In last weeks PRESS AND CABOLI -1 NIAN there appeared an anonymous communication from ••pejssum Hol ier, v hieh iias replied to par ti-My by Capt li. P K-inh ardt. of w ton. ? roiii last wr-i-ks Euternri-'*. we clip the following : ■»- o THE I'OSSCM JIOLLOW EDITOR. T> Oi«* Editor of th«; Newton Kiiterpri^f. • he Jt'ossum Hollow editor of the PRESS AND CAROLINIAN asks : "Is it true that for one dollar I can attend the fair four days and make all my entries free ■. lam told that all the other Fairs iu the coun ty charge you ten per cent, of nii the premiums you win and that the Hickory Fair gives the whole premi urn. (live iii«: a strait tip on this i >usines." In the abov paragraph the New t lot t';u fair is not mentioned but Captain Ibanhardt takes it up. and we wish to ask him for G. \V. cV father, if the ; premiums won last year were not i shaved 10 per cent ? A season tick et allows you to make all entries— 1 i except in speed classes—free, at the 1 lickory Fair.—EDITOR.] The Captain further remarks as follows : "The Hickory Fair was run squat e : ast > ear and every premium was! paid and it is the only fair in the county that did pay all the premi ums won." There you have been maliciously ' • 0 • rn -r imposed on again. The Newton Fair paid every premium After making a few other remarks ! the Capt. closes. Now then about that las* clause we wish to remark that someone has 1 i handled the truth very recklessly. Now we did not desire to bring this to light, but il has been forced upon , lus in defense of the Fair. How , about the premium won by J. \V. Garrison, of Morganton I Did nut the Secretary promise him second money if he won 1 Did he ever get . any of his winnings? Fnless it has ' been paid very recently and unless ; our informant is off, and we don't I think he is. it lias never been paid. , It is our opinion that our Pos sum Hoilet man was correctly m formed. —EDITOR.] tat Ready. Only twelve more days till the oldest and most reliable fair in \\. N. ( . will commence i.nd last lour days. Never has there been such fair promises of a grand success. This is the FARMERS fair, and the farmers are going to turn out in full force and make a display of their 'products, such as has never been seen. As to fine blooded horses—there will be more on exhibition here than ever before or than can be seen at any other fair. Great pains are being taken in making the floral hall ami farmers hall present appearances not to be equalled and every thing is being done to insure success and a good time to every one * Your Last i'liautc. All who settle in full by Oct. loth, and bring us in a new subscriber, may have this paper a year for one dollar. We make this offer to in duce delinquents to square up and 1 "-et on the cash basis. o We admire the forethought the Enterprise used in saving his mud till a time when it thought the New ton fair would be under full swav \ before we could get out another issue of this paper. We call attention to the advertise ments of Dr. J. H. Daniel, of Jones ' boro, N. C. He has shown us mi ( merous recommendations as to Lis i professional standing and makes a • fair offer to those desiring his serv -1 ices. Ibickcr\>, 11-lortb Carolina, CburjOav, September 12. ISSO.

Andrew Wilson was allowed to list his property for taxation, and relieved of double tax on the same'. M. J.

