Two Marriages Creatore and His Band Delight a Large Audience. Corrwoondence of The hobmonian. Red Springs, Oct. 13. Misses Polly McRae and Margaret Buie left Monday morning for Wood leaf to attend the wedding of Miss Mamie Buie. Miss Buie was married to Mr. Irvin Mc Conaughty, of Barium Springs, Wednesday afternoon at the home of her uncle Rev. Dougald Monroe. Miss Buie has many friends here who wish her much happiness.

Brown and Miss Out law spent Thursday in Fayette ville shopping. The concert by Creatore and his band, which was given in the college auditorium Wednesday afternoon, was splendid and was greatly enjoyed by the large au dience, assembled to hear the great musician. Ihe program! was well selected and covered a wide range-in-the TnusicaUsense, opera "William Tell" was ex quisitely rendered, the time per tect and each instrument helped to make the mighty climax at the close. The solo "Dear," composed by Creatore himself, was beautiful in its simplicity and harmony. The encore "Every Little Movement," from "Madame Sherry," was familiar to most of the audience, as it was one of the popular songs of the summer. But the exquisite song "Nearer My God to Thee," was beautiful beyond expression. The very instruments seemed to feel the sacredness and expressed it in the soft tones, ,yet deep and true. Each number was much enjoyed but especial mention should be made of the closing, one, a selection from "Carmen" by Bizet. This wa3 magnificent j in its depth and its wide scope, beginning in soft tones brought j out by only a few instruments; and gradually swelling until the! close was a mighty thunder, storm of music. There were few J vacant seats in the spacious audi-1 torium, as every one who could j possibly do so took advantage of the opportunity to hear this famous band.

It might be invidious to say that: this railroad will connect the two best towns in North Carolina : Undoubtedly, the people of Ral- eigh and Charlotte would say that, but there are other towns' in North Carolina; yet certainly it will connect the State capital, which is forging to the front rapidly, and the city of Charlotte, which has the largest population of any North Carolina city, and more than that, it will go through one of the finest sections of North Carolina, touching the great lumber and mining interests with splendid water powers iht,h will sprvp laro-p rriflrinfftp- turing plants as well as be in strumental in securing the build ing of many more manufactur ing plants when ample railroad facilities are furnished.

"Graustark" was greeted by almost a capacity audience at the opera house Friday night, and it was a highly pleased audience that went away. The play was good and the costumes were the best ever seen in Lum berton. Jenet Waldorf as Ye tlve, princess of "Graustark," Henry King as Grenfall Lorry, and Joseph C. Gonyea as Baron Dangloss were very good indeed. The rest were only so-so, but the principal characters were good enough to make up for any little defects. It is to be re gretted that some people behaved so execrably during this perform ance. Nobody has any license to annoy everybody in the opera house.
