Keep the matter quiet would be the

High Class Musical Attraction.

Manager Burwell has secured for
next Monday evening a high class
musical attraction in the Nendelssohn
Symphony Club Ladies' Trio, of Balti-
more, an organization which is en-
dorsed by clergymen as we'll as press
and public. This is pronounced the
most finished ladies' trio extant, rem
dering nothing but classical music of
the masters, solos, Duets, trios, read
ings and Instrumentation. Rev. J. F.
Lyon, pastor of the Methodist church
in Rockingham. n. c., says:
1T is not often Rockingham aud
fence has the good fortune to be SO
highly entertained by artists of such a
high order of talent as the ladies COM
posing this Trio. Most unfortunate
those who were not present last night
for it was first-class in every respect.
L cheerfully recommend the Trio to
any community wishing a strictly high
tone entertainments
Rev. T. II. Hurley, pastor Of the NJ.
f. Church in Oxford, says this:
1.-The Mendelssohn Ladies Trio gave
one of their delightful concerts last
evening at the Opera House, for the
benefit of our church. The numbers
were all excellent!y rendered, and each
received a hearty ovation. We cor
daily commend them to the Christian
public,'

How to Advertise.

Everybody must see a large adver-
tisement. and everybody may see a
SIN all one.
Liberalty in advertising, as well as
in every other part of the business, re-
duces the chances.
The doing of a thing as it should be
done may not result in profit, but if the
right way of doing something doesn' t
pay. the wrong way of doing it cannot
pay, and if the poorer way pays some
thing, the better way must pay better.
Economic if you must. but remember
that you had better economic on your
advertising last. for the people may not
know you are economizing when you
cut here and there inside of your bust
ness. but the world knows you are not
doing we'll when you cut in the size O
your advertising space. -Erchange.

To Run a Newspaper-A Bright Writer
Gives Away Secrets of the Trade.

An Ohio paper having thoughtlessly
remarked that it takes money to run a
newspaper, the editor Of the Saguache
tColorado) Herald, promptly comes for
ward in behalf of the profession and
nails the lie in this emphatic manner:
ut doesn't take money TO run a
newspaper; it can be run without
money. 1t is charitable institution,
begging concern, a highway robber.
The newspaper is the child of the air,
creature Of dream. 1t can 20 on
and on and on, when any other con-
Germ would be in the hands of receIv-
er and wound up with cobwebs in the
window. 1t takes gall to run news
paper. 1t takes scintillation, aero
batlc imagination, and a half dozen
white shirts, and railroad pass TO run
newspaper. But money-Heavens
to Betsy and six hands round; who
ever needed money in conducting IA
newspaper!
kind words are the medium Of ex-
change that do the business for the
editor-kind words and church social
tickets. When you see An editor with
money, watch him. He'll be paying
bills and disgracing his profession.
Never give money to an editor. Make
him trade it out. He likes to swap.
Then when you die, after having stood
around for years and sneeied at the
editor and his little jim crow paper, be
sure and have your wife send in for
three extra copies by one of your weep
ing children, and when she reads the
generous and touching notice about
you, forewarn her to neglect TO send
fifteen cents to the editor. 1t would
overwhelm him.
money is corrupting thing. The
editor knows it, and what he wants is
your heartfelt thanks. Then he can
thank the printers and then they can
thank their grocers. Take your job
work elsewhere and then come and as k
for half rates for church notices.
1.-The Lord loves the cheerful giver.
He'll take care ofall the editors. Don t
worry about the editor. He has a
charter from the State to act as door
mat for the community. He'll get the
paper out somehow; and stand up for
you when you run for office, and lie
about your pigeon-toed daughters
tackey wedding, and blow about your
big-footed sons when they get a 81 per
week job, and weep over your shriveled
soul when it is released from your
grasping body, and smile at your giddy
wife's second marriage. He'll get
along. The Lord alone knows how
but the editor will get there some way"

A Deserved Compliment.

The Durham Sun in speaking Of Mr..
Charles D. Hammond, manager Of the
Alice Byno Dramatic Company, which
is playing an engagement at Burwell
Hall, in Henderson this week, pays
that gentleman very high compliment
and one we are prepared to say since
meeting him is entirely deserved. I'm
der the caption of "A High Toned Cen
tleman," among other things it says:
Mr.. Hammond has a tender feeling
for the newspaper fraternity, having
been in the business himself. He is
thoroughly conversan with the trials,
ups and down Of newspaper life. For
a number Of years he was member of
the Iowa Editorial Association, and
for two years was secretary of the As
ISOLATION.
He is an exceedingly pleasant gen
tleman in manners and conversa
ton. We have never met more
agreeable, entertaining and heightened
gentleman than we found Mr.. Ham
mond to be. He is an ornament to
any profession. He impressed us i'll
the most favorable manner. We wish
for him unbounded success.

