were present to JOE in honoring the prom
incnt visitors, in whose honor the Gov
eruor and Mrs. Russell joined the Cham
Der of Commerce in making their visit
to Raleigh memorable.
1t was a delightful reception. and the
company did not make .heir adicuS until
near midnight.
The music by the string band added
TO the pleasures of the evening, and the
music by two of the States most accom-
plished &Soung ladies was a treat thor
oughly enjoyed. The solos by Miss
Smith, of Peace Institute, and Miss Pet
ty, of Carthage, were heartily encored,
and were warmly praised by the visitors.
The music was of the highest order and
greatly pleased the party who voted it
among the most delightful of the enter
tainments given in their honor anywhere
! Raleigh audiences are partial to these tai
ented artists. New Jersey editors and
| their wives showed the same partiality,
and the same just appreciation Of the best
! talent.
| Toward the close of the evening, Mayor
| Russ. who had added much to the enter
tainment Of the visitors, was prevailed
on to sing, and his rendition of Down

visitors as it was happily rendered, COM
! pletely captured them, men and women
alike, and every member of the party
| is anxious to stay over till the municipal
| election in order to put in a vote for
! the popular Mayor. There isn't a sign

| They were so pleased that the Mayor
was forced to respond to an encore, and
| he gave an imitation of an old time negro
! preacher trying to remove the cOldness
| from the congregation. 1t was inmita-
| bic.
After the music, the party, the com
| mittec, and the prominent citizens and
| ladies who had called, were invited to
the state dining room where a choice col
| lation was served. Seldom, of ever, has a
| moreselegant and more bountiful spread
! been served to any gathering in Raleigh.
| The table decorations were red, white
| and blue.
| Before saying goodnight Mr.. Frank
| w. Baldwin, editor of the Chronicle, Of
| Orange, y. J., made happy speech, ex-
pressing the appreciat ton of the visitors
! to the Governor, Mayor, and Chamber of
! Commerce for the hospitality shown,
and declaring their pleasure at finding
greater push and prosperity in the South
| than they had found in other sections.
| Mayor Russ was called upon to respond
He did so felicitOusly, telling an anec-
| dote that convulsed and it also charmed
the whole company.
The Chamber of Commerce highly APP
preciate the courtesy and generous hOSpi-
tally which prompted the Governor and
Mrs. Russell to give the Chambers guests
an evening Of rare enjoyment which
will add to their pleasant impression Of
the visit to Raleigh.
