FcFSOudls
Under the head of g Notable people
in town. we find the following per-
sonal mention of an esteemed friend Of
ours in the Philadelphia Press of the
Goth inst. It says:
DR.. B. NJ. Walker, of Virginia, is in the
city recapitulating his medical course.
He is a graduate of the University OF
PENNSYLVANIA and feels proud OF the
progress the medical college has made.
He is emphatic in expressing apprecla-
ton of the hospitality of this city's med
ical institutions toward practitioners
and students who come from the rest of
the world, attracted by the city's reputa-
ton as the foremost centre OF medical
instruction. He says that the courtesies
he has received from the University, the
Jefferson and the Medico- Chirurgical Col
leges could not be surpassed, and he is
loud in praise of the Polytechnic. He says
that the personal attentions received
| from the profession are a convincing IL
| lustration of Philadelphia's hospitality,
and his visit has been socially and sclen-
tifically most profitable and pleasant.
DR.. Walker is native OF North Car
| DINA, and although a young man was
distinguished surgeon in the Conted-
crate army. He has been successfully
engaged in the practice of his profes-
sion in Danville, Va, since removing
from this State, and the welfare ano
prosperity of no one affords this writer
more qualification.

Prof. Gentry and His Performing

The performance of Prof. Gentry's

best thing yet seen in Henderson. The
audience was large one, many Of the
little folks being present and the enter

The CANNES displayed remarkable sa-
gacity and performed many wonderful
feats. They were under perfect con-
troll and understood and obeyed every
word of command with as much intel
ligence and precision as human beings
almost. The turning of a complete
backward summersault by a dog was
something new, while the walking of a
tight rope was another difficult feat.
Mr.. and Mrs. Schneider, dressed up as
man and woman, the poodle that play
ed the part Of the baby, the hiding Of
the dog that stole the meat, the lazy
dog, the little terrier walking on his
front feet, the leaping and, the dog pyr

Kind Words for Henderson.

The correspondent Of the News- o.
serrer, writing of the Baptist Conven-
ton, took occasion to pay the follow
ing handsome compliment to our town
and people:
Henderson is one OF the handsomest
and livest towns in North Carolina. 1t
has q population bordering upon 1000
souls, wide smooth streets, fine business
blocks and handsome residences. There
is the stir and hustle upon its streets
characteristic of the new and booming
town, yet accompanied by tone OF dig,
nifty and conservatism CHARACTERISTIC OF
the older and more historic towns OF the
State. It's hospitality will hereafter be
come proverbial, as well as it's attention
to religious matters, for already this
summer it has entertained the convention
of the Episcopal church of the State
| held great meeting of two weeks led b!
Evangelist Pearson and now the great
Baptist State Convention is delightlng II
it's hospitality, religious interest, beautl
full homes and cultured people.
The courtesy, attention and attend
ance of the people of other denomina
lions of Henderson is unusual, and i
fully appreciated by the convention.

A Splendid Performance.

The appearance of Mr.. Alden Ben
edict's excellent company at Burwell
Hall Tuesday evening was not greeted
by as large an audience as the perform
ance deserved. The spectacular drama,
ssFabio Romani,'' was produced with
fine effect. each character being well
taken. Mr.. Benedict's conception of
the title role is true and realistic, and
his acting strong and powerful. His
work Tuesday evening stamps him as
finished artist in his line. Mr.. Ben
edict was several times called before
the curtain. Miss Frances Field, the
female star, is one of the finest emo
tional actresses who have appeared
upon our boards. She gave careful
and thorough presentation of the char
acter essayed, displaying histrionic
talent of high order. Mr.. John K.
Vernon is fine actor and while his
part as the rag picker, and his makeup
for that character, did not enlist the
sympathy or win the admiration of the
audience, his splendid acting did. Mr..
VIM. J. Butler and Mr.. Thomas Fitz-
gerald both played their parts well and
are deserving of special mention.
