A WELCOME GUEST.
The Town
Hilled For Al.
Great Mlns:rcl9.
Field's
Mr. J. L. Weed, the advance
agent of the great AU G. Field
minstrel, was here today and the
town has been decorated with at
tractive paper. '
Al. G. Field and his big minstrels
will be the opening attraction
this season, holding the boards the
27th. For years the Al. G. Field
minstrels has been recognized as
the leading lights in their line.
This season it looks as if this pop
ular manager was to outdo himself.
A glance at his company and the
names on his banner certainly
proves his claim that the Al. G.
Field big minstrels is the largest
company in the world.
The names of more than seventy
people are on the roster, prominent
among which the Cornalla family of
ladies and gentlemen acrobats arc
found. Their performance is en
tirely different from all others, and
the salary they receive is equivalent
to that paid to many entire com
panies. The De-Veilliers, French
pantomimists, grotesque dancers,
etc., are another European importa
tion who make their first American
appearance with this show. O. Judd
Manola and Lafelct Miller, acrobatic
comiques, Ullie Young, wuo maue
such a tremendous hit with this
com par y last season, presenting a
still stiouger act of ambidexterity.
Mr. Young is the only one of the
last year's company who has been
retained. His tremendous success
all along the lino induced Manager
Field to re-engage him for this sea
son. Dan Quinlan still graces the
interlocutor's chair and has gone a
step higher, as his name appears on
the bills as assistant manager.
Billy Van, Al. G. Field, Doc. Quig-
ley, Phil Hecker, CommodV & Hy
land, Scanlon & Hyde, Eddie Fox
with his violin and orchestra,
Charley Nims and his military band
and the Madrigal boys, go to mike
up the big bill.
A Dream ilecaino a Ucallty.
Strange things happen sometimes,
said an old theatre-goer. After a
good dinner I had taken an easy
chair and was soon sound asleep. I
don't often dream, but this timeI
thought I was in a beautiful theatre,
curtain went up and 1 saw before
me the most beautiful creatures it
had ever been my lot to gaze; then
came many wonderful changes of
magnificent scenery. In an instant
that sceno had changed and I beheld
many loving maidens in, most be
witching ballets, just then a glori
ous transformation took place and
the ourtain seemed to slowly de
scend from above.
I was suddenly jostled by a gentle
man who was trying to make room
to set down at the window and
awoke to find myself holding a news
paper opened at the paye with Chas.
H. Vale's advertisement of his For
ever Devil's Auction. To make my
dream a realizition I visited the
beautiful Auditorium the next night
and beheld one of the most beauti
ful spectacular production I had
ever seen.
A Joko on the Turkey, as Well.
The Goldsbiro Argus says: "One
day last week Walter Leo while
cleaning his bicycle, laid the balls
carefully aside and resumed his
cleaning, hearing something con
tinually tapping away just behind
h'nn, he looked around just in time
to see his mother's large turkey gob
bler swallowing the last of thorn.
We won't print what Walter said,
for his bicycle was a new one, and
he has only had it but a few days.
He meditated some time before going
down the street and, placing Lis or
der for 'more balls, for he wa-i on a
quandary whether to kill the gob
bler and grind him up and sift him
for the balls or not. Walter is wait
ing for his bioyole balls, and vows
he will never again attempt to clean
ing his wheel when a turkey is In

REV. LOMAX WANTED.
A Colored Divine of this State Leaves a
Mad Congregation in Norfolk.
The authorities in Norfolk, Va. ,
are looking for the Rev. George
Lomax, formerly of Durham. The
Rev. Lomax ;s wanted and he is
wanted bad.
About a year ago the Rev. Lomax
took charge of two Baptist church
ers Lambert's Point, Norfolk Co.,
and Ebenezer church, PrincessAnne
county. Lately the membership of
the latter church decided upon ex
tensive improvements, and a com
mittee negotiated through a Norfolk
attorney a loan of $900. After the
interest andexpenses were deducted
there was $729 left This was placed
in the hands of the pastor, Rev.
Lomax, preliminary to the improve
ments. Last Monday night Rev.
John Boone, a visiting colored
preacher from Philadelphia, went
out to Ebenezer and preached for
Lomax, the latter bringing him to
town again after the service, Boone
saying that Lomax had the money at
that time, but nothing has been seen
of the latter since, nor has the money
been heard from. A horse and
buggy which Lomax had arranged
to buy from a party in Princess
Anne, and which he used in coming
to the city Monday night, has been
found hero and turned over to the
owner. A committee from the
church reported the matter to the
Police department. The member
ship of the church are very much
excited over tbeoccurrence.
A Card
As an inmate of Rex Hospital for
three weeks, I desire to express in
this public way my heart-felt ap
preciatuiu of the care I was there
given, I am sure that in no home
and among one's own kith and kin
could there be kinder or more sym
pathetic treatment and assiduous
nursing and attention. I was a suf
ferer Irom typhoid fever, a disease
which requires as-iduous care and
my iiivcovcry in 21 days shows it
was given withoutstint. Theentirc
management of the hospital is ad
mirable and is in most worthy bands.
The corps of physicians, zealous and
able, finds the best of auxiliaries in
the well-trained nurses, who like
ministering angels have but one
wish, to cheer and relieve sickness
and suffering. I fear the Raleigh
people do not appreciate a'; its full
value this hospital a credit to their
city and state, but it is certain that
its shelters and its care will always
be gratefully rcmeir,hered by
T. G. Boswull.
