A musical concert given in the Female
College Chapel last Friday night signalized
the close of the two weeks session of Prof.
A. J. Showalter's singing school at this
place. The entertainment included q
lengthy and varied program, and was par
ticipated in by the entire class and by
number of visitors, who had been in at
tendance upon the Normal Singing School,
at Salem. Choruses, jubilee songs, solos,
quartets and productions were intermingled
in manner calculated to make the large
audience who listened attentively thereto,
oblivious of the passage of time and con-
scious of being permeated with the very
spirit of melody. The excellence of rendi.
ton displayed by the members of the class
WIS practical exemplifcation of Prof.
Showalter's thorough method of teaching
and of the benefit to be derived from his
tute!age. A male chorus entitled "Wanita,' =
humorous song, "Mary and Martha" and
a solo by Miss Sue Watson of Salem, at
tracted special attention, the call for arcpe-
tition aof MARY sand Martha" which was
produced blythe visitors from Salem, show
Ing in what appreciation it was held.
Prof. Showalter has given entire satisfac.
ton to his pupils here, and the thanks of
the lovers Of good music are. due Mr.. ]. l..
Haynie, as 'twas largely by his efforts that
the Prof's attendance was secured.
The annual Election for Town Council
to serve the honorable corporation Of
Williamson was held on Monday. With
the exception of vigorous button-holing
of voters, on the part of the friends of the
two tickets which were in the field, very
little departure was made from the quiet
that is wont to, prevail in the streets. Of
the two tickets, the one headed by DR.. j..
W. Crymes, for Intendant, received the
support, Of the administration" or the
incumbent Council, while the other, with
DR.. B. F. Brown at its head, Was advocated
by those who favored an out-and. out new
DEAL" No issues Of Importance were in
volved, and the lives and property of the
citizens were. by no means endangered by
the election of either ticket, composed as
they both were of good men, The result Of
the contest was as follows: Intendant DR..
B. f. Brown Wardens, W. L. Prince,
Austin w. Clement, T. B. Crymes, j. M.
Lander; School Trustees, J. e. Pickel, j..

Miss Matte Lee Price, of Barlow County,
Georgia, rival of Lula Hurst, in the
display of miraculous powers" gave an
exhibition at this place, on Monday night.
Miss Price is prepossessing in appearance, is
fifteen years of age and weighs 110 pounds.
In her exhibition here, she succeeded in
overcoming the combined strength of the
stoutest men the town could afford, and
The close of her display only left the audi
ence in greater uncertainty than before,
concerning the source of the power she so
evidently displays. Messrs. J. W. Dacus,
Thos. j. Martini R. L. Hogg and others
| who could boast of less ayoirdupois, failed
and were compelled to -incontinentlyT "sit
down." Prof. W. L. Lander made test
with the most delicate instruments known
to science, and was unable to detect the
least electricity in the manifestations oi
Miss Prices "power." T. E. Fl.
