CHAPPELL HILL NOTES.
By Our Special Correspondent.
The Elocutionary and Musical en-
tertainment Saturday evening, was
thoroughly enjoyed by a large au-
dience. The program opened with a
>iano duette by Misses Felder and
fteaville, followed by "Creede
of the Bells," recited by Miss D. A.
Bledsoe with flue poweraud expression
Miss Bessie Stovall delighted the au-
dience with a very pathetic rendering
of "The DeadDolly."
The recitations—"Matinel," "Parr-
liasius and the Coptire" and "Aristar-
eus Studies Kiocutiou" were given
during the ovening by Miss Bledsoe,
with a perfection thfct showed her
mistress of her art.
Master Julius Johnson, of Flatonio,
a pupil of Miss Bledsoe's, gave proof of
excellent training and good talent in
Un-Polpoursi d'Elocution."
The vocal duette—"In Meadows
Green" was well sung by Miss Kate
Felder and Mrs. S. M. Godbey.
Nennetta" a vocal solo , beautifully
executed by Mrs. R. K. Felder closed
the program.
Miss Bledsoe has been engaged as
teacher of Elocution in the Chappell
Hill Female college. She makes a
specialty of physical culture, accord-
ing to the Delsarte System.
All are looking forward with much
leasure to the comiug of Edward
riaxter Perry, the blind pianist, to
Brenham. Quite a number from here
will attend his recital. Mr. Perry is
not only world renowned as a pianist,
but as a lecturer he is unequaled. His
interpretations and explanations of
the different numbers on his program
serve to make his recitals not only in-
tensely interesting but instructive^
You may feel your blood rushing up
to your head for surprise and make
you think it 100 in the shade when
,'ou hear our low prices, which are be-
ow zero.

The Banner regrets that Mr. John
Watson failed to secure the position
of assistant secretary of the Senate,
aud has no doubt that the failure is
due to the lact that Secretary Crow-
ly's resolution that each member
should read two minutes as a test of
their fitness for the position, was ruled
out of order. I). A. Wortham, of Hop-
kins county, secured the position.
