Praised by The Press.

The Georgetown Times says this of
the minstral company to appear at
Cooper Opera House Tuesday evening:
The Great Southern Minstrels, an
aggregation of colored artists under
white management, gave a perfor-
nance at the Opera House last night
which has never been equaled here
before. The music was exceptionally
good under the leadership of Prof.
John Myers. The Capitol City Quar-
tette is undoubtedly the best male
quartette ever heard here. They re-
ceived double encore and two cur
tain calls.
The cake walk was the greatest
thing of it's kind ever seen in George
town.
John Simons' rendition of "You
Can't Repay Your Mother" was fine,
while the Basso Joe Jones fairly
ratified the windows with his voice.
The end men were all clever and
the farcical sketches were clean and
very funny. In fact the whole show
was above reDrOach

PROF. J. T. ALDERMAN.
Henderson's Good Fortune In Securing
the Services of so Good q nan.

Henderson people especially, and
the Baptis.s of North Carolina in
general, are to be congratulated upon
the election # Prof. j. I. Alderman
to the SUPPLEMENTARY of the graded
school at Henderson. If they get
him they will have the good fortune
to begin their school with an educa-
tor of the first standing, experienced
and talented. He will prove an ad
dition to our work as a denomination
locally and generally and also to the
forces of education in North Caro-
lima. Biblical Recorder.
We have pleasure in saying that
Prof. Alderman has accepted. At
the time it was announced last week
that Superintendent had been
elected we were not in position to
give the gentleman's name for rea-
sons stated below.
Prof. Alderman was not an appli-
cant for the place and while it was
understood that he would accept if
elected it was not known positively
that he would be released from his
engagement in Columbus, to which
position he had just been reelected.
And being an honorable man he
could do nothing that was not per-
fectly consistent and satisfactory to
his people there.
Hence the delay in officially max
ing public the choice of the Board.
And that they have chosen wisely
and well we are entirely confident
Prof. Alderman's conduct of the
school will abundantly demonstrate.
The Trustees are to be congratulated
for fortunate indeed is Henderson in
securing the services of so capable
and experienced man at the head of
her graded school.
