LIE entertainments, given dt Tue
opera house on Saturday night of

and highly appreciated by the audi

The program was rendered without
the slightest mistake, and reflected
great credit on those having it in
charge.
The opening quartette, SO, Give
Me My Own Native Isle," was sung
by Miss Maggie Redding, E. I. Mil
Ter and II. L. Mann, with Miss ANNE
Grinstead's obligate solo, making
the quartette both pleasing and ef-
fective.
Miss Fannie Lays recitation of
'Aunt Melissa on Boys captured
the audience, and met with hearty
encore. Miss Fannie, by the way, is
an amateur elocutionist of marked
ability, and never fails to please her
hearers.
Major VIM. II. Lewis fascinated
the audience by the splendid rendi-
ton of three recita atoms, "The Rum
Maniac" Shamus O'Brien" and "He
and She"
E. L. Miller sang a solo entitled,
"The Raft" by special request. Ed
has soft, rich voice and sang ''The
Raft" with much pathos.
The instrumental solo, Sonata

trancingly produced by Miss Maud
Mann, and left delightful impress
ion upon the audience.

was recited in her usual vivacious
and witty style, and took the audi

"Larboard Watch" sung by r. D..
Edwards and E. e. Miller, was pos
tive musical treat They met with

that they appeared for the second
time and, with the assistance of I'll.
L. 5fann, warbled trio, a comic
song, entitled '-De Camptown Race
Track" " which was also well received
The instrumental trio by Misses
Anne Grinstead, Maggie Redding and
Maud Smith was delightful, and
charmed everyone present who had
an appreciation for good music.
"Tke Convicts Christmas Eve" was
most pleasingly recited by Miss Net
tie Moore, who already has quite an
enviable local reputation as an elo-
cutionist.
Miss Maude Smith, Keytesville's
nightingale, ,charmingly sang 1.-The
Broken Pitcher" and several hearty
rounds of applause brought her to
the stage again when she quite as
eharmingly sang "Tit for Tat"

Come Again No More," was feelingly
sung by r. d. Edwards, II. L. Mann
and E. L. Miller, Mr.. Edwards sing
ing the solo, and Messrs. Mann and

The evenings entertainment was
most thoroughly enjoyed, and net
ted the neat sum of ; for the Pub
lie School library.
Prof. Colem an desires us to extend
his sincere thanks to the ladies and
gentlemen who took part in the en-
tertainment, and also to the audi
ence for their liberal patronage.
The entertainments success was
largely due to Miss Maud Mann and
E. T. Miller, who conducted the music,
and displayed much taste in the mu-
sicial selections for the evening.
There is no reason why such pleas
ant occasions as the school ntertain-
ment of last Saturday night should
not occur more frequent in Keytes-
vile.
