The entertainment given in the Con
gregational church Saturday evening by
! the Canadian Jubilee Singers and lmpe-
rial orchestra under the auspices OF the
Y. p. c. U. was very largely attended,
the church being filled to its utmost ca
pacity. The old plantation melodies lose
none of their charm which has made
them so popular. Indeed it is not often
that the people of this place can avail
| themselves of the opportunity OF listening
to such high class performance as pro-
vided by w. T. Cary and his company.
The selections played by the orchestra
were very finely executed and every num-
Der on the program was encored. The
singing was also special feature OF the
entertainment The soprano, Marie
Dorsa and the bass S. r. Overstreet,
were particularly noticeable.
