of the new business on the corner.WILFRID THE WIZARDThe second entertainment provided by the Brevard Lyceum will be given at the graded school building on next Tuesday evening, Nov.. 28. The firsVTS'Smber given ab mt a month ago proved very popular, and the second entertainment will doubtless draw a large crowd.The entertainment next Tuesday evoning will be filled with both fun and mystery. There will be two persons to furnish the amusement of the evening—one the man of mystery, tho other a comedian. The following is a brief synopsis of what may be expected.After making their introduction in a most amusing manher, Messrs. Rutherford and Rianhard exert their every effort to entertain their audience, tfhe “Wizard,” with arms bared to the elbows, will demonstrate to the satisfaction of all that it is not only possible for an artiqle to be in two places at the same time-—or even three places, but that it is equally possible that it be nowhere at all. While standing in close proximity to the luminous foot-lights a large lighted lamp mysteriously vanishes from the hands of the Monarch of Magic. The manipulation of coins, cards, rings, balls, etc., in the hand of the “Wizard,” is marvelous beyond a per-adventure. Along with themystery connected with these interesting tricks is “Rastus,” who is continually getting into mischief in a most amusing manner.

The stage settings and fixtures are modern and up-to-date, the costumes are well selected for the characters, and, *** fact the entire .production has been arranged with a view to please the most critical.Thursday, November 30, Thanksgiving day, will be generally observed in Brevard. The merchants j ^ will close their stores and give their I employees a holiday. |
