Gorton's original New Orleans
minstrels, a combination with an en
viable reputation for refined and ar
tistic performances, and composed
of strictly high class artists, includ
ing Prince Tanaka, the most won

appear at Shuford s Hall on Monday
evening Nov. 11th.
The Goldsboro Argus says: The
street parade of Gorton's Minstrels
in their handsome uniforms and
with their peerless "gold band' was
greatly admired by our citizens and
their excellent music thoroughly en
joyed. They had as fine an audi
ence last night as has b£en seen in
the Messenger Opera House in a
long time, and the frequent applause
that greeted their splendid SLOW all
during the excellent programme tes
tified the thorough appreciation of
their refiued and delighted audience.
Reserved seats are now on sale
at the drug store and E. L. Shu

\\ ithin the last ten days we have
had occasion to note the great
scarcity of small houses for renting
purposes in Hickory. We want peo
ple to come among us to live, but
how are we going to keep people of
limited means here when they can
not rent a house to live in f We,
through correspondence, influenced
a young man of ability and limited
capital to come here on a prospect
ive tour, and the only reason we
! could not hold him was that we
could not find a cozy little cottage
, fo'i him to live in.
This is a bad state of affairs on
, one hand and a good one ou the oth
er. It shows Hickory is booming
and is a good place to invest money,
and somebody who has money to in
vest can find no better paying in
vestment than to put it into nice lit
tle residences.

A I„iiHt Warning.
With the 14th of November closes

unless they pay up in ten days.

THE CATAWBA WOOD WORK CO.
IS ANOTHER ACQUISITION TO THE
MANUFACi JRiNG INJIiSThiES OF
HICKORY.
It Start* Work with an Order for
Fi>e Million Telegraph
Messrs. Kennier & Lake, of New
! York, have for some time been the
principal contractors for supplying
the various telegraph and railroad
syndicates with "wkisle-boards" and
telegraph "pegs." The sparsely
timbered North has proven inade
quate to supply tha materials neces
sary for the fulfillment of their large
standing contracts, and these gen
tlemen, with a trained eye, have
been casting about for a new tieid.
Our vast forests of virgin growth
have attracted them hither; here
they have found the woodman's
j Mecca, and here ti;ey have pitched
their tent.
Messrs. Kennier & Lake have se
cured the "Bysaner property" on
which to conduct their business,
i and ere many moons, the buzz of
*>
the saw and the din of the planer
will join in the chorus of Hickory's
prosperity.
This is a more colossal enterprise
than one would suppose, judging
from the character of their manu
factures. But when we state that
j they nave contracts of sufficient
enormity to necessitate the daily
shipment of two car-loads of their
products, some idea of its magni
tude may be gained.
The telegraph "pegs" are to be
made exclusively of locust; the
•/
"whistle-boards" of pine, and a con
tract for five million '"pegs" is an
item with which the new company
starts to work.
