Capt, D. P. Crouse is 1 now night
watchman. His appointment is mere
ly a slight recognition of his worth
as a citizen. It would have been diffi
cult to have found a more capable
man for the place.'
The family of Mr. J. R. B. Miller
has gone to Iredell county to reside.

Mr. B. R Anderson, who is now
drumming for a New York house, is
very much missed by many Hickory

handsome face and intelligence rivet
the attention of his fellow-men, and
are a satisfactory passport to'-social
acceptance in society anywhere.
Mr. Samuel Campbell is now chief of
police and also tax-collector, all of

city, dispensing wholly with a
seperate tax-collector.

Belle Boyd, the rebel spy, gave a
''thrilling narrative" of her perils and
services during the war in the Shenan
doah Valley at the Opera House Fri
day night. While the assemblage was
not large, the entertainment was de
cidedly interesting to every -one in at
tendance. Great excitement at this time among
the Hickory barbers. We now have
three tonsorial parlors, and there will
doubtless be sharp cutting in prices.
Now, if we. only had free coinage of
silver, many of the financial ills of a
badly oppressed people would be
things of the past.
Miss Blanche Little's school at Cher
ry ville, Gaston county, closed about
two weeks ago and she is again at
home. Miss Blanche is thoroughly
educated, and any community desir
ing a firs-class teacher could not very
easily secure one more competent than
she has shown herself to be. ''
Champ Crowell's child found the
4iost watch" and returned it to Rev.
J. L. Murphy and was paid $5. Had
the watch been held twentv-four
hours longer, the negro, child would
have received $10 for its return instead
of $5, as Mr. Murphy had notified this
paper to raise the reward to $10.
Col. M. E. Thornton was quite sick
several days past, and is still very
much indisposed, though he went up
to Morganton yesterday to attend the
Episcopal Diocesan Convention. He
had a bilious attack, with gastritis,
superinducing atrophy. Nearly all of
his work, besides that of our own, in
this issue, has been done by Ye Local.
The baccalaureate r sermon at Clare
mont College was preached Sunday
night, by Rev. J. A. Weston, to a
crowded house. It was a scholarly
effort pnd greatly appreciated by Mr.
Weston's auditors. The graduating
exercises of the college occur Friday
night. The literary address will be
delivered by Hqn. Chas. F. McKesson,
of Morganton.

Hood's Sarsaparllla Demonstrates
Its Merits.
A scrofulous or catarrhal condition
of the intestines is often the prime
cause of chronic diarrha?a, and when
the tissues are built up and healed by
the pure blood made by Hood's Sarsa
parilla, a cure is effected. Read this:
I believe it my duty to tell what bene
fit I have received from IIood' Srapa
rllU. I was afflicted with chronic dlar
xhesa for four years, and
Severe Parns4ln the Back
of my head and also In my side. I was
treated by two leading physicians bat
found no relief. I was advised by friends
Hood's5 Cures
to try Hood's SarsapariTla. I commenced
taking the medicine last May and have
taken over seven bottles. I found relief
after taking tha first bottle and now leel
better than 1 have for rears." Wni.IAV
