the proceedings Of Aasieal Convention, held re.

State.
The exercises Of the Convention we're opened
in the Stone United Presbyterian Church on
the morning Of the 9th inst. at o'clock, under
the leadership Of Nessrs. Chase and Coe Of Wa.
pellc and Burns Of Morning Sun.
The meetings were largely attended by the
citizens Of Louisa and Des Noines counties, all
Of whom were entertainsdgratuito by the cit.
izens Of the place. We were agreeably surpris-
ed at the proficiency displayed by some Of the
class in the science Of music and We think that
We can safely say that Morning Sun and Wapel-
10 can produce some Of the rv,y best singers in
the State. The convention (which had its ses-
sions each evening, a. we'll a. in the day time)
closed on Thursday evening with grand free
concert, given by the class composed of some 200
choice singers: also several pieces Of music by
the Strauss string band Of Wapello assisted by
Mr.. John b. Isett, celebrated vocalist This
10 the best band of the kind in the State, and
the young men composing it, are gentlemen Of
the highest order. The pieces selected for the
concert were all well executed, and We believe,
gave universal satisfaction HIS
