CONCERT TOUR OF ORPHANS.
Chapter of Children from Oxford Asy-
Ium to Tour a Portion of the State.

Chapter of Children from Oxford Asy-
Ium to Tour a Portion of the State.
The following is sent us by Super
intendent Hicks of the Oxford Or
phanage with request to publish:
On May 10th the singing class Of the
Oxford Orphan Asylum will enter upon
a tour of the eastern section OF North
Carolina Concerts will be given in our
various towns and cities, usually upon
invitations and under auspices OF the
local Masonic lodges. After an interval
OF several weeks spent at Oxford the
children will begin about the middle OF
July, a tour of the western part of the
State.
Ten girls, six boys and lady and
gentleman compose the party. The
character of these concerts is known.
The pure, bright, humorous programme
we'll rendered by the boys and girls
makes an unusually attractive enter
tainment worth, in itself, far more than
the admission fee charged. The cause
in the interest of which the concerts are
given is deservedly claiming more and
more of the love and support of our peo-
pie.
As stated in the past the purpose Of
these tours is to afford pleasure and
benefit to our people, to impress upon
them even more strongly the prime i'm
-portance OF child-saving, child-training
effort, to secure even their heartier sup
port for the orphan cause, and to raise
funds to aiG in the maintenance of the
Oxford Orphan Asylum. This institu-
ton is now caring for $50 of the home
less boys and girls of the State. Its bene-
fits are not restricted to the children of
Masons. Since it's establishment in 1872
nearly 1890 boys and girls have been
under its protection, care and training.
The children's concerts grow in favor
and our good people are reader to aid
the cause each year. Last year the tours
were more successful in every respect
than ever before. May they be even more
successful and valuable this year. We
bespeak for them the very heartiest sup
port of all our people.
