DECIDED SUCCESS
Was the Entertainment at the

The entertainment given at the Christian church last night was one that proved most enjoyable to those who were present. The leading talent of the city participated and the selections were rendered in a very pleasing manner.
 But the leading feature of the en- tertainment was the rare treat af- forded the hearers by the voice of unusual depth and sweetness possess ed by Mrs. Harry Shoemaker, of Charleston, H. Mrs Shoemaker's voice is, indeed, one of rare power and beauty, which added to an at tractiye personality tends to make her singing even more delightful
 On the whole the entertainment proved to be both financial and ar tistic success and the ladies of the Christian church are to be eongratu- lated in having secured the efficient help of those whose names appear on the program at last nights entertain ment
