ANNUAL CONCERT.
Last night closed a most inter
esting series of intertainments
given in the new college chapel
of Greensboro Female College.
This was the annual concert under
the direction of Prof. Carlo Moro
assisted by Miss Ethel Blalock.
Every number on tb. program was
well rendered, the young ladles
acquitting themselves very credit
ably. While the concert had se
lections from the very' finest Com
posers, there was melody, system
and sprigfatliness in the selection,
which showed the nationality of
the director.
The wonderful progress made
by Prof. Mora's pupils eloquently
to the ability of the teacher to
bring out and direct the talents of
his pupils. The proceeds, from
the concert, in which was both
vocal and Instrumental selections,
were appropriated by the young
ladies to their pledge of $200,
which they were, to raise toward
paying for the completion of the
chapel, $55-75 being realized, ; j
While the aesthetic side of Col
lege life was brouget out a these
closing exercises, .the best talent
is employed also in other: depart
ments. - The. Bible, department,
which has been added to the
course, will tell for great good in
years to come, . We spend years
on the languages and the, sciences, j
and do no systematic study of the
Bible. ij m'&BU

was while the federal building was
being remodled.

paper, Mr. Douglas declined to re
ply. The reporter couldn't learn

proacbed with regard to the pros
pects of the "Tar Heel."-He said
it bad been the policy of the pro

record-breaking time. Telegram

Dear Sir: In making pastoral
Visits, of course, you do not con
sider your pleasure or comfort or
ease; you go where your people
live. But you have two sets of
feelings in going about can't
help it we all have. But you
especially have; for a part of your
business is sympathy. Well-kept
lawns and well-tilled fields, nice
homes and nice people, are cheer
ful to you, as they are to everyone.
Tumbledown buildings, poor
fences, men harassed by burdens
too heavy for them, overworked
women, ana airty-iacea cmiaren,
you may be strong to get on with;
but you would be more than hu
man to find inspiration in misery.
Paint divides the two sorts of
people: one paints, and the other
don't. Or, perhaps, the thrifty
paint well; the unthrifty paint ill
To paint well is to ken paint
sound. There are two ways to do
it: one is bound to paint often; the
other to use good paint.
It costs about half as much to
print Devoe as to paint with any

MENDENHALL-HARMESON
Perhaps no more beautiful day
could have been chosen for a wed
ding day than Tuesday, June, 6.
1905. The spring seemed to halt
as the weather deepened into sum
mer only a few hours before. The
beat had not Withered a single
blossom far or near. The fresh
ness 01 nature still covered the
plains and the wild flowers held
their beads as bright as ever in
the waim sun light. The green
swards were radiant in their ver
dure and the air of the whole vil
lage was redolent with the rich
perfume of thousands of flowers.
x&eneath the glorious trees stood
the cottage of Mr. and Mrs. A. P.
Spaulding, whose neice.the daugh
ter of the household, was to be
married to John L- Mendenhall of
Williams, a young man of worth
and popularity,; one known to the
citizens of his locality as most
worthy of the prize be was win-
rung, lne nig nest compliment
that can be paid any man is to say
that he is worthy of the regard of
a good and beautiful woman; tbat
he bears a name that she can af
ford to take and wear with honor
to herself and friends. When we
speak of Miss Hattie Amelia Har-
mesoo as a good and beautliul
woman we speak of apparent fact6
and we mean the statement to in
clude all those superior qualities of
heart and mind that the word
beautiful so sweetly describes.
A young lady of merit and worth
she has been a daughter to the
aunt whose namesake she is and
she took rank as one of the fine
business girls of Colusa. Millie,
as she is Known ameng Kindred
and friends, is the embodiment of
all tbat a lovely woman should be
and Colusa will feel the loss that
must be to Williams such a gain
and the old folks at the home of
Spanlding's will miss the radiant
child of their adoption.
At the appointed hour the min
ister arrived and the bride was led
nto the room of pink and green
effects on the arm of her uncle, A.
Spaulding, and among the
flowers there was met by the groom
conventional black, while she
wore a crepe oe cnene gown ot
purest white over silk. In her hand
she held a large, graceful boquet
of white carnations and delicate
green ferns.
The ceremony was most Inter
esting, the prayer beautiful and
touching, and when Rev. W. P.
Baird pronounced them husband
and wife, eyes were moist while
smiles of happiness were on the
faces of friends and relatives.
There were majy presents, both
costly and useful too numerous
to mention. They were valuable
indeed, these gifts of affection. .
The guests at the wedding were
nearly all related to the young
couple. Mrs. Amelia Caswell, the
grand-mother of the bride and her
son, Alonzo, Mr. and Mrs. A. P
Spaulding, Mr. and Mrs, W. C.
Spaulding and little daughter, Mrs.
Fannie Uelle Mendenhall and son
of Williams; Arnold Caswell and
family, J. N. Scoggins and family,
Mr. and Mrs. Robins of San Fran
cisco, A. P. Caswell, Carelton
Harmeson, Rev. W. P. Baird and
wife and Mrs. W. S. Green.
The above is from the Calusa
County (Cal.) News. The groom
has many relatives near High
Point and Is well "known here.

ships along the line July 20. These
are Albemarle, which is asked to

$10,000.
Capt. Henry, who has been with
the surveyors, states that the sur
vey made was entirely satisfactory.

HIGH POINT AT WINSTON.
The baseball contest between
the High Point and Y. M. C. A.
team is on this afternoon at Fair
view park. The visitors came in
this morning, driving through the
country in a hack.
"They are grown men and I
don't know what we are going to
do with them," remarked the
manager of the Y. M. C. A. team
today. "We will play them just
the same," he continued, "and I
feel tbat we will at least make a
good showing."
' 'It is not generally known that
the assoication's pitcher, Mr.
George Crutchfield, is deaf and
dumb. He is a fine twirler, how
ever, and thoroughly understands
the rules af the national game.
"Bud knows all the signs and
maneuvres in the game and no one
keeps up with it better than our
pitcher," said a member of the
team this afternoon.
Strayhorn and Crouch form the
battery for High Point, while
Crutchfield and Martin hold the
same positions for the locals.
