Prof. Druckenmiller gave an entertainment,
the like of which has never been seen in
Townsend. Seventy children were on the
stage at one time, which made q very
pretty sight. The girls were dressed in
white, some with pink and Others with
blue sashes, the boys in white shirt waists
and dark pants with red sashes. Our girls
and boys did grandly and we feel proud of
them, and considering the short time they
had to prepare it was simply wonderful.
The entertainment consisted of vocal and
instrumental music. The jubilee was re-
peated Wednesday evening by request. We
hope the Prof win visit us again and give
us another Of his pleasing entertainments.
