Hickory is on a boom. A big boom, j
Those of us who are here constantly
and rotiee every change as it comes
do not realize or comprehend the

If you want to understand and ap

off on a trip for a month--stop in
lots of little dead towns, eat and
sleep at the many so called hotels |
one tinds in traveling around and
j when you g*t back taka a meal at I
the Hickory Inn where every thing
.is neat, clean and elegant, where
you get something palatable and
well (coked to eat—then walk out
J and look at the town. You bee peo-1
pie on the move—busy instead o'
loafing. You see houses being im-'
proved, new houses going up. side-}
walks 1 •eing laid, electric lights be
u o ,
ing put up, t«%sty signs being swung, :
people advertising, drays running
and many other things that note
progres.-. push and prosperity.
Then it is you. will appreciate Hick-.
• rv and its many improvements.
Read Ihe PRESS AND CAROLINIAN'

Last Tuesday was our birthday—
that being our 21st and we are now
ready to receive and appreciate anv
little reminder sent in by the public.
We .-tand in need of shirts, socks, j
' neckties, collars, etc., and it has been
-
suggested that the ladies o'ganiz-'
and contribute to a generous outfit.
Some-of our friends declare that.
I
in view of what PESS AND CAROLINIAN
has done for tins locality, a purse of
SIOO should Ix presented to us by
the men. We should be thankful,
of course, and more thankful if if
was made Sl"i(). An editor should
bo modest, however, and we simplv
throw out these few suggestions
without any thought of being per
sonal.
P. S.
We wear a No. 15£ collar and the '
shirts should be small in the back.

Read, gentlemen, and see if there'
in not n grain of truth hidden here.
How many evening calls do you
make in a month ? We do not mean
to one particular young lady, bur to
your young lady friends in general-
See if you can count them? You
say. "We would go. but the ladies
are so awfully stupid." We do not
wonder they are. for your visits are
so far between that you have to be
come acquainted each time before
you feel at home with each other. '
Then if we did feel inclined
tea driniing, a par f y. or musical, we
would not know who to invite, for so
few ever call or take us out. We do
not care to entertain people who
never show us a particle of attention
iu any way. When a ladv does
(which you will say is not often) give
a party to those whom she considers
her special friends, several of the
young gentlemen are not present,
and no excuse. Do you suppose you
will ever be invited there again* 1
Even if you have no desive to be
present, or if business detains you.
which is often the ease, Jo have
manners (to uee a word you will all
understand) enough to render some
excuse.
So many millionaires are striving
for to the United States Senate from
the "Western States that members of
the Legislatures out there ought to
be able to wear £2OO night shirt-.

The two sermons, or rather lect
ures, delivered la-t Sunday bv Dr.
IngoM, on the life and character of
Joseph. *were especially fine. The
Dr. made some good hits at the'
Reubens of to-day—the men tha*.
when a wrong thing is up for their
consideration, have not the moral 1
courage to speak against it. but trv
to appear virtuous and appease their
consciences by proposing something
not quite so bad. And the Judahs. '
who say, "What profit is it if we
slay our brother ' Come and let us 1
sell him to the Ishmaelites. and set
not our hand upon him " f
He also showed clearly a wrong
that is practiced by many people—
the evil of judging a person on Re
count of oue particular characteiis
tic. Joseph was considered a dream '
er by his brethren and despised for
i \ man may do many things com-'
mendable, but if in an inexpeiienced
age or an unguarded moment he be
guilty of some indiscreet act. even
though his motives are pure, yet he
is harshly judged because hia actions
are contrary to what pleases the uar
row minded ideas of certain people
in regard to that certain act. It is
I _
charitable to forgive and one should
be given credit for the good that is 1
1 in him.
The lectures will be continued,
the subject for next Sunday morning
, being the prison life of Joseph.
