The exercises were very interesting
Friday night, but god many MEM
bers were absent, which we hope will
not happen again. The first exercise
was the song THAT Young Man across
the Way" sung very nicely by Docia
Young. Matte Myers, Anna Pickell
and Clara WCl:h. Alice Hendricks
then read an excellent essay, Look
Before you Leap" Eugene Talcott
called his paper the Bombsheu and
made it very entertaining. Dee Ar
nod next read in good style a piece
called Perseverance" The dialogue.
which.as usual was one of the best
parts, closed the literary exercises.
The critics, Percy Harris, Will Neigh
bOrs and EugeneTalcOtt, reported. We
think the criticisms were too severe
So long as criticisms are friendly and
judicious they do great good, but if the
office is used to show off superior
knowledge. or hurt the feelings of one
you do not like, it is very dangerous.
Members of societies can not be too
careful of each Others feelings in this
matter.

The Spy of 4 tlaata.

We go to press as the first presenta-
ton of the Spy of Atlanta is being
given. From witnessing several full
rehearsals, we are able To give an idea
of what may be expected.
The cast of characters il exceedingly
we'll taken-better, Mr.. Dobbs says,
than he has ever had elsewhere. Mr..
Dobbs himself, in the character Of
Edward 81. Clair, the confederate cap
tain and. villain, takes the part most
etfectually. He makes you hate him
for his cruelty and vindictiveness, and
at tae same time forces your admira-
ton for his GOODNESS and bravery. 1t
is an exceedingly difficult role to take
in all its phases. Mr.. Dobbs proves
himself equal to it. He is master of
himself on the stage, and has the fac
ulty, rare in amateurs, of causing YOU
to forget the man in the character.
Mr.. Devendorf, as Schneider, tie fun
ny Dutchman, We cannot characterize
any better than by that great big
word "immense." We can't describe
him. Come and see for yourself. If
you enjoy hearty laugh you are sure
to be more than gratified. His comic
songs alone will more than pay you.
Mr.. G. F. Leonard, as Pete, the
''culled gemm'n," ''does the African"
In good style.
We haven't space to notice the
home support as extensively as We
would like. Mr.. &. NJ. Simpsons adj
mirable rendition Of the leading char
acter Of Edwin Dalton, the union spy,
is the subject of universal comment.
1t is hard tn believe that Mr.. Simpson
is new hand at the boards. Mr..
Slower commands the union troops,
and it is needless to say that this is
one of the finest and most impressive
parts of the play. The ladies taking
part are Misses Trego, Carrie Ellis and
Olive Smith, of Geneva, and they all
do well. The other parts are ereditably
taken. The tableaux are magnificent.
They alone are well worth the price of
admission. A number of Iola's bright
est girls take part in these. Every
body should come out. Aside from
aiding home Institution, you will get
your moneys worth.

Mr.. Beck will erect a fine two story