The moral effect of early acquaintance
with scientific truth is illustrated 10y a
little story which the Rev. DR.. Plumb
tells in the Boston Transcript:

other State, said 10 Mrs. Hunt. Il shall
vote for your bill. have sold out my
brewery. and am clean from the whole
business. Let me tell you what occurred

''Whrn the liquor was poured out to
give the man, the lad insisted on pushing
it back.
"'Iou will kill him; he has too much
blood in his head already
How did YOU know all that" his
father aftcrward asked.
Why it is in my physiology at
school.
1t seems the textbooks prepared by
such men as Prof. Newell Martin, f. X
s., of Johns Hopkins University, had
succet ded in giving the lad some definite
information which was proving useful
''Senator,' said Mrs. Hunt, care YOU
sorry your boy learned that at school,
Madam, the man replied, raising his
hand, Il would not take five thousand
dollars for the assurance this gives me
that my boy will never be a drunkard.'
We have clipped this from the YOUTHS
Companion to illustrate the effect of the
temperance education that is going on
in our public schools, and also to recog-
niZe the fact that the book referred to
and published by the W. J. c. Dulany
Company, is in Use in all the schools OF
Maryland. May this kind of education
continue until not a boy in the State

THE ALICE BYNO DRAnATIC COM.
PhNY.
A Strong Combination Presenting
Popular PLAYS at Popular Prices.

1t is seldom Henderson play goers
have an opportunity Of witnessing such
merltorlOus performances rs those
being presented at Burwel Hall this
| week by the Alice Byuo Dramatic
Company. They opened Monday n ght
with East Lynne and the play was
rendered in a manner creditable alike
to the individual performers and pleas
. ing to the audience.
Miss Byno is a talented actress with
| charming personality and graceful
presence, while Mr.. Charles Z. King,
the leading support, is a strong actor
who plays his part to perfection. Mr..
Charles ID. Hammond and Mr.. Will f.
Keller are deserving Of special mention
both being actors Of ability whose roles
are essayed with intelligence and
strength of character; while Misses
Flossie Lusk and Norma Reed are
IN their respective spheres with lustre
dlmmed only by the star" herself.
The other members Of the Company,
Messrs. Frank Gavin, Geo. +. Mitch
ell, Paul Freeman, Wentworth Barry
and Frank Webb are very good, all
being actors of more than average abl-
lty, making upon the whole a combina-
ton of strong dramatic talent.
Tuesday night the pleasing Irish
cOmedy-drama "kathleen Mavour-
neen" was presented, and many in the
audience considered the performance
better than that of the evening before.
Last night the play was "T'Riss, or
Beyond the Rockies" when the pleas
ing impressions made by the two pre-
vIous entertainments were fully sus-
tanned.
Tonight the attraction will be ''Pyg-
malion and Galatea,' in the presenta-
ton of which the Company is said to
excel, Miss Byno portraying the role Of
"Galatea,' with a delicacy and faith
fulness to every detail Of light and
shade in acting the part which made
Mary Anderson rich and famous, in a
manner that has won for her high en-
1t is the desire of Mr.. Hammond, the
courteous and gentlemanly manager,
that the ladies especially shall attend
this performance, this being DESIGNATED
as their special ''society play The
admission will be as usual, 10, 20 and
80 cents.
The plays presented by this Com
pany are all of high order Of ex-
cellence, we'll staged, correctly inter-
preted and pleasingly presented, and
they deserve liberal patronage. The
engagement extends throughout the
week, with special matinee for ladies
and children Saturday afternoon at 2
O'Clock.

Many times women call on their family
physicians, suffering, as they imagine, one

symptoms caused by some womb disease.
The doctor. ignorant of the cause OF suf-
fering, encourages his practice until large
bills are made. The suffering patient gets
no better. bnt probably worse, by reason of
the delay, wrong treatment and consequen
complications. A proper medicine, like
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, direc-
ted to the cause would have entirely re-
moved the disease, thereby dispelling all
those distressing symptoms. and institu:-
