Miss Ida L. Gilbert, pianist gave a
grand concert in the public school hall Mon
day night, which was largely offended. The
Southern Jubilee Singers participated. IL
was lovely affair. and was well rendered.
Prof. Gilbert's little five year year old son,
Stanley, took the general applause. That
of Religious plantation songs, as sung in the
slavery days, and classical of high order,
solos, trios and quartettes, consisting of some
of the latest of new music, sentimental and
patriotIc,were all good. But the way young
Stanley sung and acted those tender loye
songs might well make susceptible maiden
long to be a primd donna, that he might
play "Gwslielow" to her "Mignon."
"A religious meeting Of praise and pray
er was held in the Evangelical church,

The Sabbath schools of our several de-
nominations are engaged IN making prepa.
rations for Christmas aud New Year, those
universal holidays, which are kept IN every
cline and hailed with delight by those in
every station which Gil the hearts of child
hood with pure and unalloyed pleasure,and
bring, even TO the old and careworn, some
thing of "the tender grace of day that is
dead" A pleasant time is anticipated.
We regret to record the death OF our
much respected citizen, Mr.. Israel Meyer,
who died Sunday morning, after severe
illness of few days. Mr.. Mover was al
ways a healthy and strong man, but the
march OF Death is relentless, universal !;
none can escape it. Let us then so live that
the grim monarch will be greeted as our
truest friend, that he will but unbar for us
the portals leading 20 glorious immortality
Deaths but path that must be trod,
If ever man would pass to God"
With this, "Ike," bids adieu to the
many readers of the ADVOCATE until after
the holidays. We look forward with delight
to the time when we shall again meet our
friends through the medium of the ADyo
CATE. Meanwhile, our sincere wish is for
the Editors health, happiness and long con-
| tinuance in his career OF usefulness. Xxx.

to ferret out the guilty party. As this has
not been the first time that attempts have
been made in this manner, 10 defame the
characters of some of our best citizens, We
heartily hope he will be successful. In our
opinion, individuals that will tear up dow

aud geese, aud write dastardly lies about
people (who, in Ints lleclual and moral at
taiuments, are as far above them as the SKIS

How . Boys Toe Caught a Mullet.

The other day, two sons of Capt. Bill
Davis, of this city, and the well known
conductor on the Sunset Route, went
down to Galveston to spend few days.
A younger brother was at the time in
the Island City, and after looking about
town it was proposed to run down to
the beach and take a bath. The three
brothers prepared for the swim, but
while the younger one trotted along to-
ward the great waste of waters, leaving
his clothing high and dry behind him,
he stumped his toe on an oyster-shell.
and it bled freely. The white-crested
waves were rolling high and roaring
loud as the three boys dashed into tho
heaving pillows. Proceeding some dis
lance from the shore, the younger
brother felt something pulling at the toe
he had stumped just before he had
plunged in. He cried for help. Help
came, his two faithful and brave
brothers rushing to the rescue. They
took him by the arms, and without in
curing what was the matter, dragged
him toward the shore, when the tide
ebbed and left the there brothers high
and dry, and large mullet in the same
fix, clinging to the stumped toe. The
mullet was secured and served up for
supper, the boys feeling considerably
elated over the fun they had experienced,
and the amusement afforded by the
younger of the three using his toe as
bait to catch mess of fish.-iSan Anto-
