Last Friday evening, "Ervin's Parlol

! Last Friday evening, "Ervln's farIOr
Concert Company" gave a most satisfac-
tory entertainment in Jones' hall. Miss
Zelm" flaming has clear and sweet
soprano voice, her manner pleasing and
graceful, and she SO pleased her audience
that she received most hearty encores.
She certainly is one Of the most pleasing
singers that has favored an Austin audi
ence IN many day. Mr.. Homer Weeks,
the violin soloist, touches his violin as
though not afraid, and sweet strains blend
and follow in rapid succession. The
cornet soloist, E A. Erwin, also breathes,
and 10! sounds delightful gree: our esr.
Harry Shields, the Dutch Commedian, IS
we'll worth the price of admission. The
entertainers were worthy of paying
house, which, we regret to say, they did
not have.
The skaters have been making merry
with the mill-pond and its sleeny cover
ing, for several days. The ice has not
proven altogether safe, however, and we
are glad, that Of the two accidents occur
ing this past week, neither proved serious.
Miss Minnie Richards took chilling
bath, but escaped without serious effects
Immediate assistance prevented, perhaps,
A dangerous experience. Esther Royce,
sprigh,ly little Miss, was no doubt
badly frightened by her sudden and un-
expected plunge into the icy Cedar. A
friendly hand was again near to rescue,
and this little girl also escaped unharm-
ed. 1t is necessary that watchful care
should be continually exercised by all
persons cutting holes in the ice, as, unless
they do, some of our children may,
through them, find watery grave.
