Charlie Herbert, Negro man aged
about 25 years, died in the county Jail
yesterday morning from causes which
have not at this writing been deter
mined. The Negro was lying about
the streets of Yorkville Monday, ap-
parently drunk, and Chief of Police
Love locked him in the calaboose.
When he was turned out yesterday
morning he went off and lay down by
the roadside. The officers subsequent
ly picked him up and took him to the
Jail with view to making him more
comfortable. Physicians were sent
for; but the Negro died within short
time after their arrival.
The Charlotte Observer, of Sunday,
tells of the performance of Faust by
the Labadie company on Saturday
night. The company had a fairly
good audience only, and The Observer
attributes the small attendance largely
to the growing observance of Lent.

south than was the case few years
back. Many people here attributed
the smallness of the company's audi
ence at this place TO the same cause.
According to The Observer, MIR. Laba-
die has decided to 60 to Raleigh and
remain there until the expiration of
Lent, before attempting another per-
formance.

ioyable occasion. Many children of
the town participated in the event last
year, and they will, of course, be well
come to participate next Saturday.
Each of the participants will be expec-
ted to contribute small sum-about
,ents-for the privilege. All the pro-
,eeds, however, will 20 to the church.
Some very pretty prizes have been
prepared for those who shall prove to
be the best hunters.
