Ihe impression prevails to some
extent that the Clipper and this pa
per are in some way connected, or
owned by the same parties. It i* not
true m any sense. There is no more ,
connection between them than be
tween any other two sepnrate and
distinct papers in the State. We
run one paper and only one. \\ e
never hide our operations.
The Watauga Enterprise comes tf
us from Boone in place of the Jour
nal, deceased. There is a change of I
editor?, as well as name, and such a
change as justifies our congratula
tions to all concei tied. Messrs. Thoa
Bingham and L. L fireene, editors
of the Enterprise, are both men of
brains and character, sober men, and
would make good Democrats if they
were to minded. The new paper
starts out well, and we wish our new
friends success—financially.

Rev J. C. Muser, pastor of Hol\
Trinity Evangelical Lutheran I 'hurch
of this place, wishes it stated that he
and his congregation did not unite
in the iuvitation extended by the
' other churches of Hickory to Evan
gelist Pearson, as a notice in THE
PRESS AND CAROLINIAN of last week
seemed to imply. Justice to the
! committee requires us to state that
they informed Mr. Pearson of the
Lutheran non-concurrence, and the
public will be glad to know that he
assured the committee that it would
not influence his decision on our in
, vitation.

Rev. J. E. Biistowe writes: "I re
turned to my old appointment, made
new by the sanction of the Bishop,
January 11th, after an extended vis
it to my native home and friends,
feeling much refreshed, with new
resolutions to begin inv third year
with an enterprising and progressive
people. Found our new parsonage
nearing completion—will move in it
in a few davs. It is among the best
.
buildings in town. It speaks well
for Methodism in Hickory. The la
dies are preparing to furnish it> as
soon as complete, and no one has
any doubt but that it will tie done
tastefully. Mav the Lord continue
to bless our town and people, es
pecially the church here." —Raleigh

That Fee Overstated.
Accidentally meeting our friend
Mr. T. H. Cobb, of Asheville, a few
da\s ago, we began to congratulate
O 7 o o
him upon the "big fee " which the
Shelby Aurora credits him with hav
ing received, when he replied that
the statement was not only unwar
ranted by him, but incorrect in fact
as to the amount. Mr. Cobb would
; not even tell us the amount of his
( fee. because, as he very properly
said, that was purely a matter be-
tween himself and his clients ami
not a matter for public discussion.
It was a big case ami a good one,
and lie ought to have been we'l paid
and 110 doubt he wa». but we did not
feel authoiized to impure into his
private matters, and he did not seem
inclined to .--peak of them.
