Tho violin playing of Miss Hertha
Wobb was of a high ordor. Her selec?

tho first number and Sirasato's Spanish
danco tho second. Miss Wobb is tho
most finished lady violinist who
has appeared in ltoanoke and is not
ranked by Perais Bell, Maude Powell or

THE WKATUK.lt in boanokk.
During tho past twenty-four hourst
Uoanoke has been treated to almost
every kind of wintor weather. Tho ex?
treme eold of the past tew days gave
way. off and on, to a mueh milder at?
mosphere, succeeded by light falls of
snow the greater pare of yesterday,
which Impeded locomotion at one time
and accelerated It at another. Tho thin
coating of snow on tho glassy sidewalks
made a very seductive toboggan slide
for the unwary, and it was no uncommon
thing for citizens to repeatedly salute
their mother earth. Tho small boy was
in his element, wbilo his father was de?
cidedly not. The indications today all
point to a renowal of yesterdey'a
weather, aR there is snow in the air.
