The Private Secretary.
With his nourishment, his goloshes,
and his goods and chattels, The Private
Secretary will make his appearance at
the Academy of Music next Thursday
night and his "do-you-know," so fa-miliar
to all good play-goers, will prove
just as entertaining as when this meek
and sanctimonious individual first
made his appearance a number of years
ago. The Private Secretary is one of
the few comedies that has successfully
withstood the test of time. For over
sixteen years this great masterpiece
of William Gillette's has charmed over
and over again thesame audiences,and
has always been accorded a perfect
ovation as it moves around the circle.
Instead of being put aside as "one of
the good things of the past," it con-tinues
among the good things of the
piesent and is still the amusement lov-ers'
idol—the standard by which all
other comedies are judged. The gifted
comedian, Edwin Travers, is the man
that made the Private Secretary fa-mous
on two continents as the "fun-niest
comedy ever written," and The
Private Secretary made for Edwin
Travers the enviable reputation he
holds in the theatrical world. Mr.
Travers and his admirable company
will be seen at the Academy next
Thursday night and those who have
not done so are unconditionally urged
to secure seats at once, not missing
this opportunity of reveling in the
beauties of the cleanest, brightest and
best comedy of the season. Prices 25,
50 and 75 cents.
An Invitation.
OAK RIDGE, Mar. 25th, 1898.
To the Teachers and Pupils of the Graded
and Public SohooU of Guilford county.
Greeting:
I am authorized by a committee rep-reienting
the Literary Societies of Oak
Ridge Institute to invite you to meet
with the students of Oak Ridge In-stitute
and the various High Schools
and Colleges of Guilford county, on
Friday, May 6th. 1898, for the pur-pose
of participating in the ceremo-nies
attending the unveiling of a mon-ument
to Gillies, the Bugler Boy of
"Light Horse Harry" Lee's legion. We
hope to make this a gala day for the
young people of the county. We feel
that in honoriug this noble young pa-triot
all the boys aud girls of the
county should be with us. So far as
we know, no other boy of Revolutionary
times has been similarly honored, and
yet it is fit while we are erecting mon-uments
to statesmen and generals that
this young boy, who gave his life to
bis country and thus aided in gaining
the freedom which we so abundantly
enjoy, should be honored by the youths
of historic old Guilford. The occasion
falls at a time of year when a day's
outing at the Guilford Battle Ground
will be heartily eujoyed. We hope to
have every one of you grace the occa-sion.
Very truly yours,
MICHAEL SCUEXCK,
Sec'y Bugler Monument Com.
—The closing exercises of Miss Vir-ginia
Taylor's school in district No 1,
Gilmer township, were held at the res-idence
of Mr. John E. McKnight oo
last Friday evening in the presence of
a large gathering of patrons, neigh-bors
and friends. The exercises con-sisted
mainly of recitations, dialogues
and music, local and instrumental.
The selections exhibiting good taste
and careful traiuing by the teacher,
Miss Taylor, a graduate of the State
Normal, were happily rendered by the
pupils and enthusiastically applauded
by the audience. A line string band
tilled up the gaps between the recita-tions
with good music, making the old
folks forget, for the nonce, the cares of
life and imagine they were young
again. Just before closing the exer-cises
it was announced by Mr. Mc-
Knight that Miss Taylor had offered a
{ prize to be awarded to the pupil who
I showed the most marked improvment
on penmanship during the term, and
that the committee, consisting of Mr.
1 W. D. Wharton, A. L. Rankin and J.
R. Wharton, to examine the specimens
had marked four of the copybooks,
No*. 1, 2, 3 and 4. These books be-longed
respectively to Bettie Phillips.
Roy McKnight, Rosa Fields and Ed-win
Rankin. The prize, a handsome
gold pen and staff, was presented to
Miss Bettie Phillips by Mr.J.K. Whar-ton
and then the curtaiu dropped.
Everyone present appreciated Mr. Mc-
Kuighl's hospitality.

An Invention Which is of Great
Interest to all Farmers, and those
of this Section Particularly.
In this issue the Odell Hardware Co.,
of this city, presents for the considera-tion
of our readers a cut of the Globe
Cultivator. It is interesting to know
that this popular farming implement
is the invention of .a t.uiiford county
man, Mr. B. C. Troxler, and is manu-factured
within a few miles of this
city by the Globe Plow Co. The odell
Hardware .Co. are the selling agents,
and have succeeded in introducing the
Cultivator iu almost every section of
this State, and in parts of adjacent
Mates as well.
The great popularity of the tool
could not have been achieved, however,
notwithstanding the energy with
which it has been pushed, had it not
been possessed of genuine merit. It
can be used as a two, three or four hoe
cultivator, for cultivating corn, cotton,
nursery stock, and everything that is
planted in rows. Among those who
bear willing testimony to its superior
qualities are J. Van I.indley and John
A. Young, both well known as success-ful
nurserymen.
Farmers are invited to call at the
