Hickory*h Sporting Grounds.
The fact that Hickory is encom
passed by a scope of country special
ly suited to sporting is being real
ized by many, and people from the
North are coming here to enjoy the
shooting of juail, and for the pur
pose of training fine-blooded bird
dogs. Game is abundant, and the
country and climate well suited for
the sport.
Several parties have bten here
this season and have expressed
themselves as well pleased. Mr.
Stokes, of New York, who is worth
over twenty millions, accompanied
by a party consis ting of Richard
Croker (Tamany s idol) and his three
sons are here now. and have had
some fine shooting. They express
themselves as highly pleased with
the Inn, the country, the climate
and the sporting. This party, ac
companied by Mr. R. F. Cobb, who
is said to be the finest shot in the
city, were out Tuesday and were
very successful.
Mr. Cobb and his son have killed
413 quail in a month. Mr. Cobb
has fine dogs, and is always ready
for a jaunt.

BRAZIL A REPUBLIC.
DA FONSECA PRESIDENT.
Monarchy Doomed in America.
Dom Pedro 11. has spent his life
m teaching his people to govern
themselves and it has cost him his
throne.
If the best information obtainable
is correct the Brazilian revolution
has overturned the empire and set
up a government of ami by the peo
ple. This being so, there is not a
monarchy, strictly speaking, iu
the Americas, and the Republic
reigns supreme. The feature of this
revolution which will challenge the
attention of the world is that it was
bloodless.
Dom Pedro H upon whose regal
head the blow tails, has for years in
culcated in his subjects those pro
gressive and self-enabling principles
which leave him throneless to-day.
Tis said his son-in-law had publicly
proclaimed that if the people wished
it their ruler was ready to resign
his authority. He is a "gentle
scholar and genial gentleman; ' the
revolt casts no aspersion upon his
former rule.
A Mistake.
The new opera house when com
i pleted will be an ornament and cred
it to Hickory. It is on the third
lioor of a handsome three story brick
building, and is owned by a stock
company. The scenery is being
painted by Mr. F. A. Grace, an art
ist of considerable skill and fame.
L'he hail will seat about twelve hun
dred people and will be supplied
with the most approved mechanical
effects, stage fittings, opera chairs. J
etc.—Ashevilie 1 >emocrat.
From present indications Elliott's
Grand Opera House will be finished
on time. They are certainly "hust
ling" things. Rut our esteemed con
temporary, the A-heville Democrat,
docs Flliott iv Flliott an uninten
tional injustice in stating that the
building is owned by a stock com
pany. We are surprised, as we
thought everybody knew that they
own the building exclusively, and
are as proud of it as a ben is of his
first pants, and they have a right to
be proud. It is an ornament to
Hickory and will unquestionably be
the 1 icst equipped opera hall in the
South.

T.ast Tuesday night was a particu
larly dark night and several more
electiic lights are badly needed
Some of the principal parti 1 of the
city are sadly neglected. \\ e speak
from experience and after wading in
mud. falling in ditches and meet in « r
n n
with divers other mi-haps just for
want of light, we know more light is
needed. Fast. Ninth East and West
HICK ry have a right to claim that
pait of the funds of the city treasury
be expended in giving them their
pro rata of light. Au Arc light
should be placed on the hill above
the spring: one should be placed on
the corner below the M. E. Church
at the begining of the plank walk
and one should be placed somewhere
in the western part of the city
where it will do the most good.
This should be attended to at once
and we hope our city fathers will
heed this call From these parts of
the citv come a good representation
of the tax and it is not right to
s.ight the people in this matter.

The Charlotte Chronicle describes
the first time-lock safe brought to
Charlotte, which was put into one
of the b.mks there last week. It.
adds that they are very new things,
and says there are not live in the
State. The Rank of Catawba, at
• this place, h;»s a time-lock safe
which it placed in its vault last May.
It was very probably the first to be
brought to the State. —Newton Fn
ter prise.
Rrethren, \ou are both a "iitt.e
ofi." Time locks are not such new
things. They have been in exis
tence for a number of years and
i there must be at least twenty in the
' State.
Single-timers aie old things hut
the consolidated double-timers mch
as Mr. Shu lei* has in the Rank of
Hickory ( huh bank is the pride o(
the South) i- of the most improved
style. Krother Williams is badly
otV. He should read the papers
more closely. Hickory had a time
lock years before the Rank of Ca
tawba was dreamed of. Pardon us
for the correction.
