d Owing to the fact that diphtheri
+ was threatening the various towns @
p the county, it was with much difficult
It that the committee on music secures
8 the promise of musical talent In thi
IS emergency the committee of which tn
e writer was member, urged upon Super
e intendent Russelps family to furnisl
all the music that circumstance woul'
allow. It was with sense of modest,
L that they hesitated to have their name
l. appear SO often on the programme; bu
It their music was first class throughout
e and the musical attainments of thes
L young ladies reflect great credit on
t their mother who taught them.
