MENDELSSOHN QUINTETTE CLUB.
The music furnished by the above
named club is not catching to the
common ear, but the educated say it
is oar excellence. The lovers oi ar
tistic music were delighted with the
evening, from the first piece to the
last. The most particular hit of the
evening was the beautiful mezzo
sonrano voice of Miss Marie Bauard.
She was given frequent encores, and
her appearance was always the sig
nal for applause. There wa9 a good
deal of comnlaiut. and we have been
requested to speak of. the bad be
havior of a few of Columbia's young
ladies and gentlemen. Tuey could
not appreciate the music, aud they
would not let others. Their constant
chattering and giggling annoyed
creat many who had paid their
monev and gone there to enjoy the
music. It is surprising the class of
neoule who will be guilty of such
rudeness. Some of these innocents
have the air th .t "because it is me
people will excuee it. Because of
their own good minners they say
nothing to vou. but if you could ac
cidentallv hear half the remarks
made about vou the next day, you
would perhaps behave yourself the
next time. This same behavior oc
curs at every entertainment, and the
guilty oues are the very ones we have
the rignt to expect oeier oi. ii is e
sh uue upon Columbia that it is so.
THE LAST AND BEST.
The celebrated Schubert Male Quai
tette will be here Friday night April
10th. This is the last aud best of the
Y. M. C. A. Star Course, under the
management of Mr. E. A. Fusch
The nuartette is composed of the
world reuowned vocalist, Meaars,
Battle. Stone. Tyley, and Iott, assisted
by Miss Genie M. Baldwin, Soprano,
aud Miss Georgiella Lay, Pianist.
Everyone should save themselves for
this grand musical treat.
THE IMPERIAL QUARTETTE.
The performance giveu by the Iin
perial Quartette last Friday night was
an all-rouud failure. The receipts
failed t- pay Mr. Fusch the sum he
had guranteed the Quartette, and the
fmusic failed to please the few who
were there. Some oi tne music was
fairly good, but there was altogether
too much ot a sameness.
Royal Arcauuiu.
Messrs. J. P. Street, E. A. Fusch.

leading the list in gain of member
ship since Jan. 1st 1800. E. A. Fusch
was honored by being made Grand
Vice Regent and J. P. Street was
elected to serve on the Finance Com

the grandest and most posperous in
surauce order in existence.

Y. M. C. A. ANI VERSA RY.
The above organization observed
their rtrst aulversary last Sunday
evening at the Methodist church, and
presented to the large audience au
interesting order of exercises. The
music, which was remarkably good,
was furnished by the members oi tne
association, ably assisted by several
of the best voices among the young
ladies ot the city.
Morgan r nersou presided at tne
organ, auu periormea witn rare skui.
The association is Goutiness ueepiy
indebted to this young gentleman for
so kindly assisting them at this mect-
Mr. 11. l . f iguers maue some ex
cellent remarks, taking "Inconsis
tency" as his subject.
The address ol W. !-. .Fleming, jr.,
the President of the Association,
was listened to with marked atten
tion. We give only a brtel synopsis
of it. He said that the association s
aim was not to supplant the church
but was in fact what it professed to
be, tho right arm of the church. Any
association that fails in this, is uu
worthy of the support of the public;
but auv association that fulfills the
object for which it was organized, de
serves not only the flnaucial suport
of the public, but the eucouragetneut
of the people's presence in. all their
meetings, and a remembrance in me
people's prayers.
Tne Association does no charity
work; that branch of religious work
having been left to that beautiful and
most excellent order, the Kings
Daughters.
He referred to the liberality with
which the people of Columbia re
sponded last year to the request for
means to start the Association, and
said that the Association was there to
render the dividend to each one for
the investment they made.
He referred frequently to the
Secretary's report' and emphasized
the facts contained in it, and showed
that the association's life for the past
year was one of undoubted progress.
He closed by saying iu substance,
that the Association loves the sup
port of the low minded, an 1 deserves
the practical support of the high
minded.
Wc cannot add to what was said
that evening, aud we cannot hope to
impress more forcibly upon the pub
lic mind than has already been doi e,
that the Young Men's - Christian
Association is a grand organization;
but we lay it uowu as a truth that
cannot be controverted, that idleness
is a fruitful cause of backsliding.
Ther6 are many young men who feel
that their christian growth depends
upon "active work for their Loru and
Master. To such we say, what the
association says all the time, go visit
the sick young men of your city;
go to the gospel meeting for men only
and take a friend wi -,h you ; take ad
vantage of the opportunity given yon
to testify of the hope that is Iu you.
Go to the reading room aud spend an
occasional eveuiug there, and when
you go take some youug man whom
you know to be living a bad life, with
you ; entertain him and endeavor to
keep him out of evil places, away
from evil companions.
This is what the young men of the
association have been trying to do;
this is some of the work it wiil give
you to do. Will you do it?
Paint Yonr -House.
Why not? It costs but little and is
money well Sent to preserve tbe
building. Now is the time while the
atmosphere is free from dust ajd in
sects. The first question to decide is,
where you cau get the best paint. As
it costs no more to apply a strictly
pure than au adulterate i article, it is
manifestly to the interest of every
purchaser to get the beet.
Our paints are manufactured es
pecially for us by our own formula,
under a contract guaranteeing abso
lute purity. We subject them to a
rigid chemical analysis and can state
positively, as we ku.iw it to be a fact,
that they contain no adulterants
whatever, are made of the best and
purest materials and are absolutely
pure. They must not be classed with
the many adulterated paints with
which the market is 'flooded, and
which cost you as much or more thau
our paints do.
We are lust in receipt of a full
stock of all the latent and most beau
tiful shadss for 1891.

