cna,o, nj rho soldiers Home.

Some time ago the Board Of Visitors
of the Soldiers Home issued circular
asking for funds to aid them in erecting
a chapel at the Home. Since then
sums, large and small, have been
slowly coming in, but the amount re-
ceiyed thus far is not sufficient for the
purpose indicated. All liberal-handed
persons are earnestly requested to con-
tribute something, which they can send
to Major Lewis Ginter, care Allen d
Ginter, or to General John r. Cooke,
of this city.
The following is an extract from a
letter received by member of the
committee on the chapel for the Sol.
diers' Home:
CONCORD, N. O., July 2, 1886.
81 hope to do well for the Home !;
have made up over hundred dollars,
and have several liberal fellows to see

comes in | will buy the package and
forward it,"
The committee has made en- appeal
TO all lie tobacco markets Of Virginia
and North Carolina, and hope to hear as
good news from all Of them as from Ok
ford. 1t is proposed by the committee
that when enough packages Of tobacco
are received notice shall be given of the
sale of the same and the net proceeds
from each place.

AReidsyiIle Concert.

REIDsvILLE, N. c., July l, 1886.
"Ye Old Folks Concert" played at
EdiDgton's Opera-House last night by
an amateur club of this place, under the
management Of Mrs. Henry Sampson,
was without doubt the most popular
hit which has ever been put on our
boards. Every seat in the Opera
House was filled, and one seldom looks
upon better-dressed or more intelli-
gent audience. Baltimore, Richmond,
Danyille, Greensboro, and Winston
were of the audience.
The performance commenced by a
prologue delivered by Mr.. Webster, of
WebSter's Weekly, who personated the
character of LAWYER Steinmens, fol-
lowed by an exceedingly well-written
and well-acted play, representing the
assembling of church choir one hun
dred years ago at the private residence
of an aged lady, in middle life, &
widower elder, and two widows, who
were casting sleeps eyes at the elder,
notwithstanding the fact that his wife
had not been dead two months, and
LAWYER Steinmens and his three daugh-
tiers, who were the swell people of the
neighbOrhood.
The costumes were unusually hand
some and appropriate. Queues, knee
buckles, powdered wigs, and gowns
after the similitnde Of those worn by
our great-grandmothers and the lasses
of hundred years ago, we're gotten up
regardless of expense.
"Auld Robin Grey" as rendered by
Miss Lena W. JetIiies, Of your city,
was Faulty faultless," anl her rendl-
ton of it was perfect. Her voice is as
clear as laIk's and as finely modu-
lated as a mockingbird's.
There's No Room For iva" by
Mrs. Robert Scales, of this place, was
inimitable. She has voice Of snrpass-
ing richness and melody. Candidly, |
do not think there is sweeter singer
in the State. She would make sensa-
ton on the stage, even in your critical
city.
A number of other parties who took
part in the performance are worthy OF
special mention, but know the drain
on your columns.
The net proceeds amounted to be-
tween 500 and 500.
The concert will be repeated Friday
nieht the 9th instant, with an almost
new change Of programme.
The proceeds will be spent by the
ladies Of the Baptist church for such
good deeds as they see fit. K.

RANDALL AND MoRRIsoN.-The
first thing Congress ought TO have done

system; the second is the passage of
tariff bill. We have no more right to
nay Randall is not good Democrat
because he is for protection than we
have TO say Morrison is not because he
is not Ia favor of the abolition Of the
internal-rsyenue system. Both are
good Democrats, but they have man

plan TO save our party.-Danr,lts
Times.
Eleven New York Democrats voted
with Mr.. RANpALL-only seven with
Mr.. MORRISON. Are there no more
Democrats in New York State than are
represented by these seven congress
men.
Mr.. RANDALL voted for the oleo-
margarine bill. So did Mr.. OFFER
RAIL-, Of Virginia, one OF the most
pronounced anti Protec,ionis!s in Con-
