Every local paper ought to do its
best for its town, but we think that
the Topic, in its notice of the late,
Recital at Oaremont College, should
have said more, or said nothing at j
all.
j
Iwo charming ladier of Lenoir,
invited hither by the College, that |
our people might see what could be
done by pupils of Mrs. Sanborn !
who had been trained by her for a
longer time than those now under!
her instruction, added much to the!
success of the affair, and were fitlv |
complimented by il eir kinsman. |
But why had he no kindly praise for
our eheiished girls, or for those fair !
maidens from distant counties and J
other States, whose talents and skill |
gave such pleasure to the audience, \
and why was there no appreciation}
of the matchless voice and method
' of one who was so easily the "prima 1
i 'hmnu of the occasion, and of ;
which the Topic used to boast, not
so long ago, as among the chief at- !
tractions of its village ?
And, oh esteemed contemporary,
: why is it now Mr. W. H. Sanborn? |
j Your types gave him a title once: J
: did the honored President and the ;
gracious lady of our prosperous col- :
lege leave behind them both art and
j learning when they abandoned Le
noir, and have those tones, of which
| you were so proud, deserted their :
mistress to haunt the corridors of!
old Davenport, that you could not
recognize them here?
Doubtless those lost blessings of
i
yours, brightened as they took their 1
flights, for that they left darkness I
behind them is pitifully plain.
The Mineral Spring.
i Hickory has the most pleasant and
healthy atmosphere and the nicest
and most comfortable 'Tun'' in the |
whole country for summer visitors. '
It has also a most health-giving !
O O ;
mineral spring which needs only a
few dollars spent to make it as pleas- |
ant and attractive as beneficial. 1
Wont the city authorities give it a
better attention'
It has been neglected long enough
The spring needs cleaning out and
the spiing house fixing and white- 1
washing. The grounds around the
spring need cleaning oft' and some
new benches put thereon.
Then there needs to be some way
of keeping the gentlemen and la
dies of color from monopolizing it.

The program for to-day is well

is a surety.
Everything connected with Hick

On next Monday night there will j
be given a strawberry festival at the '

right gallant and worthy 4th Regi
ment Band of Hickory. Everything'
will be in good shape and we hope
the citizens will turn out and eat
straw berries and other delicacies very
lively.

Ou Suuday the details of the case
, were ascertained more accurately.
Boyle had been to Goldsboro on
Saturday to officiate at the Catholic
, church at that place. On the way
down it is reported that he was
; drinking heavily on the train and al-
Iso on the way back. He returned
to this city Saturday on the after
noon train from Goldsboro at 4:45
| o'clock.
He drove to the parsonage in a
j carriage, and on ariiving there he
found Miss "\\ hitaker, who had been
j practicing on the organ, in the yard
picking some flowers with which to
decorate the church.
There are various reports current
as to the excuse Boyle made to in
i duce iMiss W hitaker to go to his
room. It is rumored that he told
j
her that he had some llowers in his
room, which she could use to deco
rate the chancel. A more direct re
i port is that he told her that he had a
1 I • i
; letter in his room for her. Esqu're
\\ hitaker, the father of Miss Whita
ker stated the occurrence about as
follows Sunday night: Having got
ten her in his room he at once locked
the door and asked her if she would
not run away and marry him. She
( told him no that she would not,
whereupon he laid hold of her and
threw her on the bed. She screamed
! out, but there being no one near to
hear her, her cries were not heard.
It is stated that he held a pistol
to her head and told her if she did
not keep quiet he would kill her.
After he had succeeded in accom
plishing his purpose he asked her
again if she would marry him and
run away aud she told him she
would not. He then told her to go
in the adjoining room and wash her
face and hands and comb her hair
ami told her that if s-he ever
breathed a word of what had just :
happened that he would kill her.
She then went immediately home
and told her father what had occurr
ed.
The affair happened about six
o'clock in the evening and by seven
a warrant for Boyle's arrest had
been issued and was in the hands of
the officers of the law.—News-Ob-j
server.
The most conservative and law
abiding character of the Raleigh peo
ple and the timely action of the May
or in putting on an extra police force
saved the wretch from lynch ing.
Some of our citizens say he was here !
on a big drunk a few 'vears ago. and '
o » n
it seems he has not jiiit that habit.
His brethren say this is the third
case of the kind in the history of
their church. It may be only the
third "goat in sheep's clothing' that
has been caught, but the number of
poor girls who have suffered as Miss
Whitaker now suffers is unknown

hours after their letters reached

better boys. It don't pay to walk
away.

i Pn. PRESS ANI» CAROLINIAN,
I DEAR SIR :
I wrote
you some time ago for a sample copy
of your paper, which was received
i prom ply. Judging from your local
i columns one would think Hickory a
very thriving city but'when I looked
over yuur advertising columns I
'j failed to find the names of the prop
er number of houses and
manufacturing establishments to
warrant w hat you say in your eol
limns. Enclosed find stamp. Please
let me know how many business
houses you have. How many man
ufacturing establishments, etc. I
am thinking of coming South to lo
cate. Yours Truly,
J B. G.
Now, business men of Hickory, what
have you to sav ■ Are vou standing
~ • o
to your town paper? Are you sup
porting it and Hickory as you
puff Hickory—which it has done
without ceasing—and yet jou do
not carry your end of the pole by
supporting it in what it says by
slfowing to the outside world that
you are here and that Hickory has
business and manufacturing iilter
°
terests to be proud of. A paper
can't stand alone and do it all. Will
you stand square and do your part
or will you not ? We have worked
hard to give the citizens of Hickory
such a paper as they deserve and
1 yet many of the principal business
men of tlm town do not advertise a
word. The consecjuence is we loose
money on every issue. Take a card,
if nothing more. You get a profit
woith more than the expenditure
besides helping to increase the pop
ulation of Hickory and thereby lielp
ing your business. A paper never
has been supported here. Will you
not support one properly so that
you can have the benefit of illustrat
ted trade issues— FßEE?
You expect everything pufl'ed: so j
advertise aud show that we have
grounds for puffing and lend a sup
port adequate to the maintenance of
a live paper.
We will you ?

On last Tuesday, about noon, a
heavy thunder storm arose.
This was the first of the season
Theie was very little wiud but a
hard rain. The lightning played on
the electiic light wires without do
ing any damage.
During the storm the lightning
struck the German Reformed church,
tearing out one side of the feteeple;
and knocking off some moulding on
the inside.
The "sling shot has done about
enough mischief to demand the
attention of the city law-makers