A Curd from Scott P. Harlan, Auent
the Williamsport Pike.
Editor Herald. Iu your last
tveetv's issue appeared au article,
signed "Eunice." .My attention has
just been called Vt this article. It
deals in unwarranted insinuations,
aud hides them under an assumed
name, of the feminine gender. If the
writer of that article is at all familiar
with the efforts heretofore mad, to
build a pike from Columbia to WTH
liamspott, he knows that there has
been a charter for some eight years
lor a pike leading directly irom Co
lumbia to Willia iitpoit, andfthat 1
have done every tinug I coulu to have
said pike built; that I have always
expressed mvselt willing to cooperate
w Hh the people a!o jg the line to build
a pike any way tnat it could be built ;
that 1 prefer the direct route, as per
the charter now obtained; failing in
this, that I next preter the route,
leavtug the Hampsaird pike near T.
H. Wil.i m,' for the reason that it
puts our tartu two miles nearer to
Cdumbia than the Tiudall lane route'
1 have done every thing iu my powei
for years to get tlie pike to Columbia
by the nearest way possible; liudmg
mat I could rely upon little help from
"Eunice" and Lis Williamspoit
friends, in despair of getting the pike
built by cither ot the nearer routes, 1
made the etlbrt to get it built by way
ot the Timiail lane, and with a li'ie
prospect of tuctefs; when lo,
iiuuicf" suddenly appears upon lut
sceue with his itiKinuations that 1
was attempting lo t;et the liietchant
of Columbia to Le'p build a pike ihai
would carry trade from them to
Polk's Station. Now I would like
to ask the io-icst damsel when she
tirst I eoame au advocate for a turn
pike Irom Williamsport to Colum
bia? How much she will give tu
build tlie pike by the route she pro
poses? Who arejthe persons that
undertake lo guarantee the building
of the pike from where the Williams
port road lea via tha pike to Greeu
Ijick Creek ? fce. If a reliable guaran
tee, such as site says can be had, to
build the road from Green's Lick
Creek to where tie Williamspori
Road comes into tho Hampshire pike
at Tom Williams', And from Nebo to
W lliamsport, then we pledge oui
selves to heartily cooperate in the
building of the pike, and I will agree
to contribute as liberally as the in
sinuating damsel, or as any other
person. . But if it is found that the
pike cannot be built from Columbia
by the route pr -posed by "the maiden
fair," then let us have it by any route
obtainable. I say this much, that 1
may be properly understood, and thai
my actions in attempting to get the
pike by Tindall's lane may not be
misunderstood.

Abilene, Texas, March .ftlh, lis'.d.
KimtoH Hkiiai.h: Thinking that per
haps a few lines from a former Maury
iiiitinn wonlil provo oi niicrest lo
some ol your many readers, I will en
deavor to give timm through the col
umns of your valuable paper a descri
tion of this part of Tex as.
The city of Abilene lies on tho back
bone or divide, separating tho fertile
lira.os river and Co wcho river valleys.
Tho 'Texas and Pacilic bring to it the
products of the surrounding territory
irom au extended radius and before
another crop is harvested tho Houston
Texas Central is expected to extend this
tar. Ten years ago the country Where
now stands a beautiful and nourishing
city of six thousand inhabitants, was a
bare prairie , trod only by tho reckless
cow boys as they rounded up their
herds. 'Tho city has already .one Hour
null with a daily capacity of two hun
drjd barrels, besides several smaller
who. '1 Ho supply of water is furnished
by a very prosperous local company,
which ulso manufactures and furnishes
ico lor tho city. This company fur
nishes tho city's waler supply . from a
never tailing well of tho purest water,
which is pumped into a reservoir on the
heightlis adjoining the city, which has
a capacity ot 5,min,iMi gallons. Tho city
will soon bo lighted up by electricity,
as tho work of constructing a plar.t is
rapidly progressing under the tblo su
periniendency of Mr. 10 I) Kelly, an ex
pert electrician from St. Iouis.
Abilene is said to be ono of the best
equipped young cities iu Western
Texas. She has three National banks,
the Farmers and MercliaiitH, the First
National and the Abilene National;
they are all prosperous institutions.
There are three largo public school
buildings in tho city and a large amount
has been subset ibed by the Baptist
church for the erection of a commo
dious female seminary near the city,
with accommodations tor three hun
dred pupils, 'i'ho soil of Taylor county
is divorsilied, but extremely fertile;
one fourth of it is tin) famous black
waxy laud, and tiio remaining three
lour. lis is a dark sandy loam. We
have surrounding us thousands of
acres of tho very lim-st piality of fann
ing lands, and larmiug is a promised
success as is proven by three good
crops in succession. Tailor county in
the fall of l"Kl look tho banner at the
Dallas lair for tho best county exhibit
ol the stale. Tho land on which the
agricultural part of this exhibit was
growu can bo bought at from ton to
twenty dollars per acre. Maid land Is
situated from one to live miles from
town.
From live to ton miles from the rail
road it can bo bought at front $3 to f 10
per a'-ro.
If some enterprising Maury countlau
was hero with a unmoor of line Jerseys,
such as vou have around Columbia,
and would start a dairy, I think ho
would find 't a paying business. At
present tho demand ts'nt half supplied ;
sweet milk Is sold very readily at 40
cents per gallon and butter milk at
half the cost of tho sweet, w hile butter
goos at from '- to .15 cents per pound.
Tho open, prairie furnishes abundant
pasturage through tho summer, fall
and spring months, and in the winter
at a small cost, on cotton seed, bran
and prairio grass hay.
Many kind wishes for tbe success of
tho Hkkai.p. Uetlaw.
