give, as only they can give. true pic

Southern plantation. They are assisted
in their performance by quartette of
genuine Virginia negroes, who sing the
oldtime songs jus. as they used to sing
them around their cabin doors at even
ing or at The corn huskings," or in the
cotton fields in the days of long ago. One
critic has said OF this quartette of ne
groes: They look like farm hands and
sing like Carusos." This is the most
unique performance ever presented on
any stage or platform and can never be
duplicated. Ii is as entertaining and

Business Mems Club.

The regular meeting of the Business
Mems Club was held at the court house
on Tuesday night, February 3. it was
an open meeting and many of our enter
prising citizens, not mem berS of the
Club, were present and took part in the
discussions. Meeting was called TO order
by PRECEDENT g. +. Higgins. who stated
that the principal business TO be at
tended to was the discussion of the
freight rates into and out of Richmond
as compared with neighboring towns
and towns similarly situated. Judge
Jennings Greenleaf presented the condi-
tions as his committee had found them.
and stated that it had been the custom
and the wisest policy of other towns in
going into this matter TO employ rate
expert, who was capable OF producing
and making exhibits of comparison rates.
Mr.. j. Henry Ramsey, representing the
Louisville Traffic Bureau, was then in
troduced and he made it very plain that
Richmond was being Disseminated
against as compared with rates to other
points. He said the rates as general
rule had been in effect since 1886, which
is 20 years, and that they would remain
in effect another % years unless the

up, as it was the policy of the Railroad
Company to give consideration only
when compelled TO, and said that it was
perfectly natural for the Railroad Com
pany TO keep the high rates in effect as
long as no one kicked or kicked in
way that could be felt. Cooperation
on the part of the freight paying people
of a community was necessary 10 bring
this matter before the Interstate Com
merce Commission. To do this, it will
take some money, and the committee in
charge of this work of Club has decided
that the apportionment plan is the best
way. They will meet and try to lay out
a plan so as make it as light as possible
on all and as near equitable as possible.
When this committee calls on you, do
your part by paying them the amount
they ee Ike you S h gu d {.
and, if this rate reduction is carried
through as successfully as il has been at
other places, the little amount the com
mittee will ask you for. will be saved in
a few months time What other mat
ters do you know of where you can get
such big returns for such a small
amount? Don't say, What are you peo
pie doing in the Club?" but say. II AN

Two Old COnfederateS.'

Civil War veterans. both Confederate
and Union, will be admitted free OF
charge with seats on the stage at the
performance by the Two Old Confed-
crates and Polk Miller's Old South Quar-
tette to be given in Caldwell High School
on February l3, at p. m.
The Two Old Confederates are Capt
Tony Miller, brother of Polk Miller, and
Col. Tom Booker, both of them from
Richmond, Va, and famous as banjo
players aud entertainers.
Both Captain Miller and his capable
comrade, Col. Tom Booker, are veterans
of the Civil War. and they have in every
city visited thus far reserved for them
selves the privilege and pleasure of gath
ering around them on the stage the old
soldiers with whom they shared many
hardships. AS we'll as those whom they
opposed. in the days of long ago. The
invitation has beel promptly and enthu-
siassically accepted everywhere, and no
portion of the audiences has been more
keenly appreciative than that composed
of the men who have lived through many
of the scenes so wittily described by
THE Two Old Confederates." To the
remainder of those present the manifest
enjoyment by the gray-haired veterans
of the songs and stories carrying them
back to their childhood days, adds an
additional interest to the entertain menl

he and Mr.. E +. Mitchell. under the
firm name of Covingtou & Mitchell, ,
founded the business. Four years later.
in the fall OF 1892. Mr.. Mitchell disposed
of his interest to Mr.. Covington and went
West. Returning in Jan, 1894, he re-
purchased the interest he had sold to
Mr.. Covington The firm then contin-
ued as Covington & Mitchell until the
death of the latter, Dec. 2. 1899. After
winding up the business of the firm, Mr..
Covington again took over the Mitchell
interest and on Jan. l, 1901, sold half
interest to Ben L. Banks and the firm
became Covington & Banks and so re-
manned until Monday last. when Mr..
Covington bought from the Banks heirs
their interest and again became sole
owner. In the % years Mr.. Covington
has al ways been the head of the house
and shaped its business policy. His pol
icy has always been TO keep a complete
stock in every department and to sell as
low as consistent with good business
judgment. The idea being large sales
and small profits, rather than small sales
ID large profits. One feature he has
always insisted upon has been lone
price," no jewing, no cutting, except
when ''cut" sale was put on and duly
advertised, the humblest and the most
influential man in the county being treat
ed exactly alike. Tie most inexperi-
enced clerk was authorized to sell at just
the same price as the proprietors. Mr..
Covington is firm believer in print
er's ink" and has always advertised ex-
tensively and judiciously and with tell
ing effect. The house has always done
fine business, the year just closed hav
ing been the best in its history. The
new firm will incorporate under the
name of The r. G. H. Covington Co
All the young men in the house will
take such amount of stock as they are
able 10 carry, Mr.. Covington allowing
them to pay for same out of their earn
ings, just as they are able. Mr.. Coving
ton has always encouraged young men
in economical. moral and business hab
its and this move is in line with his idea
of good citizenship and help TO his fell

The Madison Tobacco Warehouse has
Just closed another successful week,
selling nearly $50, 900 pounds, with prices
ranging from &c to SOC. Good tobacco
is scarce, but when shown demands at
tentiou and brings excellent prices, while
the low grades have never been higher
than at present. We want to ask those
who have tobacco left that they get it to
market just as soon as they can-while
prices are good. While we expect a
steady to strong market, though, it is
best to sell when you know the market
is goo. During the last week some OF
the best averages were as follows: W C.
Ross sold LIPS pounds, average SIS pei
hundred, one basket bringing $50 pei
hundred. Tudor and Moberly sold 3. so;
