THE Grand Jury of Kinds county

THE Grand Jury of Kinds county
adjourned yesterday. A large num-
Der of citizens were called before the
august body, and, possibly, several in
dictments were found. We believe,
however, that their work has been
faithfully done.R Under the direction
of the able District Attorney, Maj.
Foote, and the careful investigation of
their competent foreman, DR.. Rufiin
Thompson, the public interest has
been, we doubt not, scrupulously look
ed after, without any tendency to an
unnecessary abridgement of private
rights and liberties.

Inc audience room of the First Baptist
church was fairly filled last evening; had
the weather been pleasant the church would
have been crowded. The refined and cult
waited audience present enjoyed the finest con-
cert of the season. and it was thus emphati-
cally pronounced by good judges of music.
The fine, silvery tenor of Mr.. Will f. Stock
bridge of Portland, was displayed in his
happy selections. Mr.. Stockbridge is a
cousin of Annie Louise Cary, and in this case
at least music runs in the family" Mr..
B. Hall of Richmond, played the cornet with
the professional skill of an Arbuckle, taking
the audience by storm with the silvery rpples
of his instrument that fairly rings under his
magic touch. Mr.. \. ID. Ward. Augustus
accomplished basso. shared in the honors of
the evening, while the grand organ solos b.,
Mr.. f. w. Hanscom of Auburn, met with
hearty applause. Misses Minnie and Flora
Cross, Miss Cochrane and Miss Fogler, Mrs
Ida Fairfield. and orr other local artists,
were received with great favor they always
were. The pieces were rapturously encored,
and the greedy audience demanded response
every time. Much credit is due Rev Mr.
Tiden and A. ID. Ward for furnishing this
elegant concert.
