Miss Davis Recital.

Miss Wootson Davis and her
friends appeared at Reynolds Opera
House in a recital last Tuesday
night. The young lady was assist
ed by Miss Vera Tinkle, of Ruther.
ford, Miss Mamye Gardner and
Mr.. Joe Mangum. A fair-sized and
appreciative audience heard them.
The program appeared III this pa
per last week. 1t contained several
interesting numbers. Miss T1nkle
has appeared here before, but she
is not as we'll known by Union City
people as her music deserves. She
handles the most difficult music
with ease and grace. There is a
sort of sympathy between her fn-
gers and the piano keys. They
seem to respond without effort and
she appears to understand them
thoroughly The music she makes
is delightful. Miss Gardner is al
ways welcome to Union City audi
ence. Her elocution is charming
and Mud Pies" was never in bet
ter hands. She responded to an
encore. OF course everybody knows
what Mr.. Mangum's music is. 1t is
like old wine - it ripens and col
ors with age. His first number
was "Cubanola," Mexican dance,
an artistic composition, the encore,
selections from the Bohemian Girl.
When Joe plays it is like breath
of early spring, a poem of brooks
and flowers. Everything else is
forgot in the enchantment, even
the player and the audience. The
man who can reach more hearts
than Joe with a violin never APP
pears in this country aud perhaps
in none. Miss Wootson Davis
singing was excellent. The advan-
tages she received under the train.
ing of Miss Vesey we're plainly APP
parent to the audience. She sang
with more ease. The theme found
expression in the voice and that is
the attainable in. music. The
young lady is gifted, but her great
est charm is not music alone. She
has attracted scores Of friends by
the truth in her character and the
genuineness of her smile. Miss
Wootson deserves all the praise
that is given her and a thousand
times more. She has been faithful
to her friends, her studies and her
duties, always pleasant and accom-
rnodating, always striving for the
best always herself.
Wagner's Orchestra performed
several numbers in entertaining
style. The orchestra was aug
mented with the assistance of Mr..
Scwalb, a violin player, and the
music was altogether one of the
pleasures of the recital. They
came in for their share OF applause.

Nearly all disease germs that find

II the stomach and digestive organs
be weak, so that food does not readily
digest, they will contain sour, Shiny
fermenting mass, an ideal spot for the
disease germs to grow and spread
through the whole system.
People with a weak stomach are in a
continual state of danger, and they
should use the lest means, Mi-o-na, to
strengthen that organ and tone up the
whole digestive system. This remedy
is a certain cure for all diseases Of the
stomach excepting cancer. Used be-
fore each meal, it SO strengthens the
whole digestive system that you can
eat what you want and all you want
without fear of Indigestion. There
will be no fermentation OF food, and
the stomach and intestines will be so
clean and pure that disease germs
cannot possibly live, when Mi-o-na is
used.
If you suffer with headache, back
ache, variable appetite, nausea, gnaw-
ing at the pit of the stomach, sallow
skin, heart, burn, furred tongue, sleep
lessness, and general debility, it shows
that the stomach has been oyerworked
and weakened. A ffty-cent box OF
Mi-o-na tablets will give quick ana
speedy relief.
Ask the Red Cross Pharmacy, one
Of the most reliable drug firms in
Union City, to show you the strong
guarantee under which they sell

Grand Army circles. Last year he
was chosen Senior Vice Commander

Commander was nearly unanimous.
