A Superb Concert Company

An Emporia, Kansas, paper says
this of the Smith Sisters-Ariel Ladies'
SeXtette-who will give one of their
omrarable concert entertainments
at BurweIl Hall next Wednesday eve
ming:
Nearly twelve hundred people were
present at the entertainment given last
night by the Ariel Ladies' Sextette,
consisting of the Smith Sisters, whom
fate will never be able to conceal if
their programmes are always as good
as that of last night.
Every number was encored, some of
them even four times. Miss Marguer-
lite Smiths readings were pronounced
the best ever heard here. Her story
of the Little Dead Cat" was lisping
classic that was beautifully interpreted.
The solos Of Miss Gertrude were very
fine. The Waltz Song was superb,
and showed careful culture of voice.
Miss Grace Smith was accorded an
ovation at the close of each of her
solos.
If pleasing every member of IL large
audience is any measure OF success.
then the Smith Sisters gave a more
successful entertainment than any
other of the year. We understand an
effort will be made to get them back
next fall. If they come, a great crowd
will greet them.

rlarried in LOuiSburg.

The Louisburg Times of last week
records the marriage of a young lady
who is we'll known in Henderson, where
she formerly lived and has many rela-
tives. It says:
In the parlors of the Meadows Hotel,
Cd Wednesday night, at 81 O'Clock,
Mr.. Robert Z. Garlic and Miss Emma
Meadows were united in the holy bonds
OF wedlock. Rev. W. B. Morton Off
cated.
The groom is clever young gentle
man, and one of Louisburg's prosper
Gus merchants. The bride is a daugh-
ter of our friend DR.. j. S. Meadows.
She is young lady of many charms
and beloved by all who know her.

Efforts to Organize an Odd Fellows
Lodge

There is not another town in the
State the size of Henderson that has
no Odd Fellows Lodge. Many places
much smaller have two tourishing
lodges. Just why there is not at least
one here we do not know. But it is
probably due to the fact that an effort
has not been made in that direction.
Mr.. ]. NJ. Norwood, prominent Odd
Fellow of Raleigh, was here yester
day interesting himself in organizing
lodge of that order and we are pleased
to state that he met with much encour-
agement. Several persons gave their
names for membership aud it is more
than likely that good lodge will soon
be in working order in Henderson,.
Mr.. Ed I. Peoples will solicit names
formembership aud as soon as the de-
sired number is secured a charter will
be applied for.
The merits of the order of ODD Eel
lows are too we'll known to dwell upon
There is a fiourishing Masonic Lodge
in Henderson and we hope soon to see
an Odd Fellows Lodge here also.

The New Expression.

sYour trolley is off, is indeed quite
catchy. It was made over the Tele-
phone evening before last by gentle
man from Richmond, and almost in the
same breath he Informal US that the
Henderson telephones undoubtedly sur
passed those he was accustomed to.
We were of course glad to have an
other word of commentator added to
the long, long list, but everybody
knows that the articulation through
the Henderson Telephone Co.'S instru-
ments is of such high character that
none but the very finest material, used
by expert labor under the direction of
recognized electricians, can be ex-
pected to equal them.
The service of the Exchange oper-
ated in Henderson is second to NONE,

such uubonnded confidence in it that they
have placed 10 cent sample bottles on the
market. and even so small quantity
proves beneficial i'll vast majority of cases.
