A Very Enjoyable Entertainment,

"A NCly HHJOydulC LHteI tdlHIucHC'
The entertainment given by home
talent at Burwell Hall Tuesday night
for the benefit Of the Confederate
monument was one of the most credi.
table and enjoyable affairs we have
witnessed in long time. They were
greeted by a large and appreciative
audience and the receipts were quite
satisfactory. The choruses were well
rendered, some of Henderson's best
vocal talent being represented, while
the farces were presented with an
ease, grace, vigor and precision that
would have done credit to professionals
1.-The Spirit of Seyenty-six,'' a drama,
in which Mrs. T. A. Davis, Mrs. J. S.
Burwell, Mrs. j. F. Harris, Miss
Louise Boshamer: Mr.. J. H. Bridgers
and Mr.. Geo. M. Newell took part was
exceedingly we'll rendered and elected
hearty applause. Where all did SO
well we can not particularize. The
gem of the evening was the Marble
Statuary. We have not seen anything
on any stage to surpass it. For quite
a while many persons i'll the audience
were not prepared to recognize in the
charming ladies and two sweet little
girls who so much looked like mani
mate statues, as taultless in drapery,
as rigid in form and as immaculate in
whiteness as Italian marble itself, their
own friends and loved ones. This
feature was strictly first-class and was
alone worth the price Of admission.
DR.. Mondschein," farce, was adj
mirably presented by Miss Jessica
Smith, Miss Jennie Shaw, Mr.. Geo.
NJ. Newell and Mr.. E. e. Butler. Each
played his or her part well and dis
played histrionic talent Of an unusual
order, but we must say the recitation
of Mr.. Newell, in the German dialect,
both pleased and surprised his friends.
He did it surprisingly well and re-
ceived warm and generous applause.
Altogether the performance was a
decided success and the ladies and
gentlemen who participated in it won
new honors and fresh laurels for them
selves.
To Mrs. T. A. Davis, Mrs. E. w.
Ellis and Mr.. Geo. S. Prichard espe-
cially is great credit due for the sue
cess of the entertainment aud we are
requested to publicly acknowledge
their services and the Indebtedness the
community owes them as well as the
OTHER ladies and gentlemen who so
kindly assisted and did so much to
make it what it was-one of the most
creditable and enjoyable amateur per-
formances yet given in Henderson.
Mrs. Burgwyn, through whose efforts
mainly the entertainment was gotten
up, has cause to felicitate herself upon
the measure of enjoyment afforded the
audience as well as the amount OF
funds realized for the worthy object in
view,

Raising Meat at Home.

The GOLD LEAF has always been
strong advocate Of our people raising
their own meat and other supplies at
home-or as nearly so as possible at
any rate. We know that there are
difficulties in the way some times, such
as hogs dying of cholera, &C., but this
is not always the case. There is little
danger of failure, or successive failures,
when the right sort of effort is made.
We are led to these thoughts by the
figures furnished us this week by Mr..
w. S. Fuller, mentioned in another
place, and Mr.. James H. Lassiter. The
last named gentleman has just killed
six hogs IA months old, that Melted
1895 pounds Of pork. Their individ-
ual weights were: 236, 26O, 900, 264,
2O3, 2lO. These were of the same
litter of pigs and not all Of them.
While the combined weight of these
six hogs was only pounds more than
the three killed by Mr.. Fuller, they
were fine size and could have been
made much heavier if they had been
kept longer. Mr.. Lassiter has killed
much larger hogs than these, having
raised three some years ago that made
an aggregate weight of 1885 pounds at
% months old. Let us hear from
others of our friends who are making
their own ''hog and hominy" at home.
While we are on the subject of rails
ing fine hogs we must make note Of
one killed by Mr.. Edward Hines. He
had g house pig little over year
old that weighed 242 pounds. Mr..
Hartmaier pronounced this one Of the
finest hogs he has ever put a knife into.
While he has handled larger ones, he
says that for compactness, fine grain
and excellent quality of meat this was
not surpassed by any he ever saw.
