Barbcrton, April 20.--All the musical |
diettant of Barberton attended the
concert given by tile Chorus club at
the United Brethren church last even.
ing. .
1t was the clubs initial appearance
and was social and financial success |
in every detail. Too much praise can
not be given to Mrs. Il. II. Baker, di'
rectress OF the club who has worked
tirelessly for several weeks.
In short the concert last night marks
an epoch in the social affairs. IL was
the corner stone of the musical struc-
ture that promises TO be erected.
The fact was established that there
is enough good material to make the
club permanent and ii is hoped their
concerts will come more often.
Il Mrs. Lizzie Davis Donnely sang Ar
ditis waltz and was applauded TO the
echo, and responded to an encore. She
possesses a ranEy clear soprano voice
and was awarded the honors of the
occasion. Miss Nina Belford sang
! "rhe Journey Is Long" ana acquitted
herself admirably well. In fact each
number on the program was well re-
ceiyed ns was evidenced by the vocif-
crous applause.
The sdloon keepers are indignant.
Mayor McNamar, according to law, has
issued the usllnl proclamation to close
the saloons Saturday on account of the
election on the school bond question.
This Is the saloonsts' biggest day, but
tomorrow II wonld cyA-, pc better be-
cause all tic shops pay. They have
held several conferences, but have not
decided what to do about keeping open.
1t Is safe To say. that ut least half u
dozen will not close, and will stand a
suit il arrested. Some are inclined to
think that il is not election because no
candidates are running for office.
Those Of that opinion, however. are
in error according TO the lawyers.
