Freeman-Jenkins Vendetta.
A FIGHT TO THE DEATH WITH KNIVES
- - •
On last Saturday, the Uh instant,
a tight occurred at Hudson, N. C .
in which John Jenkins and Larry
Freeman were the principal actort*.
In the tight Freeman only received
a few riesh wounds, but Jenkins did
not get off so light, being stabbed in
many places, from the effects of
which tie will probably die.
The exact particulars of the tight
have not been learned but Freeman
says he killed Jenkins in self-defense.
Jenkins is H son in-law of W. C.
Jones, of Caldwell county and Jeaves
a wife and several children.
Although this vendetta has exten
ded over and been cariied 011 for a
period of ten or twelve A ears and
there has been many fights and dif
ficulties between the two families
this is the first time there has been
a tatal termination to any of the
troubles between them.
Can'i Turn \'h Down.
When it comes to the test you can
just bet 01 Hickory "getting there '
We are "right up" on everything
! that can add to the support of the
, Democratic ticket. As soon as the
I news of the nominations was re
*ceived the town was Hooded with
' red bandana handkerchiefs, the le
gem! of which appears elsewhere.
Then came the organization of a
Young Men's Democratic Club, and
this was followed by a master stroke
by the enterprising Banner Cigar
Co. While sitting in our sauctum
early Monday morning, debating
whether or not the surplus of the
company would stand a draw of 2A
cents for a cigar, we unexpectedly
received the beautifully colored lith
ograph portraits of (trover Cleve
land and Atten (i. Thurinan and a
package of Cleveland and Thurman
' cigars, manufactured by the Banner
Cigar Co. We immediately tested
the cigar and pronounce it a good
one. Mr. Marshall deserves credit
for his thrift in placing before the
! publio a cigar which will be so uni
versally demanded. In tour days
after the nominations he had the ci
gar manufactured, advertised and on
the market.

The sudden and unexpected death
of Mr. P. J Rowe cf this Tow nship is
i another remainder that in the midst
|of life we are in death. Mr. Rowe
was one of the most active and heal
thy looking men in this country.
He was in very prime of life, about
'M years old. and a picture of health.
He was in town last Friday evening
slighly complaining, and consulted a
physician He went home, took his
bed and died, of tvphoid fever Mon

citizen has-left u-. and a w fe. three
children, a mother, brothers and sis
