10. Chorus
We arrived at the school some time
after the exercises began, and cannot
speak of the entire performances. Most
of the dialogues were prepared by the
Principal, Prof. Dodson, and some OF
them contained local references, which
are always calculated to bring a smile
of interest. IN the dialogue, "Matrimo-
NAL Advertisement" the HERALD was
mentioned as the paper in which the
advertisement was inserted. The origi-
nal address by Mr. y. II. SOuthall was
quite a surprise to us. 1t was full OF
| beautiful thoughts, beautifully express
ed-thoughts such as none but poet
| feel. He reminded US of the old English
! poets, and of Harvey's Meditations. Mr..
Soutnall is country boy, native OF
the Gravelly Hill country, across the
| river; and he is not wasting the Opportu-
mites which such such a life furnishes
| of being poetical and thoughtful. His
delivery was not good, however, and he
should labor to be more seli-composed.
The other original speech, by Mr.. Thos.
B. Kelley, was also excellent, being full
of such ideas as should always actuate
| lD0 llN0S vi young ul6u anu TeuQGr Lu0ul
noble. 1t was delivered in plain, natu-
raj and effective manner. The young
ladies all sang aud played skilfully, and
we intend no depreciation in mention
| ing only few pieces. The gem OF the
evening, we think, was The Mermaid's
Evening Song" Madame Marbeau has
/ pleasant, highly cultivated voice, and
under excellent control. Miss Ella
Dodson's voice, in this piece, was clear,
! sparkling and musical, Miss Inez's
| voice is, like her face, very pretty and
sweet. These two young ladies also
sang Two Merry Girls" in a very
brilliant, sparkling style. Their execu-
j ton OF the instrumental piece frem
| " Norma - was skiltul and artistic
| keeping good time and executing TIE
most difficult notes with ease. Miss
Moore, with her freshtvoice and face, sang
well. And the instrumental pieces by
/ Miss l.. p. Jones, Mis- Embrey. Miss
Rush Tyler, Miss Queenie Armstrong
Miss Annie Dodson, Miss Lncretis
Bunch, Miss Bessie Bethel and John bod
son, were rendered in such a manner as
to do credit to pupil and teacher. Take
it altogether, the evenings entertain
ment was such as to more than repay US
for our ride of eight miles, to and from
town, in 250 atmosphere.
