Concert The concerto be, given at thei (jourt iiouse next mesaay mgnt as highly recommended and we are sure will he fully appreciated by our people. Below yon will . fiod clip pings from 'be press concerning the eiifertainment. The Salisbury Sun Says . 'The entertainment at the Opera House last night by Miss Eugenia Livingston Tucker, the dramatic en tertainer and dialectician, and Miss Josie F. Kinsinger, the harp soloist; was one of the most pleasing affairs presented here this season. Both of these ladies have delighted numerous audiences, and the enthusiasm of those who attended last night was testimony of the favor with which the entertainment is usually received. The methods of Miss Tucker in her dialectic work are natural and con sequently extremely impressive. Miss Kinsinger draws the sweetest melouy from her harp and wins im mediate favor." , . Reidsville Review says "The repeated encores to which the young ladies were compelled to respond gave but a vague idea of the satisfactory manner in which, they were entertaining the audience. Miss Tucker's impersonations of chaiac ters of ante bellunrdavs were grand, and the performan ce of Miss Kin- rT . . .. J. m . .1 1 1 . . . "' I singer on the Italian harp charmed the music lowers of the audience." The Charlotte Observer had the following to sav about the entertain ment recentlv given by Miss Tucker in that citv: - . . ' ' "Miss Eugenia Livingston Tuck er, the dramatic . entertainer, ad Miss Jcsie Kinsinger, . he harp so loist, appeared at the Y. M. ; 0. A, last night before a' large . audience. The entertainment was given under the auspices of , the Mecklenburg Gump of Confederate Veterans and reflected 1 credit upon that body. As an impersonator, or in mere recita tions, Miss Tucker is very clever She is a Southern woman and all her characterizations of Southern peo ple or others were realistic and interesting. Miss Kensinger scored a distinct success with her harp, all her selections being ' well rendered and pleasing." On last Friday morning three of Mr. L. W. Thomas' horses were taken sick and one of them died. He thought it was more than prob able that they had been poisoned but we hope this is not correct, for we should regret t think that- we had any one living in ur midst who would be so mean as this. On Monday morning another One of the sick ones died. Then on yesterday morning a horse belonging to Mr. .R. B Long was taken sick and diecL On Monday evening the Junior Editor's cow was , taken sick and died early this morning. . We are of the opinion that there must be some kind of a disease which is affecting the stock here, as they all seem to be affected in very much the same manner. When we want to do our very best and make the best show pos sible then it is that we are liable to do the worst, at least that is what the young gentleman who drove up to the school house after the school Marm thought. He hitched J his horse, and it was a nice turnout, too, and walked -in for the lady, doubtless thinking what an" impres sion he was going to make on the children and especially the young lady. He helped the lady in the buggy, jumped in, picked up the lines and started off but he didn't go, for the horse was still tied to that post. If fortune does not knock at his door but once he's a-goner, for he lost that opportunity- " - " Just Half Price. ..

' . .About one of the best that we have heard is told on one of the Superintendent's of the Roxboro Sunday Schools. On Sunday be fore last the weather was some what inclement and inconsequence the attendants were slow in" com ing in, so the Supt. notified fhe school that in future it would open at 9:36, the hour appointed, even if there were no; one present but him self and one other. Well, last Sun day morning the weather was any thing but promising, the wind howled like March and the rain come down in torrents, but imag ine that Suptertindents x feeling when he heard the bell begin to ring while he was yet in bed.
