Henry’s »ig City Minstrels,
fifty all white performers having
a spare date enroutc from Ashe
ville to Colombia has decided to
favor Gastonia with this date.
Friday, Dec. 19. The Lynch
burg News says:
Those who were present saw
a good show, one of the best
minstrel entertainments that has
visited Lynchburg. The stage
settings in the opening scene
were very pretty and tastefnUy
arranged. The singing was
well up to the standard, the
features being the songs of
Messrs. J. P. Moore and George
S. Van, the latter singing a
deep baritone selection, "A
Thousand Leagues Beneath the
Sea." Mr. Vai was tha interlo
cutor, and his work eras of the
very beat. He£is a sum of fine
stage presence and his introduc
tions were graceful as well as
business-like. The second part
opeued with a cornet aolo, by
Mr. Hi Henry, which showed
him to be the master of that in
strument. Mr. J. A. Probat, the
human song-bird, gave several
imitations and brought down
the house, and the two expo
nents of physical culture, Senor
Pran cells, gave
splendid feats | n physical
strength. The show on the
whole was a good one, and was
highly appreciated by those
present.

I see In the last issue of Thu
Gazrttb some mention of a
bond issue for the purpose of
building macadam roads in
Gaston county. The logic is
good, and it is only a question
of time when Gaston will have
macadamized roads. Our child
dren and grand children will
have them to pay for any way;
then why not make the atari by
bonding the county, so we,
who are growing old may reap
some benefit from good reads.
By the time the bonds become
due 'our estates will be iq*tbc
hands of our off-spring, and
the valuation of some will then
be triple what it is now.
