Col. Orafliin's death was very sud

to hours after he was attacked
with paralysis. He had been suffer

went to Lincolnton some weeks ago,
hoping for improvement. These
hopes were realized and he had im

' Open House. --
Mrs. D. P. Bowers, with her; com
pany, arrived here from (ioldsboro
where they playedjast night at 10
o'clock this forenoon. The.eompany
will appear at the Opera House here
to-night in the exciting and exact
ing tragedy of Queen Elizabeth, with
Mrs. Bo ers in the title role. In
speaking of her rendition of this
part, the New York Herald which
is undoubted authority said:
"Mrs. Bowers .took , a . step last
night winch few actresses of the
modern school would dare attempt.
It was from the charming womanli
ness of Mary Stuart of the previous
evening to the virility and harsh im
periousness and the sterner traits of
Queen Elizabeth. The , transition
was a sudden one, but was a most
successful one, showing the star ; to
be the mistress of her art. Her per
sonification of the kingly queen is
one of the f e w artistic performances
of our dav and time." '
