ESTABLISHED SEPTEMBER 19,1878. PITTSBORO GIVES AN OLD TIME MINSTREL PROGRAM To The Largest Audience Ever Seen in New Auditorium. Citizens of Pittsboro and surround ing‘sections were greatly surprised i Friday night when they witness ed an old time negro minstrel show at the new school auditorium. Everybody thought that the performance would be a good one but they had no idea that they would witness what they did ■ j Misses Lossie Stone and Margaret Large deserve much credit for the net-severance and hard work they eave in getting up this show for the -amusement of our people, but they it, and with the help of others, thev did exceedingly well. When the crowded auditorium watched the “show people” as they - ca me on the stage, dressed as many negroes used to dress and do dress even today ,they felt that there was something rich in store for them— and there was. Miss Large and Mr. Luman Over acre acted as middlemen and “Slim” Jim Lawson, with his legs looking like telegragh poles, on one end and Mr. Joe Hammock on the other, with the rest of the troupe, dressed in old cast-off clothing, the young ladies who took part in the cast, especially with their head gear fitted up with all sorts of feathers and hats, white stockings and ragged shoes, made a picture rarely seen in these late days of minstrelry. The program opened with Miss Large giving an amusing talk to one of the young lady actors, and there is no use denying the fact thet she acted the old mamv and looked it to oerfection. Then there was a song by Miss Jennie Connell which great ly pleased the audience by her sweet singing. This was followed by gags, songs, dancing and finally the debate between Mr. J. Dewey Dorsett and “Slim” Jim Lawson, who spoke in the affirmative, Messrs W. R. Thompson and Harrv Norwood, who upheld the negative that “it ain’t no crime for a negro to steal chickens.” This part of the play was really good, although the song, “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot,” sung by the entire troupe, was hard to beat. By the fainting of a young lady in the au dience at this time the decision the debate was not given out, although many people sided with the affirma tive, according to Mr. Dorsett’s. ar gument. The sliow was a good one and every body enjoyed it and those who failed to go missed a real treat. It is hoped that these young la dies of the “the biggest show on the road” will give a repeat performance in the near future. The receipts amounted to S6O. A nice little sum to be used at the school building. OUR NEW AND OLD FRIENDS.
