The home mission board of the A. R P Church met here yesterday shortly after nooa There were present Rev. Messrs. Orr, Miller, Todd and White. The first business which came up was the discussion of the Atlanta mission In an ticipation of Rev. G. R White, pastor of Ebenezer church, being sent to Atlanta, permanently, the congregation of that church sent a petition to the board pro testing. It was not the intention of the board of the church, however, to send him after the action several weeks ago. Rev. B H. Grier, of Okite, Missouri, will ba sent to Atlanta to remain until the meeting of riynod. Mr. White's report of the work in Atlanta showed that it was encour aging, and well worth the putt'ng of a missionary there. The First Presbytery of the A. R. P Church, which meets semi annually, will hold its spring meeting in the A. R. P. church here in April The delegates will not permit themselves to be enter tained by the citizens, but will stop at the hotels. THE KOBBIEON-BXLL WtDDItiO.

The Richmond & Danville pays well to have the passeniicr yard here properly lighted, and to lht end had large arc lights put on the depot building It also pays for the lights on the tall poles, one at the upper, the other the lover end of the yard. These latter, especially the lower one, where the. express and bag gage are handled, are out about half the time, and the expressmen and baggage men are ieit to group around in the dark nets. Why all of the lights which are in tended to be lighted cannot be kept so, ana why there has to be so much com plaint about it, is strange. The fault is certainly not with the railroad, for it is paying for the light, or rather it is in versely true that it is paying for dark ness DO TOD PAINT OR DBAW ? If 8o, Ton Are Wanted This Afternoon at the Seminary. Let every artist in the city remember that he or she is wanted at the Seminary this afternoon at 4 o'clock to help form an art league. The call means just what it says. If you are an artist, or lover of art, yon are expected There is consid erable talent among the young girls. The league would be an education especially to them. They could listen to art dis cussions which would in itself be im proving to them as youthful artists, Charlotte is right wide awake now, commercially, intellectually, musically, and in the matter of art Boon will be. A Good Show, It Has Always Been. "The Private Secretary" will be pre sented at the city hall Monday night. This pretty and humorous play which has,in all probability,delighted more peo ple than any stage work even given to the public, was presented in New York sev eral years ago and made its debut at the Madison Square Theatre The run at this house was unprecedented. It has been seen here several times, but as pre sented now is said to be better and more attractive than ever. In the leading role, that of Rev. Robert Spaulding, Mr James K. Hack ett, son of the celebrated "Falstaff" Hackett, will make his bow to Charlotte theatre-goers as a full-fledged star. He is prominently connected in New York, both professionally and socially. He has been associated with Augnstin Daly and A. M. Palmer companies, making several distinct hits in each of these famous organizations. He is also a graduate of the New York College. The company engaged to support Mr. Hackett haa been selected with a special view to fitness in the characters assumed Sharon net Observing Lent. Mr. Edgar Walker's house in Sharoi is the general rendezvous for the young people of that neighborhood. Iast night all gathered there and enjoyed a aociable. Another Sharon event which gave not a few pleasure was the party ; Thursday night at Mr, J. M. Howard's, i The at tendance was large, aad the pleasures numerous. AS iOPERiV HOUSE f NEEDED. aim COULD BIHAD AT UHLl COST. A Pla8ngreated for ReaaedellBg the City Hal , AudltorlnJB A Bewl floor avmd taw All That Kecessary A Hatter te Interest All. Every day some stranger asks why Charlotte does not have an opera house. Charlotte has beautiful churches, a fine government building, city hall and other: buildings for the use of the general public What is needed at present to make Charlotte a modern city is a first class court house and a theatre. While the present court house will an swer for all practical purposes, there should be some steps taken toward an opera house, in order that we may get the benefit of the many fine attractions that are daily passing through the city. Nearly every attraction that cornea to Charlotte bringe strangers from neigh boring towns and furnishes additional trade for the merchants and hotels Traveling men often go twenty-five or fifty miles to witness a good perform ance, which alone is a help to the hotel proprietors. Another point in favor of a good play (which can oniy be produced in a first class theatre) is the instruction which it affords. Read any of Shakespeare's plays and then witness a performance of the same play many of the fine quota tions are made clear to us by the gestures and dialogues that could not otherwise be comprehended. This applies to the majority of readers of Sbakeapeare There is the melodrama What better warning is given in any play or ttnry than In Dec man Thompson's "Old Home stead," ad the "Two Siatert? ' b th plays by the same author and both teach- .ra tf mnrftlit. f t n . rt . n A vnmfln Many oiject to the theatre, and say it 1 has a deoioranzing lLllaence. 1 bat de pends entirely noon the management, and the booking of attractions. Char lotte can have a first-class attraction tvery week, and the only -way to secure it, is to get a good opera honse. While the citv hall waa in course of operation many were an si -us to have the ' main hall flitted up for a theatre, in or der that the city miaht itao a bentfi-. ; from the immense outlay of money used ! for constructing this building. I Had it been made with a slanting floor and a stage, t be city could have already realised at least a thousand dollars. But why not convert it into a hall for enttrtainments and theatrical attrac tion? This can be done w thout a great outlay, by cutting a large arch in the rear wall, and let the present wall suf fice for a proscenium, and directly in the rear of this large arch construct a second story over the guard house, and arrange this addition tbat it can be used for a stago and dressing rooms. the bagzage and scenery could ba taken througn a door on Fifth street, , which woula do away with the conf usion in the front of the bailding. The next alteration would be the fl jor, which could be made bowl shape, similar to the floor in the Second Presbyterian church. This would give Charlotte a first class opera bouse, and the cost of the alterations would be more than paid for in one sea son. Now is thw time for the aldermen to consider the matter, and pnt the hall in a shape suitable for renting and give the people the benefit of the many attractions that are daily "passing us by." CHARLOTTE ON HEB MUSCLE. An Amateur Athletic CInb to Be Formed : at an Early Date, These are the days of athletics and athletes. Charlotte, up to date in ev erytbiog else, is to be neck and neck with the foremost in this matter. The Y. M. C. A gymnasium in thist line is doing fine work, but th re ib a class of young men which it does not reach; a class which purport to be a law unto themeelv. 8, and should not like to be under the association restrictions. These are to form themselves into an amateur ath letic club. The matter is in embryo, as yet, but a sufficient number of athletes are banded together to warrant success when the movement shall have bten started. The Court of Common Pleas.

