day night all the good people Of Beech
Island were assembled at the Downer

Of a delightful Valentine party, given

share from the State the management
hopes to make some valuable addition
to the already we'll equipped library.

enough land to start an excellent ex-

in this and trust that our board Of
trustees will pull for it. ~.

Aiken. Feb. 2G.-Thmo annual enter

off on Friday afternoon and evening
before q large and appreciative audi
ence.
That the numbers were varied. high
classed and superbly rendered is as
Sented to by all who We're present. ES-
pecially is This praise we'll founded and
fatteriug in view Of the fact that III
the brief life Of the academy there
have been no pupils as yet beyond the
third term in music. defamation and
voice culture: indeed. the great ma
iority are first and second term pu-
pills. TheS olOs and choruseS were eX-
cellent. as the most fastidious could
expect under the circumstances.
The boys and girlsclasses made their
first bow to the public in pleasing
chorus. Before many years they will
figure successfully in person as they
did last Friday evening in gobs.'
For brevity sake, the special points
OF eXcellency of individual pupils, or
numbers. cannot be emphasized in de-
tail. It IS but fair TO point out in pass
ing. however, the elecutionary profici-
ency displayed in teh scene from
Schillers Mary Stuart" the beauty of
the arias and recitations in LonSfel-

control of voice and breath in the CAN
gels Serenade," Grass and Roses"
and the selected Terzette; then the
general excellence of the instrumental
numbers.
st. Angela's is rapidly becoming
stronghold of intellectual power among
the youths of this ection. Judging
from the splendid exhibition OF last
Friday it is safe to assume that, as the
work progresses, the patrons and
friends Of the school will be welcomed
again to still better programme and
a more excellent rendition.
