Setzer and wife have gone to housekeeping in the neat little dwelling east of the residence of Mr. D. P. Crouse. The AVeather Bureau reports, now being daily, transmitted to Hickory, have so far been quite accurate in fore casting the weather. Mrs. Pierce Abernethy, near Pene lope, died Tuesday, Jan. 15th. Her mortal remains were interred the fol lowing day in Amy's churchyard Messrs. Allen & Leonard received a shipment of goods from Richmond, Va., on the 17th inst., and, when the goods were opened, they discovered a shortage of 75 pairs of shoes. Mr. J. C.

On Friday'" we had the nleasure of meeting Mr G. M. Long, of Boone, who was in the city en route to Char lotte. "We found. Mr. Long an intelli gent well-informed gentleman. We trust when he visits Hickory he will not forget to pull our latchstring. The departure of Mrs. A. A. Shuford J for Florida has left her husband quite desolate- He looks already like he might have been wrestling with the la grippe or touched by the "frazzled" edge of a howling cyclone. If he pulls through it will bo wholly due to the vigor of his constitution. Mr. J. E. Abee has done an excellent job of painting on the storeroom fixed up for the millinery establishment of Miss Mary Roseborough. If we can accuratelyjudge an artist by his work, and we know of no better method, then Mr. Abee is a most excellent work man and, with pleasure, we ask for him a liberal patronage from the public. ' A little farm well tilled, A little cellar well filled, A little wife well willed." What could you wish a man better than that? The last is not the least by any means, but how can a wife be well willed-if she be the victim of those distressing maladies that make her life a burden? Let her take Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and cure all painful irregularities, uterine disorders,inflammation and ulceration, prolapsus and kindred weaknesses. It is a boon and a blessing to women. Thousands are in the bloom of health through using it, when otherwise they they would be tinder the sod. Are you a sufferer? Use it, or some day we may read .

We verily believe that no other State would fail to have a big time if it really had such a big day in its calendar. Bunker Hill and Concord and Ala mance and Moore's Creek Bridge were small affairs compared "with the Meck lenburg Declaration of Independence. North Carolina should celebrate it with parades and orations and rejoic ings. " So she should, but in some respects we North Carolinians are a curious folk. Charlotte Observer 12th.

Robert Ingersoll coming there to lec ture, says: Iugersoll has been delivering these lectures for fifteen years or more. Has any one of the many thousands who have heard him been made happier or better by any word he has uttered? Has his philosophy made a single hu man being more capable of meet ing the duties and trials of this life or better fitted for the life hereafter which even Ingersoll admits may exist? The only possible effect of this man's message is to create doubt and uncertainty. He may destroy the faith of some but he offers nothing in the place of that which he tears down. Again the Journal truthfully sa3's: The happiest people we know are those who have the most implicit reli gious faith. Their lives give daily evi dence that there is power in the con victions they hold of their duty toward God and man. Weseemenand women every day practicing self-denial, doing deeds of kindness and rising to heights of moral heroism because they wor ship a God whom they believe directs them along such lines of conduct. Stronger than all the laws of our stat ute books, steadier than all the pillarr. which we have set beneath the fabric of our government is the moral power of the Christian religion which abides in the hearts of the masses of pur peo ple. Without this source of self-restraint and of active benevolence gov ernment would be insecure, society selfish aiid corrupt and life one mad and reckless wrangle. ' What Christmas Has Uons for I he World. It is incalculable what Christmas and the spirit of Christmas has done and is doing for the world. The sun that rises on that day in our northern latitude may not melt the ice in the streams or the frost on the window panes, but there is no sun like it for thawing ihe human heart throughout Christendom. There is no day like it for assuaging enmities, and reviving tender memories, and drawing togeth er the estranged, and narrowing .the gulf between classes. During this day the world is a brotherhood. In the wondrous birth of a child all the world renews for some hours its childish faith and simplicity. The spirit of this event prevails far beyond the circles where it is regarded as a reality.
