The Gift Carnival.
The Raleigh State Chronicle says this
of the Tennyson & Dawson Gift Car
nival and Comedy Company, which is
advertised to play an engagement at
Burwell Hall next Monday evening:
And it is laughing carnival as well.
The Chronicle heartily commends to
people who love laughter, the perform
ance of Tennyson & Dawson's Gift
Carnival, now showing for a week in
Metropolitan Opera House.
Last night good crowd welcomed
the first performance, and from first to
last the audience was either in par
oxysms of laughter, or lost in wonder at
some of the wondrous magic feats
effected by the specialists of the COM
pany. The company consists of the
best and highest paid artists that have
ever travelled with an organization of
this kind, and consequentlyit surpasses
in every way any show of a similar
character that ever went through the
country. One noticeable and very
commendable thing is the absence of
anything coarse. The most fastidious
may witness the show and richly enjoy
the wit and unusually good specialties
without any fear whatever of having
their tastes violated or grated upon by
anything inelegant.
The prizes last night were quite
nice, the leading one being q handsome
tea set drawn by w. A. Cover; cham
Der set drawn by D. P. Parish, and
student lamp drawn by r. T. Howard.
You want the best? Then don't pass
Davis & Roses store.
Do you want a good road cart for
little money? If SO call on John d.
Stallings, at w. w. Reavis', and he
will sell you one so cheap you will
think he has certainly made a mistake
in the price.

Republican County Convention.
The Republican county convention met
in the court house here last Saturday at
2:3O o'clock P NJ, when the following
ticket was nominated: For Sheriff, W.
H. Smith; Treasurer, R. E. Young; Clerk
of the Court, T. l. Harris; Register of
Deeds, VIM. NJ. Hicks; Surveyor, George
Houghtaling; Coroner, J. H. Edwards;
Township Constable, John I. Rowland.
James A. Bullock was nominated for the
House of Representatives.. N. G. Wyche

The following County Executive Com
mittee was elected, one member from
each township:
Henderson-N. G. Wyche, chairman.
Kittrell-Na shaniel Hunt.
Middleburg-E. c. Bullock.
Williamsboro-Armis Hamilton.
Townesville-Isaac Boyd.
Nutbush-Jo shua Henderson.
Sandy Creeh-Thomas Crews.
The following named were elected as
the Executive Committee for Henderson
township-W H. Reavis, J. T. Satter-
white, r. M. Johnson.
Each OF the executive committees is
composed entirely of colored persons,
while but two of the nominees, for the
House of Representatives and township
constable, are colored. AS a rule the ne
gro seems to be satisfied to hold some Of
fee that has nothing but empty honor(?)
attached to it while his white companion
in politics, and the recent recruit from
the Democratic ranks who deserts for Of
flee only, are allowed to step in and APP
prOpriate all the paying places.
Smith and Young are present incum-
bents, have both made good officers, and
their denomination was expected. The
others are new men and are yet to be
tried-if they should be successful of cleo
ton.
James A. Bullock the candidate for the
House of Representatives, is very intel
iigent and respectable colored man who
lives in Nutbush township He was ed
| ucated at Shaw University, Raleigh, and
has been teaching school 13 years.
