Correspondence Of The Free Lance
Bowling Green, Va, Feb 5, 1900
On Friday night, the 2nd inst, the
people from our little village and
vicinity began to flock to Wrighrs
town hall, where was given for the
joint benefit Of the Antioch Christian
and Calvary Baptist churches Of
Bowling Green, most delightful en-
tertainment. Long before the time
had arrived for the concert to begin
the hall was crowded and packed to
its utmost capacity. The program,
under the direction of Mrs w. j..
Peytou, Of Richmond, consisted of
twelve selections, most every one Of
which had to be repeated in response
to the loud and protrscted applause
Of the appreciatiye audience. Most
Of the selections were vocal music,
though, lest this might become
monotonous to some, several highly
interesting and ludicrous recitstions
were interpersed. The Davis Band
and Vocal Qusrtette were very fne,
and highly enjoyed. la fact, with
out going into detail and giving
copy Of the program, it can be well
and safely said that each and every
effort was perfect success, and the
whole entertainment was unanimous.
ly pronounced as being the most
credItsble and thoroughly enjoyable
one ever given in our town; and Ger.
tain it is that the two churches for
whose benefit the same was given, as
well as each individual who had the
privilege and pleasure Of attending,
are indebted to Mrs. w. j. Peyton
for the exceedingly expedient, judi.
cious and good management of the
whole affair, not by this expression
however intending the inference that
we are not grateful to each and
every one of the highly entertaining
party who accompanied her from
Richmond and took part in the en-.
tertsinment; nor can we fail to ex-
press our appreciation OF their iu-
yited guests inspiring presence. II
was indeed pleasure to all who en-
tertained any Of the party, and we
hope, and are promised, that We shall
in the not very distant future be
again tsyored by a repetition OF
like entertainment. Quite large
sum was realized, which will be
divided equally between the An.
tioch Christian and Calvary Baptist
churches. A

oleomargarine in Virginia,
The Charlottesville Progress 8

The Charlottesville Progress says:
Reading Of the government re-
port on the subject we observe that
l,159. 900 pounds Of oleomsrgsrine
were shipped to Virginia last year.
It was, Of course, consumed, and no
doubt relished as frst-clsss western
butter. But was it sold as butter
We doubt if SO, 900 pounds of it was
sold as oleomsrgsrine. There is no
legitimate ground for objection to
oleomargarine as such. We have
eaten it aud enjoyed it, and believe
it is wholesome food. But it is q
swindle to sell it as butter at butter
prices. We hope the Virginia law
will soon be changed to make it Grim
inal in this State to sell it under any
name but its own"
