The May Parry Ct Tornvillo.

TowHyILLE, May 9th.
Several hundred people witnessed the
May Party at the Academy last evening,
and the verdict of all Is that 1t was most
brilliant and enjoyable occasion. The cor
onation scene was enacted OH beautifully
carpeted and festooned stage in front OF the
Academy, and the assemblage listened ct
tentiyely to the rendition of the entire pro-
gramme.
The fair young Queen, Miss sallie A.
McCarley, elected to that regal honor by
her school-mates, acted her part with much
grace, eliciting eacomiums from oil. Mos
ter Eddie sitton, the Queens Herald,
proved himself quite equal 60 the occasion,
and Miss Suiiie Woolbright as 1st Maid of
Honor, Miss Kate Simpson as End Maid of
Honor, Miss Matte McCarley as Spring,
Miss Dora Gaines as Summer, Miss Matte
Hardin as Autumn, Miss Anna Hunter as
Winter, Miss Hattie Suttles as Faith, Miss
Mary Tribble as Hope, Hiss Carrie Brown
as Charity, and Miss Gussie Sitton as Gipsy
Fortune Teller, acted the parts assigned
them almost faultlessiy, and each received
much praise from .he delighted audience.
a number OF little fiC 1er girls also deserve
mention for their attrac.ivenesS apon the
stage.
The very excellent music rendered by
Mrs. Clara Hewitt and Miss Fannie Ham
mond. as organists, and DIR. ]. B. Brown, as
violinist, was q most enjoyable feature of
the occasion.
And it is bat just to add that the incep-
ton of the May Party is due to Mrs, DR.. J.
B. Brown, and that its complete success -
attributable to her untiring labors and sp ., :.
rior taste and skill.
To give lively and appropriate s'finish
up to the coronation, dance, participated
in by nearly all the young people, was had
in the Academy, but II o'clock midnight
found everybody dreaming sweetly of the
happy accomplishment of Townville's first
