The statement in these columns. Last
week, respecting Hiram Atkins owner

Lynch q Co., was published under misap-
prehenslon of certain matters. The lynch
store IS part of what is currently known
as the Argus building" The sign argus
and Patriot Building extends across the
entire front, covering the part occupied bv
Lynch. The cuts Mr.. Atkins publishes of
ms establishment show the whole build
ing 10 all outside appearance, the build
ing has but one proprietorship, and per-
son not intimately acquainted with real
estate tenures in town would naturally
ana reasonably conclude that this property
mas but one ownership. Appearances are,
however, sometimes deceptfve They were
misleading in this case. They were respon

were tenants of Mr.. Atkins, the proprietor of

IHE concert under the auspices of the
Apollo Club at the Opera house on FIiday
night was greatly enjoyed by those who at
tended 1t. The programme was sufficiently
varied to sustain the interest throughout,
and each number was executed with credit
to the participant or participants. The band
mad one number, the overture, " Oriental"
which was unusually well played The
Apollo Banjo Club appeared three times,
ana was heartily applauded at each appear
ance. Indeed, encores were numerous and
impartial. The Apollo Quartette was at its
best, and its two numbers, with the re-
sponses to applause, were quite as ENJOYABLE
AS anything on the programme. To the first
encore the quartette sang Estudiantina :"
again, and to the second, "May Love the
Girls?" was given. Mr.. Bancroft's solo,
Loves Sorrow" was especially enjoyed
by the audience, and his second selection,
The Bold Soldier Boy" was also thor
oughly appreciated. Rarely have we heard
Mr. Bancroft sing with more expression
than he did Friday evening. The piano ac-
compartment of Burt l.. Taylor was un-
usually careful and sympathetic, and in his
other accompaniments the same qualities
were noticeable. W. e. Dufurs clarinet
solo was characterized by admirable execu-
tion, and the audience was extremely well
pleased, showing its pleasure in an encore,
to which Mr.. Dufur kindly responded
Master Arthur Dewey played a schottische
on the banjo, and was obliged to play again
to satisfy the pleased listeners. Master
Ray Huse made his first appearance as So
loist, and his selections were given with
touch which promises well for the future
He gives every indication of possessing the
capacity to become very fine violinist.
To the public the concert gave excellent
satisfaction, and the Apollo Club is richer
by snug sum of money.
