notice, and that the good people OIL
Macon will acquiesce with us in
congratulating these young ladies
and gOatlemeo on their success on
this occasion, we beg the use of a
little space in your columns to say
a few words in their behalf.
Permit us to say hat they won
for themselves golden laurcls in the
rendition of their respective parts ;
and Macon should feel proud of a
number of young folks who can
furnish amusement and instruction
well worthy Of its applause and
consideration. That they did we'll,
exceedingly yell, has been the verdict
of every one present.
Especially is al praise due to
Messrs, Wcathored and L. Williams
for the manner in which they per-
formed their par is, their only
purpose being to alhuse the audience
which we really think they did.
To Misses K, Howell X. Faser,
RCAaaalel n licks Ii. Howell,
Aarp A1s ing aides, also is
due, in EreAt part, the success of
the occasion. They performed with
a grace and elegance highly charac-
t%eristic of their good taste and
appreciation of the characters, and
zealously ondeavored to give an
entertainment creditable to them
selves and the town.
We must not forget to mention
"The Haunted House," a piece so
well adapted to the times, and so
wei! performed, in African style, by
Messrs. Holt, King and P~restridge.
Taking it altogether, it was a
grand success, although not as
largely attended al it should have
been, when the object was one to
which every citizen of our town
should have added his little mite,
Notwithstanding the hard times, for
we feel that those who contribute
to relieve tho poor little orphans
do that which is pleasing in the
sight of God, and many r the
kind prayers from their little
innocent lips, returning thanks to
the strangers who have relieved
their wants. SPECTATOR.
