drews; Plymouth, Old and New, Miss
Mariel Gary; Life and Customs in
the Quaker and Puritan Colonies,

''Graustark" was given to a fairly
good house at the Grand Theatre last
Friday night and was thoroughly en-
jOyed by all who embraced the Op-
portunity of seeing this thrilling play
that has won SO much popularity all
over the country. The almost unan-
imOus verdict was that it was one of
the very best and cleanest shows that
has visited Henderson in quite a
while. The cast is splendid and the
characters are all fine, some of them
exceptionally SO. If "Graustark"
were to come back to this city even
during the present season it would
undoubtedly get a much better house
than it had last Friday night.

management of the company expects
to have q handsome and cOmmOdi-
GUS office.

Iy interested in all that pertains TO

IL good newspaper as one of the great
est agencies in the uplift of humani-
ty; and if it is kept free from the

The Oxford correspondent of the
Greensboro News says that an au-
tomObile party consisting of Hon.
A. l.. Brooks and Captain Fry, of
Greensboro, and Col. Pope, of Allan
ia, was in Oxford last Thursday in
the interest of the proposed railroad

Oxford to Henderson. They are col
lecting accurate statistics in regard
to the amount of freight shipped to
and from the points on the route
and the amount of the staple crops
raised in the territory through which
the road will run. Mr.. Brooks says
that the promoters of the road are
now considering extending it to Will

through three large sections now
without railroad advantages and
give connection with all of the i'm
pOrtant railway systems in the State.
The series OF meetings which has
been in progress at the Methodist
Protestant church for the past ten
days closed last evening. The meet
ing was marked by large attendance
and deep interest at every service.
The pastor, Rev. r. NJ. Andrews, who
did most of the preaching, delivered
some very strong sermons to the
large congregations. He was assist
ed some of the time by Rev. r. c.
Stubbins and Rev. N. G. Bethea, both
of whom are pastors of churches of
that denomination in the communi-
ty. Both of these good men did
some strong and effective preaching
that was highly appreciated. Evan
gelistic singer, Mr.. Charles L. Butler,
and wife were in charge of the song
services during the meeting and their
invaluable work in this capacity was
highly gratifying to the public. The
lecture to the ladies last Sunday
afternoon by Mrs. Butler on the
twentieth Century Woman" was
listened to by large audience and
elected many favorable comments
The results of the meeting have been
highly satisfactory to the faithful
pastor and the church. There we're
quite number of public confessions,
and the general interest was unusual
ly good. The doors of the church
will be opened next Sunday night
for the reception of candidates tor
membership, and a good number of
accessions are expected at that time.
