I COMMENT
OUR FAIR WINNING REPUTA
TION.
The Outlook in a recent issue
has the following paragraph lead
ing its "By the Way" column:
The right type of "street fair/;
says the "Country Gentleman '
is the kind recently held at Hick
ory, North Carolina. Ttns fair
was held for three days m the
village streets, The cattle and
horses were exhibited in livery
stables, the poultry in a ware
house, and needlework and house
hold products in a church, There
was no charge for admission, ana
three or four thousand persons
were in attendance each day. An
observer says: "I have seen State
fairs with no better hogs or cat
tle, and with by no means so
many educational features.
Here is another incentive to
Hickory to do her best on the
tair this fall. She is rapidly
gaining a national reputation on
this institution, and it is well
worth the effort and money the
local business people spend on it.
The fair, as it has' been, has a
flavor and originality all its own,
and we wish it could keep it.
DANGER AT ROAD-CROSSINGS.
The Democrat is unable to
follow Mr. P. L. Miller this week
in his contention to retain road
crossings over the railroad. In
every possible instance we think
an effort should be made to avoid
such crossings, which are so
often the scenes of accident. As
to road crossings in the town,
they are dangerous and sooner
or later will have to be avoided
by overhead bridges or protected
by gates, as they are in all the
greater cities.

No Sunday Mail Hereafter.
Postmaster Hamrick has receiv
ed notice from the department
that the postoffice appropriation
bill, passed Saturday night, con
tains the following provision:
44 That hereafter offices of the
first and second class shall not
be open on Sundays for the pur
pose of delivering mail to the
general public, but this provision
shall not prevent the prompt de
livery of special delivery mail."
This means that no mail can
be got in boxes on Sunday. No
incoming mail will be handled in
the post office but out-going mail
will be dispatched as usual. The
greatest hardship, (if it is that)
falls on the Sunday papers,
which will have to be delivered
by carrier unless some special
provision can be made whereby
news dealers will be allowed to
receive their papers.
The news of the law passing
created quite a stir, as the fact
. of its introduction in Congress
had not generally got into the
papers.
The usual Sunday crowd, re
; turning from worship at the
; various chuches, will not crowd
the Hickory postoffice hereafter,
as usual.
