The experience of six months has shown that the college will need double its present accommodations for its next year. As soon as the commencement was over, a subscription list was quietly passed around among the friends of progress here, and on last Wednes day it was turned over to Messrs. Elliott iV Elliottt, contractors, with Mr. I). W. SI iulers personal guaran tee that it should pay 53,000. A contract based upon Mr. (Traces plan was at once sighed, and it is expected that the work will be fin ished by September -Oth. IsSi). We congratulate Hickory and Pres. Sanborn—the one 011 thissplen did example of its good sense and public spiiit. the other on the cer taint}' of being able to receive the in creased number of pupils who will flock to our College with the certain ty of finding there the best buildings, the highest grade of scholarship and the finest female school in North. Carolina. Nothing adds to and sustains the high character of a community as much as good schools. The people of Hickory fully understand this and intend to keep our educational ail vantages up with th best in the land.

Your correspondent arrived here at and when lie beheld the splendid electric at a great distance, he feit that he was approa ching a town of unusual push and activity. Hickory claims a population of .'J,500, and they are full of grit, pluck and perseverance. There is harmo ny. pudlic spirit and concert of ac tion among all classes. HICKORY'S FINE HOTEL. The Hickory Inn monument to the pride and progress of the buis ness men of Hickorv. The building ~ o is one of the most beautiful aud unique structures of the kind I even saw. It reminds me of the famous Lur.tv Inn of Virginia. The struct ure is the Queen AHUM oat tern with (io hie towers, and the view from the observatory commands a range of mountains the m >st magnificent ill the State. The interior of tlie hotel i> finish ed in native pine, and is leased by Mr. Frank Loughran' a Baltimorean of nieins and experience. Electric bells and all modern aud useful ap pliances have been added There is no single industry that conduces more to the growth and popularity of a place th -.i that- of good hotels and poorly cooked tood and miserably managed hotels, have been the greatest drawback to our sourhem prosperity. The Hickory pepoie are wise in conceiving and carrying out thi enterprise, ai.d the} will never have cause to regret the expenditure. DOTS AND DASHES. Your correspondent had a short inteiview with Mayor J. G Flail. He is president of the Piedmont Wagon Company. and is engaged in erecting an additional building of feet. The capacity of the company is O.diiii v.ngons a year Claiemont Coilege, a non-sectarian institute for young ladies, is beauti fully located, and contains *2l acies of walks and grounds.

Owing to the unfortunate sickness and absense of Jml/e Connor, Jud« r e o o Siiipp opened Catawba court MOll- day. His charge to the grand jury I was brief but strong, especially in ! the sj/w character of our crimi- . | | na> docket. He told them he had travelled the S at" from east tn west 1 and our docket was the worst he ! had found, ami it was because of a J slack enforcement of the law. He forcibly impressed upon the jury the necessity of doing their duty, 1 regardless of what others might say of do, as the surest means toward the suppression of crime. There were 147 cases of all ! grades on the State docket, and the i Judge might have seen that about one fourth of them were indictments • against Kerr Setzer for retailing j liquor contrary to law. while said , Setzer had llown from the wrath oi Judge Mcßea, into the wilds of Washington Teritorv. The worst cases on our docket are against Tom lirinkiy who still evades arrest. Ihe case against Henry L Aber- i nethy was continued on account of 1 his sickness.
