Of last evening so fairly promised, but
only dream Of what / have lost when 1 re-
call the words Of an ENTHUSIASTIC friend,
who, with passion for music laden told,
with tho fOyousness Of 9 David OF the
blended mower Of voice n instrument
there consorted in harmony upon each lis
tenfng heart, 1 might appreciate more
fully my friends enthusiasm, but 1 was

"Dugy" would say, with a "ericket's eye"
The thriving and beautiful little
CITY OF coLLIERvLLE
was the rendezvous, and q musical soirse,
the attraction not so unfortunate after all.
There last night I heard some "mOst me-
lodious sounds, Of all that might delight
a dainty ear"
Collierville is prOsperings Its citizens
are building it up into beauty, Phoenix
like, from the ashes that a distressing war
laid upon it. Jealous to contribute 70 its
rapid Improvement, the musical talent OF
the place and neighbOrhOOd combined
in the entertainment alluded to-, for the
benefit of C~olliervilIe's coming pride, the
npublic square" The new and spacious
Christian Church was fitted up for the
purpose, and the ladies and gentlemen o.
Collierville may to-day feel indeed proud
of the result Of their efforts to cater to a
sense that may justly appreciate
"a Feast or REASON A FLOW OF
SOUL"
It was a complete success. The "com-
binationu was rewarded with an audience
numbering at least six hundred or seven
hundred; among them as goodly a pro
norton Of the "braVe and fair" as l have
ever seen at Bartlett on its best gala day.
The entertainment was a meJGnge OF songs,
charades and ~tablesuX, the delivery and
execution rejecting great credit upon al.
There were 'stsrs," Of course, IN the cash
