On last Saturday morning, bp tween ( .) and 10 o'clock, the alarm o fire was sounded through the street? On investigation, a dry kiln belong ing to the PLuenix MTg Co. wa found on fir 3. Nothing could b( done, except to protect surrounding property, and the kiln burned down It was amusing, however, to see tin city fire department tugging awa l at a small squirt-gun. tiying to ex tricate it from a ditch, into whicl some boys had pulled it. It woulc have made one smile to see tlie crowd trying to mend a few feet o "holey* hose with rags, sacks, etc. and to see the water which as bailee into this squirt gun all run out a the holes in this "holey" hose befon it could be forced to ihe nozzle ai the end of a few feet of "holey" hose After working, pulling, tugging, yel ling, etc., the tire department sue ceeded in sprinkling a small patl which ended its career before ii reached the burning kiln, whicl burned down without bein' sprinkled. Damage, 535. News here yesterday said Kilraiu had died from the beating Sullivac gave him. Christianity will shed nc tears at this. A man whose onlj ambition in life is to be the champioi tighter of the world is not tit to live Sullivan is guilty of manslaughter and should spend the ballance of ins days at hard work in the peni tentiary.

Read this ■ letter: FLINT, Micli, July 3. 1889. I EDITOR PRESS AND CAROLINIAN, Dear Sir: { Enclosed find two dollars, which i- fifty cents more than my subscription for one year. I consider the PRESS AND CAR OLINIAN a good, wide-awake paper and well worth a liberal support.. You are on the right track and if the people of Hickory and surrounding > country do not know when they have a good thing they ought to sink'. A paper like yours does more to adver ' tise a town than a thousand men could do by talking. Hoping you success and a liberal support I am Yours Truly, A. J. W. Kiiie Potatoes, The evidence accumulates that , this is the "garden spot of the world." The finest climate and the > purest water insure the best of i health to man and be-ist.

A: L. R R. last Monday morning, which delayed the train four or five hours. A truck broke while the train was passing over Catawba River bridge. No one injured 1 Hickory is pushing right ahead, i It is one of the livest. mo-t wide awake towns in the State. The new wagon works, new business houses. 3 new dwellings, anil electric lights, s show very commendable entei prise* e on the part of its citizens.—Lincoln Courier. Water: Water!! Water!!! The last Municipal ejection was considered, reported and accepted as a success for the "wet" ticket, and there is dailv living-, staggering and •. r rn n muttering evidence that Hickory is a "wet" town, but it is not the kind of wet that extinguishes tire. The tire Saturday was the ninth or tenth in this town in less than three years, costing the losers more than S">0,000. It would seem this amount of expe rienoe ought to be sufficient to wake up the people and the chosen guard ians of our interests to the increas ing demand for more water for tires if not less tire-water for citizens. The safety of property and the peace and quiet of the citizens de mand some protection in the shape of water works. Judging the future O by the past we need water works and judging our town by the fate of others we need water works. A word to the wise is sufficient and the above ought to wake up our "City Fathers." We need WATER WORKS! Oiie-Sevctitli "(;»t Tliere." The coon in the mail car is play ing smash with the transmission of the ma.is. Ft-r two weeks we have been trying to get our paper to Blowing Rock, and only three copies have reached there. One of these had been out m Tennessee and in some way was lucky enough to come in byway of Asheville. Where the others are we hope to learn in the course of time. There is no excuse for this negligence, and W" intend to make personal exertions to have it remedied. Complaints also come from other points in Western North Carolina. It seems impossible to get a paper to anv point in the west ern p fM't of the State with any de gree of regularity. These facts will be laid before the breeches-maker as food for rejection.—Charlotte News. A street row in Asheville Sunday night resulted in the death of Pres c ton Jones, and the severe wound ing. with rocks or sticks, of W. F. Justice. Justice is in jail for killing .Jones, and Clebuin Jones, a brother of the deceased, is in jail to await the result of Justice's wounds. It is said they were not drinking. But tjuere.
