Year.
Year..

Year.
Everybody who is interested in
providing clean entertainment for
the youth of our community is asked
to pay especial attention to the at
fractions offered by the Piedmont
Lyceum Bureau, who will present
four numbers during the coming
season. The artists engaged are
trained professionals who know how
to please the popular taste while
presenting music and drama of the
highest order. The prices have been
placed within the reach of all, the
season tickets are two dollars for
the four evenings or one dollars for
each entertainment. If enough sea-
son tickets can be sold to guarantee
the amount promised every child in
the community will be admitted for
one quarterAthe price of a movie"
We have all heard the story of the
man in one of New York's most
fashionable restaurants who could
not think of anything that he want
ed but blackberry pie. There he was
with the choicest morsels from the
markets of the world at his COM
mand but his appetite refused TO
consider anything but homely black
berry pie! There is more in the
story than joke; if that mans
taste had been cultivated, if he had
even known the names of the deli
cacies to be enjoyed there do you
suppose that he would not have had
a lunch of which he would be still
telling his grand children? Some
years ago an American was travel
ing in England and was put into
railway carriage with a gentleman
with whom he fell into conversation
about their professions. The Ameri-
can was a ranchman with wealth
untold in cattle and lands; the Eng
lishman was a writer, he said, and
pulled manuscript out of his
pocket and read to the American
what he described as some thing
about a branch" Afterwards he
learned that he had spent half q
day with Lord Alfred Tennyson and
had had the rare privilege of hear
ing the immortal poem The
Brook" read by the distinguished
author. But he did not have sense
enough to know the high honor
conferred upon him.
Our opportunities for hearing
good things in Rockingham are not
very good; some times a good thing
is offered and fails TO find apprecia-
ton; let us see to it that our young
people do not make similar mis-
takes; let us train their tastes until
They will honestly prefer good mu-
sic and good plays to anything like
THE Widows Revenge" or Forty
Buckets of Blood Why shouldn't
they know that there are more
good things than blackberry pie?
The first number will be present
ed on December 2Sth, when every
body wants some where to 60" 1t
consists of The Princess Nadonis
Indians-four full blooded Indians
who will give native songs and reci-
tations in native costumes. Princess
Nadonis has been abroad several
times and has been received by the
Crowned Heads who would not no
tice you or me; she is of the tribe
3of the Ojibways and composes her
own songs and poems. She is ac-
jcompanied by Chief Konaka White
Eagle of the Winnebago tribe, who
wears the war feathers of his an
cestors worn by Chief Plenty Horse
who was killed in the Custer fight. i
Other Numbers will be announced
just before their appearance so that
none may forget. A canvas will soon
be made to place tickets and it is to
be hoped that the public will re-
spond generously to this effort of
the Woman's Club. Season tickets

children 25 cents.
