of ladies and gentlemen engaged in dancing,
and all seemed TO be happy.
While in Oakland last Monday the Rose
burg band called on our worthy and highly es-
teemed teacher Miss Lucy Hay and treated
her to several pieces of excellent music. A
fitting compliment worthily bestowed.
How few are the words Of commendation
spoken in the different departments o! life in
comparison to the fault finding ones. There
are very few times and places where words Of
commendation may not be used to great ad-
vantage; and there is always some good in
everybody that the tact of kind heart may
bring into notice byjust such words.
The entertainment given at Browns hall on
last Friday evening by the ''home TALENT
was well attended, the opening song of greet
ing by the entire troupe was well rendered.
The duet "One Of the the sweet old chap.
tiers" by Mrs. Alice Henderson, and Miss
Alice Moore was one of the best rendered
pieces we have ever heard in Oakland, and
deserves special mention. The solo by Mr..
Greed Chenoweth was we'll received. "Better
than Gold" presented by the troupe was car
ried out with striking force and in manneI
that gave thorough understanding Of the
moral intended. The cast Of characters wa.
well studied, each performer carrying theil
part through with ease. We hope the ''homs
talent" will be permanent feature in the fu
ture and that they may favor US often.
RoXANA.
