A RARE MUSICAL TREAT
Imperial Bell Rineexs Greeted
by Large Audience.

BY far the largest audience which
has attended performance given at
Trinity University this season was
present last night to hear the I'm
perial Hand-Bell Ringers. The gal
lery was packed and nearly every
chair in the auditorium was occn-
pied. The entertainment was a
musical treat, being the most enjoy
able number Of the course of 1923.
The interest was intense throughout
the performance and the liberal ap-
plause accorded the mu sicians testi-
fed to the pleasure afforded by the
sweet mu sic rendered. The bell ring
ing was a marvellous combination of
dexterous manipulation of the bells
and an artistic execution of musical
score. The ease ana graeefainess
with which the bells were handled
gave evidence of the highest skill.
One Of the most pleasing features
of the entertainment was the des-
criptive chorus, with bells, entitled
Echoes from the London Steepies. =
The pealing of the bells of St. Paul
was family heard in the distance,
gradually growing louder and more
distinct upon approaching closer,
Then the town.hall chimes and the
striking of clocks were heard. The
hymn of Rockingham" from a
neighborInK steeple, was the next to
greet the syear, following which were
the chiuies from Westminster and
the striking % big Ben" Then
followed the hymn of "Wareham, o.
and closing with the reeediug peals
OF St. Paul. II was beautiful thing
aud the rendition was perfect. Not
a false note nor a jarring clang mar
4 red it.
In the piece entitled IAN Aboart
for Memphis" you could hear every
! thing connected with steamboat OF
lthe Mississippi; the escape pipes
whistles, signal bells, pounding "a
the engines and darkies singing.
/ The entire performance Was a rar
treat and the music loving people o
/ Waxahschie should give Prof. W
! W. Campbell due credit for afford
ing them this evening Of pleasure.

Saved My Life and Kept
Me from insane Asylum"
Paine'S Celery
Compound

The absolute need of an honest
and genuine invigorator and health
giver in the spring season Is deeply
impressed on the mind of every
thinking and intelligent man and
woman.
The happy cure of Mrs. J. f.
Wilcox, of Winters, Gala. through
the use of Paine's Celery Compound,
created widespread astonishment
and Joy amongst her friends and
neighbors who were exceedingly
anxious regarding her condition.
The best medical treatment failed
even to give Mrs. Wilcox few days
of relief from her sutferings of mind
and body. AT last, Paine's Celery
Compound saved her from a terrible
end and planted her feet firmly on
the rock of health.
Read Mrs. Wilcox's letter of testi-
mony, dear reader, and If you
remain obdurate and unbelieving
after such an earnest and convincing
confession of cure, nothing but q
direct act of Providence can snatch
you from the dangers and perils of
your position. Mrs. Wilcox says:
"I feel it my duty to tell you what
me, Some years ago my head
troubled me so that it seemed /
should be crazy. 1t was caused by
overstudy. / asked the advice Of
/ two doctors who gave me medicine
| to no effect, and / did not know
what ] would do. l did not want to
/ see any one, everything seemed so
! strange. 4 had a tired, tagging feel
! ing, my bowels were out of order,
my kidneys troubled me, and | felt
/ badly, but before / had taken half
/ Of one bottle of Paine's Celery Com
/ pound i felt like new person. Four
bottles cured me, and | would rec
ommend it to all who feel the way /
did. ] can't praise it half enough,
for | know it saved my life and kept
me from Imprisonment in an insane
asylum, which is as bad as death. 81
