Some EclIpses.

There will be four eclipses this year,
two of the sun and one of the moon.
and a lunar appulse. The appulse will
occur at 10 minutes past midnight, June
2lst. The name of the planet which
pale Cynthia passes and apparently
strikes is not given. An annular
eclipse of the sun will take place
on the 18th of the same month; in
visible in the United States. There
will be partial eclipse of the moon on
the 18th of November, invisible in this
country. On the 18th of December
there will be central eclespse of the
sun, invisible. And then Henderson
will eclipse all former efforts in the
building line this year. Mark the pre-
diction.

A Performance Of Rare Merit.

Unquestionably one of the most mer-
itorious theatrical troupes that ever
delighted a Henderson audience was
the Royce & Lansing Comedy Musical
Company. This we are sure is the
verdict of the large, intelligent and ap-
preciative body of people that greeted
the company upon their appearance at
Burwell Hall Tuesday evening. We
went expecting good performance,
but were not altogether prepared for
as rare treat as was given us. Mr..
Ray L. Royce is talented and versa
tile artist, and in his special role is sec
ond only to Sol Smith Russell, and his
equal in some respects. He has an
excellent support in Mr.. Charles Hor-
WITT, character artist and vocalist,
while Mr.. Fred Archer and Misses
Lizzie Royce and Nellie Harris, who
perform on various musical instru-
ments, and Mr.. Olaf Moen, violinist,
are all accomplished artists and make
up company of rare excellence and
merit. They give a clean, clear cut
performance and one that is thoroughly
enjoyable throughout. There is not an
inferior actor in the company nor is
there is poor or Objectionable feature
about anything they do.
Mr.. Royce and his associates i'm
pressed us as genteel and refined peo-
pie, who seem to extract as much
pleasure from their work as they afford
amusement to others.

The Vance Guards.

Lieut.. Perry tells us that instructions
from Quartermaster-General Odds, OF
the State Guard, to Capt. Daingerfield,
are that the Vance Guards will be fur
nished dress and fatigue suits and over
coats at once. These will be the regu-
lation uniforms and the boys will pre-
sent a handsome and soldierly appear
ance in their new clothes. This pro-
vision of the State together with the
money appropriation and the allowance
of the County Commissioners will put
the company in better condition finan-
cially than ever before.
There is one thing we wish to say in
this connection. Some of the business
men do not seem to take that interest
in the welfare of the company that they
should. If they are not willing to
allow their employees who are members
IL hours a year it appears that they do
notappreciate the value and importance
to the community of an organization of
this kind at its true worth. One hour
only for dress-parade-in the afternoon
once month, is all that is asked of
their time, but some of the members
find it difficult to attend that small duty.
The business men must do better in
this respect. Their reputation and the
reputation of the town, as well as tina
Of the Vance Guards, individually and
collectively, is at stake and they must
guard it more jealousy. Gentlemen,
think of it and act accordingly.

The Raleigh & CASTOR Railroad COM
pany are again in possession of the
right of way heretofore used as the
Rishmond & Danville's track down
town. This forces the trains of the
latter to stop at their freight depot,
greatly to the inconvenience Of the
travelling public. Such all arrangement
is by no means satisfactory to our
people and it is hoped and believed
that the Richmond s. Danville people
will not be content to let it exist long
er than they can do otherwise. Indeed,
the matter of securing a right of way
for the laying of a track and bringing
their trains down to their passenger
depot as formerly, is under considera-
ton.

HENDERSON, \. c., Jan. IA, 1890.
Rev. ALEX SpRUNT, Chairman.
My Dear SRI am very grateful to the
pastors of the town for the expression
through you of their approval of my
course as Mayor in endeavoring to abate
that noxious nuisance, the house of pros
titution in this town.
'',The Law is King" Every citizen has
swofn to render that king obedience.
Every officer has sworn it tUiee. One
branch of that Kings prerOgative (and
that too for the good of his subjects) is
that nuisances, those things that are to
the common hurt and injury, must be
abated and removed; and of these, bawdy
houses have long been considered the
greatest in their results.
Then how could [ haveretainedm my self
respect and good citizenship, had / done
less than | did?
Some citizens say the law is wrong; that
this nuisance is not nuisance. But If
the experience of mankind and the Obser-
walton of every intelligent and right
thinking person did not prove the con-
trary, there is the law that saith: ''Then
when lust hath conceived it bringeth
forth sin; and sin, when it is finished bring
eth forth DEATH
Others say, great and mighty law-crit-
les they are. that | did not proceed ac-
cording to law. The books say did. If
| am wrong, the courts are open. The
only error AIN conscious of is in waiting
so long.
am thankful to you and to all Others
who hold up my hands in my efforts to
teach the erring respect for those laws
that require common decency. If there
are any who do not sustain Inc, then so
much the svorse for them. Ii they can stand
it can. Again thanking you and your
brethren of the ministry,
am with great respect,
Yours and the laws obedient servant,
T. T. Hicks.

Chas. f. Day, whose arrest in Ok
ford tor forgery was published last
week, was convicted and sentenced to
the penitentiary for five years. Day
thanked the Judge when sentence was
pronounced upon him and expressed a
desire to be sent to the State prison as
soon as possible, giving as his reason
that he did not like to be confined in
Jail any longer than convenient for
him to get away. Judge Armfield told
the prisoner he would be accommo-
dated at as early a moment as the
Sheriff could find it possible to leave his
duties as officer of the court. and Chas.
E. Day is now safe behind the walls of
the penitentiary. This is indeed sad

O'Clock at night. The whole night stan
usually assemble in response TO the cry,
"C-e-n-s-O-r!' and one of the editors looks
over the slips and announces 10 his Co
workers the nature OF the changes that have
been made by the official guardian Of the
public mind and morals, and reads aloud
the titles or headings Of the articles that
have been forbidden altogether. \ hasty
consultation is then held with regard To- the
course 10 be pursued. If the very vitals of
an editorial article have been cut out by the
censor, the night editor must decide whether
the remains can be patched up by means of
"A skllful surgical operation, so that they
will have the semblance of organic life and
unity, or whether, on the other hand. they
are so mutilated that nothing can be done
with them, except b. bury them in the

have been again examined, and the censor
