Something New Under the Sun.

1t is said there is nothing new under the
sun. That may be true of most things but
not of all. Men are developing themselves
in every possible direction. They are re-
vealing possibilities in the development of
themselves that were not dreamed of a very
few years ago. Take, for instance, the &C
complishments Of men in the circus.
What were deemed the most marvellous
feats of skill only a few years ago are now
relegated to the past with the largest of the
travelling exhibitions, and are seen with
only the smallest concerns who cannot af-
ford to employ the skillful men who per
form what are now regarded as marvellous
feats. 1t is safe to say that it has been the
Adam Forepaugh Show which has ever
kept in the lead in exhibiting men and wo-
men who are more skillful than those who
have previously been exhibited. They will
visit this city shortly, and they promise a
series of performances that are not only
new, but far SURPRISING in every respect
anything that has ever been seen in circus
before. These acts added to the always
magnificent menagerie of these shows, and
the reputation they have for running q
show wherein the comfort of their patrons
is as carefully looked after as it can posi-
bly, be, and it is seen at once what a sp1en-
did attraction they will be to the amuse-
ment loving public of this City and vicin-
ity. They will be here on Saturday, April
21st.

Richard Ill in Black.

Shakespeare's Richard III as given by
the young colorel amateurs Of Staunton at
the Opera House Tuesday night, was a
surprise all around. The white audience
in the lower part of the house was both
large and fashionable; many Of the ladies
and their escorts who were to attend the
german at the Crowle hall, later, being in
full evening dress. The other parts of the
house were packed with colored people.
The play was well rendered by the whole
company. and striking feature was their
excellent pronunciation. James s. Woods
as Richard III, gave fine display of good
acting throughout. When it is remember
ed that he is a Staunton young man who
never saw the play except twice-by Ward
and Keene-from his seat in the gallery of
the Opera House, and that his study of the
character has been made without any help
whatever, his effort was simply wonderful.
In what is usually called the tent scene,
where the ghosts of his victims pass; in
the courtship of Lady Anre, and in the
duel with Richmond his acting was admir-
able and was good throughout. The Earl
of Richmond Charles H. Carter) WAS eX-
celIently done. and King Edward (Chas.
A. HalD, and the Duke of Norfolk James
W. Hines), were noticeably good. Lady
Anne DORA B. Graves, was surprisingly
good Taken all together it was all effort
most creditable to our young colored peo-
pie and something they can well be proud
of

planted just previous to the cold, badly rot

begins to feel a little blue, but if those fel-

work, the feeling of confidence sure to fol-
low such action, will restore our confidence

Death Of Mr.. aeo. N. marrell.
CLOSE OF A LONG AND ROMANTIC LIFE.

Mr. Geo. NJ Mnrrell of Lynchburg, died
last Saturday afternoon at O'Clock, at the
st. Charles Hotel in New Orleans, where
he had been stopping for week. He had
gone to that city on his way to his sugar
plantation, ''Tallyho." near Bayou Sara.
His wife and one son were with him. His
remains were buried in Metairie cemetery
| temporarily, and will be removed to Lynch
burg for burial. He was the father Of Mrs.
Frank Alexander of Staunton, and had
many friends here, made during his
visitsto his daughter. The New Orleans
| Plcayune Of last Sunday says of him:
Geo NJ. Murrell, the sugar planter. who
died Saturday afternoon in the st. Charles
Hotel, was remarkable man. He was quiet
and unpretentlous, and had strong aversion
| to seeing his name in print. While he was
slow to forget injury OF insult, he never let
an opportunity pass to befriend man in
trouble. He was strictly honest-honest with
himself-and resembled in his characteristics
Sam Houston. of Texas.
| Murrell died at a remarkable old age. He
was born in 1903, and while he lived through
number of wars, he never fought in any.
lie removed from Virginia to the State of
tennessee when young man, and fell in
with the Cherokee Indians, who took fancy
to him and begged him to make his home
among them. When they were removed from
East Tennessee to the Indian territory, in 1916,
he followed the band, and settled among
them, remaining until the outbreak of the
war. He married Cherokee maiden, niece
OF the Indian chief, John Ross. who resided
prior to 1910. at Ross Landing, the spot
where the city of Chattanooga is now situat-
ed. His wife died some time after and he
married his surviving wife, who was sister
to his first wife. He loved the Indians, and
was always their ambassador for peace
Murrell made many treaties, which were
greatly to the advantage of his adopted peo-
pie. They never forgot him, and while among
them nothing was too good for him. He new
Ell returned to them after the war; for more
than short periods at Il time. He resided in
| Lynchburg, Va, and came here to visit his
plantation, known as the Tallyho, near Ba-
you Sara.
Mnrrell was naturally very shrewd man,
and was one Of the old-style gentlemen who
| despised form and hypocrisy worse than any
| human discrepancies. He was true as steel,
and as brave as a lion.

The Civ Finances.

The annual report of Messrs. w. P.
Tams, John D. Crowle and Richard P.
Bell, composing the finance Committee of
the City Council, is a very creditable one.
The appropriations for 1894 Is are 500, $780,
90, and include $500 for the Public
Schools. The income of the CITY, through
new subjects of taxation resulting from its
growth, is nearly $4,000 over what 1t has
been, and all the improvements are carried
on without any increase in the rate of tax
alton.
