HICKORY PRESS: STAY 23. 1895. i Ijrm and arolinian - I'cBLixacu Ktkoy Tbcmuat bt THE HICKORY PRINTING COMPANY. Hickory, North Carolina. A BRIEF RETROSPECTION. To recall the consecutive ful fillment of our prophecies is not wholly devoid of pleasure to us, and we pre-ume we are no excep tion to the general run of men in this particular. Begging the reader's pardon we wish now to re yert to just three prophecies made by us within the past eighteen months. In October 1894, we warned the Democratic party in these columns that any attempt to "tote" Cleveland or to trample upon the free-coinage plank of the National Democratic plat form, in the approaching State election, would certainly over whelm us in disaster. Our advice was spurned by cuckoos and to day finds our opponents in charge otState affairs. 2. After reading copious ox cerpta from the mauuscript of Rev. Mr. Weston's book now pub lished, claiming ' that Marshal Ney was not executed in France but, escaping from prison fled to the United States and dL-d in NorthCarolina, we unhesitating ly affirmed that he had made out his case, and to successfully over throw his J roof, we must disre gard human testimony as wholly unworthy of the confidence of men. We also stated that Mr. W7eston was as charming and versatile a writer as wo had ever perused and that success w;ould attend the publication of the book. A few Wiseacres derided our affirmations and endeavored to belittle the author. Now, the Cook is published and has already met with the most flattering suc cess, and Mr. Weston has receiv ed encomiums as a writer from men whose unqualified praises stamp him as a man worthy to rank with the most renowned au thors; some placing him with such writers as Scott, Hugo and Dumas. 3. In the early winter of 1893 and '94, visiting the private school of Mrs. J. B. Beard of this city, when as a teacher she was an experiment with her pa trons and her school was small. At ourrequest she continued her school-room labors as though no visitor were present, and after a stay not exceeding an hour we returned to this office and said to our readers that Mrs. Beard was the most admirable and efficient teacher we had ever known. To day her school-room is overflow ing with pupils and she is recog nizee! by the community as being all we claimed for her. Wre rec ognized her genius and proclaim ed it. The success of her labors has already vindicated the accura cy of our judgment. We recall these things for the benefit of just a small portion of friends, who seem to be heedless of what is go ing on around them. The truth is the Press axd Carolinian takes a very great interest in the gen eral welfare of the people and in forms and advises them unselfish ly, and the people know it. That is why it is so popular among the people and often feared by those with axes to grind. ONE CITY NOT IN IT. All honor to Raleigh, the noble capital city of grand old North Carolina: That city had the man hood to stand strictly by its prin ciples in a very trying hour and not i be seduced by overweening smiles and words that seemed so innocent and harmless. The stato convention of the Democratic party which met at Raleigh last year made a plat form for the party and the people under which they were bound and pledged upon honor to sup port and defend it. One clause hi that declaration of principles de clared that the Democratic party of North Carolina was in favor of the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. Last week a young man named Boggs, formerly a newspaper re porter, who is traveling over th South soliciting delegates from "business men's organizations" to attend some sort of convention or conference at Memphis, -Tenn, to pass resolutions in favor of the single gold standard, met the "business men" and others at Raleigh. Young Boggs spoke his sweet persuading speak to the 'business men" and others and asked them to appoint a delega tion to go to Memphis and attend the meeting. The good people of Raleigh, one and all, actually absolutely, either refused or fail ed to do any such thing, and our capital city for one will not be re presented "officially," at least, in the big hurrah at Memphis for the single gold standard. ' - All honor for Raleigh ! It stands upon the principles its re presentatives enunciate for it and which are the laws of onr fathers. "Fire Limits." There are lit tle white painted sign boards re cently put up on the streets in Hickory quite near up to the public square,bearinr this legend. To an anxious enquirer of us what it meant we can state: No; it does not mean that the council has passed a law to limit a fire or confine itself to the post or any where else. It merely means that they will not permit a frame house to be built inside the Fire Limits. Marvelous Results. From a letter written by Rev. J. Gundennan, of Dimondale, Mich., we are permitted to make this extract: "I have no hesitation in recommending Dr. King's New Discovery, as the re sults were almost marvelous in the case of my wife. While I was pastor of the Baptist church at Rives Junc tion she was brought down with Pneu monia succeeding La Grippe. Ter rible paroxysms of coughing would last hours with little interruption and it seemed as if she could not survive them. A friend, recommended Dr. King's New Discovery; it was quick in its work and highly satisfactory in results. " Trial bottles free at O. M. Royster's Drug Store.

