LOchinVar Is
Come Out
of South
By GABBY DETAILS.

"HE young Lochlnvars seem 10
be coming out OF the south
\ these days. Or, to be more
explicit. from St. Louis. One On
aha girl has recently announced her
engagement to st. Louis man and
now it is noised abroad that another
NAV follow suit. The girl is petite
with brown hair and merry
chucklc, and is frequently besieged
for the name OF her cold cream by
friends less blessed by nature than
herself. She is devoted to dogs, and
has decided literary ability. Whether
she will give up her ambitions tor
literary career for more domes-
tic existence, Gabby does not know.
The bold Lochinvar lives UP to
his old-time namesake, being tall
and dark, with certain dash about
him, and an ability, so much appre-
ciated by the fair sex, to wear his
clothes like the nonchalant gentle
men on the style boards. Another
point in common with the romantic
hero of an earlier day is his fond
ness for treading a measure, II the
phrase can be applied to what one
does with the feet nowadays while
the saxophoncs moan. At any rate
the Young couple are frequently
seen together at the Brandeis roof
in an exclusive party of two. And
still more discriminating, someone has
seen the gentleman i'll a jewelry
store. But then, lots OF people bought
their Christmas presents in jewelry
shops.

CHANCE TO SECURE
UNUSUAL BARGAINS

Hickory is Just on the eve Of a
sensational bargain event-a sale
during which thousands of dollars
worth of seasonable merchandise, the
very latest styles in ladies' ready-to-
wear, dress goods, mems clothing, hats
and shoes, is to be sacrificed and
according to the announcement of w.
L. Slcdge, the merchant, who is to
thus sacrifice this stock, it will be
the greatest bargain event in the his
tory of the city.
MI. Sledgc gives the public to
understand that it will be an unusual
sale in many respects, and one in
which the prices placed on the goods
and the savings, buyers will gain are
the most unusual that have ever been
obtained in Hickory. 81 s'<sst
The object Of this great bargain
event is based on a profit sharing
sale and on glance at the prices
shown will convince the most skeptical
that this great annual event will mean
many dollars saved to the buying pub
lie. The big sale starts at 8 a. nj.

WE GOT TT WRONG
Raleigh Times.

Raleigh Times.
Thus does the Hickory Record, it
seems to us, draw an improper conclu-
sion from the tale of couple of swind-
| ling stock statesmen who operated in
Davie and Randolph counties:
"Davie, and Randolph people were
not so down in the mouth that they
could not bite the tempting bait dang
led before them by two alleged schen1-
ers, who were selling stock in spring
less shade concern in High Point. Any
banker will give information as to
what securities to buy and there is
absolutely no excuse for any man or
woman loading up on worthless stuff. =
Manifestly the Record thinks it Wass
too much faith in human nature that
produced the avidity to purchase stock
in a springless shade factory at High
Point. Not so; it was lack of faith. Did
the Record ever have its britches in
one hand and one of the spring sha des
in the other when the spring refused
to catch? Randolph and Davie folks
have been through that experience ana
they know human nature, being them
selves about the human-est to be found
anywhere.
1t wasn't High Point as location
that fetched 'em, either, except that
High Point is known to have made
some money putting the holes n Ran
dolph red oak and selling it for some
thing more than song and rather less
than the price of touring car. 1t was
the idea. Davie and Randolph want
something useahle and serviceable.
And the springless shade hit 'em
right where they lived.

THE ASHEVILLE CONFERENCE

The conference at Asheville last
week, which was called by DR.. Joseph
Hyde Pratt, state geologist, to dis
cuss plans for the development OF
Western North Carolina, in our opin-
ion, overlooked great opportunity
when it limited its scope to the devel-
opment of the tourist industry alone.
Large portions Of western North
Carolina, having nearby points pf seem
l. beauty for development, are natur-
ally not AS much interested in the tour
ist as other parts where nature has
been more lavish. To effect the de-
velopmcnt Of this section on the scale
it deserves is going to mean the expen-
diture Of large sum Of money, and
the financing Of the whole proposition
would have been much easier had the
conference included industrial devel-
opment in its agcnda. It will be hard
70 convince counties like Catawba that
they should put up good dollars for
the sole purpose Of bringing tourists
into the Land Of the Sky when they
have 80 little to offer in the way Of
scenic beauty. t
Development Of the western par. Of
the state in an industrial way is so
correlated to the development from
TIC standpoint Of the tourist that they
should Both come under the head Of
Great Western North Carolina Devel-
opmcnt Association. Let us hope that
when the board Of directors meet it
will enlarge the scope Of this oygani-
Eation,r which has such wonderful pos
abilities for bringing this, section Of
