The rlozart Club Entertained by Mrs.
Julia Branch Thomas.

Inc PHEASANT cllulaA 10 inc series
of Club meetings, extending from
October to June, was the soiree at
Mrs. Thomas on last Thursday eve
ming. A lovely, moonlit night, a
cordial greeting from the hostess
and her daughters; pretty, brilliantly
lighted rooms, the light from candel-
abra and banquet lamps shimmering
down upon graceful, girlish figures
and bright young faces-no accessory
was wanted to complete the happi-
ness of the hour.
We felt her charm,
She leaned so near.
This lovely spirit;
We caught the radiance of her smile,
And owned the sway of music.
Each number of the program was
admirably rendered. The performers
appreciated the courteous attention
and the interest, so evidently sincere,
of the audience. At the conclusion
of the program, Miss Averett ad-
dressed her pupils in a few words of
praise for their faithful work and en-
enlargement to still greater effort
and higher ambition along musical
lines. And then sounded-aot the
dread tocsin of Wdr but the inviting
tinkle of silver and glass; and easy
and graceful was the transition from
List, Wagner &C., to the discussion
of delicious creams, fruit ices and
other CONNECTIONS, elegantly and
abundantly served. The pleasure of
the evening was greatly enhanced by
Mrs. Watson's beautiful singing.
Her voice is no less exquisite than
when she last sang to a Henderson
audience. DR.. Cheatham and Mr..
Rowland were welcomed by the Club,
who much enjoyed the bri ght music
they play so we'll.
10 Mrs. Thomas the members prof
fer sincere thanks for a very delight
full evening.

Three train loads of Virginia vol
unteer troops passed through Sunday
afternoon en- route to Jacksonville,
Fla. Among the soldiers were many
who were well known in Henderson.
There were two companies from Nor
folk, two from Danville, two from
Suffolk. one from Franklin. Peters
burg, Richmond, etc. Mr.. and Mrs.
Will Griffin had brother each in the
Petersburg company.
There were three young gentlemen
along who were married Just on the
eve of their departure from Rich
mond. These were Mr.. P. Blair
Wilson, of Smithfield, who married
Miss Mallory Shield, of Hampton;
Mr.. Kenneth B. Mcleod, of Suffolk,
and Miss Lille Dennis, of the same
place; Mr. Luther w. Caulk, of Suf-
folk, and Miss Stella Frawner, of
Richmond.
Miss Shield visited in Henderson
last summer and has many acquaint-
ances and friends here. Mr.. Mcleod
is son of Mr.. W. l.. Mcleod, of the
Suffolk Herald, and is quartermaster
of Company F.. Fourth Regiment.
The soldiers were in fine spirits and
right jolly crowd of "boys" they
are. They were given a cordial re-
ception in Henderson. One of them
Mr.. S. X: Collier, of Company H.,
(Richmond Blues) Fourth Regiment,
carried away mascot in the shape
of small 'yaller dorg'' given him
by Mr.. John D. Cooper. The young
soldier, who by the way is nephew
of Hon. Charles F. Collier, for many
years Mayor of Petersburg, was much
elated over his new pet which he
christened Henderson" and prom
ised to carry him to Cuba with the
Regiment, feed him on Spaniards and
other delicacies Of the season and re-
port occasionly to Mr.. Cooper as to
how he was getting along. Mr.. Col
lier's friend G. H. Snead, of Rich
mond, claimed an interest in Hen
derson" and said he would see to it
| thas he Jared as well as the soldiers.

An Armenian Preacher.

