March 18th, the Knoxville Tribune of
Feb. Oath, says:
'An immense crowd of people filled
Staub's Theatre yesterday afternoon
to witness the entertainment of the
Mrs. Tom Thumb Company. and near
ly half as many more people were I'M
able to gain admission to the theatre.
The comedy and other performances
surpassed all expectations and the peo-
pie came away delighted with what
they saw. Mrs. Tom Thumb and the
other little people accompanying her,
Count and Countess Magri, are famous
the world over, and were, of course,
the leading attractions yesterday. But
in addition there were Ogawa and
Massa. the Japs, and Kinzo, the cham
pion Japanese juggler of the world.
"Another good audience witnessed
the performance last night. To-day,
at the matinee, we may expect to see
the theatre again crowded. Tonight
will close the engagement. The en-
tertainment is all that it is advertised
to be, and is we'll wort tn seeing.''

the finest thing of the kind we have

the manner of its delivery was so de-
lightfully pleasing that the audience
regretted when the speaker closed at
the end of one hour and five minutes
f,om the time he commenced. Prof
Alderman possesses rich fund of in
formation concerning the early history
of our State, and no one can weave
about it more charming spell or tell
the story more entertainingly than he

The McGibeny Family

The Ne,cs and Observer of yesterday says
this of the McGibeny Family, who are
to appear at Burwell Hall next Tuesday
evening:
The MeGibeny Family We're greeted last
evening by large and apppeciative au-
dience, and the performance was entirely
in keeping with the fine reputation of the
troupe. The music was of a varied char
acter, vocal as well as instrumental, and
there were Rotations, &c. The rendi-
ton OF the entire programme showed a
high order Of merit and we think the au-
dience will sustain us in saying that it
was decidedly the best performance that
has been seen in Raleigh in a long time.
Indeed the audience were delighted.
Without attempting any description in
detail, we may say that the Old Clock,
rendered by the male quartette, was
superlatively fine, and that Master Leo
will long be remembered.

The Raleigh State Chronicle of yes
terday has this to say of the McGibeny
after visit to that city:
The performance which the McGib-
eny family gave last evening at Metro
politan Hall was delicious. Every
member on the programme was en-
cored, and the versatility and musical
ability of the company were only
equaled by its courtesy in responding
to the unstinted yet fully deserved APP
plause. The audience, it is a pleasure
to say, was one worthy of a perform
ance so. full of merit. The company
came here with reputation and leaves
with greater one, as will be shown
by the audience which will always
greet it.

Prof. Alderman and the Teach
erS' Institute.

Prof. Alderman did good work for
Vance county last week. The Teach
ers' Institute was well attended and
we believe interest has been created
anew in the subject of education. 1t
would be hard for any one to hear the
arguments of Prof. Alderman aud lis
ten to his appeals in behalf of the
cause of public education, and not be
converted to his way of thinking, even
if he was not that way before. The
exercises closed Saturday when there
was a public address which was heard
by quite a number of our citizens. 1t
was in the talented and accomplished
Professors usual happy vein, and was
It fitting close to such an interesting
and instructive series of talks.

Our Supplement-.

The GOLD LEAF takes pleasure in
calling attention to the handsome sup
plement to this issue descriptive of
Richmond, Va, and her growing COM
mercial interests. Of the enterprise of
her progressive business men, the ex-
tent of her trade, its accessibility and
the natural advantages it possesses as
trade centre for this section of North
Carolina, we need not here speak.
Those matters are fully set forth in
the supplement. The articles about
the city will be found interesting and
valuable to the general reader while
the generous patronage of her mer-
chants indicates the high esteem in
which the GOLD LEAF as an advertis-
ing medium is held abroad.
While such periodical publications
are we'll enough in their way, right
here we would say to those firms whose
business cards are to be found in the
supplement, or many of them at least,
as well as others who are not repre-
septed among them, that it is the con-
slant advertiser who reaps the biggest
returns from his investment, and we
think more vigorous cultivation of
this field would be to their benefit.
This being great tobacco producing
section Richmond is naturally our prin-
cipal market. Our commercial inter-
ests are closely allied, and when bust
ness intercourse is established in one
branch it is very easy matter to ex-
tend the trade along other lines.
So we say that this field needs only
to be properly cultivated in order for
Richmond to divert much of the trade
into her own business channels that
now goes ~ other and no more highly
favored points.
