THE ORPHANS' CONCERT
A Splendid Program Was Rendered j
on Last Friday JNierht at the Kox
boro Baptist Church to a Largej Au
dience Nice Sum Realized. 1
The chapter of orphans from! the
Oxford Orphan Asylum gave a con
cert on last Friday nightj at L the
Roxboro Baptist church, to a large
audience, in fact the crowd ws the
largest they have ever had here-
The program rendered afforded
an excellent evening's entertain
ment. The children have been splen
didly trained and their sweet young
voices rang out strong and clear
There were songs to please every
one and these were interspersed
throughout with splendi recita
tions. t !.;
Just before the rendition of the
last number on the program. Frof.
J.Henry Highsmith, who had
charge of the class, made !a few re
marks on the work of the j Orphan
age. This institution is caring for
at present 250 children. The amount
realized by the concerts is applied
towards their care. . j j
About $70 was realized: by their 1
concert h re. Whenever the orphans
see fit to come this way again, they
will always receive the liberal sup
po:t and encouragement of our pec
pie. The concert tours of 1 the r or
phan children each year are signal
successes, as they deserve to ' be
for the entertainments are , of a;high
order bright and humorous, : tand

CZAR CREATE SECOND ARMY.
Steps Taken to Re Organize and; Re
Enforce the Russian Forces in tne
" Far East Witn the Object :of Viadf
-eating the Prestige of the Empire
With the purpose of forcing the
war with Japan to a speedy ' termi
nation, the Kmperor of Russia has
taken steps to re organize ! and 1 re
enforce the fighting force in 1 tne
far East. A second army is to be
created, under command j of Gen.
ral Grippenbergj a veteran of
many wars, and it is expected! that
within a comparatively short 'time
there will be armies aggregating six
hundred thousand to seven hundred
thousand men ready to take the ag.
gressive against the Japanese jit is
believed that Grand Duke Nicho
las Michaeiovitch will -be made
commander -in-chief of the Russian
armies in the fat-East, with a fsoU
dier of more varied experience as
his chief of ataff. j - 1 L
At Mukden, it is believe that the"
Japanese will not make a : frontal
attack upon that city, but wfllfseek
to engage the Russians north :or
northeast of there, a purpose f!dic?
tated by strategic reasons' as'weU
by a desire not to offend thcTChi
nese by making the sacred tomb's of
the Emperors the. scene; of ; bloodr
shed. Severe filiating at Port JAr
thur is reported to have taken place
September 19-21, and ieverat im
