They have played the principal towns in Western and Central North Carolina this season, making return dates in many in stances, and are this week filling an engagement in Raleigh, and the papers say they have been giving ex cellent performances to large and ap preciative, audiences. Cause for Congratulation. While nothing else was to be ex pected, we all feel better satisfied after the "deed" has been done, and this is to say that there is peculiar gratification on the part of their re spective congregations and friends, and general satisfaction on behalf of the public at large, at the return of Rev. A. G. Dixon and Rev. R. C. Cra ven to their work in Henderson by their conferences. Two good men, doing a good work and greatly be loved, that they are to continue their labors for the advancement of the Master's kingdom among us is cause for congratulation to the community at large. Suffers Injury to Knee Again. Mr. Leslie Perry came home from Chapel Hill Wednesday suffering from an injury to his knee. It had been hurt before and was none too strong but gave him little trouble. While playing tennis the other day he made an awkward movement put ting too much weight on the "game" leg and gave it a twist. Result is he is on crutches again and had to give up his studies and come home just as he was in the midst of his exami nations, a fact which he regrets more than the inconvenience and suffering he experiences in consequence of his injury. Mr. Perry's friends sympa thize with him and hope he wili soon be all right again. Daring Robbery. Some weeks ago a man was held up on the public road near town and robbed of a sum of money the pro ceeds of a load of tobacco he had sold here. That was a bold and high-handed act there were three against one (the highwaymenwere negroes) and the robbery was com mitted in the country. But a more daring and dastardly crime than that was perpetrated right here in town, on the principal street, within a stone's throw of persons passing, and within the glare of the electric lights. Saturday night a young lady who stays in one of the stores in town had her purse snatched from her hand as she was going from work to her home. She was accom panied by another young lady who is employed in the same establish ment and just as they separated at the home of the latter, and when only a very short distance from her own home, the young lady first men tioned was approached by a negro man who grabbed her hand bag and ran with it, escaping in the dark. An alarm wa3 given and search was made but the robber was not appre hended. The purse contained about eight dollars in money and a small gold watch Waltham with the fig ures 7,327.5171,276,957. The watch may be offered for sale and if it is it may be identified by the num ber above given. New Enterprise. , Mr. W. F. Wallett is arranging to open a new amusement enterprise in Henderson, the like of . which the town has not had heretofore. It is an Electric Theatre a permanent moving picture show where continu ous performances will be given. One of the store rooms in the Lassiter building is being fixed up for the purpose and it will be equal to any similar place to be found in the larger cities where such attractions have proven immensely popular. Mr. .Wallett has purchased one of the best machines that is made and has employed an experienced opera tor to handle it. From the time of opening until the close at night the show will be going on all the time. It will take about 20 minutes for each performance and there will be a wait of three minutes, then the show will be on. again, the same thing being repeated. There will be a change of views three times a week. These will be the best that can be procured, varied in character, some thing to please all amusing and en tertaining, humorous and instructive. Admission 5 cents. Mr. Wallett had expected to open J Monday, but at this writing it is not I certain that everything will be in readiness then, but announcement will be made by circular, and from the initial performance on the Elec tric Theatre will no doubt be a pop- m . M ular place ot resort anoraing pleas ant diversion at small cost either in time or money. NOTICE.

Below we publish the program of the band concert and minstrel enter tain men t to be given at the Grand Theatre. Friday night, Decemlter 20th, by the Henderson Concert Bund. This will no doubt be a' cred itable performance and the young gentlemen who are getting it up de serve to have a full house. Some good talent will be represented all our home boys and we know what Henderson can do when she tries. The object for which they are trying to raise money is one that ought to appeal to all our people for the bene fit of the band to pay for their in struments and uniforms and salary of the instructor. It is creditable to these young men that they are giving their time and money toward providing a good brass band for the town. Such an organization is needed in every town and pur people generally ought to feel a lively interest in it and help to support it. They cau do this in a measure by attending the perform ance on the evening of the 20th. Mr. B. S. Aronson is coaching the minstrel part of the entertainment and Mr. C. E. Pope, instructor and leader of the band, has charge of the music end of it. Miss Norma Britt will be accom panist. The program is as follows: PART 1. Overture Dixie The Band. Song t. H. Brown.

Superb Entertamment Grand Concert Grren Under Aus pices of Henderson Knigkts of Pytbias by Richmond Talent Was Greatly Enjoyed by Culti vated and Appreciative Audience. The concert given under the aus pices of Henderson lodge Knights of Pythias on Tuesday evening, Decem ber, 3rd, was one of the finest pro ductions of the kind ever seen -here. It was a high-class performance in every respect, and the very refined and appreciative audience that well nigh filled the Grand Theatre were greatly pleased and delighted. Richmond talent composed the "compan3T" and they are artists, all of them, equal to any professionals and superior to some of the Lyceum course , attractions that have ap peared here.. Those taking part were Mrs. Montrose Graham, soprano; Mrs. E. H. Clowes, alto; Mr. PL H. Clowes, tenor; Mr.-A. W. Martensteiu, bass; Mr. W. Wr. Williams, baritone; Miss Kate Elsemere Puller, reader; Miss Mary Willie Smoot, accom panist. A combination of finertalent is not often heard. The concert opened with a magnifi cent vocal quartette so inspiring that it wps a -suitable beginning for the varied and lovely program which was to follow. We give it below: 1. Quartette 'Tis Morn Geibel 2. Soprano Solo (a) If I Knew Gaynor tb) Because She Kiesed It Mbs. Montrose Graham. 3. Bass Solo The Mighty Deep Jual Mr. W. W. Williams. 4.

