THE GRAND CONCERT,
On Friday night of last week, given
by Dr- and Mrs. J. M. Howell, assisted
by Mrs. Howell's 'music scholars, was.
beyond dispute, a complete success.—
There was a very largo and attentive
crowd in attendance, and we are glad
to say that those taking partin the Con
cert did their duty as far as was possi
ble to please, continually filling the
hall with strains of splendid music,both
vocal and instrumental. The enter
tainment was highly flattering to the
taste atid judgment exercised by those
controlling the Concert, and wo sin
cerely hope that it will soon bo repeat
ed.
SAD INDEED.
We regret that Mr. J. 15. Simmons,

i we tlliak that it would dot be ?p exag

pounds. Thus we see that the tide of
economy is rising, and should the oust

TUB CONCERT.
We attended the (Jopceft at
plains on last Friday night, and would
endeavor to speak in detail of the very
handsome manner in which those con
cerned acquitted themselves, but will
leave it to “Orgetoris,” Who, we no
ti red, conspicuous in the audience, with
pencil apd paper, either “Dotting,’* or
sketching the beautiful face of sonic of
those lovely actors. Let that be as it
may,—a picture or a dot—either wiii
do. Then, there is “Alexander," poor
fellow ! he was there too, and we would
have said “left to him,” but, from the'
close proximity wlych he occupied t<>'
the subject of his dreams and soliloquiei
we concluded that ere this bis soul has
forgotten its connection with the
and is soaring amid celestial orbs.—
Again, there is Ed. Copelan of Greens
boro’; he was there, and we might
leave it with him to detail; but then
that Wouldn’t do, for any man wbd
would get lost from his “sweet-by-und
by” iu a crowd like that, would eer
tainJy get lost in making up a report
for a newspaper.
