DAIRY MAIDS DRILL, GYPSY CAMP AND
CHORUS, VOCAL AND Instrumental
MUSIC, REGULATIONS. &c.
A Brilliant and Successful Enter
tainment.

Although the people of Clifton Forge
have witnessed within the past six
months a number of splendid entertain
ments, principally by home talent, none
in our humble opinion have surpassed
that given Friday night last in the MAJ
sonic Hall, under the auspices of the
ladies of the Baptist Church. Several
features of the programme were strik-
inclv UNIQUE, and when this is the case,
the audience is generally amused and
entertained.
AS prelude to the opening OF the ems
tertainment, an Instrumental selection
was rendered by Miss Katie Alley and
Mr.. A. K. Bowles, after which the crown
ing performance of the evening-the
"Dairy Maids Drill"-began. This was
participated in by Mrs. Carcaud as Cap
tain, who has been thoroughly trained
in military maneuvers, as was evidenced
by the graceful movements OF the at
tractve young ladies under her com
mand. These bewitching Dairy Maids,
dressed in characteristic costumes, with
pals and stools, were Misses j oslo Payne,
Emily Taylor. Mrs Fizer, Misses Blanche
Matthews, Mary Taylor, Lizzie Murray,
Bessie Payne, May Woodson, Annie
Sims, Enola Ham, Hettie Ham, Lillian
Thomas, Bessie Woodson, He.en Whit
lock, Jennie Byrd, and Nora Mckenna
each one ilnrersonating the character
of a light hearted Dairy Maid" in an
admirable manner All concerned in
this production. from the graceful, hand
some Captain to the humblest Maid,
richly deserve highest commentator.
At the close of the drill, Miss Lillian
Goodwin rendered a charming solo, en-
titled, Never Take No for an Answer"
Then came recitation by Miss Lillian
Jenkins of Richmond, niece of Mrs. Car
caud, who pleased the audience with
shaded Tree-Babbling Brook, giving
evidence of careful training. AT its con
clusion. the "Gypsy Camp and Chorus
in three acts-was introduced. This
was Il striking portrayal of Gypsy lifa in
Camp" sFortme Telling and the
s'Soldier's Fate" which was given in a
manner that would have been creditable
to professionals.
matrimonial Sweets" came next, a
vocal duet by Miss Bessie Payne and
Mr. Edward Wright, who sang never so
sweetly.
With clliId-like grace and simplicity,
Miss Daisy Payne rendered the lullaby
song, "Rock-a- By Baby"
Then appeared Mother Goose" in the
person of Miss Josie Payne with her nus
merous family at little "dots"-all of
whom were obedient children.
When they had disappeared the
"Good Night chorus was well rendered
by the entire company, and thus closed
creditable and successful entertain>
ment, given, with one exception, exclu-
sively by home talent. We congratulate
one and all.

exercise OF constant vigilance that the
officers could keep the children from
getting their fingers on what little
money WAS among the debris.

matter OF comment that no fire alarm
box nearer than the Atlantic engine

opinion seemed to be that box should
be placed ut that corner for the proiec-
