people." -"-''

here and some immediate steps in that
direction should be taken at once."
W. H. Gibson, assistant cashier of
the Cabarrus Savings iBank: "a

spirited citizens should, take the lead
in finding-out the plans of the com

BENEFIT OF THE INTERURBAN.
Ite Building Will Mean Much for the
Industrial Advancement of i the
Town.'. '
The' interurban line spells great
things for Concord and Cabarrus. It
will add untold advantages to all. It
will give us greatly needed competi
tion on freight, passenger and ex
press business. It will add big val
ues to real estate, stimulate the build
ing of industrial plants fat onr midst,
bring in many new people, and many
thousands of dollars to our commu
nity,. It is THE opportunity" of an
see to keep UP with tne times.
w . . . "...
The wages paid to its employes will
be no small item to our people. The
taxes -to county auu town uireuu
coming from its treasury will be large
and . the taxes indirectly resultant
from the increase of values of prop
erty all along the line will be much
larger. It will not be many years af

CONCORD'S FIRST
. : , . GRAND
OPERA.
A Noted Attraction to Appear Here
Next Monday Night -'
To those who revel in the highest
attainment of vocal end instrumental
music, as exemplified in Grand Opera
and this includes every individual in
the universe,' from the pulpit to the
prison, a few remarks, will not be
amiss concerning the coming engage
ment of 'the English Grand Opera
Company and Orchestra at the opera
house, next' Monday night, " January
30th. '- : .;
The perf ormancV is an innovation
and notable in many ways. The eyes
of the mnsienl world are now focused
on Pietro Mascagni, tbe composer of
Li'Amigo Fntz, Kusticana and. a new
work, Ysobel, to be produced at the
New Theatre in New York shortly.
C a Valeria Kusticana ( Rustic Chiv
alry) popular the world over, , has
seldom been heard here 'although the
"Intermezzo!' played during the in
terlude is a familiar number to most
of us.' ' . . :J
Offenbach's sparkling little operat
ta; "The Rose of Auvern." is another
brilliant cut musical gem, which scint
illates here for the first time on this
occasion; thus we are to receive
"double bill," a gala night'- as it is
called in operatic circles. -
still anotner. attraction also re
freshingly new, and therefore doubly
acceptable, is the orchestra a ladies'
orchestra, if you please and conduct
ed by the famous Boston leader, Nel
lie Chandler, to whom the late rat
rick Gilmore presenied ,his baton, on
a memorable occasion in Washington
before' an" audience of nearly-fifty
thousand people assembled in the vast
amphitheatre.
. Of the artists but little need be
said of C. Pol Plancoii ,tbe baritone.-
Nikow, the tenor, a compatriot and
alternate with Bonci and Caruso, ap
pears en tour in America this- season
for the first.time. ,
.Uertha lleyman has appeared in
the casts with Tettrazzini and Mary
