i wish to say before closing, that in
my humble Judgment, a Conference
never had better and more appropriate
music titan was rendered by the choir.
1t was happy blending of the old and
the new, and just such Il blending as

ical development is but one Of the out
Groupings Of the Ouancock schools.
What blessing these schools arel They
should have hundreds upon their rolls.
For your own good patronlze them.
Some Of the visitors united With the
choir. Together with others noted j.
w. Nelms of Newport News. Won
derful are the results OF culture. A
sLittlefell' produced music Of tho high.
