"SIDE TRACKED"
An Entertaining Diversity Promised
Next Monday Might.

Next Monday Night.
Side Tracked" contains enough
entertaining diversity to keep an
audience in continual hilarity, and
runs the gamut of sensation, farce.
melodrama and variety. A murder is
committed, theatrical company ar
rive and give part of an entertain
ment at railroad station, q pretty
lunch-counter girl falls in love with a
tramp who eventually becomes as at
tractive alover as any girl could wish.
Pretty girls sing and dance themselves
into popularity, and ''Side Tracked"
moves along without a dull moment,
with the soubrette and tramp in the
lead. Sensational climaxes are found
in the scenes Of railroad contrivances.
The tramp's first appearance is
from the doors of passing freight
car, and later he is seen riding on the
cowcatcher of an engine as it dashes
across the stage. A funny Irish police
man and laborer manage to extract
great fun from their posts. The med
leys and dances are well arranged,
and the show in its entirety is most
entertaining.
The company number some clever
performers, chief among whom are
E. H. O'Connor, Gertrude Barnes,
Cecilie Lorraine and Mat Schaefer.
All special scenery is used for the
play.-Exchange.

Mr.. Nj. V. Richards, land and in
dustrial agent of the Southern Rail-
way, Washington, d. c., spent few
hours in Henderson Tuesday. We
regret that he could not stay longer
and see more of our town, its in
dustries and opportunities, and learn
more about our section, its resources
and advantages. He could have spent
the time most pleasantly as we'll as
profitably, we think in studying the
present conditions and future pos
sibilities of the community in man
ufacturing, agriculture, stock raising.

with which to make the columns of

merely stopping en- route to meet an
important engagement elsewhere.
Mr.. Richards was accompanied by
Mr.. J. M. Holden, of Montana, who
was being shown the country around
Henderson. This is Mr.. Holden's first
visit South and he expressed himself
as much pleased with his observations

NEGRO ROAD OvERsEERs.
Why Two Were Appointed in klttreII
Township.

K1rTRELL, n. c., Feb. 10, 1900.
Adverse comment has been made
upon the appointment of two negro
road overseers in this township. l
have made inquiry and find that ne
groes were appointed for the very
simple reason that no white man Of
road working age lives on either Of
the roads in question. And owing to
the circumstances of the case no
white man from elsewhere could be
assigned to either Of these duties
without working some degree of I'M
necessary hardship upon them. But
care was taken to provide that should
a white man at any time move upon
either of the roads, that he shall be
made overseer or if unfit to discharge
such duties, then assigned to some
other road.

A Very Pleasant Meeting of the
noZart Club.

On Friday evening the Mozart Club
held its monthly meeting in Miss
Averett's music room. The program
was the most elaborate that has yet
been given The instrumental num-
bers, including difficult selections
from Chopin. List, Verdi, Wagner,
&c. were rendered in manner
noticeable for great improvement in
technique and Interpretation. Good
technique is of the very highest inn
portance. of course; but equally
essential to artistic performance is an
intelligent conception of the COM
poser's motives. No merely mechani-
cal performer could do justice to the
wonderful tone coloring of Wagner's
Spinning Song" The local solos
were very sweetly sung and were
much enjoyed.
The next meeting of the Club will
take place the evening of March 10th.

They Filled the Bill.

The Isl Plunkard" company did
not claim any greater merit than fun
makers and laugh provokers, and in
this they succeeded very well at
Cooper Opera House last Thursday
evening. There is neither plot nor
moral in the play it being constructed
on the order of ''Old Farmer Hop
kins" and similar farce comedies.
But it afforded opportunity for lot
of specially work and in the main it
was enjoyable.
To the average person, however,
there was most too much horse play
and barn storming about it, and but
for the music and two or three of the
performers Isl Plunkard" would have
proven a cold number. But the music
was good-above the average-so
was the Dutchman and the little SOU
brette. They saved the day-or night
-and:the audience felt that they had
got their moneys worth perhaps.

Horatie Xerxes Booth, is born fun
maker; he is possessed of an excellent
voice and his singing and dancing to-
gether with his general goog humer
make him a general favorite and
keeps an audience in the best of spir-

Gertrude de Barnes, a charming little
soubrettc, who follows the rapid lead
of her principal and sometimes almost
passes him in popular favor. The
play abounds in the latest catchy
songs, trios, duets, medleys, etc.

Held up and Robbed by Negroes.

Capt. J. J. Laughinghouse, the
largest planter of Pitt county, was
held up and robbed on the public
highway between Greenville and his
home, some miles distant, last Fri
day morning. He went to town the
day before and sold large quantity
of tobacco. Staying over night he
started back home next morning
about $50 o'clock When crossing
the swamps seven miles from town,
four negroes sprang from the bushes
and assaulted him. They were armed
with an axe and pistols and demanded
his money. Obtaining this, they fled
without doing him bodily harm.
Capt. Laughinghouse had on his
person at the time $500 in cash and
5000 in Norfolk exchange.
Although diligent search has been
made for the robbers and an attempt
was made to run them down with
blood hounds, up to the present time
they have not been apprehended.
Capt. Laughinghouse is we'll known
in Henderson having been liberal
patron and frequent visitor to this
market some years ago.

Back From Texas,

Col. Burgwyn has returned from
Texas where he has been a month or
more on business for the government
in connection with the National banks.
He talks entertainingly about that
country but says it does not begin to
compare with ours. North Carolina
possesses many and superior advan-
tages and yet most people think
Texas is away ahead of US. The
Colonel has promised to give us his
impressions of the country, the eli
mate, resources, products, &C., in
contrast to those of North Carolina
and show wherein we live in a more
favored land with greater opportuni-
ties and advantages far superior;
where the rewards Of labor are surer;
where investments are safer and
property more secure; where living is
easier and happiness and contentment
are or should be supreme.
