CloverpOrt's Debutantes Delight
An Audience At The Pres.
byterian Church Tues.
day Night.
COMMENCEMENT GOWNS
AND ROSES.

The musicale given at the Presbyter
ian Church Tuesday night, June 80, was
in charge of Mrs. L. T. Reid who is a
leading light in musical circles and an
accomplished vocalist.
The space about the piano was beauti-
fully decorated with palms and fresh
flowers and made pretty setting for
the graceful figures of the performers
who in dainty commencement gowns de-
lighted the eyes as well as the ears of an
apreciative audience.
The program was rendered entirely
by the young girls, most of whom are
just home from school and some of whom
are making music speciality. A linn.
tied space prevents personal mention
of each singer and player but suffice il
: to say that each selection was good and
each member heartily applauded.
To those who are interested in the
musical progress of Cloverport, it is in
teresting and encouragingto realize that
the musical ranks are being swelled
with an abundant supply of fresh young
talent which if properly developed may
make our town musical center of some
local renown.

FEEBLE OLD ACE.
An Old And Respected Minister, Rev
John Crabtree, Outllves His
Usefulness.

HARDNsBURd, KY, July 3rd-Rev.
John Crabtree, living up ON the Louis
vile road, was brought here last Mon
day and sent to the asylum. The old
mans mind has been unbalanced for
some time and he was unable yes
terday to recognize any of his old ac-
quaintances.
Twenty-Five years ago Crabtree was
one of the leading Presbyterian preach
ers in the county. He has filed some
of the best points in the county and al
ways drew good crowd to hear him.
Out at old Freedom twenty years ago,
Crabtree could get up big religious
stir. He has witnessed hundreds Of con-
versions there and at other points where
he preached.
For sometime though the old man
has not been heard of much. He has
not preached any for about ten years.
He is now eighty and very feeble. he
has two sons who are preachers.
This trip to the asylum win likely end
his days SO far as we are concerned, and
when we next hear Of him he viii prob
ably have passed over the great river.
