Messrs H. Cheatham, H. W.
McKay and Frank Meadows made a
trip to Rocky Mount Tuesday on
their bicycles. The distance there
was covered in one hour and thirty

these gentlemen, who do not pretend
to be in the record breaking class.
A certain young gentleman, re
siding in Wilson, went over to Elm
City one day last week, and being
unable, to catch a train back home,
decided that there were more ways of
navigation than "in "palace cars," so
he proceeded to foot it, consequently
counted cross ties between the two
places. We have not been able to
obtain his record, but he is open to all

Hi It CtniiPi to Stay ? " , ;
At. the Minstrel On March- 23d
many complimentary remarks wera
made about the orchestra v;hich lur
nished for the occasion. It w.as
without doubt one of the best ama-
leur orcnestras ever organized in
Wilson. Now that they have shown
the lovers of music their success as an
organization, why not let it come to
stay? Nothing Will afford the citi
zens more pleasure than to have such
a band in their midst, and besides it
may prove a success financially to the
members. A month hardly passes
that some entertainment is not given
which requires such music.
The members are all good musi
cians. While they have only made
their initial appearance, the selections
were all well rendered. AH Wilson
people who have a pride in their
little' city will say, "Let the orchestra
be a permanent organization." '
