A Pleasant Entsrta,pmsn.

The Welsh Presbyterian church was
comfortably filled last Friday, on the
occasion of the musical and literary en-
tertainment given by the members of
the Sunday school and others, under the
direction of Misses Lizzie A. Jones and
Sarah Evans. The program embraced
select readings, dialogues, declarations
and some most excellent singing. The
latter was particularly enjoyed, and
among the numbers which we regard as
specially worthy of praise may be men
toned: A quintette by Messrs. Tom
Lewis, E ]. Owens, David Rowlands,
John Jones and w. j. Williams; Duet
rendered in an admirable manner
by Miss Lizzie A. Jones and
D. o. Jones; beautiful solo and quartet
by Messrs. E. j. Owens, John jones' MISS
Lizzie A Roberts and David Rowlands;
q comic duct by Messrs. E. j. Owens
and w. ]. Williams, not TO speak of
many other creditable productions.
Miss Jones is great favufile in must
cal circles, and the excellent quality of
her voice coupled with careful training
always render her numbers a treat to
lovers OF vocal music. Mr. Owens, who
is a comparative stranger in Emporia,
has very fine voice and evinces a
thorough knowledge of the science OF
harmony, while the attachments of Tom
Lewis, ID. o. Jones aud John Jones in
this direction are too we'll known to re-
quIre extended comment
A very pleasant feature of the enier.
tainment was the presentation, by the
Sunday school of two handsome ink
stands and gold pens. one to Miss Lizzie
A Jones, and the other to Miss Sarah
Evans Rev. John Jones made the
offerings in behalf of the school, and q
neat response was made by Miss Jones
The literary exercises were very cred

hearty appreciation of the efforts put
forth to please them.
The net proceeds of the enteriainmcn
are reported 10 be about twenty five dol
lars, which will go towards purchasing
a new library for the Sunday school.
