Arthur Pryor, the trombone soloist

less dubious distinction of having been
the innocent cause of at least two in
cipient theatre panics. AS this Pa
ganini of the slide trombone" as he
was called in Belgium, is perhaps the
most popular instrumentalist IN the
country. the Sousa audiences are ac-
customed TO find his name on all
Sousa programs. and occasionally re-
sent its absence. On the two occasions
mentioned Pryor was not listed for a
solo and his friends in the audiences
loudly called for their favorite. The
sound Of the name Pryor" Pryor"
was mistaken for. by certain tlmid
people, the dread cry of "Firei"
"Firel" and they promptly began to
make for the entrances. Il required all
the coolness and promptness OF Sousa
TO check the panic, which ne did by
having the band play "The Star Span
gled Banner and Yankee Doodle"
Pryor will be one of the principal solo
lists at the Sousa concert to be given
on Saturday night, February 1. at the
Grand Opera House. The great Sousa
Band and it's popular conductor
achieved the greatest success ever
known in England during their recent

A SUSTAINING DIET.

These are the eneryating days, when, as
somebody said, men drop by the sunstroke
as il the day of fire had dawned. They
are fraught with danger to people whose

leads us to say, In the interest OF the less
robust Of our readers, that the full effect
of Hoods Sarsaparilla is such as to sug.
gest the propriety of calling this medl.
cine something besides a blood purifier
and tonic,-say, a sustaining diet. Il

assures refreshing sleep, and will without
any doubt avert much sickness at thil

Work has begun 10 earnest on our
new p%ostofice building. II will be
occupied Oh the first Of November.
1t will be two stories high and the
upper floor win be very desirable as
Office rooms. The new building will
be a valuable improvement, and we
hope Mr.. Taubman will soon conclude
to put up two more nice buildings,
and fill the gap. Those lots are too
valuable to remain vacant.
Now that our people have become
interested 10 the Wellington road,
and in good roads and good streets
generally, we hope the move in that
direction will not be permitted to die
out. We may expect good roads to
cost US something, but bad roads cost
US more, Poor streets are the worst
advertising a town can have. Let's
have good streets, smooth sidewalks
and clean grassy lawns.
The lawn social given Thursday
night by the ladies OF the Catholic
church at Killian Longs was a sue
cess, both financially and socially.
A large crowd of people were present
both from Lexington and the gsur-
rounding country. The social held

disposed Of. A large sum Of money
was taken in and the ladies are per-
fectly satisfied with the result OF
their efforts.
Lexington has no boom, but there
is not a good residence in the city
that is vacant; but there are half q

are being made, and a few new house
are being erected. It is a steady
slow growth, that does not attrac
