he is held in ttie highest esteem and

the people of these two and the ad

in the State —it is a reflected honor
upon old Catawba, the banner coun

Ther* id no grubling, no complain- '

Democracy is of the best and purest
type. If some of the Alarmists who,
with water in their eyes, think the
State is going to elect a Republican
governor in November, would spend
a day or two in Catawba, they would
return home ashamed of their sickly
and unmanly fear. The Catawba

the North Carolina Democracy if the

Prominent'among the factors that
promote Hickory's v growth is the
Hickory M mufacturing Company. of
which Mi H (' Latta i- Bu-ine-s
Manager. It makes sash. doors,
blind- and does all kinds of mill
work, giving employment to forty
men. I saw the pulpit arid pews in
the German Reformed church
(which, by the way, is a gem of a
church, built mainly through the
generosity of ex Senator Abel A
Shuford) made by this company.
More beautiful work 1 have seen no
wheie. A speciality is made of
work in hard woods, and the finish
ing of the Bank of Hickory and the
residence of Mr. I). W. Shuler can
be surpassed by no company.
"Hickory Tavern" years ago
gave place to a better hotel. Last
year that was burned, and in its
place a beautiful brick hotel, contain
ing three stories and a basement, is
being erected. It will have the
modern conveniences and will be a
pleasant place for tourists who do
not care to go beyond the moun
tains; but who aie looking for a de
lightful climate and good water.
There is no f*ood reason why Hicko
• J
ry should not have a number of
summer visitors when this hotel is
completed. It will get them. The
new hotel will cost about $20,000,
and will be owned by a stock com
pany.
Something over two years ago Mr.
D. \V. Shuler, of Wisconsin, opened
the Bank of Hickory. He came
here with plenty of money aud start-
Ed a hank which has succeeded re
markably from the very first. He
is now building him a residence
which is a model of beauty, elegance
and convenience. I have seen no
house in North Carolina which com
bines so much of architectural beau
ty with foinfoit. Near the house is
a barn, built from a beautiful plan,

wonder of the country. lie is go
ing to have a park surrounding his
house, with r onnf ii-i- ami all other
luxuries and comforts that can add
to the p!ea-ur"s of life. I hail the
coming among u- such men. They
spend their money in electing con
venient houses; they teach the les
son that if a merciful man would be
merciful to his beast- he must pro
vide coujfortcble houses for them:
and they ornament their grounds,
and show us how to adorn our prem
ise-. To all such men I say, in the
language of the late James Barron
Hope.
