Our Orchestra.

Bristol Courier
The Bristol orchestra went down to
Johnson City on last Friday morning
and gave a concert in that place on
the same night.
The young men constituting this
orchestra say that they never played
before a more intelligent and appre-
~c;ative audience than the one that
greeted them at Jobe's opera house.
Perfect order was maintained through
out the program, and the ceaseless
jabbering which the average audience
INDUCES in was conspicuously absent,
Every part ofthe program passed off
smoothly. Mr.. McMillin's violin solo
was especially pleasing TO the audi
ence, and received a hearty encore.
Altar the concert Was over, the or
chestra was taken around to the San
Marco restaurant and treated TO u
royal supper, which all present enjoy
ed hugely. The next morning the
party were driven about the city in
carriages and took in all of the new
Carnegie addition, which will soon be
the most attractive part of the city.
They returned home Saturday even
ing after having spent a most delight
ful time in that place They wish to
return sincere thanks to Messrs,
Crumley, Duncan and Summers, who
were The principal Of their going
down, and at the same time those
who exerted themselves in a special
manner to make their stay a most
pleasant and agreeable one.
