An ice cream social VIII be given
| by the South Speaker Sunday school in
the school house, on Wednesday, July
20 for the benefit of the Sunday school.
A good program will be prepared con-
sisting of readings, recitations, vocal
and instrumental music. Lots Of ice
cream for all who may attend. All
are cordially invited to attend.
The ice cream festival at Mrs. j.
MOore's, Brockway, Thursday night
last, was very pleasant occasion,
specially enlivened with vocal and
instrumental music, led by Miss Nc
Lellan, Miss Nanorman and Miss But
ler. Others joined in the singing. 1t
was a social and financial success.
The net proceeds amounted to $50.
About 200 of ouI citizens took in
the Tennesseeans by hanging on the
fences around the outside OF course
the building not beng boarded on the
outside and only lathed on the inside,
they received the benefit of the enter
tainment although they could not sec
the singers as well as if they had been
in the hall. We are surprised that
any of our respectable citizens would
demean themselves in this way for we
look upon it as one source of stealing.
The Tennesseeans gave their en-
tertainment, rs advertised, in Michaels
Hall last evening to a good sized au-
dience. Their singing was. to say the
least, perfectly immense. All who at
tended speak very highly of the COM
pany. Mr.. Waters tenor solo was
splendid and also was "the King cried
Daniel" Il melody led by Mr.. Jones.
Mr.. Coleman's bass solo was extraor-
In os,
is excelled by none and and unequalled
by many. The ladies all showed cul-
ture in their voices. Taking every
thing into consideration the entertain
ment was SIMPLY grand and if ever
they come to this town again they will
receive crowded house. They play
at Memphis tonight. We thank all
our friends who so literally patron
lied this venture Of ours and we hope
that sometime in the future we may
be able to get this or another troupe
of equally refined character. to make
this town visit.
