A Collection OF Southern War
Songs.

We have received with the compli-
ments of the publisher, NJ. T. Richard
son, "a and Sc Reade street, New York
city, a large, elegantly bound and
beautifully illustrated volume, be-
ing collection of Southern War Songs
campfire, patriotic and sentimental,
which deserves to have wide circula-
! ton. The compilation is the work Of
w. L. Pagan. of Alabama, and it has
been done in a thorough, careful and
painstaking manner.
A striking feature of the book is the
group of Confederate fioags, which is
thought to be historically correct, al
though there is much conflict ofopinion
as the deterrent hoags which was used
by the Confederacy. This is without
doubt the finest collection of Southern
war songs ever published-in fact the
only collection at all approcahing COM
pleteness-and both Mr.. Pagan and the
publisher deserve thanks for placing
this excellent work before the public.
Aside from the interest and value that
naturally attaches to it because of its
peculiar ehaiae.er, the work seems likely
to become popular for gift purposes.
either Tor holiday or birthday presents.
The retail price in fine cloth binding,
gilt top, is $3.50. It is volume that
would adorn any library or collection
of books, and should meet with warm
reception from many survivors of the
days that tried mems souls" ''Ner
will its interest be limited to the veter-
ans who wore the grey, for we doubt
not many Of their gallant foemen will
be glad to secure and treasure a copy
containing the words of songs that float
ed over 20 their lines on calm nights
from the bivouac fires of the nearby
foe

!: A Fine Minstrel Company.

One of the finest Minstrel compa-
r es that has ever visited Henderson
was Manager Hi. Henry's, which APP
peared here for the first time last
Thursday evening. From the various
complimentary press notices preceding
chem our people expected much in the
way OF. a refined and first-class per-
formance, nor were they disappointed.
The company as whole was one Of
the strongest and best that has visited
our town. They played to lull house,
being greeted by one Of the largest au-
diences we;haye ever. seen in Burwell
Hail. First floor and gallery were
crowded, about every available seat
being taken, and from the rise of the
curtain until the drop of the same on
the final act, the audience was kept in
a roar Of laughter or in state of won
der and amazement at the graceful
and artistic, performances of. the sew
eral stars When all were so good we
should not particularize but we must
say that the singing of the. Haydn
Quartette, Sergeant Cummings in his ia
NOUS musket drill, and popular ecceu-
tricit ties as an equilibriest, Will G. Mack
the aged sdarkry, Eilley- Benson, in his
burlesque female representations, the
4copicalities of Jas. &C. Delaney, the
cofnet solo Of Mr.: HI. Henry, and
the great transformation vampire clog, 1
(som ething entirely new were deserv-
ing OF special MENTION =
The costumes were rich and gorgeous
and together with the stage setting
belonging with the company presented
scene the like of which has not been
seen on this stage before. The music
was excellent, as made by both the
brass band and orchestra. The special
private car in which the company trav-
elsf{s a. veritable palace on wheels.
There is,every convenience and COM
fort that one could ask for, it being
built according to plans of Mr.. Henry
himself about three years ago, at an
outlay of $4,000. The car was visited
by many of our citizens during the day
while it:was side-tracked here.

One Way to Judge a Town.

A town is judged by its newspaper.
This is a remark so commonly made
that it fails to excite comment. And
yet it is true. That is why people al
ways write for sample copy of the
local paper when they want to know
anything about town or community.
By the paper they support one gets an
idea of the place and people why're it
is printed. And that opinion is either
a good one or poor one, just as
the paper impresses them. AS the
Gorham Mountaineer aptly remarks:
A glance at live newspaper will
show a list of men who help build up
the town. If you see good sized live
advertisement in the paper by each of
the principal merchants, and card
from each of the smaller ones and the
professional men, you need not inquire
as to the prosperity Of the town-it is
solid. But if you find the largest mer-
chants not advertising their business,
then you conclude that those who do
try to push their business and the town
with its interests, have hard time
and an uphill journey. Chalk this
down. 49,

Poor Economy.

The business man who never adver-
tises saves a great many expenses.
He saves clerks salaries and needs but
a small stock to supply his customers.
This makes insurance and taxes a
small expense. Only small capital
is required, and small building is
sufficient for the proprietor and then
the money saved by not advertising
will come handy bearing funeral ex-

Help the Orphans.

Says the Raleigh correspondent of the
Wilmington Messenger:
Owing to the great increase in the
number of pupils at the Oxford Orphan
Asylum there is quite large excess
of the expenditures over receipts. This
it is said is some $4,000. The trustees
at meeting decided to call on the
Masons of the State to meet this. The
truth is, SO large and useful an institu-
ton as this needs and merits more
liberal aid. The State should give it
an increased appropriation.
