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

TIE FAMOUS FOURTH
TAKES CHARLOITE BY STORM.
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.

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?
