office ready to be occupied in that
time at any rata. . Tha contractors
are allowed fifteen months from the
latter part of January, but Mr. Dick
inson says his company has never re
quired the full tima to complete a

they are well supplied with compe
tent labor and never have trouble in
securing materials because of the big
scale on which tha company operates,
obviates any delay one the work is

The Maurer fli.sUrs entertainment
at the Grand Wednesday night de
served an overflow house. No attrac
tion that has been witnessed in Kin
ston has given any more satisfaction
to the audience than did tb program
of aong, reading and versatile instru
mental music rendered, by the four
young women. . Their performances
more than came up to their splendid
reputation, which had preceded them.
For some reason the people of Kin
ston failed to appreciate the oppor
tunity and a compartively small au
dience greeted tha players. Be , it
said to. the discredit of the amuse
ment loving folk her that it does not
appear that good clean, wholesome
entertainmenta are , really wanted.
They certainly are not nearly so well
patronized ar the- semi-nude vaud
Ville actresses. Last wek a commit
tee of public-spirited citizens, who
stood sponsor for the three : days'
Chautauqua attractions, was called
upon to make up a deficit and the on
ly Interest this committee had in
curing the chautauqua was to bring
to Kinston wholesome amusement to
displace the cheap clap-trap.
