Directors of the Craig Valley Company met
here to-day and transacted business OfNery
great importance TO this place. The great
sale of lots 10 take place here on the 18th
ef this month will be largely attended, and
the Board of Directors, realizing the disas-
trous effect produced at other places by the
enormous prices at which the lots have
been sold determined to resort. to some plan
by which the prices for lots here on the day
of the sale should be kept within reasOna-
bic bounds. As an indication of what may
be expected on the day Of the sale, il such
an action be not taken, a proposition was
made to the company several days ago tor a
block of thdrty-twO lots at 81 900 each. The
plan, which it is said the Board will adopt, Is
this. that not over three hundred lots will
be offered for sale, and Il reasonable price
will be fixed by the company upon these
lots, beyond which they will not be allowed
TO 90. This plan, if carried out, Will result
in great Senefit 10 the purchasers OF lots, as
it Will give them an opportunity Of selling
their lots after the sale at good advance.
Ii was also determined that from the pro-
ceeds of the sale OF the 18th, $4,000 should
be set apart to discharge all the indebted
ness of the company, and that of the residue
Of the purchase-mOney One-half would be set
apart and be devoted 10 the establish
ment of industries at Bessemer. The
Executive Committee was directed to take
bids upon the cOmpany's brick block and TO
let the erection of the same to the lowest re-
sponslble bidder. One of the distinctive
features of Bessemer will be that she will
have the most substantial class Of buildings

CAPTAIN CARRIERS READING.
A Delightful Entertainment at the y.
NJ. &. A. Hall.

The hall Of the Young Mems Christian
Association was the scene last night OF
most enjoyable entertainment. The pro-
gramme consisted of readings and recita-
tions of his own productions by Captain
William Page Carter, Of Clarke county, Va.
Captain Carter is an uncle OF Mr.. Thomas
n. Carter and a cousin Of Dr. Thomas Mel
son Page.
At $50 O'Clock Captain Carter, DIR. Page.
Mr. Brock, Mr.. Edward Valentine, and Mr..
w. w. Henry appeared on the stage. There
was fashionable audience in the hall.
The entertainment was for the benefit 'of
the Association for the Preservation OF Nlr-
ginia Antiquities, and that name, with the
character Of the exercises, readily shows OF
what material the audience was COM
posed.
HISTORICAL CITY.
Before presenting the orator DR.. Page
spoke for several minutes, taking for his
text Richmond as the most historical city
i'm the Union, and he reviewed in brief
way the main points OF interest IN her MS
tory.
lie then called to mind day OF more
than a quarter of a century back, when
Richmond stood between two great armies,
holding her breath as II were, and waiting
for the coming conflict. He told
how on that day Confederate
ambulance-an old furniture wagOn-c0n-
veyed young captain Of artillery, wounded
nil h unto death, up one Of the principal
streets of Richmond 10 a h0spitable man
sion, where, though "A stranger, he was taken
in and nOurished back TO health by minis
tering ancels-Virginia's fair women.
THE CAPTAIN INTRODUCED.
This Young captain,v said DIR. Page
although now older in years, is my honored,
beloved. whom now have the honor to pre-
sent"
Captain Carter's selections were all good
but those which he rendered in the negro
dialect. of which he is complete master
received the most applause.
The character OF the young negro II
well portrayed in his "Ole Marster 'iC
de War" The following are some Of The
lines:
"Ole marster coming thu the bars.
| Don't you hear dat horse snortln'?
Shuv dem maIvels in Yer pocket;
shut up, and hishe dat tOrking;
Drap dat hoe agin dem taters."
"Dat waller mulev is one of his dialect Sc
| lections i'm which he shows up the planta
ton negro in a most humorous manner. Int
| first verse is:
''what I gwine to do wild dis here yale
! mule?
| Pears like to me she fusn' for 10 work,
| It's nuf 10 stract er Baptist, she er fule."
His selection Of Br'er AmOss Speckles
brought down the house. All OF the piece
are not humorous, buthome, on the contrary
were exceedingly pathetic.
| He held his audience for more than al
hour and half and after he had finished
many came forward and shook hid hand.
