wednesday there was an
interested practicing by the
baseball team under Coaeh
Yount.
The Athenaen Society Hall
has just been repaired and re
curtained, and is now quite a
credit, both to the society and
and to the college.
On Wednesday, Professor
Buehheit returned from his trip
North bringing with him one
new student, Miss • Charlotte
Butler, from Lavisburg, Pa,, she
is enrolled as a special student,
he also enrolled three young
men students for next year.
On this trip, which by no means
a pleasure trip, Professor Bueh
heit secured $3,500 in cash and
a number of additional promises
which will probably amount to
SSOO or SI,OOO. He expects to
realize at least SSOOO for the col
lege from this trip. But in ad
dition to securing money for our
institution Professor Buehheit
made many friends for old Ca
tawba. The people up north are
becoming more interested in the
College as they learned more
about it.
The Seniors most delightfully
entertained in the college par
lor on last Saturday night in
honor of the Special Seniors,
Town Seniors, and the Sopho
mores. Several forms of a
musement indulged in, the
most amusing was cutting words
and phrases out of magazines
and pinning them to a paper in
the form of an amusing letter.
Some were very interesting in
deed. In a contest in which the
the answers were to be given by
partes of the human bady, the
prize, a silver paper weight,
was awarded to Mr. Harry Fes
perman. Most dainty refresh
ments were served.