Rev. X. H. Basmajian, native
Armenian, preached in the Baptist
church Sunday night, his subject
being 1.-The Crescent against the
Cross" He was heard by a large
congregation many members of other
churches being present.
Monday night at the same place
Mr.. Basmajian gave an illustrated
lecture descriptive of the customs
and habits of the Armenians and
Turks which was both edifying and
instructive. He also showed scenes
of Armenians put to death in Ar
menia and Constantinople-a horrible
picture of which we have all read
much He sang in Armenian, Turk
ish, Greek and English, his sweet
and sympathetic voice according we'll
with the numbers selected.
At the Presbyterian church Sunday
morning during the Sunday-School
hour Mr.. Basmajian was present and
spoke few words to the children.
He also sang for them in his native
tongue.
MIR. Basmajian is regularly or
dained minister of the Baptist church
and has been for years engaged in
missionary work among his people.
His home at present is in Boston,
Mass. He speaks English well and
we found him an engaging, intelli-
gent and well informed gentleman
with whom it wos a pleasure to con-
verse. He says he hopes to pay Hen
the coming year.

The Will Sustained

Next to the murder case the most
important one that came up for trial
last week was the suit brought by
II. H. Burwell to break the will of
Mrs Susan c. Burwell, his mother.
Many of our readers are familiar with
this case already and there is no
necessity for going into details. The
case was ably argued on both sides,
+. T. Hicks, L. NJ. Pittmann and A.
j. Harris appearing for the pro-
Founders of the will, j. S. and Sam :
uel Burwell, and Capt. w. b. Shaw
and j. H. Bridgers for the caveator,
II. II. Burwell. The jury was out
only a few minutes when verdict
sustaining the will was brought in.

Hays Acquitted.
In the case of the State against
Robert Hays tried at last weeks term
of court, the defendant was acquitted
on the ground of self-defense. Hays
it will be recalled was charged with
killing Joseph Dement, about seven
years ago, after which he ran away
and eluded apprehension until about
six weeks ago. 1t developed at the
trial that Hays struck Dement, with
rock while the latter was in the act
of cutting him with knife-in fact
he had cut his clothing to pieces and
was still pursuing him when the fatal
blow was stricken. Dement, lived
several days after he was hit on the
head with the rock.
Hays ran away through being lilly
advised He was nothing hut a boy
being only about II years old at the
time, and thinking the best thing fol
him to do was to leave the country
he did so.

Home Again After a Long Absence

We were glad to receive a visit yes
terday from our staunch old friend
Capt. w. o. Bobbitt, of Granville,
whose pleasant features we had not
looked upon in nearly two years.
Fall before last the Captain went out
to Arkansas to visit relatives and he
liked SO we'll that he remained in
that State and Tennessee until about
six weeks ago, when he returned to
his native State much to the graft
tication Of his friends. He is looking
we'll and his Democracy is of the
same sturdy and untarnished quality
it has always been.

Miss Ellie Hawkins. Of Morgan
town, is visiting at J " JohnsUn,s.
The festival at Millcrsport, for

That place, proved a success. Every.
thing passed Off nicely and the
people went home well pleased with
the evenings entertainments.
MIR. and Mrs. Clarence Freeland

Monday.
Mr.. and Mrs. Rechtine, of Tun-

The people at Bethlehem and vi.
cinity expect to organize singing
class at that place in the near flu
ture, and employ c.. A. Federer as

he has been teaching music for
seventeen years, and is well quill.
fed for the position.
The weather has been very un-
favorable for farmers the past week,
and oats is badly damaged on ac-
count Of the heavy rains.
We are informed by good author
ity that Il short time ago three
headless persons were seen at the
old Turner house near here. 1t
seems as il they disappeared MS
mysleriously as they came. This
has been a noted place for many
years where ghosts and hobgoblins
have been seen in different shapes
about the old dilapidated house,
and many rumors have been con-
| lectured as to the cause OF these
apparitions, but we shall leave the
readers to draw his own conclusion.
a gentleman living on IIuckle-
berry Ridge was telling about
dream he bad the OIL her night. lie
SAID he dreamed that he went into
the woods near his house and dis
covered bees working very nicely in
IA Tree, and his desire was to save
hem. So be cut down the tree.
sawed off the part IN which the
bees were working, brought it to
the house and put 1t in suitable
place, and then waited TO see them
begin work. They soon made their
appearance, but instead of bees,
they proved to be the large winged
anlemire. He finally aroused from
hls slumber and found himself w.
ing on the floor surrounded by bed
bugs. JENNIE MAY.
