The Herald received this morn ing a letter which explains itself fully and needs no comment. The letter is published below and is sufficient warning to the people: Cbeighton", Pa. Feb. 18, 1893. Gentlemen: A mkn by the name of Albert MfiyerheXtn, repre senting himself as an agent for the Pittsburg Plate Glass Co: and up on sacn representation getting credit and money from the public in'gerieral, is circulating in country. We have had several let ters from different parties, stating that they had been swindled by him, and beg to say that we know - nothing of the man in question. never did; that wo never employed any salesman 'in any capacity what- and th man in nnfistinn is a "fraud." If vou wish to write this up as a news item you are at i.-u- ty to doTso; it should be done for the public good. We are not re sponsiblo for any debts he may con tract on his representation of his being connected with our firm. Might state further that- he has been beard from in Lynchburg, Danville and Norfolk; Va., and Greensboro, Salisbury, i Charlotte and Raleigh, N. C. Yours truly, Pittsburgh Plate Glass Co. The First. Who Will be 3Text. 1. The first man to secure a club of five new subscribers to the Wfekly HERAiiD under the) offer made two weeks ago was Mr. D. A. Deal, of Mitford, who yesterday sent in the five names accompanied by the cash, Mr. Deal not only has the thanks of the Herald for this kindness but he gets his own paper until the 3rd, of j February, 1894, without the expen diture of a cent. Two or three others are working along this line and will doubtless secure the clubs. Who will be the next subscriber to send in five others and get his paper one year free? Yesterday was a pretty busy one in the Heraij office. Besides doing the regular office work and getting out the paper receipts were written for .an even dozen new subscribers and for several subscribers who re newed. Of the new names added 9 were for the Weekly and 3 for the V Daily Herald. YY.-Y t ' :' ' The Cape Fear river is overflowing its banks. It is the biggest freshet sines 1830, say some.

Owing to temporary illness she was, much to the regret of her many friends, un able to render her 'selection, which would doubtless have proved an at tractiye feature of he occasion. ' The ODeninsr pitce was an orsran voluntary "GrarjSbffertoire de Con- bringing out the fine harmonies of the great organ with smoothness and skill. .

While some Other, selection might have brought out to better ad vantage, the wid ra'nge of hia ex cellent baritone voice, he did himself much credit. The quartette by Mrs. Murdoch, Miss Knox, Mrs. Hanger and Mrs. Jones, "Abidl With Me" was sung without organ accompani ment, and was well j rendered. Their time was perfect and the - blending;'of theit voices excellent.

Organ voluntary by Miss Warner met public expectation most fully. Our people have' long recognized in Miss Warner an organist of un usual ability. Her skill in hand ling ths organ brought out its pow ers admirably. As the fine har monies from the upper manual were succeeded by grander and more striking combinations from the lower; and full swelling chtrds, nuing the large auuitonum com pletely, were succeeded in turn by dying cadence, coming in upon the ear lik the faint sound of rippling waters in the distance: a self-com pelled hash yielded full sway to the soul-stirring music, and the vast audience showed a state of complete captivation. Truly has it been said that the pipe organ is a whole orchestra in itself. Mr. liaker followed with a grand solo, "New Jerusalem." His fine "basso prof undo, accompanied by ""- tit ; . - : juiss v arner on me organ, was shown to excellent advantage. His voice, one of unusual depth and power, and always under excellent control, is fully appreciated by all our people. , mt . . i j.ne gem oi me evening wa3 "Incarnatus," most beautifullv rendered by Misses White and Bringle, Dr. Ramsay and Mr. Baker. This fine selection, a fav orite generally, was handled with consummate skiii last evening. During its rendition the : audience appeared spell-bound. Reverence for the Lord's house, alone, re- strained the applause which fairly tingled at tho finders ends of the ucngutcu auuibuis. Ths concluding piece embraced selections from "Gaul's Holy City" Miss Hattie led in a contralto solo and members of the Chrral Union carried the chorus. Miss Hattie's well trainedr voice found scope for successful utterance in this, one of the very finest selections in the "Holy City," and full round chorus welled up in thunder tones in the climax. ' The whole programme wasone of unbroken smoothness, the pastor opening and closing the exercises with religious services, and the congregation twice joining with the choir in singing a familiar hymn. Our Presbyterian friends are to be gratefully remembered for the pleasure given a music-loving pub lic, and are to be congratulated on the successful issue of their grand concert in which all did their part so well. Too much credit cannot be given to Miss Ella Brown for her skill in the work of organiza- tion, and her thorough utilization of the musical talent which so lib erally abounds in our community. Richard Croker and the X.ittle Nig. A. private party in a private car went up the Western North Carolina railroad Saturday morning towards Asheville.
