wachovia Brook Bridge Completed.

The bridge across W achovia Brook
at the foot of Main street, Salem, is
now completed and street cars were
run across it Wednesday for the
first time. The cars were run to the
ends of the two lines on the lands OF
the Winston-Salem Land and Invest
ment Company-one leading out to
Sunny Side and the other to the
Sunny Side Park.
The company is to be congratula-
ted upon the..completion of this bridge
by far the finest and most substantial
bridge in the State, outside of those
owned by the railroad companies
The bridge is 1O4 feet long, support
ed by five iron girders that rest OF
either side against heavy granite
abutments. The width of the bridge
is SIS feet, 40 feet of which is devoted
to road ways and X feet on each
side for foot passengers. tits a credit
to our towns and is richly worth to
them all it cost the company-but
the towns did not have to invest a
single dollar in it's construction.

That Baby Show

Tie chances are that the Standard
Music Company, of this place, is go
ing to have some fun out of its ba-
by show at Raleigh before it gets
through with it. The mothers of
this or any other State don't have
any ugly babies-thev are all pretty
very pretty-and the man thai
undertakes to say which is tho pref
test is going to run the risk of hav-
ing some of his fowirg locks yanked
out by the handful. It is however
understood that the Standard Music
Company have arranged for the
judges to occupy iron cages while
rendering their decision-each one
of which will wear mask. There
is going to be hot times around Ra-
leigh when this thing comes off.

John Robinson's Great Worlds Ex-
position.
Probably the most colossal as we'll
as the most nervy am usement ven
ture of the day is that inaugurated
this season by the management of
the John Robinson show-a venture
requiring an expenditure so enor-
nous that q statement of the amount
would scarcely be credited by the
general reader. We allude to the
production on a scale of magnitude
and opulent splendor, never prece-
dented, of the new biblical spectacle
Of Solomon, his Temple, and the
Queen of Sheba, spectacle prolific
in grand scenic effect, impressive in
pomp and pageantry, realistic in its
reproductions of the patriarchal era,
sacred in its biblical associations,
and enhancing in its ballots, poses.
marchings and groupings. The visit
of the Queen of Sheba to King Sol
omon's court with her immense and
richly eostumed retinue, the Judg
ment Of Solomon, the Sacrifices in
the Temple, Solomon's Seven Hun
dred Wives, the grand Professional
Pageant to meet and welcome She
ba's lovely queen, the Walls and
City of Jerusalem, the Inner Court
of Solomon's Temple, the great
Throne of Ivory, the Sacrificial Ger
emonies, the Sacred Ark of the Gov
enant, the bewitching Ballots of
lovely Cresset Girls, and myriad
features that can not be given in
detail, are the attractions this won
drous spectacle presents. With
such a desirable feature added to
the admirable Circus, the vast Mena-
gerie, and the royal Roman Hippo
drome, the many canvasses, spacious
as they are, should and will be
packed from center to circumference
by eager and gratified spectators
each afternoon and evening. The

Salem in the Musical Festival

The Exposition Musical Festival,
at Raleigh, in which the Salem Or
chestra and Choral class figured SO
prominently, was altogether a great
success. As the guests of the city,
Raleigh did her part admirably il
entertaining. the musicians, while the
citizens and other visitors who at
tended were charmingly entertained,
certainly, the two evenings of the
festival. The Salem Orchestra refiec-
ted great credit upon the city from
which it hailed and che singers, espe-
cially the soloists, were all vocalists
of great merit, and in this feature,
too, Salem scored well. The Salem
contingent, indeed, presented the
best balanced chorus in attendance
and congratulations we're heard on
every side for her aid in the great
festival, and the congratulations
were deservedly paid. The orchestra
and class returned on a special car
Saturday night, and he trip home
was a merry one, indeed. The ladies
and gentlemen all entertain the most
pleasant memories of the trip and if
the occasion is duplicated, later, no
city will be more willing to aid than
Salem. In her musical circles clus-
ter the brightest OF amatuer talent,
and such merit deserves the appre-
citation that has so literally been &C.
corded.
