The Redoubtable "Samps.”
Samps Pope, the “lily white”
republican candidate tor Gov
ernor, held forth in the court
house last Saturday to a crowd
of colored people aud a few
whites, who came out of curios
ity to hear what the Doctor had
to say for himself and his tac
tion. While he was speaking
in the court house, the W ebster
taction, led by K. H. Deas, held
an out door meeting in front of
ttae court house where they
were addressed by some ot tne
colored orators. The crowd
on both sides which listened
to the speakers was not very
large, many ot the colored peo
ple appearmg to take very uttie
interest m wuat was going on.

THE MYSTIC MIDGETS.
A Charmiiig Entertainment.
The Mystic Midgets’ perform
ances last Tuesday and Wed-
nesuay nights were a credit to
the* town and the gentlemen
wtio tMteed the seventy five
children who took part. The
music, which was furnished by
Mr. Smith.deal on the piano,
was “catchy” and m some parts
difficult, but the singing ot the
ciioruses was nevertheless good
and showed excellent training,
lue costumes were all very ap
propriate aud taking and added
much to the general effect.
Tbe little policeman, dressed in
regulation cap and unitorm,
was capital, and the singing
aud acting of tbe little China
man and Psyche were very near
ly perfect. Space does not ad
mit of a detailed account of the
different and many good points
in tbe performance, but suffice
it to say that the writer nas
never attended a more enjoy
able thing of the kind and such
seems to be the general verdict.
It is not known at this writing
how much the King’s Daughters
and Messrs. Retrain, Willard
and Smithdeal realized out of
the undertaking, but, be tne
amount large or small, they are
certainly entitled to the thanks
of the community for furnish
ing such a charming and high
class entertainment.

The Minttrel Show.
It is seldom that an amateur
company gives such satisfac
tion as did the members of the
“Minstrel Show” who appeared
in the Opera House on Thurs
day night last. Mr. J. W. Tit-
linghast had charge of the en
tertainment and it goes with
out saying that it was a success.
The program consisted of a
Minstrel snow; a base ball pan
tomime; and a farce. The over
ture to the minstrel show began
before the curtain was raised
and just at tbe proper time the
curtain rose disclosing the cho
rus with the end men, who at
once broke into a most pleasing
of greeting. The song, “Mamie
come kiss your honey boy,”
sung by Mr. Waiter James,
(Sambo) was received with ev
cry expression of pleasure by
the large audience. The song,
“Climb up Children” also sung
by Samoo was a hit. The song
and chorus “Only a picture of
her boy,” the solo sung by Mr.
Jno. K. Mclver, and the chorus
sung by the troupe was render'
ed witn great expression. The
solo part sung by Mr. Mclver
was a treat to tne lovers of good
music. Mr. A. G. Kollock sang
“The sidewalks of New York,”
in fine style. His voice was
particularly good in this song
which suited him. Among
other well rendered songs the
universal opinion is that the
last on the program was the
best ot the evening. Thu was
a song and chorns, “The Pride
of the Bali” sung by Mr. R. E.
James and the cnorus. In this
Mr. James was at his best and
never before has his voice been
heard on that stage to such ad
vantage. There were the usual
jokes between Bones and Sambo
many of which were new and
good. After the concert pro
per there was an imitation of a
base bail game between Messrs.
K. E. A Waiter James (Bones
and Sambo) which would have
done credit to the best profes
sionals. The whole was follow
ed by a farce, the darkey wood-
seller, in which Mr. R. E. James
took the part of the darkey,
Mr. Michie the part of the Dea
con, and Mr. Dantzler the part
of the Deacon’s wife. This
laughable tarce was greeted
witn rounds of applause by the
house. This show was a highly
creditable one and was a suc
cess. The whole management
was ia the hands of Mr. J. W.
Tiiiinghast wno had not only
the training of the voices, but
the arrangement of all the in
strumental parts played by tbe
orchestra. The opening over
ture was particularly fine. The
orchestra consuted of Miss Jen
nie Hast, who was at the piano;
Mr. Angus Gainey first violin;
Mr. O. N. Spinks comet; Mr. J.
W. Tiliingnast second violin
and Director.
Refreshments were sold by
the ladies after the curtain
went down, and there was a
cake walk at which the first
prze was won by Miss Pat
Woods mid Mr. Bright William
son, and the “booby prine” by
Mr. J. L. Micbie. The latter
was a little.candy pig.
Tbe chorus col sis ted of
Messrs. R. E. James, J. K. Me*
Iyer and C. D. Evans, Tenors;
and Messrs. U. B. Edwards, A.
G. Kollock, E. Vaughan, W.
W. McCutchen, Bassos, and
Waiter James, Bantoas.
it would not be amiss to have
a concert trom this combination
at least once a month.
