Lawrence Barlow.

Among the varying styles of negro
mimicry the work of Lawrence Bar
low stands out us Il distinctive crea-
ton in comedy work. His Jokes are
pungent, his repartee quietly droll,
his gestures full of suppressed fun,
and his every action laughable Mr.
BarlOw's style of portrayal belongs
to the modern school, and is particu-
larry pleasing to the fastidious the
ater-goers, from the fact that he
avoids any suggestion of coarSeness
or ''horse-play." In song and story
Mr.. Barlow is a bubbling fount of
clean, sparkling wit and melody.
Feals of laughter invariably follow
his clever salies: his humcr is choice
and piquant, and of a quality which
leaves his audience huugering for
more. As u clean, mirthful artist,
his work leaves nothing to be desired
as he has no superior in his chosen
profession as Il fun maker. Mr. Bar
low is the premier comedian in Bar
low & Wilson's Minstrels, who APP

abeth City Tar Heel of last week, will
be read with interest here:

Why Do You :?

Why do you use kerosene and
smoke your ceiling, curtains and
walls? This is the pertinent question
asked by the Henderson Light and
Power Company in their advertise
ment this week. Come to think OF it
you don't know yourself-only be-
cause YOU have not tried something
else. Electric lights are much better
and frequently cheaper. And once
you have adopted them you will
wonder how you ever got along with
ont them. Like the telephone, water
connection and other modern con-
veniences electric lights are not lux
urv but IA necessity in the home, in
the office, in the factory.

went to see the editor about it, and
the editor showed him few duns of
his own-one for paper, one for type,
one for fuel and several Others.

The old saying that an eide
brain" is the DEVILS work shop
and idle hands his tools" Oh,
how true this saying is. 1t is to
this shop that the tattler goes for
material wherewith to blight some
happy home or attempt to ruin the
character and reputation of their
fellowman, by classifying his good
name, and forever destroying his
bright prospects for the future.
You cannot realize how low down
and contemplate a village tattler
is, until you have seen some of
the results of their tattlers tales.
