Jenkiiis-joiieH Vendetta. On last Friday the old warfare be tween the .Jones and Jenkins crowd was renewed. Lewis Jenkins was riding along when one John Jones met and opened fire on him. Jenkins es caped unhurt but Lis Lorse was ! killed. On Sunday John Jones accompa nied by Columbus Jones went to Lewis Jenkins' house for the pur pose of cleaning out tae ranch. Lewis shut himself up in his house and stuck his shot gun through a ciark and emptied its contents into the back of Columbus Jones. The Joneses at lasi reports were still on the hunt, swearing they would have blood before they gave up the chase. This warfare has been going on for some time and both factious have been gmltv of enough mischief h n to deserve to spend the rest of their lives in the penitentiary. Your Attention. Is especially directed to the ad vertisement of E M. Andrews, the furniture dealer, of Charlotte, X. C. Mr. Andrews has been in busi- Ucsst about nine years and has a State reputation for doing just what he says. He carries the largest stock of furniture in the State and his terms are the easiest. He al so does a large business in handling pianos and organs of all makes and his prices are lower than \ou can buy an instrument at the factory, if yon need any furniture or an or gan or piano see his advertisement atid write him for particulars. Don't send your money North but try E. M. Andrews. Judge ijick loin \he Giand Jury in. Statesville last week that the I*. S. Court was the best for the protection of life and liberty of any on the earth, and there are some cases that make it look so. Recent ly two Arizona Indians were convict ed of crimes in the L . S. Court and sentenced to a term of imprison ment. Their lawyers contended against the jurisdiction of the Court, and succeeded in having the case tried in the Tel ritorial Court, w here the Indians were convicted and sen tenced to be hanged. Now they say they like the I nitt d States way the best and want to scalp those law yll s. \ Tlie Cronin J u r> . The Cronin jury was completed la.st week. Seven weeks have been spent making it up. There were 1091 jurors summoned of whom i' 27 were excused by counsel "lor cause." There were 17 ") peremptory challenges, of which the defense used O 7 97. When the last juror was ac cepted the cb feuse had only three challenges It 11. and the State had r» 22. If it takes as iug, in propor tion, to try the case as it has to get a jury we will not heir of the ver dict until sometime next year. A Scarcity ot Coal.

THE HICKORY MILITARY OPERA BAND, OF THE 4TH REGIMENT. i Attend* the liatallion Inspection; Is ers Itself witli >lor> and Honor ary Distinction. The inconvenience one experiences in traveling is often counterbalanced by the amusement one derives fiom the study of interesting specimens of humanity and in listening to those specimens discourse upon some transpiring event. "Yes, a big pow-wow is going on in Charlotte to-day, and they are having a big time. It is the inspec tion of the 4th Regiment and it is worth 25c to see the Drum Major of that baud. "What band is it ?" "The Hickory Band, and"' "Is Hickory a large town ?" '•No. It is a small town but they have got a h—l of a big band there. They are just cjvered with brass buttons and wear helmets with horse* tails stuck in the top. You just ought to see that Drum Major. I tell you he's a bird. He is covered all over with gold strings and weais a hat as big as a half bushel with about ti:ree feet of ostrich feathers in the top, and it would make your head swim to see him throw that stick. That is the finest band I ever saw."' The abo. e conversation was over heard on the C. C. train from Char lotte last week. Of course the spice of the narrative is lost —because expression and in tonaticn cannot be represented on paper. It, however, shows what an imprsssion the H. M. (). B. makes wherever it goes, and it tickeled the vanity of the special reporter of the PRESS AND CAROLINIAN to hear such compliments for the band which is the pride of Hickory. When the boys got oft* the train and marched up town they carried everything with them. They were entertained in royal style by the Hornets and thown i very eouitesy by tne cuizens of Charlotte. At 4 o'clock p. m. the regiment matched to the base ball park, where the inspection came oft*. There again the bo.\s won t .e day and the hearts of those in command of the battalion. Upon the recommenda tions of Maj Gen. Cameron and Col. Anthony, the H. M. (). 13. enlisted in the State Guards and is now a per mauent feature of that body, and the regular band of the 4th Regiment. By t Lis step the band secures an appropriation from the State and in addition they will be furnished new uniforms by the State. 1 his is the tirst band that has en list* d since the war. It is a high honor but is well deseived by the band which is universany admitted to be tlie best band m the State. On Friday night the banl serenaded the Lord Mavor. ot n iriotte, who received and toasted them as we.i became one in ins position, 1 L Mayor of Hickory wa- in the ung and m his t!uent style contested iL*- right to compliment with I lis Honor, the M tyor of Cbar.otte. After this the boys were received an i honored by the Hornets at the • C entra. Hotel and ail tLe memv-ers of ttie band declare the trip tn most enjoyable oue of their experi ence. Bov-, you well leserve it all and we are proud to own \ou. Alliance Meeting*. » Dr. D.

Col. Long, State Lecturer, is also expected to be present. So come one and all, to their meeting, and let us have a good time. By order of the Ex Committee, H. A. FORNEY, County Lecturer. An ICditor With ;i Horn. If the editor of The Monroe Reg ister and i'is Horn will cool oft*and read again what the PRESS AND CARO LINIAN said about Perry's card they will find it made no charge at all against the Horn, whose denial and explanation is nearly as damaging as Perry's card. The Register is informed that the PRESS AND CAROLINIAN has busiuess wherever there is corruption and wickedness in high places; that J. A. Perry can prove as good a character in this country as Horn can in his. and that no warrants have been issued against the Burke lynchers, and that is the reason "why these men have never been arrested." Thar now ! A Mistake. In the recapitulation of our new advertisements last week appeared the follow ing : "BANK OF HICKORY. — To rent." meaning that the Bank of Hickory had something to rent. We understand that about a hundred people, whose stupidity must be phenomenal, have enquired at tin bank for information concerning the renting of the Back of Hick' ry. No, gentlemen, the Bank of Hickory is net for rent or sule either. Prob ably we should have been more ex plicit and we want to correct the mistake. The trouble that one line has caused shows clearly, however, what bene.its oue gets fiom a aver using m the PRESS AND CAROLINIAN. is It von? A large number of subscriptions to this papt-r will expire Nov 14th, which is two }ears from tLeconsoli dation of the two papers. Many owe for the two years and il they do not settle by that time their names wiil be dropped from our list and their account sent out or collec tion. We are waiting very petientiy to write receipts for some delin quent subscribers that might be mentioned. This is the last year that some of tLehi are going to dead beat Us out of the paper.
