MRS. COTTON'S RECITAL.
An Ideal Evening and a Large Audi
ence Greeted Her.
Last night in the Chapel of G. F.
College Mrs. Sallie S. Cotton, of
Falkland , N. C. , read her famous poem,
"The White Doe, or The Fate of Vir
ginia Dare." A large and apprecia
tive audience welcomed her to Greens
boro again. She is well known here,
having delivered the alumnae address
to Greensboro Female college at last
commencement.
Miss Manie Currie, of Max ton, read
a short, though beautiful, sketch of
the myths and traditions connected
with Virginia Dare, the first white
child born on the American continent.
Then Miss Addie Latham, in a few
choice words, introduced -Mrs. Cotton.
The reading of the poem consumed
but an hours time, and that hour was
spent with intense interest on the part
of the audience. The style of delivery
was exceedingly easy and attractive.
The description of the scenery in early
north eastern North Carolina was true
to nature. Her interpretation of the
myths connected with the conversion of
Virginia into a white doe and of the
reconversion was deep, strong, still,
and beautiful; so also was her inter
pretation of the Indian and early white
life on our 'eastern shore. The poem
has a good plot, if this term can be
applied to a poem. The characters
are in the main true to nature at any
rate true to our best myths. In the
portrayals of their deeds of heroism
and love she touches the depths of
pathos, and often she reaches the sub
lime and the beautiful.
This poem is soon to be published in
book form; and then it will take its
place among the very finest literature
of our day. It will preserve in beau
tiful form one of our most beautiful
myths.
A Colored Alan Hurt.
This morning a colored man who
drives for Troxler Bros, was thrown
from his wagon at the junction of South
Elm and Lewis streets and right badly
hurt. He was picked up and soon got
alright but for the bruises about his
head.

Literary Meeting of Epworth League.
The regular monthly literary meet
ing of Centenary Epworth League" was
held last night at the residence of Dr.
E. L. Stamey, on South Elm street.
An interesting program was rendered,
after which games were played and
refreshments served. At 11 o'clock
the guests departed after having spent
an evening of unusual enjoyment.
Postponement.

postponed their regular meeting from
Monday, the 11th, to Tuesday, the 12th.
To this meeting all young girls over
sixteen are most cordially invited. A
pleasing program has been arranged,

A Small Fire.
Last night about 11:15 o'clock the
boiler house at the furniture factory
was found to be on fire and but for the
timely work of some colored men the
entire' factory would soon have been
ablaze. From the tank near by they
secured water with which they kept the
names from spreading until the Eagle
boys arrived upon the scene and made
short work of the fire. The fire is
supposed to have originated from the
boiler. We did not learn the extent
of the damage.
First Church Announcement.
There will be no services of any
kind in the First Presbyterian church
next Sunday morning or at night.
Preaching, Sunday school, Christian
Endeavor, are all suspended that we
may celebrate, with our Methodist
brethren the happy day that marks the
formal opening of their beautiful
new house of worship. '

Failed to lateral! ze.
A call was made yesterday for a
meeting at the courthouse last night
for the purpose of reorganizing the
defunct Guilford Grays, but it seems
the patriotism of the ex-soldier boys
in our midst has not reached the re
organizing point, as there was no re
sponse to the call. In fact, one citi
zen remarked this morning that there
were not enough present to light the
gas not even enough to constitute a
corporal's guard.
