The concert Tuesday night. conducted
under the auspices Of theladies 81 thepras
byterian church, was a grand success in
every respect and all who were connected
with It arc entitled to and doreceivo mo
greatest need of praise.
The opening piece by Miss Viva Hor.
rison was fine selection for a concert
and 1t was beautifully rendered. The
trio, Mrs. 0dell, and Messrs. WYATT
Jonos and II. Grace, delighted the
audience with my Old Keptncbv
Home Mrs. W T. Connor's sipc,
ing Of 1.-THE Violets" was heartily ar.
plauded by the audience and Mrs
Rives' selection was artistically rand
cred, Mrs. odell then appeared and
the audience insisted upon her singing
two pieces.
Miss Abbie Woodward's recitation
was taken from wild western scenes
and was faithful and amusing nor
trayal of the manners of the COW bovs
aud people of the plains. The audience
was not satisfied until she appeared the
second time.
Miss Nicholson, lady who has lately
arrived in Macon from Pensacola, has a
very sweet voice, and the audience
were so delighted with her solo, they
Insisted upon second appearance.
Miss Harrison again appeared at the
piano, and she displayed so much skill
the audience were disinclned to let her
off even after she had played the second
piece.
Mrs. Mcleod then satisfied the an
dience Of her power az vocalist and
when she was recalled she sang a
laughing song and it was so natural
and so cleyerly done she received a
storm of applause, The program was
then closed by song from the trio, and
when they were recalled the concert
was closed with the ever popular
Dixie. - We cannot recall a similar
occasion in Macon that was more
heartily enjoyed
