He's a Good One, Too.

That is a good one is number two.
We mean the agent Of the second ad-
vertising brigade Of Bob Hunting's
Railroad Shows. That gentleman is
Mr.. F. w. Mindrop, who called on
Tuesday and gave us the pleasure of
renewing an agreeable acquaintance
formed about two years ago when he
was here as advance agent Of John
sons Minstrels. He is an ex-news-
paper man and of late years has sue
cessfully piloted number Of theatrical
companies about the country, leading
them into new fields and pastures
green where popular favor and ducats
we're theirs and is now doing similar
service for the big aggregation Of cir
Gus, museum and menagarie which will
pitch its tents in Henderson Saturday.
Mr.. Mindrop is an intelligent, wide
awake, hustling advertising agent, and
withal an agreeable and entertaining
gentleman whom to know is to like.
Such men make good impression for
the show they represent. But Mr..
Hunting has none but clever men in
his service.

tobacco this fall, paying highest prices,

Public Speaking.

Hons. G. Nj. Cooke and w. f.
Stroud, Democratic and Populist
candidates for Congress, spoke in the
court house here Saturday. There
was large crowd to hear them and
both gentlemen put their side of the
political issues before their hearers in
as strong and effective manner as
possible. There was great enthusiasm
on both sides. AS we did not hear but
little of either speech we can give no
further account.
After they had finished, John Will
hanson, the we'll known colored speaker
of Louisburg. took the stand and made
a ringing speech in favor of the Repub-
lican candidate T. &. Millikin, who had
been advertised to be present but did
not come. We are told this was the
richest speech Of the day. He scored
the Populists numerically, and we
blush for them when we say that he
completely wiped up the floor with
a white Third party man who inter-
rupted him in the course Of his argu-
ment.

HUNTING'S SHOWS.
They Will Pitch Their Tents in Hem
derSOn SATURDAY.,

Our exchanges, in the Eastern part
of this State and elsewhere, have been
generous in praise Of Bob Hunting's
Railroad Shows-circus. museum and
menagerie. Everywhere it satisfies
its patrons and leaves a good impress
sion behind. While it makes no pre-
tentions to being the greatest show
on earth,' yet all who have seen it at
test to the superior character of its
program and general makeup. 1t al
ways keeps faith with the public and
gives them clean, high class enjoya-
BILE entertainment. Among it's male
and female performers are many who
have achieved arenic fame and are well
known to the show -going public.
Newspapers and travelling men who
have seen the show at various places.
testify to its general excellence, and
say that one Of the most noticeable
features is the entire absence of all
questionable characters and followers.
No unfair dealing is permitted, nor do
the management stop here, but en-
ploy men whose duties are to keep
crooks and gamblers away from the
grounds and to thoroughly protect the
patrons of the show. Coming 50 well
endorsed and recommended, We do not
hesitate to commend it to those of our
readers who delight in amusements

Miss Halle Young.

a very pretty marriage, in which an
unusual degree of interest centred. was
solemnzed at the Presbyterian church

and fashionable audience. The con-
tracing parties were two of Hender-
sons popular and most estmable
yound people Mr.. William A. Hunt,
cashier Of the Bank of Henderson, and
Miss Halle. daughter of Mrs. z. w.
Dung. The ceremony was performed
at 800 O'Clock, the pastor Rev. DR..
Morton officiating. Miss Daisy Ste
phens presided at the organ and rem
dered beautiful wedding march, the
brigal party entering in the following
order: Little Mabel Young, niece OF
the bride, flower girl, proceeded first
and opened the gates-silken cords fas-
tened across the aisles. Then came
the ushers Messrs. J. D. Rose, S. D..
Dung and J. H. Lassiter, followed by
the attending couples: Misses Jessie

ter Bennett Perry, page, bearing the
wedding ring on a silver salver; the

The ceremony was a beautiful and
impressive one, the remarks of the
ministe: being peculiarly fitting and
the surroundings entirely appropriate
to the occasion. Potted plants and cut
flowers decorated the altar and the
brilliant light of the chandeliers added
lustre to the picture of beauty and
lovelness presented. The bride wore
tasty and neat fitting dress of bengal
Inc silk en- tram, and carried an eXquls-
lite bouquet of maiden roses in her
hand.
After the marriage the bridal party
and few immediate friends repaired
to the residence Of Mr.. Young where
reception was given them. 1t was
an elegant affair in every way and that
the occasion was enjoyed to the fullest
extent by the gay company present
need not be added. The supper was
an elaborate and splendid one, pre-
pared in superior style and served in a
manner both charming and delightful.

A Good Show.
The New Berne Journal says this of
Bob IIuntlng's circus which performed
in that town a few days ago:
Two fcats at bareback riding were re-
markably fine, and have been ac-
complishcd by only few-that of rider
turning II complete somersault on Il
horse under speed, and another to leap
from the ground to the back OF Il running
horse that was entirely free of all harness
or gearing attachments of any kind.
| These feats We're accomplished by Mr..
Dave CASTILLO, the champion bareback
rider of the world.
Among other skilful features We're
| swinging and flying trapeze perform
ances. \ portion of this was new, and
| said to be accomplished in no other
]
! circus. Turning a sOmersault backwards
| to the ground from Il ladder 30 feet high
was daring and thrilling act.
The general demeanOr OF all those con
nected with the show was far above the
average. As far as we could learn there
was no drunkenness. rowdyness, or i'm
/ positions practiced
The Greenville Reflector speaks very
complimentary Of the show, after its
visit to that town last week. Here Is
