A Most Unique Entertainment.

Monday night Rev. S. F. Conrad, of
Charlotte, gave a most unique and
highly enjoyable entertainment in Pitt
man hall with the new Ldlson phono-
graph.
For the most part the public is pre-
JUDGED against photograph entertain
ments and tie like, and justly so, fer
they are gene ally a cheat; but Mr..
Conrad's entertainment was really en-
joyable. It was reproduction from
the photograph of concert songs, reclt-
ations, orchestra, solos and the like.
The machine is loud and strong and the
reproductions were clearly audible all.

tinct and all told it was n usical treat
One of the wonders Of the age--the re-
production Of word and tone of those
who may be thousand miles away.
Mr.. Conrad is holding concerts to
raise money with which to pay off a
church debt, and his proceeds in Scot
land Neck were more than $50.

A Strong Lecture.

Rev. J. R Vaughan, of Asheville,
temperance lecturer and author Of
temperance literature, lectured in the
Baptist church here Sunday nigh
There were no services in the Method
list church, and the Methodist pastor
and congregation worshiped in the
Baptist church.
Mr.. Vaughan spoke rapidly for an
Tour and twenty minutes, and held the
closest al tention of his audience. His
lecture dealt somewhat in statistics,
and was emphasized with apt lliustYa-
tiols. His structures on church men,
bers who rent buildings to saloon-kcep-
ers and otherwise encourage the liquor
evil, were particularly emphatic. His
,d,ence enjoyed the great lecture, and
it was remarked around that it would
do great good.

Cash in Abundance,

A prominent lawyer here last week
said: During the past two months l
have written more deeds for cash trans
actions on real estate than during the
whole twenty years past"
This does not mean that he has done
more work in two months than in
twenty We ,rs but that TO mel when l. e
wrote deeds for real estate the money
was not passed, but the property was
bought con time," and now when he
writes deed the cash, is paid for tie
property.
ALI this indicates that money Is easy

Grand Jury's Repo IT.
FRIEND.

The grand jury for the Criminal
court last week made the following re-
port to the court
eve have examined the court house
and find that the cutters around the
house are defective and need repairing,
and we recommend that the same be
doue. We also recommend that some
changes be made in the court room 60
that seats may be provided for witness
es and other citizens who attend court
We recommend that some provision
be made for the comfort of witnesses
summoned to appear before the grand
jury while waiting to be called. The
grand jury visited the jail In a body,
and find that it is kept as we'll, and
everything is in as good condition, as
possible under the circumstances. The
Jail is kept comfortable, and the prls-
oners haye no complaint to make
about food, and we find the jailer, Mr..
Hale, a thoroughly efficient officer.
We find the following repairs needed
and recommend the same: Q) That
the cutters be repaired around the
whole building. (2) That the roof
which is damaged in one place be re-
paired at once.
1.-THE committee appointed to visit
the county home report that they find
everything IN good condition, except
the following, which they recommend
be attended to at once:
Cd The floor of the kitchen is in bad
condition.
(2) The floors of two other buildings
need repairing.
(3) Several window glasses are brok-
en- out and ought to be replaced.
az A few of the invalids need more
covering for their beds.
THE management Of the home is
first-class In every respect, and the In
mates are loud in their praise of the
for his kind treatm ent
and consideration of them in every way

Little Addie the Infant child of Mr..
and Mrs. N. G. Dickens, died at he,
home near Scotland Neck, Wed.
nesday night, January 81, 1900, at the
the age of one year, eleven months and
two weeks. At Deep Greek burying
ground, we laid her cold form to rest
Little Addie had been a great sufferer.
having been sick more or less all her
life. Her death, though sad, is not a
calamity, in infinite love and mercy
God stopped down and took her blessed
spirit to dwell with him where there Is
no more sickness, no more sorrow, no
more death.
"She died before her infant soul
Had eyer burned with wrong desires ;
Had eyer spurned at heavens control,
Or ever quenched its sacred fires"
She had lived long enough to know
what it was to suffer, but she had only
tasted the bitter cup of lie.
Fond parents, would you have her
come back to this dark world 80 full of
trouble, while the angles are shouting
her glad welcome to the joys that
shall never die, and while the blessed
Saviour stands ready to receive her
with his arms of love and rest her
weary little head on his bosom? May
the God of all comfort send His recon-
Cling power to the grlet-stricken family
and may they soon be able to say, @Thy
will, O Lord, not mine be DONE"

One of the most Responsible positions
in the practical management of the
United States Navy is the Paymaster's
Office. Only men of great executive and
clerical ability can fill such a position.
Such man is the Hon. William A. Col
Ner, Assistant Paymaster of the United
States Navy. In a recent letter of his
to Dr.. Hartman he says:
WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. %, 1899.
I have taken Pc ru-na and take pleas

first-class tonic, feeling assured that it
will do all that is claimed for it.

IN remitting for past dues and paying

Gil will be set against some names on
our mailing list if they do not make
some remittance by 10Th Of this month.
That is to say, some persons who are
now getting THE COMMONWEALTH will
get it only one more time after this
week unless they pay up arrears or
make some arrangement about IL. In
stead of shortening our list we would
much prefer to lengthen it, but we
cannot run paper without pay for it.
1t therefore becomes business necessi-
ty to have some money from our delin-
quents who are farthest behind, Or dis.
continue their paper.
We realize the fact that some
persons who have been getting
the paper some time without
paying may not like it for their names
to be dropped. We do desire the good
will OF our readers as much as anything
we could name. We have done our best
for years to merit it, but we can't go 1t
all the time on good will. We must
have some pay for our work. Every
thing connected with our business has
grown more costly to us and to some OF
our readers who are getting too far be-
hind we cannot send the paper longer
without some pay. We wish all we'll
but we need the money due US.
Let us hear from you, delinquents.
