Boys Gave US a sRouslug Ovation

When the curtain rose and the boys
in the gallery saw us, what an ovation
we received. 1t seemed by the way
the gallery was packed that every
youngster in town was there and each
one full to the exploding point of en-
thusiasm. Bless their loyal young
hearts, how they encouraged us. How
those boys did laugh when the end
men began to jolly Joe Carter. He
was not quite as abdominous then as
he is to-day, but he made the jolliest
negro you ever saw, and when Alex.
Humphreys made him lose control of
himself aud laugh, it set the audience
in an uproar led by the boys in the
gallery. The Old Maple Tree" sung
by Doc Massey and quartette was well
received; 1.-The Golden Slipper" sung
by Fred Carter and troupe set the au-
dience in a good humor and the solo,
"Call me Your Darling Again" by
Tom Start and quartette was applauded,
but the audience wanted to laugh and
when Alex. Humphreys sang Rock
Me Susie" in his inimitable way, we
feared the gallery would come down
and bring our young friends with it.
1.-THE Blue Alsatian Mountains" sung
by Ned Hoffecker, was received as his
solos usually were, and then came the
finale of the overture, "Order of the
Full Moon" This was given by the
entire company aud pleased the audi
ence so much that we had to repeat
several times. Space will not permit

lowed. Our first entertainment was

RESOLUTIONS.

Resolutions adopted by the Smyrna Be-
nevolent Society. A tribute of respect to
our beloved cO-wOrker and sister Mrs.
Angelica Colt.
The summons came from her Heavenly
Father, quietly, on the evening of January
second, 1t Was a fitting close of a long, use
full, and unobtrusive life, noble and happy
giving to those around her lessons of bright
and cheerful colOring, and filled with deeds
of charity always according to the Masters
command. Let not thy left hand know
what thy right hand doeth.'
She was early devoted to Gods service
and all with whom she was associated know
how faithful that service was She did not
seek for a wide sphere of activity but sought
to bless that in which she moved always
being ready to lend helping hand in sick
ness, sorrow or distress.
She was member of the Benevolent
Society over fOrty-five years, filled the
office of treasurer a number of years and at
the time of her decease was one of the vice
presidents, and until the last year was
always regular In attendance of the meet
ings of the Society.
She closed her eyes upon the sunshine of
an earthly day to open them upon the
beauties of the Eternal City whose inhabi-
tants shall know no more sorrow or death.
Therefore resolved that we send to the
daughter and son of our beloved sister our
tender sympathy in their sad bereavement
and commend them to the all wise care of
our Heavenly Father Also copy of these
resolutions be placed on the minutes of oul
Society and copy sent to the Smyrna
Times.

HISTORICAL SKETCH OF THE
OLD WHITE ROSE MINSTRELS

CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAGE.

jolly Times Had at the Rehearsals.
What jolly times we had at our re-
hearsals in spite of the hard work. Joe
Carter and Tom Humphreys were the
managers, and they made us "hustle"
In a few weeks we were ready to
make our bows ''before the foot
lights" Large white posters were
printed at the Times Office, aud posted
in conspicuous places. What JOY it
was to us youngsters to stand and
read in big black type, 1.-THE White
Rose Minstrels. Recently there was
found on file in the "Times" office
program of the third entertainment
given on December Gath, 1880. As we
have no other, this will be given as
specimen. This program was printed
with number of advertisements and
scattered around the town. Every boy
who was old enough, considered it an
honor to distribute them. 1t will,
perhaps, be interesting to note the
changes that have occurred in twenty
five years among the business firms.
These advertisers are given as they ap.

The night of the great event arrived.
The scenery had been placed and the
setting was ready for the overture.
Two hours before the time for the en-
tertainment to commence we began to
rub burnt cork on our faces, and how
much some of us did rub was found
out later, when we tried to wash it off
/ Theodore Johnson took his place In
the box office, Gal" Fowler aud Harry
Wilson acted as ushers, and Harry
Jefferson collected tickets. The hall
was filled long before the hour to COM
mence arrived. The gallery was packed
with the jolliest crowd of boys that
ever a minstrel troupe looked upon.
The orchestra of Professor Luckman
started the prelude of the overture and
the curtain was rung up. The magic
half circle was composed of Alex Hum
phreys, Glenn Spruance, Will Camac,
tambos; Fred Carter, Maurice Manning
John Baggs, bones; Joe Carter, inter
locutor; Ned Hoffecker, Doc Massey,
Olin Hough, Harry Hill, Jack We'll
don, Harry Scout, Tom Start, vocal

with white rose boutonniere in the la
pei of his coat. The end mems button
Mere were about the size of an ordi'
nary head of cabbage. The name
"White Rose" was suggested by Mrs.
William McKown. the butonniere be-
