LIVE BIDDING PROMISED.

The Republican is reliably informed
that there are several prospective pur-
chasers for the G. w. b. 8. Cos
system at the sale on the 2Sth. A
rumor that seems to have strong
foundation is that the Elmore County
Irrigated Farms Association is con-
sidering the adyisability Of securing
1t and uniting the two systems. 1t
is reported that they have sent into
one of the local banks enough mon
ey to cover the initial payment call
ed for In the order.
Investigation at the StockgrowerS
State Bank elected the informa-
tion that no arrangement had been
made there.
Inquiry was then made at the Fir
st National, and Mr.. Austin said
"Well We are not supposed to say
much about our customers affairs.
The company keeps an account here
and IL they wish to bid, / see no
reason why they should not
Mr.. Wolfe, when approached on
the subject, would not affirm or de-
ny the rumor but did say There
will be bidders on the sale on the
2Sth."
1t does seem that this proposition
here Is too good to let 60 by.
Somebody must take 1t.

Will the editor find 4 little
space to tell the public Of that
splendid program which the
Treble Clef gave last night in
the Methodist church, Its the
talk of the town today, and
the writer has often paid SO
cents and didn't get so highly
entertained. 1t was a splendid
crowd too, and they were de-
lighted, some said the rendition
of the Lost Chord was never
better, others said, land that
duet was fine" while all agreed
it was a great treat in every
part. Many kind words are
being spoken of the eloquent
talk on music, because it was so
appropriate, and abounded in
thought of the way music plays
on the body, mind and morals,
and was backed by many quota
tions from Ruskin, Words
worth, Browning, and Shakes
peare, and a pretty musical
story of Chas. Kingsley. Come
again, Treble Clef, so say we.

The Cantata

The largest audience of the
season, so far, met at the Pres.
byterian church last evening
for the cantata: THE FIRST
CHRISTMAS. This is beau
tiful choral cantata and was
rendered in a most pleasing
manner. Mrs. Green and her
excellent choir worked long and
faithfully and were certainly
we'll repaid if heartful apprecia-
ton can repay.
The auditorium of the
church was seated to its full
capacity before the members of
the choir had taken their
places. When the opening
hymn had been sung by the
choir and audience, and the Of
fering made, every seat in the
adjoining lecture room had
also been taken and all avail
able chairs placed in the aisles
After the prelude by the or.
chestra with Mrs. Green at the
organ, Miss Sayde Briggs,
Cello, and Sybil Smith, Violin,
the program began with a Choir
US and solo by MIR. Aulger.
The other number in part /
was a soprano solo, "Bethle-
hem," beautifully rendered by
Miss label Briggs.
In part q of the cantata, two
numbers deserve special men
ton. Miss Edith Amen's voice
was its best as she sang the
solo in "My Soul Doth Magni-
fy." Mr.. Weston's solo with
\ the quartet and women's che +
was we'll received.
i Mr. Mason Ramey and choir
song the Angels Song in part
8 One of the finest pieces in
the whole cantata, "The ST. r
and the Song," was rendered as
an alto and tenor duet by Mre.
G zen and Geo. Veliechoof.
This was beautifully done and
n uch appreciated by the hear
ers.
Mr.. Wallace, who sang at The
mons meeting yesterday aftt r.
noon sarg in The varjo us chez
uses ard sang the solo, "a
IChristmas Lullaby" The final
number was a grand chorus nv
the entire choir, BLESSED be
the Lord"
Lack of space fo,bids cur
giving mention TO 8: II. Every
person did his or her part to
lperfection and the program
was indeed a splendid success S.
The church and the music-|nv.
ing community may well give
a vote of thanks to the director,
Mrs Green, who made this de.
Iiohtful entertainment possible.
| Now that it has showed we
can believe that Xmas is sure
coming.