Long for their use lrom ; date. A petition was tiled by citizens of , Jacob's Fork township asking an 1 order tVa" a jury to change the Shel by road at Capt. Beck's, so as to mn with the old ridge road to G. M Yo del's held. The amended report of the jury , c.rdered to lay out a public road from P. L. Jones' to Hall's, on the road leading to Catawba, was con sidered, and, owiug to some dissatis faction on the part of some of the land owners, the report was set ! aside and the jury discharged and a new jury ordered to lay out the , road, and report to the Board on lirst monday iu October lisxt. Geo. Fry was declared a pauper, una allowed 5'2.00 per month f\>r his support from date. . * A. C. Boggs wa? a lowed to list his ' property for taxation- ai»d ""P.s leased from double tax on same. N. F. Hicks was exempted from poll tax for 1889, on account of phys ica 1 in ti rmi tv. H. L. Gilbert was exempted from poll tax for 1889, on account of poverty and infirmity. W. \J. Lowe was exempted frcm the license tax in two entertain ments at a concert in the town of Newton for charitable purposes. M. L. Carpenter was allowed to peddle goods, wares and merchan dise m the county at reduced rates of tax, he being physically unable to make a living by labor. The contract for re-covering the old court house was awarded to Geo. W Setzer. Bids for rebuilding the bridge at Cloninget s mill will be secured at the office of the Board, on or before the first Monday in Oct. next. Bids will also be secured on a contract for refitting the eld court room and for bar trimmings Arc., in the new. at same time. There seems to be more than one sell of George Wa shingtou. One of them has widely departed from the precepts of his fathei and han dles the truth very recklessly. If we owed the devil a thousand liars and he would not take this one in payment for the whole debt we should repudiate it. ille Lilfia Inlaiilry. The Asheville Light Infantry, of Asheville, N. C.. at their regular meeting last Friday night by popu lar vote decided to come to Hickory on Tuesday of fair week and take part in the exercises of the fair on Wednesday and Thursday. It will afford the people of Hicko ry great pleasure to welcome the A. L 1., and this company in full uni form on parade and the H. M. O. B. in full uniform will make things lively and entertaining. You can't afford to miss such a sight, so come to the fair. A Forgery. To 'h" Editor of th»- Newton Eut»T}>ri*»*. POSSUM HOLIER. Sept., sth. 'B9 The PRESS \M> CAROLINIAN in this we**l. s issue Duged our names to a • t r. f L;> o\v n get up \• rv Truj\. etc., VII I. \\ TON'S SON We clip the above from what i supposed to l»e a communication to the Newton Enterprise from Possum Holier, under tue above assumed LIAIUE. I'lie rest of tue communication we omit, as it has no connection with what we wish to sav and as it is made up of vile and venomous slander of the Farmers' Fair to be heal at Hickory on the 24th, 25th, 2»!th and 27th inst The man who claims to l>e Ge.irge \\ ashmgton s son, it seems is d void of a.l principle, in that vjie ' »uld write such an article, ta r , >ug Luat his unuie had lk-eu furged, and not have the courage to -i 1 , sign his r» al name. \\ lioev er he is we demand his name, and i Fraud him as a liar and blackmailer as tut; e above charge ot forging his name to a letter of our own get up. The letter in our last issue was i communicated to this paper and i now if the gentleman who wish es to malign the Hickory Fair or j this paper has any thing further to say let him say it over his own I name. We do not know where Possum Holler is but it must be near to j Newton. Our paper left here ' Thursday morning and got to Pus • O R* sum Holier in time for a communi cation to be sent to the Enter] rise that evening. If it is in Newton we would like to know it, and would also like to ' know who is the biggest dissembler in America. The attack was altogether uncalled I for and when an editor so far for ! gets the dignity of the editorial i chair and the tirst principles of gen tlemanly conduct, as to publish over an assumed name, an article se> j'u',l of venom, slander, and falsehood, as j did the ed.lor of 1 lie Newton Enter i piise last week, he should be sneered at by all lovers of justice. Mr En terprise we hold sou responsible ti.l you give the name of your contribu tor. We Are on tlie l>f !t*u*i \ c*. Hickory and the PRESS AND CAROLI ' NIAN are at heart friendly to eveiy body but there are some very small people and some very small papers, with much smaller editors, residing i in verv small towns who seem to delight in airing their petty jeal ousi s on ail occasions «nd placing themselves in antagf nistic attitudes, when really there is no cause for it. We don't like to quarrel but at the . same time we don't like to be im ■ posed upon and slandeied by peo i pie of the 22caiibie stripe. Our patience may give out one of [ these da}s. I»r. J. Kl.
