Readers of the DEMOCRAT have their
attention directed in this issue to the ad-
vertisement to be found on the first page
announcing the bona hde closing out
sale by Chas. Chisholm Of the old estab-
llshed general merchandise business to
which he succeeded as purchaser Of the
we'll known, emporium, the Langden
Mercantile Co., IN which he was inter-
ested largely from the time of Its first
incorporation back in the early days.
This is genuine closing out sale and
while it lasts there are big bargains in
every line of goods carried in the store.
The concert given on Friday evening
by the Dizzy Jubilee Singers was without
question one Of the best entertainments
in it's line that has ever been enjoyed in
Langdon. More tickets could have been
sold aud though the hall was not filed to
it's fall capacity, quite good sized crowd
enjoyed to the limit program Of solos,
duets and group songs by a company
of six voices of high merit. Miss Haw-
kins, the soprano, was a singer whose
voice blended both sweetness and power
in manner that pleased the audience
while she rendered number of popular
songs OF, the day as we'll as negro melo'
dies. Perhaps the favorjte of the even
ing was the tenor, Mr.. johnson, who
was at his best in solo entitled "fhe
Holy City" Fhe Jubilee company has
first-class basso in Mr.. Buckner and
the compass of his voice was given q
satisfactory test in Rocked in the Cradle
Of the Deep" Some OF the best efforts
of the company were brought ont in the
male quartette, consisting OF Messrs
Buckner, Willoughby, johnson and
Williams, the later gentleman giving the
concert ut times touch of comedy that
was droll aud slever bat lacked the tone
of valgarity which crseps out at times ii
concerts given by oolored performers
The DEMOCRAT does not as rule follow
up the appearance Of a travelling troupe
in Langdon with bunch of compliments
but it is constrained to Say that FeEgu
sons Dizzy Jubilee Singers are strictly al
right, both collectively aud individually
