The Nashville Students Big Minstrels
that appear at the Academy of Music
on Saturday night this week is one OF
that type of genuine negro entertain
ments in which the object is to intro
duce good singing, fine dancing, broad
jokes, sparkling specialties, and plenty
of commotion and in this they do not
fail to succeed. They will, without
doubt, draw the traditional large au-
dience of which their kind of an enter
tainment always brings to a playhouse.
There is one thing they can be greatly
complimented on, that is their beauti-
full costumes worn by members in their
opening first part, with the latest ideas
and the many new things mixed in,
making this entertainment strictly up
to-date and worthy of success. All
should attend.

He said he had enough of the East.
thank you, and was going back to the
wild, woolly West, which in his esti-
nation, was more civilized and home
like than anything he saw east of the
Mississippi river. We all agree with
him there"

John Warden, a colored barber, hap
pened into town last week and secured
employment at ST. Vaughn's. Warden
attended TO his work and behaved him
self until Tuesday evening when he
went out on lark. That night, after
81. had closed the shop, Warden re-
turned, got grip, several razors, a
suit of clothes and various other arti-
Giles, and skipped out. ST. was sus-
pcious the barber would play some
such trick and got over to the shop
before six o'clock Wednesday morning.
He discovered that the above mention
ed articles were missing and went to
the depot TO look for Warden when he
learned from the night man that he
had boarded a north-bound train. The
culprit was located at Bismarck and
so were the stolen razors and other
articles. Constable Marshall went to
Bismarck and returned that evening
with the prisoner. Warden tries to
defend himself by saying he got drunk
and hardly knew what he was doing.
He will have a hearing before Squire
Fairchild to-day.
Mrs. Henry Hitzemann in Graniteville,
Mo-, on Friday, March 10, 1900, Mrs.
Mary Myers, aged 60 years and ten
months. Mary Shower was born in
Bloomfield, Pa. Ia 1851 at Centreviile,
Pa, she was united in marriage to Mr. |
Henry Myers. OF this union there are
five children-Peter, who lives at Cum |
berland, Pa, Rebecca, in North Caro- |
lima, Robert and John in Texas, and |
Mrs. HitZemann at Graniteville. Mrs. |
Myers last illness was long and pain |
full, indeed. About six months ago
she suffered stroke of paralysis from |
which she never recovered. From |
that she was confined to her room and |
bore her sufferings with patience and |
fortitude. A faithful and devoted wife, |
kind and loving mother, the place |
made vacant by her death can never
be filed. After life's weary struggle |
she is at peace, and the stricken hus-
band and children and many friends
will long revere her memory. The |
funeral occurred from the Presby-
teriau church in Ironton on Sun
day afternoon and the remains were
inferred in the Masonic cemetery. To
the bereaved family the REGISTER ex-
tends assurance Of sympathy in their
affection
