Gave a Good Show.

The Rabbits Foot Comedy Com
pany filled their engagement Mon
day night and gave a good show.
They had a large crowd despite the
rain and everybody seemed well
pleased with the performance which
was given under the canvas. In
some of it's features the company is
stronger than when it was here last
fall. Howe and Davis are great
comedians and fun makers. The
singing was fine, the dancing good,
the jokes amusing and the whole
show throughout creditable and en-
joyable. The best feature on the
bill perhaps was the least appreci-
ated, and that was the vocal sOloist
IA female with a voice of wonderful
beauty and sweetness and highly
cultivated. Good order was oberved
and the conduct of management and
performers alike was polite, cour-
teous, business like and praise
worthy. The company is composed
entirely of colored people.

Binqham School. AsheviIIe, N. C..

We are in receipt of The Bingham
School Catalogue for it's 111th year,
the best year financially in its histo-

Carolina contingent it has attracted
more than 40 pupils from outside
of the State, representing an area
which reaches from Connecticut and
Nebraska through Florida and
Texas, Mexico City and Tehuantepec,
to British Honduras; and we note
also that it is refusing pupils instead
of increasing it's accommodations.
We congratulate Col. Bingham that
the success of the School is even
greater at Asheville than it was in

as one of the leading preparatory
and finishing schools in the State.
