Lading a sanitary sewer system, isd impressed Mr. Hale with its ap pearance of newness as weU as solidity There are many fine churches and wod schools. One of the popular od most useful features of the city 8 the Chamber of Commerce, locat ' ed in its own building at the head of the min business street. But the 1 oseman whose personality with its push and enterprise, is the life of the body is A. K. Joy. the efficient secre tary, who is on the job of keeping Hickory on the map, every "minute. That he may prove a "Joy forever" ' t in Hiekory is the wish of every in habitant. Mr. Hale was surprised to ' learn that the native agriculturists 1 have been in the habit of merely 1 tickling the soil while plowing, giving the country by their results a poor J reputation agriculturally. Recently a system of dynamiting the earth has J been resorted to, resulting in deep • plowing and production of as much as 200 bushels of corn to the acre, show- ing that the soil is alright and of virgin 1 quality. Crristmas eve was ushered in at Hickory with fireworks and proces- j lions of child, ei on the streets with cow beils and other ear splitting de rices, while al! the big bells in town were rung. It was fourth of July six months later, following the Southern > custom. Christmas morning egg j nog is served for breakfast at the i hotel* and boarding houses. At Mr. \ Hale's hotel (the one where he stop- i ped) a practical joke? placed a fear- i ful concoction in the egg nog pitcher and even the well seasoned veterans >, who quaffed the liquid were visably ; j aSected. Fortunately Mr. Hale's' 1 abstemiuous habits and convictions ] prevented him from participating and' j he cam* away perfectly sober. At noon Christmas day the ther- j mounter stood at 66, with the sky dear. The nights are cool, the j temperature going as low as 28 j Fires are generally not needed for heat j in the day time throughout the winter. Mr. Hale is convinced thaf"agricultur ' ally the South is behind, and the farmers as a rule live in poor buildings, \ but that rapid progress is being made, nc regrets that he found no business opening in Hickory. [But Joy will find him one ,if he will « just wait a miuute.] 1 THE 1913 WORLD ALMANAC i 1 10,000 Facts and Figures—Several Hundred New and Special Features.

JANUARY, 9. 19,13 J COMMENT [ LOCUST BEER AND SIMMON PUDDING, The Democrat has received 1 j an anonymous bottle of locust , b?er with the. following: label , pasted on the bottler "The spirit of sunshine and pure air blended together, to which is added the aroma of the daisy and the richness of the goldenrod. It sparkles with the «urgle of meadow- brooks and tie songs of many birds, and it flay™- and, good for f IWi i tTf, If] you can guess the giver you can ! get some more, for he has a barrel full." It is a rule of- the Medes and Persians in this shop not t( print anonymous communica- and a necessary corallary of that rule of course would be not to drink anonvmous locub' beer. Therefore we hope that the brewer of this mysteriou? and daisy- scented tikker wil. come in and give us the wink. And by the way, when he comes we would like to have him bring us a simmon pudding. We have been hearing a great deal about simmon puddmn since we have been here. It is said to lay in the shade swe!t potato pudding, even when the same is constructed out of the Catawba yam. We would even ; risk an anonymous persimmon pudding. A years subscriptioi. for a persimmon pudding! Behold how these Christia , love one another! Bishop Ki.gc in a sermon at Dnrham said the laymen's missionary movement was sennas: a lot of hoboes (it> 7«»crf tariea) over the country tc .■a at hotels and eat ice creair on other ft obit's money. That MI a cheap and dishonest state-, ment, and as yellow as /elfow journalism. From Mr. G. Camp bell Morgan down, so far as wt have come personally in touch with them, the laymen's secre taries are most devoted Chris tians, and gentlemen, —to c gentlemanly to ever make such s statement about Bishop Kilgo as he made about them. By tht way, it ill becomes one who s has been a mendicant for crumbs from the tobacco trust's table to speak sneeringiy of "other peo ple's money." The Kindergarten of Mrs, H, i D.

A mass meeting of the citizens of Hickory has been eailed for Monday, January 13, at 7j3G P. M., at the Chamber of Commerce room. Should the number attending justify, the meeting wi l be held at the City Hall. ' ■ The object of this meeting is to review the work of the commit | tee appointad by the Chamber of Commerce, and co-operatt d in the Mayor and Board of Aldermen, to draft a new charte. for the city of Hickory. It is hoped, through this meeting, to *it a full and free expression of opinion on the various acts of pro posed new charter. \fter this meeting, the full committee, which will consi t of the Mayor and Board of Alderman, the directors of the Cha noer *f Commerce, the charter ,Committee, and all the ex-mayor* of nickory, wi'l meet to consider any and all changes in proposed I ***** b® suggested, orally or in writing. Thiß is your Charter, and you should be as vitally interest* 1 in it as tboae who have labored in its preparation. If you are a citi eeti of Hickory you are not only invited, but urged to come. The Parcels Post. Progressive Parmer. After January 1, 1913, we will have a parcels post—a umsy, inadequate, red-tape uetf parcels poar, to be sure, bat itill a greai advance over no oarrefe poet poet at all. We feel sure that many farmers wiit find tht new departure a *reat help in both buying and selling; and we confidently ex pect this meaure to prove the first step toward the establish ment ot a modern and effective parcels post system. Many farmers are doubtleass preparing new to profit by the new parcels post, and a great many others, who may think it a matter of no interest to them, ;an profit by it if thaar wilt. It will be of special value to the farmer who lives on a rural route eading to a town of some size, for he will be enabled to build up a market in town for butter, »ggs, dressed poultry, fresh fr iits and other products; and surely, after ail the talk we have had about direct marketing and unnecessary middlemen, farm ers generally will not neglect to tvail themselves of this oppor. tunity to buiid up a direct trade vith the consumers. We print herewith a sche luleof the new rates: The rural route rate applies )nly to packages originating on i rural route and stopping on it, in the town which it starts, or on another furrl route starting Parcel Post Rates | • | i 05 ( « GO *S - OQ M .
