Mr.. j. M. Haney, who arrived in the

purpose Of inspecting the advantages
of this city as manufacturing point,
left last night for Dallas and other
towns. Since his arrival here he has
been going continually, and has, after
making pretty thorough investigation,
expressed himself as well pleased with
the outlook.
He will be in constant communities
ton with our best citizens, and hopes
to return here within a few days to
consummate the arrangement for the
establishment of his extensive mills
here. Mr.. Haney expressed a most
favorable opinion Of our city to re.
porter before his departure last night,
and also that some action should be
had ON the part of our
citizens ard business men interested
in the advancement OF the interests OF
our city. In reply to the question as
to the number OF hands the proposed
mill would employ, he said, "from leo
to ITO and this Is equivalent to the
turning loose in the community Of in
round numbers $500 per day"

AMI pleasing than the amHge. His
Tune was good and notes well taken.
and his rendition of this difficult piece
was very good, particularly in the
staceato portion and in the dill.
hcult runs in the third part.
and In the grand finale. which was
particularly fine, the audience gave
marked attention. ut Is the Lords
own Day." a very pretty and pleasing
little quartette, was well rendered bv
Messrs. Stewart, Furman, Perkins and
Sharman. During the rendition of
this piece Mr.. Perkins was taken sud.
denly i'll and was unable to finish his
part, but went Immediately home.
The tenor solo, "Cuius Amman
by Rossini as rendered by Mr.. w. II.
Maginnis in his fine, clear style, was
really fine, the. staccato part thereof
being particularly admired.
Mrs. J. b. Poston's selection from
Meyerberr was of most difficult ar
rangement and one only appreciated
by the best critics. In our opinion
had 1t been of a lighter class OF music
II would have been better received, In
part second the "Gloria in Excelsus'
from that grand old master, Mozart's.
Twelfth Mass. was particularly i'm.
pressive as brought out upon the new
organ with full choir and chorus and
produced fine effect.
Oar space forbids our going into
further or more minute detail. Suf-
flee 1t to say the different parts were
very creditably rendered throughout,
evidencing thorough training. We
cannot, however, refrain from notice
Of Mrs. Poston's rendition of Balfi's
Bohemian Girl" which was well
rendered and, If possible, better re-
ceived than any previou3 selection.
Mr.. Il, X. Shoots ''Voluntary" was
OF the same class of music and credit
ably rendered, though the selections
throughout were of too high an order
for the average audience.
