Miss Graves Recital.

Ol1e VI Tile DeSJ kuOWQ ana lnOSl
liked of the local musicians,
eelipSed all her previous appear
ances as a pianist when yesterday
evening she appeared as a candi-
date for graduation from Cen
tral College Conservatory of
Music in recital at Murrell Au-
ditorium. There was present one
of the largest audiences that has
attended recital this year. That
this audience was exceedingly
well pleased there is no need of
saying.
A feature in the way of i'm
provement in arrangement was
the use of a new piano-the one
generally in Mr.. COnrad's studio
-as first piano with the old
Knabe as the accompanying in
strument. The tone of the new
er piano is much sweeter than
that of the old.
The program was well arrang-
ed and a bit novel, consisting of
two groups and a concerto move
ment. Novelties were in evi-
dence, but there was enough of
the classical to keep the pro
gram well within the bounds of
propriety. The playing of Miss
Graves, too, showed a clear con-
ception of the different styles.
On her first appearance she
was greeted with a hearty round
of deserved applause. Her first
group consisted of a Sonata, D.
major, by Scarlatti, Mendelssohn
E. minor Scherzo Chopin s
March Funebre and the G. flat
Etude by the same composer. The
Scarlatti sonata was an unusual
piece, but it was pleasing ant
served well as an introduction t.
the recital. The well know
1 lScherzo was handed III mos
capable fashion and the magni
ficent Funeral March of ChopiI
was one of the most enjoyable
| features of the evening. Th'
brilliant Etude was a fitting close
to the group.
The second group contained thu
lighter and more melodious mum
bers. Grieg's An den Fruehline
was beautifully and accurately
executed. 1t was followed by &
Tschaikowsky Barcarolle, Haber
bier's ''Une fleur printaniere
and Dennee's "The Rainbow.
Poldini S Poupee Valsante wal
delightful in the extreme. Mis-
Graves entered enthusiastically
into the spirit of the piece anC
gave it with energetic brilliancy.
The first movement of the Mo
zart A major Concerto witt
Reinecke cadenza brought thu
program to a close. Mr.. Con
rad with his usual taste and ac
suracy PLAYED the orchestral ac
companimel nm the seconC
piano.
Concerning the ability of Mis-
Graves so many favorable com
ments have been previously hearC
that it is necessary here only t.
add that she is growing an'
broadening in her musicianshlp
She is indeed a young lady o
whom Lexington can justly fee
proud.

Some Newspaper History of La
fayette County.

N-NAS ~ eiiN -'A APfouAA AAAoNNAANHA
Review writes interestingly of
the press of Lafayette County. |
She says:
The most noted paper establish
ed in 1910 was The Express, pub
lished at Lexington. 1t was
the pioneer paper of Lafay-
ette county. The money neces-
sary to publish it was furnished
by John and Robert Aull, Ed
ridge Burden, Samuel Stramke
and James Graham. Charles
Patterson was the editor. He
soon became the proprietor and
took as his partner in the enter
prise William Musgrove, Sr. They
sold the paper in the fall of
1852 to j. NJ. Julian and John R.
Gaunt. William Musgrove con-
tinued as editor and in 1854
again bought a part interest in
it. Walter NJ. SmallwOod
bought the interest of Musgrove
and Guant in 1856. General
Richard c. Vaughan bought
Smallwood's IS interest in 1859 but
sold out in 1860 and entered the
Union army. The Express sus-
pended in 1861 on account of
hard times. This left Lexington
without a newspaper and in 1862
in order to supply the demand
for a paper, S. S. Earl took the
press and materials of the Ex-
press and commenced the publi-
cation of the Central Union
Henry K. Davis was the editor.
The old name, Express, was re-
sumed in 1866. Henry Davis
and George Vaughan were the
proprietors. The editor was
John Laughborough, well known
las editor of the st. Louis Times
and afterwards as surveyor-gen
eral of Missouri. Henry Davis
became the sole proprietor in the
fall of 1866 and changed the
name to The Caucasian. He sold
| it in 1867 to Jacob NJ. Julian, E-
than Allen and William Mus
grove, Jr., practical newspaper
men. Ethan Allen was a de-
scendant of the Ethan Allen Of
Ticonderoga fame. The Caucas-
ion was published until 1875 wher
it was consolidated with the In
telligencer, paper which had
been recently started at Lexing-
ton.
Among the noted editors of the
Express and Caucasian were
Colonel Jacob T. Child, legislator,
diplomat and author, whose edi-
torials were of the scholarly, dig
nified type, and Col. Peter or
pat" Donan. During Col
Donan's editorship the paper be-
longed to that branch of the Dem
ocartic faith styled in his own
phraseology red hot. The
Caucasian claimed the honor OF
nominating Horace Greeley for
president. 1t said DOnan made
a special trip East in order to
induce Greeley to accept the nom
ination. Returning to Lexington
! he issued a special edition Of The
Caucasian with glaring head
lines: Horace Greeley, the
devil or anybody to beat Grant, .
Col. Donan's was a fearless, vei
j satile writer. His articles il
defense of the Confederaey were
of such force that the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat called him the
sounding brass on the tinkline

st Louis, Nos 1S.-The controyer-
sy between the two factions OF the
International Brotherhood of Electri-

convention OF the American Fedora
tion of Labor as n special order when
today's session began. Leaders OF
the factions said the trouble must be
settled before the convention did any
other work The Electrical workers
dispute is one of three far-reaching
questions before the convention. The
others are the granting of a char
ter To the Western Federation of Min
ers and the status of the labor or.
ganization in Canada.
The machinists object TO the grant.
ing of charter to the Western Fed

want to have jurisdiction over the

the Seceders, has q 900 members. d.