Martensteix. 12. Quartette (a) Forget Me Not Baier (b) Good-night Beloved. .Pinsuti Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Clowes, Mrs. Gra ham, Mr. A. W. Martenstein. An enthusiastic reception was ac corded the singers and Miss Puller and their efforts were given the closest attention marked by frequent applause and evident signs of the greatest appreciation. Individually and collectively they charmed and delighted the audience whose appre ciation and enthusiasm at times knew no bounds. Each unmber re ceived an encore and even the third appearance before the footlights did not seem to satisfy the audience some times. In a program so varied presented by artists of such high talent it is no smaU matter to write about the per formance and accord each one the meed of praise he or she so richly de serves. Suffice it to say it was a brilliant success from an artistic as well as a financial standpoint. Each member of the quartette is an artist, two are valued members of Miss Smoot 's Qnartette Choir aud every Sunday the beautiful tones of the soprano and basso are heard in the Second Presbyterian church of Richmond. Mr. and Mrs. Clowes are favorites in Richmond musical circles and Mrs. Clowes has had a most enviable ca reer using her rich contralto in con cert and church service and charity work. Mr. Clowes also has held most prominent positions as a singer and always responds most cheerfully to the calls of sympathy where the sweet tenor blended with the rich alto has always brought tears. Mrs. Graham's voice caused great enthusiasm, the perfect beauty of her tone holding the audience enthralled. She is one of Richmond's youngest sopranos and the sweetness and puri ty of her voice with its wonderful compass will develop to make her a great singer. Miss Puller completely captivated the audience with her fine readings. Her impersonat ions were realistic and she could move her audience from tears to laughter at will. Combined with a charming personality she is one of the best readers we ever heard, Mr. Martenstein, who is consid ered one of the finest baritones in the Richmond choirs, fully sustained his reputation in a finished rendition of the Toreador song from Carmen, and the rich, deep tones of Mr. Wil liams reminded one of Eduard DeReske. Mr. Williams is an artist and has recently come from the North to make his home in Rich mond, where be will follow his chosen profession as concert basso and also choir soloist and teaching. Miss Smoot has always been a fa vorite in Henderson and it was a dis appointment to the audience that she did not play a solo, but the de lightful and pathetic accompani ments showed her to he a thorough master of the instrument.' She touches the keys lightly and caress ingly and again full and powerful, carrying the idea of the composer to the hearts of her hearers. Miss Smooths a gifted and accom- ilished musician. She plays with de ightful interpretation and exquisite tiebnique, and it is a great pleasure to hear her whether as accompanist or soloist. Several in the audience remarked on the unusual gifts of those taking part and Henderson music lovers are to be congratulated upon being privileged to enjoy such a finished and delightful performance.

Exercises were tela m tne. Methodist Frotestant church and a large crowd was present, the Sunday school room being thrown open to 1 . 11 mi - 1 accommouaie an. xne principal feature of the evening was an ad dress by Rev.. J. T. B. Hoover, who spoke first on the causes for which we have to be thankful, individually and collectively as a people and a nation concluding with a reference to the various fraternal and benevo lent orders aud the noble work they have done and ' are doincr. Mr. Hoover quite surpassed himself and received many cordial congratula tions upon his excelleut address. It was apposite and entertaining, edi fying and informing, and was listened to with close attention throughout. All felt themselves indebted to Mr. Hoover for his fine ' address and ameng those who had not heard him liefore he established himsflf as- a forceful and entertaining speaker and well posted "order" man as well as an all round "good fellow" in the lodge room. Rev. R. C. Craven indulged a few timely remarks, and Rev. A.G.Dixon conducted the exercises. Miss Olive Harris and Mrs. O. R. Browne each sang a solo and Mrs. J. II. Bridgers recited Paul Revere s Ride, these numbers concluding the program. Aliss ttthei Harris was organist. From the church the Red Men and a number of invited friends repaired to their lodge room where a sumptu ous supper was partaken of. The room had been appropriately decor ated for the occasion.presenting much tne appearance or a forest. Cedar bushes were arranged against the walls and . throughout the room, standing as if in their natural posi tion, leaving a space in the centre for guests and the table, the floor cov ered thick with moss, leaves and pine straw, making a soft carpet and greatly heightening the wooded effect of the scene. This was the idea and work of Mr. O. R. Browne.upon which he was much complimented. the supper was all that could be de sired, well prepared and well served. Meats, oysters, breads, pickles, coffee, etc., comprised the bill of fare and those who prepared it left nothing undone in the provision, cooking and service. All did ample justice to the tempting repast and the oc casion was greatly enioved. Manv ladies were among the guests present. Mr. Hoover was master of cere monies and brief toasts were pro posed and responded to by Rev. R. C. Craven, Mr. S. R. Harris, Mr. H. Bridgers, Capt. C. J. Smith. Mr. O. R. Browne, Thad R. Manning and others. The Henderson Concert Band fur nished music for the occasion and re ceived many flattering compliments. Public Speaker Interrupted. Public speakers are frequently interrupted by people coughing. This would not happen if Foley's Honey and Tar were taken, as it cures coughs and colds and prevents pneu monia and consumption.
