Special Grand Concert.

The concert in the Auditorium OF
the Normal School last Monday even
ing by the Special Grand Concert Com
pany of the Ithaca Conservatory Of
Music was Of a high order The per-
sonnet was as follows:
Madge a. Rogers, Reader Winfred
Fuller, Mezzo Soprano; Lillian A..
Cropper, Violinist; Leila Hulslander'
Pianist.
Each number was well rendered.
Miss Hulslander showed herself at
ease both her solo playing, and
as an acccompanist. A delicate
touch with a firm, clear, technic mark
ed her style.
Miss Fuller is a vocalist Of ability.
She is endowed with a beautiful voice
of unusual range, the low notes being
full and pure; the high notes clear
and sweet. Her singing was charac-
terized by sincerity and simplicity Of
expression.
Miss Choppers Interpretation was
sympathetic and intelligent. Her
rendering Of the "Reverie' by Reb-
field, especially brought out the power
of the violin in the hands ola virtuoso.
Miss Rogers, the Reader, is one Of
the instructors in the Ithaca School Of
Expression and Dramatic Art. The
most of her selections wereof humor-
Gus nature, adding variety to the pro-
gramme, and greatly pleasing the
audience.
1t was through the efforts Of Miss
Mary Virginia Blandy, principal Of
the Kindergarten Department Of the
Normal School, that the community
had the pleasure of hearing these re-
presentatives of the Ithaca Conserva-
tory. The proceeds Of this en- ertain-
ment are for the Public Library.

MAILMAN or DrIYeNay- RhICh T.?

Editor Her0id.-It is rumored That
the Council of the town is consid ring
the question of taking up the present
paving stones on the Main street
driveway and replacing them with
some other paving material at cost Of
$4,000 or $4,000.
To not a few of our citizens and tax
payer, who pod through mud ankle
deep two or more times day, picking
their way over unpaved side walks,
the question assumes seriousness.
40 town Of our size in the state Of
Virginia has less length Of paving
reaching to individual houses within
the corporate limits. Main street is
in no very bad plight and can wait
a while. Property would enhance in
value i'm residential sections with "a
dry walk to each mans door and be
lated visitor might be spared profanity
and wet feet

Charlie Earl Escapes Jail.

Charlie Earl, the young white man
serving sentence of sixty days in the
county jail of Prince Edward, made
his escape from that institution last
Tuesday. II was done in the b-oad
day light, and from the front part of
the building. Jailor Chick had but a
short while before served breakfast 10
the prisoners, and when he left the Jail
thought that Earl was safe in the new
steel cell. But the iailor had failed to
lock the outer door to the cell, and
Earl seized the opportunity of coming
out into the room. The room door
was securely locked on the outside so
the prisoner hastily cut his way
through the thin ceiling and crawled
between the rafters and joists TO a
wooden ycntilator i'm the gable. This
yentilatOr had already hole in il as
large as a man, negro having just
the day before excaped through IT,
Earl used "a blanket To let himself
down to within ten or twelve feet Of
the ground From there he jumped
and skidooed.
lie said he was from California and
was ON his way to Jamestown TO at
tend the Exposition.
Wednesday a phone message came
TO Farmville from the chief of pc ice
at Petersburg saying tnat Earl was
there underarrest lie wasrecognized
from a photograph which had been
sent 90 the Petersburg police by Chief
FOCUS soon after his arrest in Farm
willie. At the time of his arrest We'd
ne,day Earl was i'm the postollice en-
quirng for mi, brothers mail, the lat
ter having recently fled the Cockade
city after "nim-haming' its citizens
ion the same manner Charlie had done

that ne wa. the man wanted, but
when his Photograph was flashed he
admitted il wa a good Likeness Of
himself He was held until the arri-
val of Chief Fogu, Wednesday night
and was returned TO Prince Edward
Jail An additional Jail sentence will
likely be imposed upon the charge Of
Jail breaking.
