Butter n CIatmant.
Greenville Advocate.
The two bright Stars, one published
in Ozark and the other In Andalusia,
are each claiming their counties as
the champion for all day singing con-
ventions. The Andalusia Star says that
there are more Of these conventions in
than In any other county
says that 1t will not stand for anything
like that. According to 1t. Dale has
had the championship for 10. these
many years. and still claims It, That
Dale also has the best singers, and
many of the songs In the Sacred Harp
are written by Dale County men.

Butler had the inside track over all
other counties In the frequency and

other county need make any preten-
lions to this honor. Anyway there are
many good singers in Butler, and when
one of these all-day conventions is held
you can Just put 1t down that neither
the singers Of Dale nor Cdvington can
make any better music or can serve a
better dinner than do the all-day sing
ers Of Butler. ~
