ENTERTAINMENTS.
Polk Miller.

Polk Mlller's entertainment at the
Institute last Saturday evening was
an event not soon to be forgotten by
those who were in attendance. For
more than an hour Mr.. Miller kept
his audience in an almost continual
laugh by his recital of old planta-
ton stories, negro songs and banjo
selections, and when he had fin
ished one could not help feeling that
the time had passed away altogether
too quickly. AS delineator of the
negro character Mr.. Miller has few,
If any, equals, as those who have
heard him can testify. His stories
and songs have quaintness and
genuineness about them that does
not fail to catch the attention and
win the applause of his hearers.
He has a particular fondness for the
old-time Southern darkey, and
seems to delight in telling of "de
good ole times befo' de war;" when
the negroes lived in contented peace
and happiness on the old planta-
ton, and "ole Marster and Mistress"
took care of them and fed them as
il they had been members of the
family. While his recitals furnish
a high degree of entertainment and
make one laugh until his sides ache,
there is also underlying them a mis-
sion that one does not fail to recog-
nize and appreciate-that of en-
tightening the minds of the younger
generation on the happy state in
which the negroes lived during
slavery time, and the kindness with
which they were treated by their
owners.
Miss Mary McFall entertained a
number of her friends in a most
delightful manner last Friday even
ing. Several hours were happily
spent in playing euchre and croki'
mole, and songs and recitations by
several of those in attendance added
to the pleasure of the evening. The
following were present: Misses
Irene Williams, Edith O'Neil o.
Provine; Messrs. Bledsoe Brown
John Sowell, Spencer .McFall, Har
din Thomas, Jones Bunch, Theo
