Editor HAZEL GREEN HERALD:
Dear Sir: Through the columns of your
enterprising paper will you grant me the
opportunity to express my views in re-
gard to the entertainment here by the
Evolutionary and Glee Club of your town
on the night Of the 10Th inst? Such a
scene so worthily so effectively perform
ed is worthy of the praise, commenda-
ton, attention and encouragement of all
talented striving people. As pronoun-
ced success in every respect, it is typical,
and demonstrates conclusively the abili-
ty, aspiring genius and evolutionary
training of the speakers, who rendered
general satisfaction-which success well
may be centered upon and attributed to
the faculty of the Hazel Green Academy,
from which have sprung two prize'win-
ming orators, to- whom the people point
with honor and are justly proud.
The people showed their civility and
appreciation of such things by giving
them a large and attentive crowd. Oh,
allow me to express my appreciation, for
/ will but voice the sentiments of all !!
The programme consisted of singing,
declarations, etc. The singing, vocal,
was very sweet, very emulating, very
pleasing, and, indeed, thrillingly voiced.
Doubtless the noticeable feature and the
most captivating, was part of this club
(the ladies, you know who were arrayed
mostly in white attire. Lo; it was diff
cult to tell whether there was person
of Mary or Borgia in it, or not. Vir-
tually, it must have been more of a
natural than common thing with them
to sing in the most silvery tones. The
deep, subtitle, rotund voices of the young
men, similar, | imagine, to the tones of
the angelic bands, produced on the
trumpet of fame and glory, were equally
admired and enjoyed.
The declarations, acclaimed by both
the young ladies and men, were well
delivered, relative and declaratory to
Evolutionary training and practice, an
art in which much interest should be
manifested, certainly one in which the
speakers displayed much knowledge,
great power and forensic force. 1t would
be discourte0us or unbecoming to men
ton any special one in this; however,
my mind is concentrated upon one-H.
G. Lacy-whose subject was "Pyramids
not all Egyptian" He handled his sub
ject with perfect ease, in forcible, cap
tivating way. The mode of his gestures
was the noticeable part; and his rich,
clear voice struck the heart of the aud
fence like sweetheart love-pleasing and
satisfying. In him we recognize Oratori-
cal talent, and ere long may the halo of
his fame spread from ocean to ocean,
eliminating here and there in blaze of
glory.
Such an occasion Is one long To be re-
membered, for it is characteristic and a
standing vindication of what the schools
in the mountains of Kentucky are doing
in the way of educating the masses of the
people and bringing them into the true
light of civilization and manhood. The
people of the mountains are not so deep
in the slums of ignorance as is often and
enormously thought, but that they will
surely climb the rugged, vine. clad hills
till they reach her sun.capped SUBMITS
of fame and knowledge, Mark the pre-
diction. So mote it be.
To the "Glee Club" | make my mod
est bow and conclude, as your scribe, Mr..
Editor, will doubtless give you the de-
tails. Very truly yours,
