MISSES NASH AND MISS
kOILOCk'S SCHOOL.
4 Brilliant Success.

lie Misses NASH anu Miss MOI
.ock as is their custom At the close
Of the Spring term of their School,
gave a musical entertainment on
evening. June 22nd. a,
II. Masonic Lodge. The Concert
was under the direction OF Mrs
Mary Nash, whose proficiency and
success as q teacher Of music, as
sured every one that the exercises
would be highly entertaining. Many
visitors and patrons came in on the
trains TO he present, among whom
We noticed Mrs. William and Mrs.
Robert Bingham, both Of when

and Mrs. Harris and Mrs. Tankers
ley of Chapel Hill, young gentlemen
from Durham, Chapel Hill and Ora
ham, who cannot be mentioned in
our short space. Many came in
from the country around. All these
together with the villagers, repre-
senting the flower and ~chivaIry" Of
central North Carolina, went to
make up an excellent audience.
T Long before the entertainment con
menccd the hall, although of mod
! crate capacity, was crowded TO over
flowing. Many were compelled to
stand in the windows while others
remained on the outside so eager
were all to catch the dulcet strains
OF the hour. In this enlightened
and refined audience, of course critics
were in abundance, but we noticed
that almost all, long before the ex-
ercises were concluded, had lost the
tenor of impartial critics and had
become enthusiastic admirers OF the
taste and talent SO marvelously dis
played by both teacher and pupil.
The programme was not strictly ad'
hered to owing to the sickness OF
Miss Atwater, who was TO have ap.
peared in two solos. Many, who
had, on former occasions, enjoyed
the pleasure of listening to her
beautiful voice were greatly disap-
j, pointed by her absence. The stage,
which was beautifully fes,ooned,
should have been seen TO be appre-
ciatcd.
The first part Of the programme
was opened by Misses Kirkland, L.
Williamson, b. Holt and N. Will
hanson 10 "Boccaccio," which was

OF the audience, which was admira
