BAD BEHAVIOR.
Conduct at BurweIl Hall That Calls fur
Severe Structures.

The conduct Of some of the audience
at Burwell Hall Thursday night was
simply outrageous, and repetition of
such disgraceful behavior should not
be permitted. The 'show' was a
sorry affair, it is true, but it should
not be expected that a dollar and a
half entertainment would be given for
a fifteen cent ticket. And even if it
had been humbug Of the rankest kind
that did not justify any one in creating
a disturbance, insulting the manager
of the house and annoying the rest of
the audience as they did. There were
some ladies and small children present
and more respect and consideration
should have been shown for them.
We prefer 10 believe some of the
young II en- entered thouohtlessly into
what they did and that calm reflection
has made them ashamed Of the unen-
able part they took in an affair that
neither reflects credit upon their man.
ners nor displays marvellous develop
ment of the mental faculties. Any
fool and butfoon, or half idiotic "Grief'
Or "Levi,' 1--WE apologize to these in
dividuals for any odious and invidious
comparison made in the liberty taken
with their names,) could have done the
same as these young gentleman did
and then not thought themselves very
smart.
AS said before, we believe some of
them were thoughtless in what they
did. They meant it as innocent fun
joke on the magic lan,e,n man. If
the effect stopped there it would not be
so bad. Such conduct gives the place
black eye-a bad reputation abroad.
And it is this very thing that has done
more to cause Henderson to be regard
ed as a poor show town and make
Burwell Hall a non-paying property
than anything else. Many persons
have got so they rarely ever attend
any kind of performance because
there appears to be no guarantee
against their being annoyed and in
suited by bad behavior on the part of
some of the audience. It is not agree
able to have to say this but it is true,
and in the hope, that there will be no
occasion to refer to the matter again
we write as plainly as we do.
In conclusion and with all kindness
and good intent, we say: Young gen.
tlemen, don't do 50 any more. If you
do not care to witness a performance
leave the Hall and let others remain
undisturbed if they wish to. You have
no right to interrupt play or interfere
in any way with the pleasure of the
audience.
AS you respect yourself and value
the good opinion of your fellows, don't
do 1t.
AS you regard the rights and pecu-
mary interests of Mr.. Burwell, the
Manager of the Hall, don't do it.
AS you cherish the fair name and
we'll being of your town, don't do 1T.
AS you would protect and promote
your own welfare, don't do 1t.
In word, as you can't afford to act
any other than the part of gent leman
on all occasions and in all places, we
beseech you, don't do IT..
And we are quite sure when these
young men think seriously about the
matter and "see themselves as others
see Them they won't do it. And il
they shall take this in the kindly spirit
in which it is written and act upon it,
all will be forgiven.

Good Officers, But Retired.

In being retired from the police force
j. II. Malone and J. P. Hayden, have
the satisfaction Of knowing the public
verdict is that they made capable and
efficient officers. It was through no
dereliction of duty on their part that
they have been relegated to private
life. AS Chief of Police Mr.. Malone
measured well up to his duty as wise
director and judicious leader, fearless
and wide-awake as an upholder and
defender of the majesty of the law;
while a. an active, industrious and
faithful officer the town has not had a
better man on the force than Joe Hay

Glad to Hear Such Good Reports of
Him.
It is always pleasure to note the
success of our friends. And so it is
gratifying to observe the following in
the Washington IN. CO. correspondence
of the Ne,cs and Observer in reference
to a Halifax county "boy," former
school mate of the writer's, and al ION
of Mr.. Blake B. Nicholson (royal g En-
tleman and lifelong friend ofou father).
The occasion for speaking of DR.. Mich
olson is the fact that he has just been
elected Mayor of his town. Knowing
s'Sam TIM as we do we are quite pre-
pared to believe all that is said Of him,
which will give sincere pleasure to his
friends wherever read:
DR. Nicholson is one of the most emf
nent physicians, and the most public spir
tied man in town. AS a physician his
success has been phenomenal and, as q
| business man. he has no superior. Be-
ginning in small way he has rapidly
climbed the ladder OF fortune, until he is
built Hotel Nicholson, founded Nichol-
| sonville, thrifty suburb, owns the fair
grounds and race track, a handsome
home, and much other property.

SHOTTO DEATH.
A Former Citizen of Henderson Muir.
dered in Texas.

Our people were shocked last week
to learn of the tragic death Of Mr..
Parry Rowland, in Tyler, Texas,
where he lived. Sitting in his drug
store about 9 O'Clock Monday night he
was called to the door by man named
Clark who said he wished to speak to
him. Chatting with party Of friends
at the time Mr.. Rowland arose and
with smile on his face walked to the
door and out on the sidewalk where the
man was standing. Without saying a
word Clark placed his left hand on Mr..
Rowland's shoulder and with his right
deliberately put pistol to his face and
fired. The ball entered his mouth and
passing upward tore away part of the
top of his head. As his victim reeled
and fell the assassin shot him again,
the bullet taking effect in the breast.
Two more shots were fired in quick
succession, one of which took effect.
The murderer escaped and at last re-
ports had not been captured. AS Clark
fled down the street he ran into the
arms of Mr.. H. H. Rowland, but as
that gentleman did not know his BROTH
er had been shot, nor that any one had
in fact, although he witnessed the
shooting from a distance, he made no
effort to catch the fleeing man. And
if he had it is probable that another
tragedy would have been added TO the
one just committed as the murderer
evidently reserved one ball to protect
himself in his flight.
The affair is very sad and deplo-
rable one. Mr.. Rowland was native
of this town, being the youngest son of
the late Horace II. Rowland, He had
many relatives and host of friends in
the community. Several years ago he
went to Texas and like his brothers had
been remarkably successful and pros
porous in business. He leaves an es-
tate estimated to be worth about
100000. His tragic and untimel y
death is rendered but the sadder, il
possible, from the fact that he was to
have been married in very short time
The cause of the affair is not posi-
lively known here. 1t appears, how
ever, that Mr.. Rowland some time
ago had been instrumental in having
the fellow Clark prosecuted in court
and he was sent to Jail. Having but
recently served his time out, as we un-
derstand, it is supposed he took this
means to get revenge.

Must Do Better, Brother Britt.

1t is now said that Mr. Thos. W.
Winston owns the finest COW in Oxford,
while Mr.. w. J. Pitchford, just outside
the corporation, has one that gives 4
gallons and one quart per day.-Hblse
Ledger.
1t will be observed that nothing is
said about the breed of either Of the
cows above mentioned, and ''profes-
sional' would be somewhat at a loss
to pass upon their respective merits.
And again, Mr.. WinstOn's cow is
nameless as to her milk record, from
which we infer that she falls behind
the output of Mr.. Pitchford's tactical
fluid factory. All Of which moves us
to submit the following: The writer
has an ordinary little scrub of a
COW lin appearance) but little over two
years and one-half old, with her first
calf, which gives every day from three
and half to four gallons of milk, and
has gone as high as four gallons and one
quart. And she is not yet in prime
condition, nor has she the advantages
of luxurious grass pasture to revel in
Age and breed considered we challenge
Brother Britt to beat that.
