Falls people as the treat which is in
store for them October 90:
Forrest Dabney Carr, the eminent
basso cantante, late of the Maurice
Grau Grand Opera company, is we'll
known throughout the United States
as an artist of exceptional ability. Be-
sides his grand opera experience he
has been on tours for the Damrosch
and Seidl orchestra, the Clcmentine
De We're and other concert compan-
les. He possesses a voice of remark
able compass, powerful and under ad-
mirable control, and a stage presence
at once dignified and graceful, and it
has placed him in the foremost ranks
of grand opera singers. AS concert
singer he is exceptionally fine, and in
cludes in his repertoire the best that
can be had in ballads as we'll as the
leading bass solos from the famous
operas.
Florence Gertrude Smith has gen.
uine dramatic ability as we'll as a
beautiful colorature soprano voice. AS
prima donna in opera she has sung in
almost every city Of over 10000 inhab-
itants in the United States and Can
ada, having appeared in over 1000 op-
cratic performances in the last four
years; therefore with her experience
and that of Mr.. Carr, these two artists
are able to give duets from scenes in
grand and English opera as promin-
ent feature of programs.

Two years ago M. D. DeLong placed
his property adjoining the original
townsite on the west, on the market
in one-acre tracts and to every pur-
chaser was given one chance on the
remaining property which contained
the DeLong home. The house and lot
were to be awarded by lot as soon as
the whole number of lots, thirty-two
in number were sold. The lots sold
rapidly and were disposed of some
time ago, but in the meantime Mr.. De-
Long, who had gone to France, died
across the seas and the estate passed
into the hands of trustee, Richard
Cookingham, of this city Due to the
fact that the property was scattered,
delay was caused in settling the af-
fairs and so the drawing was not
made possible until yesterday when
the holders of the thirtytwo numbers
were notified to be present at Hill &
Taylor's Office for the allotment
