PROF. GEORGE B. HYNsON, of Philadel-

structor in elocution at Delaware College,
his work requiring his presence only one
day in each week. Mr.. Hynson was for
merly from Milford and has risen quite
rapidly in his profession until he now
holds a similar post in two educational
instituti'n ms in Philadelphia and one in
Baltimore. In addition to all these he
has been elected principal of the National
School of oratory (Shoemaker's) in Phil
adelphia-his duties to commence there
next summer. This very important
branch of instruction has been totally ne

it will be a source of qualification to many
students to have the opportunity of re-

WHY not get the Norma Glee Club to
sing in Milford for the benefit of either
the library or the fire companY2 They
gave an entertainment in Doyer and Mid
dletown this month, at which they were
assisted by Miss Bessie Davis of this town
The Sentinel last week spoke as follows
of her singing:
Miss Bessie Davis, OF Milford, who as
sisted the Glee, was in superb voice. She
sang like nightingale. Her voice, rich,
sweet, smooth, round and full in the high
as we'll as the middle and low register, is
held under excellent command. She cap
tured her audience before she had sung
eight bars of 'ThOu Art an Angel" She
was appauded to the echo, and responded
with 1.-THE Old Wooden Rocker" in
which she accompanied herself OH the
guitar. She was called again, but the
third time appeared aud bowed her ac
acknowledgement very gracefully. When
Miss Davis appeared in the second part
nf the program she was greeted with
hearty round of applause. Her interpre-
tation Of ''Wnoing" was very fine as was
demonstrated by the hearty reception
rendered her She was obliged to re-
spond again, wien she sang Carrie Lee"
with guitar accompaniment. Miss Davis
has made an excellent impression in
Dover, and takes with her the best wishes
of our musical people.
