OENTRY'S DOG AND PONY SHOW.
The Best Thing of the Kind Ever Seen
in Henderson,.

Never was there a better pleased
audience than that under the canvas
of Prof. Gentrv's Dog and Pony Show
last Thursday. Indeed, it may be
said in truth that the performance
was pleasing surprise to them. The
show was much larger and the work
Of the intelligent little animals was
more marvellous than anticipated.
Gentry is on Snowman who fulfIlS his
promises and more.
The parade was unique, novel and
interesting. one OF the prettiest and
most pleasing street pageants ever
seen here. AS an earnest OF what
might be expected in the performance
the result was the tent packed to its
full seating capacity.
Of the performance it is difficult to
speak. There were so many feature acts
it would be like giving the whole pro-
gram to refer to them individually.
1t was a clean show all the way
through in which dogs, ponies, mon
keys and elephants We'd with each
other in doing the most wonderful
things. There was not poor act
down on the bills. 1t was great
show and was enjoyed by all, old and
young alike.
Tne people connected with the show
were very clever. Manager Davis,
Director Austin, Press Agent Rogers,
Band Master Wack and Mr.. Ferris
are the right men in the right place
and make friends for themselves and
the show of all with whom they come
in contact.
We hope to see these gentlemen
and their splendid amusement attrac-
ton in Henderson again.

The Real Widow Brown.

If warmer NUMBER in the
amusement line has struck Hender-
son than was found in the Real
Widow Brown it was long time
ago. The company is a capable one
not an inferior actor in it-and as
far as the presentation OF the farce
comedy proper is concerned it was
well done. Some of the speciality
acts were rather loud and some of
the jokes most too broad for sensi
tive and refined audience and there
was objection on this score. And it
is pity that an otherwise rich and
enjoyable entertainment should have
been marred in this wa.
As stated above the company is
composed of capable artists. Each
part was well sustained. The imita-
tions of Mr.. Charles Darlington were
very fine while the singing of Miss
Wentworth, who eSsaved the role of
the '.widow." was greatly enjoyed
and encored. The dancing of the
Sisters Dohertv was as good as any
seen an this stage and the speciality
acts of Misses Swiggette and Wolcott
elicted hearty applause. Mr.. Beane
is a capable actor. as were Mr.. King.

"MuCking john Dead.

John Lanier. colored. better known
as 'Mucking John.' died in Durham
recently. whittier he had gone for
hospital treatment after a long sick
ness here. While we should say moth
ing of the dead unless we can speak
in Kindness. the most commendable
trait in Johns character was his in
donlitable pluck and perseverance.
He was full of energy, industrious
and thrifty beyond the average Of his
race. He came to Henderson several
years ago from Danville where it is
said he was one of the ring leaders in
the riot, when several negroes who
were perhaps worth more to the world
did not escape so luckily.

rlr. Shaw in Washington.

From the Washington Progress of
last week we take the following:
ssRev. A. r. Shaw, of Henderson,
arrived Monday and although much
fatigued by the journey, following
upon an unusual press Of ministerial
work on the Sabbath, filled his ap-
pointment at the Presbyterian church.
He preached strong sermon to
Christians, seeking to arouse them to
a sense of their duty, their opportu-
nifty and their privilege. Mr.. Shaw
has been assisting in a revival meet
ing during the week and has done
some excellent and effective preach
ing. He attempts no rhetorical flour
ishes, but with tenderness and SYM
pathy, and intense earnestness, he
presses the truth home to the hearts
of his hearers. With manner pleas
ant impressive, he captures and holds
the attention of his audience, but
manages to hide himself behind the
subject he presents.''
