GIRDLETREE.

GIRDLETREE.
The young people of Girdletree did
great credit to themselves and their
town last Friday night, in the produc-
ton of "The Deacon, !" a comedy drama,
full of humorous incidents and ludicrous
situations from beginning to end. The
Deacon kept the audience convulsed
every moment he was on the stage, and
special mention should be made of
Pete" the negro servant, who de-
lighted his listeners with his ludicrous
and grotesque manner and remarks.
This is not the first time Pete has APP
peared on our stage, and now the very
fact that he is to be one of the charac-
tiers is sufficient recommendation for
any entertainment. But no less inter-
esting and enjoyable were the other
characters leach one splendidly adapted
to his parD, who charmed and amazed
the audience at the ability they dis
played; surprised that our town con-
tanned such splendid talent. This en-
tertainment was decided by all to be
the best one the Club has ever given,
and, as the young people are improving
all the time and are untiring in their
efforts to do as much for our town as
possible, they certainly deserve the
hearty cooperation of its citizens.
