 PRESENTED FRIDAY
Choir of the Church of the Advent Will Give Operatic Cantata
 in Parish House

Gilbert & Sullivan's pleasing operatic cantata, Trial by Jury will be pre- scented next Friday evening, December l. and Saturday matinee at the parish house of the Church of the Advent
 The operetta will be presented by the choir of the church and an augmented chorus of we'll known vocaiIsts under the direction of Prof. Fred l.. Grambs, choirmaster. The cantata is written in the best vein of the great composers and is delightful in melody and. in the bright ness of it's lines. The plot Is woven around suit for breach of promise of marriage, affording much scope for hu- nor and pleasantly.
 Miss Queenie Nicely, as the fair plain tiff in the case, fills the part to per- lection. She Is a splendid vocalist and her charming personality combined with unusua! ability. makes her rendition of the part especially pleasing
 MT. Charles B. Brown, who takes the part of the defendant to the suit Is ex- tremely well cast. as is Mr. J. A. Bate as counsel for the plaintiff, and Harry L. Culver as bailiff of the court. They render their parts with unusual skill. the singing being especially good,
 MT. A. A. 14atady is simply fnimitabie in the part of the judge of the court. Iri addition to singing his part well. he injects much humor and drollness into 1t. In his song. why I Am Judge. he will introduce several stanxas of lis own composition which will deal with local matters. Judge Latady's tcl,arze to the jury is one of the features of the performance.
 The following gentlemen have beon drawn for the jury: J. w. Cox. foreman; A. w. Rencher. Norris karpeies sii Wtggans, Percy Hughes. MT Porte 'sr" Crane. MT. Shilito, Mrs. Geiss, MT. Gould and we'll trained chorus will assist in the rendition of the musical numbers. The prQceeds will go to the choir fund.

 The w. O. Broyles Stove and Furni- ture Co.,, only retains the highest class men that can be secured and it is a reuuisite that they be extremely polite. |, MT Strickland is delighted with his rev position and says he was never be- fore situated that he could cut prices and sell cheaper than all competition. He Is anxious for all his friends to know that he is with w. O. Broyles Stove x Fur niture Co.,, and says he is now prepared to make them better bargains than ne ever did heretofore. MT.
