Superior Court.

Regular spring term Of Vance Su-
perior court convened Monday. Ow-
ing to the fact that Judge Boykin did
not arrive until O'Clock there was no
morning session. His honor's charge
to the grand jury was carefully con-
sidered, we'll conceived document and
in plain words and emphatic language
covered the rangeof their duties.
Owing to the absence Of Solicitor
Bernard Mr.. A. G. Zolicotier, of the
Henderson bar, is representing the
State. Saying this it is needless to add
that the duties of that Office will be
ably and intelligently discharged. Mr..
Bernard was here but received tele-
gram Sunday night conveying the in
formation that half of the bus mess
part Of Greenville was burned. He
left for home on the next train. Mr..
Bernard was heavy loser by the fire.
All the court officers are alert and
prompt in their duties and business is
dispatched in speedy and systematic
manner. Judge Boykin is one Of the
ablest and best judges Oh the Superior
Court bench, and he has the confidence
and respect Of those who are brought
in contact with him, in the fullest de-
gree.

justice. This style of engraving is not
adapted to newspaper work. hence the
printing is not as clean and clear cut as
it should be to show the handsome face
and pleasing expression Of the original
subject to full advantage. However,
that was the fault of the engraver, for
which the Record made due apology to
DR.. Harris in its last issue. Here is
what it said of our popular townsman:

A Distinguished Party.

\ special train of four Pullman
coaches and baggage car passed
through Henderson Tuesday convey
ing a number Of distinguished people
from Colorado to New York. There
were 80 persons in the party among
them being about dozen ladies'. They
were representatives of the various
Mining Exchanges Of Denver, Pueblo,
Colorado Springs, Victor, etc., going
to be present at the opening of the
New York City Mining Exchange.
They had with them many beautiful
specimens of ColOrado's mineral wealth
which were exhibited with enthusiastic
pride. Those with whom we talked
expressed themselves as favOrably i'm
pressed with this section of the coun-
try and were greatly pleased with the
excellent service OF the Seaboard Air
Line by which route they were travel
ling. The train stopped here Tor din

A Splendid Entertainment.

One of the very best and most enjoy
able entertainments given in Hender-
son by local talent was that at Burwel
Hall Monday night. The programme
was admirably arranged and we'll car
ried out III every particular. 1t was
unique i'll character. artistic in concep-
ton, pleasing in presentation. Every
feature was good, each part was we'll
portrayed. Owing to the extent and
diversity of the programme it is impos-
sibe to speak Of each lady and gentle
man in their individual capacity-as
they deserve-and where all acquitted
themselves SO admirably in their res
pective roles it would not be fair to
particularize. Suffice it to say the en-
tertanment as whole was highly
creditable to the ladies having it in
charge as we'll as to those taking part
i'll the play.
Notwithstanding the unfavorable con-
ditlon of the weather they had good
audience and the proceeds were very
satisfactory. 1t is to be hoped the en-
tertalnment will be repeated in the
near future.
