hlng OF Israel to be Sung by IaurCnS
Choral Society Tuesday Before Ens-
ter.
The Laurcns Choral Society is hay
ing practices several times each week
in preparation for the rendition of the
sacred cantata King Of Israel" Tues
day evening April 2nd which is next
Tuesday. Though the cantata is not
quite as long as was Saul" given
some time ago, those who have heard
the practices speak very enthusiastic
ly as to its merits Several new voic-
es will be heard in the principal roles
this time, thus adding much to the
interest in the presentation.
The proceeds from this entertain
mcnt are to go to the Kings Daughters.
One of the members of this society,
III speaking of its work, stated that
very heavy drain had been made on
the treasury during the past winter
with the result that the funds are
very low. For this reason 1t is es-
pccially desirable that a large num-
Der attend the cantata and contribute
literally at the special Offering. No
admission fee will be charged. The
cantata will be sung in the Methodist
church.
The cantata is under the direction
of Mr.. Charles H. Hicks, Mrs. Hicks
playing the accompaniment on the
large organ at the church
AS the cantata gives promise of be-
ing such a musical treat it is hoped
by the ladies that there will be a
splendid attendance.

HILARY A. HERBERT
TO MAKE ADDRESS
superintendent B. l.. Jones has Re-
cei'ed an Acceptance of an Invita-
ton to Make Annual Address.

Col Hilary A. Herbert. secretary
of the navy under Grover Cleveland
and a native of this place, has ac-
cepteu the invitation of Supt. b. l..
Jones to deliver the annual gradual
ing address at commencement time.
Col. Herbert, in writing to Mr.. Jones,
also states that his daughter. Mrs.
Benjamin Micou, will also come with
him to visit the scenes of his child
hood.
NO definite date has been set for
the address, but Col. Herbert states
that 1t Will be most convenient for him
to be here about May 1913. He will
spend several days here with his
daughter visiting the places Of inter-
est to him and to his daughter and all
so in renewing any of his old ac-
quaintances that he can find.
In his letter Col Herbert states
that he is seventy eight years of age
and that he was born on the spot
where the Female College was after
wards erected and that he attended
school at the old school house. His
family moved to Alabama before he
was grown and 1t was there that he
spent his early life. During Clcve-
lands administration he was appoint
ed secretary of the navy and since
that time he has been practicing law in
Washington, where he is quite a
prominent figure.
Col. Herbert evidently anticipates
his visit here with much pleasure
and 1T is certain that his stay here
will be made as pleasant and prolta-
bic as a hospitable people can make
it.
