The Brookhaven leader. [volume] (Brookhaven, Miss.) 1883-1891, 1884-06-19

none COUlu DC more so IMAM We're lnoSc Oh
the above occasion. The essay of Nrs.
Piker was exceptionally StrOHg ana able,
and Mrs. Chrisman and MIS-. WiilOughby,
Brookhaven's sweet singers, never more
richly deserved the name of nghtinGales.
Miss Campbelfs essay possessed much of
real merit, while Miss Minnie collier well
sustained her deseTvedly high rank as
an elocutiOnist. The address of Ia.
Lomax, though last, was by no means the
least important an interesting feature of
the programme. 1t was full of sound
practical sense, scholarly and polished
and, at times, tnuchingly pathetic and
eloquent.

The music which, all along, had been
of the finest quality seemed to have here
reached the climax of sweetness, artistic
execution and soul-stilring harmony. The
execution of Lies Huguenots," by 6e
hands on different kinds of Instruments
and of The overture Fra Diavolo by 12C
hands on different kinds of instruments,
was truly grand. Too much praise cannot
be awarded the corps of music teachers
of Whitworth, composed of Prof. and MIS-
and Mrs. J. IL. willoughby. Each has q
distinct and separate work, and yet when
their classes are brought together, 1.-THE
concord of sweet sounds" is harmonious tc
a degree that is inspiring, as was amply
demonstrated on the above and all Other
occasions during commencement week.
The violin performances of Misses Katie
johnson and Retta RUSSELL on this IS vel
appeared are deserving of special mention
Miss Katie is musical genius, and hel
proficiency in this department was so grea
that size was awarded the medal as thu
best instrumental performer by common
consent without competitor.
The execution of the Spanish BALLAD
was true to nature and mirth-provokin:
and the recitations were all well-reDdered
those of misses Wilkinson and Kittrel
especially so. Though not on the pro
gramme, Miss Miriam Crutcher recitet
again by special request her recitation o
Friday night, and as before, carried he'
hearers by storm.aDd won fresh laurels a
an elocutionist of superior gifts.
