ECHOES FROM
SUMMER SCHOOL
These June Nights.

These June Nights.
Gosh, aint June nights great,
The great red moon appearin', first
at rest,
Sails slowly like ship across the sky.
And all the stars seems lightin' up
her quest
Fer sumthin' no man knows or reasons
why.
And long about nine, ten O'Clock or so
The quiet you can hear creeps on
its way,
And sometimes comes the sound OF
cattles low
And. always strong, the smell OF
new-mown hay.
Then a big, hard lump comes in your
throat,
And strange thoughts come a steal
in your mind;
You'd kind a like to know the man who
wrote
That woman is sort of angel kind.
Bout now, you want someone to be
with you.
To kind share your gladness and
your pain.
And then you nearly cry, you feel so
But still you're glad that June has
come again.
June nights are what brings humans
to the rod
That works the worlds great engine.
and its breath
Comes sweetly on the air, you think OF
God,
OF heaven, mercy, sorrow, love and
death.

APPRECIATION LACKING.

Either the citizens OF Columbia
have not the taste for cultured music
that could find qualification in the con-
certs of the musicians now in town,
or they are Indifferent TO the efforts
made to bring the best musicians of
the state to Columbia. The fact re-
mains that a handful of people COM
paratively, have represented Columbia
at the musical performances that
have been given. We should try
to show appreciation for the ef-
forts that have been made. Co.
lumbia has reputation as a town OF
culture where entertainments Of re-
finement will be liberally supported
and keenly appreciated. The expert
ence of the Music Teachers associa-
ton, however, hardly seems to endorse
this reputation.
