The Dekoven Ouartette

The entertainment given last Sat-
urday night by the DeKoven Quar-
tette. was, perhaps, In all respects,
the best of the kind, which has ap-
peared here. The young men are
singers of a high grade. There was
an air OF refinement and culture
about the whole affair not always
evident i'm concert companies on the
road. The quartette made no mistake
in giving number of the old songs,
such as "Old Black 10, Loves Old
Sweet Song "Silve. Threads
Among the Gold" etc. Every body
loves these old songs, that is, every
body who knows what true melody
and good music is. This paper has
always contended that no greater
mistake can be made in any musical
program than TO omit a generous use
of the old songs. Older people are,
after all the only zeal sentimental
lists. Young folks think otherwise,
but they don't know what real senti-
ment means-cant know-and are
not censurable for their ignorance.
They'll know some day--if they
live. The old songs above all other
known means, arouse and inspire
sentiment. Speak it, talk il, write
it ever so earnestly, clearly and elo-
quently as you may, but sing IL, and
memory begins to call back forgotten
forms, places and faces. and hears
again hushed voices, and feels the
touch of vanished hands across the
chasms, CULTS and pitfalls of the
years agone. Another thing, there
was no banging OH the piano by the
accopmanist TO drown the voices and
words of the singer, another abomi-
nation OF most musical concerts.
The reader, young lady from
Richmond, added greatly to the en-
joyment of the entertainment. I'm

Marriage at North TazeweII

Miss Victoria Mitchell, a teacher
in North Tazewell High School, and
Mr.. L. w. Mustard, OF Bland coun-
~, were united in marriage on We'd
nesday afternoon nj o'clock at the
residence of William l.. Britts. The
ceremony was performed by Rive. s
o Hall, of Tazewell. The happy
couple were the recipients of many
beautiful presents. They left on the
afternoon train for an extended we'd
ding tour, which will incl ude visit
TO Washington city.

personating, and particularly reading
or reciting negro dialect, is q pecu
Iiarly difficult form OF entertaining,
and Is often attempted by people
who are not competent TO the task.
Miss Nelson Is an artist I'm her line,
and added greatly to the pleasure OF
the occasion. And by. the way. while
we are on the subject, the only real,
first class reader the state has ever
had was WiIloughby Read, whom
some of the older people remember,
perhaps. He was a mao of culture,
and was famous in the country
around thirty years ago. He had a
son who took up his fathers work,
but never attained anything like the
wide popularity of his father. Ralph
Bingham, who is recalled as 1.-The
Boy Orator." and who, no longer a
boy, twas very popular all over the
state for number OF years, attained
something OF a national reputation.
He has appeared twice i'm TazcweIl
within the past twenty years, and
always had crowd. Such a calling
requires varied talent OF high or
der, which, IL is said, Miss Nelson
fortunately possesses.
The crowd in attendance on Sat
urday night nearly filled the house
aud would have been larger but
the death OF prominent lady of
the town kept a large number of
people away.

The Ladies Grateful (?)

No doubt the ladies OF the L. ID. G..
are very gratetefful TO the citizens of
THIS community for the generous
response they have received to the
request for money to help defray ex-
penses for music OH their approach-
ing memorial day. They are greatly
encouraged, of course, to go on with
the labor of love. They modestly
appealed TO the citizens OF the com
munity To help them OH the music of
the day. and behold, they havnt' Ie-
ceived a penny LAMBS, cattle, etc. ARE
being sold for such low prices now is
doubtless the cause of the inability
OF the people to contribute.

It's Not Right.

It's not right to assume that
the ladies hats at Chapman's
are all "high priced" hats,
because they are the latest
creations in millinery. It's
true they have hats worth
from S15to $50. but they have
also an immense stock of
what is known as popular
price hats. that is, hats rang
ing in price from $3.50 TO Sc.

present work pays me $1,000 a
week for six days. Up to last May
girls worked seven days, 10 to II
hours a day. We went on a strike
for one day off in seven, and the
strike is still on, simply because
married women stepped in and took
our places, women who have hus-
bands that make good salaries and
could get along very we'll without
working. They are now working
seven days 10 and IL hours for the
same salary union girl gets for
six days and 10 hours. Our girls
have met those women as they left
their work and tried to talk to them
and told them we were fighting to
better their conditions as well as
our own, but they could not see it
our way and nearly everyone OF
them gave us the same answer
which was what my husband said
for me to do, ITO keep right on

should have.

makes it his business to find out
