Missionary Concert at the White House

The guests of the White House were
very highly entertained Friday night,
for one hour, by a concert gotten up
entirely by Annie MERLE Barber and
Maudkand Mabel White, assisted by
Lou Nesmith. The exercises consist
ed of recitations and tableaux which
would have done credit to girls of l6.
1t was an original, voluntary thought
of these young missionaries; and those
who gathered in the hall to witness it
were really aud truly entertained. The
exercises closed by an original speech
from Annie MERLE, in which she said,
'and especially do we thank you for
contributions to the missionary
cause" ONE PREsENv.

A large and enthusiastic crowd
turned out at Storms Park Friday
evening to see the game of ball be
tween the Cohn 4 Bers, of New Or
leans and Brookhaven. 1t was an ex-
citing game from start to finish, the
pitching of Smith, for Brookhaven,
and the back-stop work of Gotten be-
ing exceptionally good. Smylie An
derson on short also made some most
brilliant plays, while the rest of the
team we'll supported them. This was
the first time in the history of the
Cohn & Beers that they have been shut
out.

an advantage over the teachers which
does not fail to secure desired results.
The advantages of having such an in
