Shelton was the principal character on
the stage and is perhaps the youngest
soloist that ever sang to an audience,
being only years old. His piece was
most difficult one, but he proved to
be master of the situation and per-
formed his part well. At first he was
little overcome by stage fright, but
this soon passed off Then, in a low
but audible voice, he sang the beautiful
piece, which elected much applause
from the entire audience. 1t was
grand.
Don't get indignant because we did
not get any extra papers for you last
week. We will have them this week
for YOU, but we would much rather
that YOU would subscribe. You should
read every issue out
Walter Davis received quite an injury
to one of his hands the other day. AS
he was getting off of the train he
slipped and fell and in some way his
hand was caught between two ratings
and badly bruised.
Charlie Harris came very near having
his eyes put out the other evening while
working at the Balinggall hotel. An
electric light bursted and filed his eyes
with fine glass, which was very pain
full A physician was called and he
soon got relief At this writing he is
much improved.
A move is on foot to get up a mock
congress at the A. M. E. Church. We
hope this idea will be carried out. If
rightly conducted it will prove to be a
great benefit to the young men who
| desire to know more about national
affairs.
The Bazaar entertainment to be given
at the A. Nj. E. church on the 25th and
goth promises to be avery fine display
of art 1t will be conducted by the
Ladies' Antiquarian Club.
