FOR THE PIANO FUND.
II Was Good To Be There, In The Studio,
At The Entertainment.

If we Monroe people would
only get our minds off of "EIec
trio Lights aud Water Works."
and think Il bit, we would find
we had lots to be proud ol. at
least we who were fortunate
enough to bc at the entertain
ment at Miss Johnson's studio
last Saturday evening thought
so. In the first place the artis.
tic in our natures fairly reveled
in the beauties of that new stu.
dio; as Il town we are proud of
it, and proud of the owner aud
artist who has won so many
medals in Photographic con-
tests. The entertainment con-
sisted OF music, recitations,
pantomines, ETC., rendered by
pupils from our school, drilled
! by the untiring and ambitious
teachers, Miss Nichols and Miss
Weaver, assisted by Miss Ellen
Walker, while the wd tchful eye
and guiding hand of our dIgni
fed, courteous PrOI Nichols
was over all. We would like TO
comment on aud eXtOl each one,
but it will be sufficient to say
that there W as uot Il single
failure, all uid wei entering
into their parts, and carrying
them out with Il VIM and en-
thusiasm that spoke well for
themselves and well for their
teachers. The crowning event
of the evening was an Grafton
by David Milton Proctor. The
evening before he had won the
Inter Collegiate prize for oraIory
at Boouville. He was mere visit
} ing relatives and was prevailed
l upon to repeat his grafton !0r

To say the least it Wds very
highly appreciated and the many

to spoil Il less level hea ded
