The meeting to have been held in the
grand jury room in the court house on Fri
day evening to organize philharmonic
society was postponed to some evening
next week, which will be decided by the
committee at a meeting to be held by that
body before Monday evening. The reason
for postponing the meeting was due to the
absence of one or two members of the com
mittee and tie enforced absence of others.
That there is a lively interest in this move
ment is obvious and when the singers and
other interested parties can meet, which,
because of the numerous other happenings
at this time seem to make 1t well nigh i'm
| possible the matter OF organizing will be
taken up and quickly disposed of. Keep
| the matter OF meeting next week well in
mind.
