monies: A Community Celebration of American Roots Music,” is planned to begin at 3 pm, and will feature a va- riety of regional musicians, including the North Buncombe High School jazz band, offering glimpses of the great American tapestry of sound. “New Harmonies” is part of Mu-
seum on Main Street, a collaboration between the Smithsonian Institution and the North Carolina Humanities Council, a statewide nonprofit and af- filiate of the National Endowment for the Humanities. Support for Museum on Main Street has been provided by

Te exhibition explores the work of well-known folk, gospel, country and blues artists who have inspired generations of musicians, like Ma Rainey, B.B. King, Jimmie Rodgers, the Carter Family, Mahalia Jackson, Woody Guthrie and Joan Baez, and captures the spirit of musi- cal styles that are at the heart of local heritage in the United States–Tejano, zydeco, polka, Cajun, conjunto and klezmer. “New Harmonies” focuses on how roots music gives Americans a soundtrack and a voice for their sto- ries.
Te exhibition at Mars Hill College will be coordinated through the Ram-
the state chosen to host the traveling exhibition. Te exhibition will be in Weizenblatt Gallery, Moore Audito- rium, through Nov. 6. “We are so pleased and honored to

credit cards typi- cally offer card- holders points to redeem on future purchases, toward
airline travel, or cash back. Any decision to accept such an arrangement is based on factors including the consumer’s preferred type of reward, shopping and spending habits, willingness to pay an- nual fees, etc. Consumers may com- pensate for the annual fee charged by reward credit card issuers, depending on the card and their spending habits. In cases where a balance is carried
forward, cardholders with reward cards may find that the higher interest rates carried by their cards (compared with standard credit cards) might result in more spent on finance charges than is being offered in rewards. Tus, such cards favor consumers who pay off their monthly balances. HINT: It is very important that con-
sumers read the fine print contained in the terms and conditions contained in credit card agreements, which have clauses related to points and cash-back offers. When the time comes for you to re-
