A Credit to the Projectors and all
Concerned.
•Ve sue not given, as a lule. to
commenting upon the disposition al
wa\ s manitest.ee] bv the \oung gen
tlemen of this place to exert them
selves for the entei tammeiit of
visitors within our gates. The suc
cess of their efforts hitherto and the
reputation acquired among those
who hsive enjoyed their suppers,
drives, dances etc.. have been a fitting
and perhaps a full reward.
\et we may be allcwed to state
publicly that no one feature of last
week's unprecedented celebration
was more attractive or delightful
than the annual Pair .Ball given on
Thursday evening by them and the
proprietor of the Inn. It was not,
as is usual, advertised; yet lovers of
the dance knew it would not be
omitted and came from distant cities
and in great numbers. We have
seen ]>o party where the ladies were
more affable and fair or the gentle
men more courteous and handsome.
\\ e attempt no mention of the
elegant costumes or the long list of
participants, either of which would
over run our already burdened col
umns.
The crowd was managed with per
fect ease and the good order was
most gratifying to those who had it
o v n
in charge.
But few places cm boast the
social dances of Hickory and few
houses the accommodation of the
"Inn." Tne gas may flicker but the
flying feet never.
I.iitcolti Court.
Judge Connor is holding Liucoln
court this week. His charge to the
grand jury was comprehensive and
forcible. The docket was small and
the cases were for minor offenses,
i The case against Massev for miil
burning went ofl under ;i decision of
the Supreme court (plashing-the in
dictment and thus ended a long and
vexatious prosecution. A case
against a negro man and a woman
for unlawfully living together devel
oped ttie fact that they Itad gone to
S. C. ami been married by a colored
preacher to save the tax on marriage
imposed by a stupid X C. Legisla
ture. We hope the next Legisla
ture. will repeal this abominable and
anti marriage law.

The ordinary duties of a reporter's
existence are more laborious thsm
pleasant, for the reason that they
grow iiksome. Asa general tiung
they are of that stereotyped nature,
of which one so soon tires, and it is
very seldom that one of the.-e imps
of the quill meets with an a flair that
is so gorgeous, grand and gav, that
PoO « '
to think of having to tell the people
what il really is. at first seems a
task that would require the strength
of Fleicules, the learning and powers
of description of Macau lay, aud the
tongues of several people that we
might mention. When the first
shock is over and the imp ceases to
be overawed, then it is si pleasure to
bend every energy to si task requir
ing more than ordinary exertion.
t -i i
So it is with us and the* HicUory
Fair.
Every bedy knows it was a suc
cess and we do not care to conceal
the fact. It was a sit jcess beyo id
our most, sanguine expectations.
We said we were going to have a
big fair but who exnected such a
P *
: display, -ueh a crowd and so much
fun.
We want to convey an idea of
what the Hickory Fair was to our
j many readers but w» don't wield si
pen that can write the words,
i Dark and lowering hung tne clouds,
as though they v.nailed tc> the
' horizon, all dav Monday, and when
. on Tuesday morning a heavy fog en
everything like a mantle, we
felt gloomy. If it rained all week
j the Fair must fail. However before
six belis the mantle was torn asun
der and bright and clear shone out
the sun
TTESDAY —FIRST D\Y.
The first day, before noon, was
taken up in the formal opening »f
the Fair. An immense procession
. marched from the public square
headed by our deservedly popu
lar Miiitury Opera Band. And just
here let lis remark that we are
prouder than ever of our band.
The boys played better than ever
and and we more strongly than
ever claim the pennant The after
noon was taken up with s. display of
,-tock. races and other amusements.
WEPM SP Av.
At 9 o'clock the 4th Reg, Band
appeared on parade, alter
which csiuie si general display oi
stock and we don't think the display
. of tine cattle could be excelled in the
> whole State.
Hon -John S Henderson's address
was delayed a little, but when it
came tne enthusiasm of the crowd
1 showed how much Catawba loves
t her Congressman. The crowd after
dinner much exceeded all expecta
tioi;s and races and other amuse
m« iits were given for their benefit.
mriiSPAY.
Thursday was the big day, blue
ribbon day, alliance da-, the day of
si grand display of a great crowd of
Catawba's grand and great hearted
) people. At 10 o clock. Maj.Robbin>
addressed the crowd. After a pa
rade of the band Hon Llias Kerr
addressed the ] e pie on the alliance
Then came a display of farmers
; in line ami tae awarding of the pre
mium of S-o to the alliance having
the greatest number of members on
i the giounds.
Maple Grove alhance came first
. a list of the members of which we
publish elsewhere. Wo are sorry
that we were not furnished with a
r ' list of Wesley Chapel alliance, which
took second premium. Suow Creek
f alliance was also in line N\ith o"
1 i i
members.
* The remainder of the day was
' ' made enjoyable by an interspersed
program of races, tugs-of-war. etc.
Tilt CROWD
- which by long odds was the largest
L ever gathered together in Catawba
county was estimated by unbi i ed
judges at 16.000 1 his seems a lit
tle extravagant but the gate receipts
show that there were over 10,000
people in the grounds on Thursday.
Burke aud Caldwell won the tug of
war—one heat-—and the Catawba
end the other.
FRIDAY.
The crowd was good anil enjoved
an interesting program of races, foot
races, bicycle races, walking matches,
etc.
A walking match between Mr. J.
G. Hall and Mr. Newton Whitem r
resulted in Hall's being badly out
walked and Whitener's getting hi-
S.j, a natural consequence of a town
man trying to outwalk a n a live
country farmer.
FARMERS' H\nn.
This department was specially de
serving of commendation. We have
never s?een a better display of farm
products. It showed clearly how
far Catawba "leads in this line.
FLORAI. H\r.n.
While the floral hall presented a
good appearance the proper interest
was not taken in it by the ladies of
Hickory. This was their depart
ment and we are sorry that the dis
play did not represent them. Those
who took an interest in it, however,
deserve much praise, but the trouble
was, *o many of our ladies took no
interest in the matter.
Withal we are glad to say that
every one seemed pleased. The big
man and fat babv were both here
and the show of birds, etc.
There was no quarrelling and ev
erything passed off most pleasantly
aud successfully. All praise be to a
town and a county that can hold two
such fairs as were held in Catawba
this year.

(>ne of the nicest, prettiest smd
most beautifully arranged depart
! ments of the Hickory Fair was the
art gallery—a new addition. We
failed to say any thing about it in
the fair article because something ru
somebody interrupted us. The gal
lery building was built this year and
was well filled with pictures of ali
descriptions, principally from the
brushes and crayons of those who
have attended Claremont College.
The exhibit attracted, as it de
served, great attention, smd won a
