stances, below cost. As we do not in

A World-Beater Singer who
Equally Seats are Word's
Record.
Miss Ellen Beach Yaw, who appears
at the academy on Feb. 6th, is accoun
ted the most remarkable soprano in
the world possibly her range has
never been paralleled. Her compass
of voice extends from G. below to E.
in alt., nearly four octaves. Her
tones are produced without labored
effort, and her beautiful method and
the sympathetic quality of her voice
have provoked as much comment as
her starting range. The most won
derful thing about it is that a singei
who can reach such a height should
also be able to sing in her lower reg
ister with the breadth and sonority of
a contralto. Tickets may now be pro
cared at W. H. King & Co.'s
Free Again.
This morning a prisoner, a woman,
was released from the penitentiary
where she had been confined for 12
long months. The charge against
her was concealing stolen property
Her mine is Anna Bell Maness and
she is, as she looks, like a simple min
ded country woman. As Bhe got on
the car that was to take her home to
Moore county her face was wreathed
in smiles. "They 'cused me of con
eealin' stolen tobaccy," she said, "bat
if there is a God in heaven. I didn't
do it. I've worked out my time,
though an' I'm goin' home. I ain't
got no hard feelings agin anybody."
The way she said this made me thiuk
she spoke the truth. The sentence was
a hard one but Anna Bell 'Maness has
gone home.
A Henry Blount Lecture.
That is what it was advertised for,
and that is what it was. A large au
dience took advantage of the occasion
and visited Peace Institute to hear
that gentleman's noted lecture, "Be
yond the Alps Lies Italy." Mr.
Blount "laid himself out" and de
lighted his audience. His language,
bright, flowery and eloquent, as it al
ways is, greatly pleased those who
heard him.
After the conclusion of the lecture
a reception was given to the visitors
by the young ladies and was one of
the evening's many enjoyable fea
tures. I don't sell cheap groceries but good
groceries for a small profit.
