THE AFRICAN EXPLORER, TO Lee
TURE HERE THIS MORNING.

After persistent effort and more or
less telegrapbing yesterday, Manager
Mays has made an engagement with
the celebrated African explorer, Hen.
ry M. Stanley, who will lecture this
morning at the opera-house, giving a
true insight into his African explora-
tions, his trials and troubles in that
far off cline, and general resume of
his 23 years whilst among the savages.
He will dwell particularly on bis great
march across Africa, the Forests Pig
mics and rescue of Emin Pasha.
The price of admission has been
fixed at Is cents; children so cents.
Mr.. Stanley travels in his own pri-
vate car and is accompanied by bis
wife, Mrs. Tennent, and Major aud

New Orleans last night, after which
he was to board his car and come
straight through to this point. The
party are expected here at $50 this

When the Monroe Telegraph Bul
letin states "that there is one wholesale
grocery house in Monroe that is dong
and will do for the year 1891, a lar
ger business than the whole town of
Alexandra, from the humblest peanut
stand to the pretentious store," that
paper makes use of an expression that
sounds a little windy, to say the least.
We believe it to be the duty of every
journalist to whoop up and blow on
his own town, but. in justice to his
neighbors he should try to confine
himself to facts. There is no sane
person who believes that the 7elc-
qraph- -Bulletiu man is in earnest when
he makes use Of the language we have
uuo.ed above. We don't say he is
crazy, Country editors never are but
from his talk we should think that be
ought to be- watched. Monroe is q
good town, but Alexandra is better
one. Time will prove the correctness
of our assertion.