Last night the sound of festivities was heard at Mr. McDonald Wilson's. A big dance, a regular break down, was the order of the nigut, and great sport ther$ was. . Mis WrlitoD to Beaten.

SUITS, ULCERATED BORE THROAT. Twelve years ago I was afflicted with a severe case of ulceration on the ankle, which was healed by external applica tions. Three years afterwards the dis ease returned in the firm of ulcerated sore throat, 1 waa a severe sufferer; the roof of my mouth and tonsils of the throat were covered with a hite mucus, with little cavities in it I was treated by the best physicians in Richmond, but they failed to effect a cure. My general health was wretched. I was suffering greatly from indigestion and general de bility, At twenty years of age I weighed 85 pounds. I commenced using Mrs. Joe Person's Remedy last January, using the Bitters and Waab, and am so far relieved thst the disease causes me no incon venience. M v general health ia now per fect; indigestion perfectly cured. Inow weigh 140 pounds, and am still taking the Remedy, and am confident of a final cure. Mbs. W. M. Perkins, Jr. Aurelian Springs, N. C, Nov. 12, 1885. Mrs. Perkins told me the only thing which prevented her testifying to a per fect cure was, that when ine took any : cold it seemed to settle in her throat, thus proving it was still a weak point. At no other time did it cause her any Incon venience. Mrs. Job Person. SENSEMAN & BRICKENSTEIN, Salem-Winston, N. C PRACTICAL PLUMMEBS. TTNNKB3 AND 8 LATE HOOFERS.