There was no minister to preach for the people, and the congregation scattered ; some went into other denominations. But there were a few members who were true to their church. They would meet in the old log building and hold prayer meeting. This .was kept up several years. After awhile a minister came along, began to preach for the people. He reorganized the congregation, members were added, the church was revived. From, that congregation six ministers have gone out, and Ave of them are direct descendants from one of those persons who met and held the prayer meeting. God heard and an swered the prayers of those holy men. Several years ago a congregation was organized at Moffltt's Grove. For some time it flourished, but reverses came, and the people scattered. The congregation was disorganized. Many of the members sought homes in other churches. But a few remained true. They prayed and waited for the Ixrd to re-establisli their church. After patiently waiting the Lord heard their prayer, a man came along, began preaching. The Lord blessed his labors, and as a result we have Cal vary Reformed church, a most flour ishing congregation. Some years ago several Reformed families moved" into the town of Thomasville. There was no Reformed church in that town. They were naturally invited to find for them selves a home in other churches. But the cultus of these churches was foreign to the spirit of the church of their fathers. They were true to their own church. They waited, and waited patiently. Nov we see erected in that town Heidelberg Reformed church. From these examples we may learn how necessary it is for us to be true to our church. Hold on, although at times everything is dark and dis couraging. The Lord will hear and answer the prayers of his people. Corinthian. A Conres of Re!ijrlns. The Parliament of Religions was one of the most successful of the many great gatherings of the people of all nations which were- held at Chicago during the Columbian Exposition. It attracted world-wid attention and was discussed in the presand the pulpit in languages. Its influence is believed to have been for great and lasting good in breaking doun the barriers of preju dice and bringing to the adherents of different systems and creeds a better understanding of each other's motives and methods. The success of that parliament is probably one of the principal causes which have led to the calling of a Pan-American Congress of Religion and Education to be held at Toronto, Canada, from the lsth to the 2oth of July next. A copy of the an nouncement of the gathering states that it will he composed of "repre sentative laymen and clergymen from every country, province, and State of North and South America, including Protestants, Roman Catholics and Hebrews," and "that accredited dele gates are expected from all county and State governments, as well as churches, educational and charitable institutions. Among the many prominent mem bers of the clerical profession who are said to have promised their attendance are Archbishop John Ireland, of the Roman Catholic Church ; Bishops Vincent and Hurst, of the Methodist Episcopal Church ; Bishop Gilbert, Episcopal, and President Harper, of Chicago University. Aboard of commissioners, consisting of one for each State or county, has charge of the interests of the congress. These gentlemen look to the appoint ment of delegates and attend to vari ous other preliminaries. The congress will be divided as follows : " Authors, editors, and publishers ; educational section, including colleges, academics, seminaries, and schools; philanthropic section", including hos pitals, asylums, orphanages, homes, reformatories, etc To thissection the State, county and municipal govern ments are invited to send specially ac credited delegates. "Woman's section, including temperance work and rescue work; denominational section; young people's section, including young peo ple's societies, Sunday schools, kinder gartens, missionary societies, etc." General sessions will be held each morning dnd evening, while the after noon will be devoted to separate meet ings of the sections. We do not un derstand that the gathering is called in the interest of the movement for church unity a consolidation of all the churches. Its object is to promote competition in good work, to exchange views as to methods of educating, re forming and evangelizing and not to contend over questions of creeds and try to bring all churches, sects and de nominations onto one platform. Milk, Butter. Eggs. Freslj meat, fish, water, fruit, vege tables, as well as milk, butter and eggs, are frequently loaded with germs of disease. If the stomach is main tained in a healthy condition, these germs are digested and eliminated from the system without producing any bad effect. Ayer's Sarsaparilla gives tone and strength to the diges tive organs, enables them to do their duty, and imparts the vigor of health to the entire system. Eastern capitalists who have bought a gold mine in California are trying to throw off $1000,000 of the debt by claiming that the ore was "salted" when their experts were investigating the mine's value. . SPECIFIC For Scrofula. "Since childhood, I have been afflicted with scrofulous boils and sores, which caused me terrible suffering. Physicians were unable to help me, and I only grew worse under their care. At length, I began to take AYER'S Sarsaparilla, and very soon grew bet ter. After using half a dozen bottles I was completely cured, so that I have not had a boil or pimple on any part of my body for the last twelve years. I can cordially recommend Ayer's Sarsa parilla as the very best blood-purifier in existence." G. T. RoxriAirr, Myersville, Texas.

"Ever see a crowd gather?" asked the man with chin whiskers as he lit a ci gar. . ' ' ' "2sa Can't say that I ever did." "I thought uot. The crowd was there when you caiue along. But I helped form thisoue," - "What did yon do?" . . . "Stopped to admire acute little shaver in a baby cab. The child was playing with a small dog, and the two made a 1 ictnre. " "But about the crowd?" "Some ladies stopped to look at the baby, then some children to play with the dog. That made a gathering on the sidewalk, and others wanted to see what they were looking at and there was soon a big crowd that couldn't see anjthing. " "Meanwhile you wero obstructing the sidewalk." "But you never saw u crowd dispersed as quickly. " "Policeman?" "Not much ! That baby wrinkled up its nose and lx?gan to cry. In two sec onds there wasn't a soul in sight.

There used to be olrl porter :jt a certain Irish railway station who was more remarkable for .independence of character than attention to his duties. On one occasion two of tho directors were traveling over theiinu and noticed that the name of this station was not called, the neglect being thi more fie rious as it was a jjit'o'ion. This was made the subject of complaint, and old Charley, who was the delinquent, was promptly brought to book and rcpri mantled. Ho was very wroth that any one should find fault with liini und thirsted for revenge. So, keeping a lookout un til he saw tho directors on their return journey, he stood opposite their carriage and shouted in a stentorian voice : "Cookstowu Junction! Change here for Randalstown, Custlcdawson, Mag herafclt, Moneynioro and all stations on the Cookstowu line and don't say, yo b laggards . ye wereu ' t to w Id. ' ' A n -wers. A Disappointed Man. "How much does the government al low me?" said a citizen to the income tax collector. "Four thousand dollars, " replied the official. "Here is a statement of my income, then," and he handed a paper to Uncle Sam's representative, who looked at it and then observed, with some .warmth of feeling : ' ' You have no occasion to file this. It shows an income of only $1,200. You don't need to file a statement unless your income is $3,500 or more. " "Didn't you say the law allowed me $4,000?" "Yes." "Well, my income was $1,200, and 1 file the statement so that the government can give me the difference, which I fig ure out to be $2,800. When do I get it?" After much expostulation the citizen was finally led out into the cool spring air. Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph. The Morning After.
