More Time for Income Tax Return.

Madison, Wis, March Il. The state
tax commission today issued an order
extending the time for making returns
for income tax from April to April l5.

for the assessor 10 give tbs required

many properly to fiji out their return

altered his position since he begged

narrow stairs to leave him alone with

He was living over the past. He

A NOVEL FEATURE.
OF the Superintendent's Dinner at the
Naval Academy Saturday Night.

The Superintendent and Mrs. Glib
I bons gave their large party of din
ner guests on Saturday a very de
lightful surprise in the closing fea
ture of the evenings entertainment
Miss Louise Williams. of Georgia,
for an hour or more. charmed them
with songs and stories, illustrating
negro life and character.
Miss Williams has a sweet. rich
voice and great dramatic ability
Some of her songs and stories were
humorous, some of them and the negro
hymns, We're full of pathos; all of
them were Intensely interesting.
She has become quite celebrated as
the leading EXPONENT of negro dialect
in the country, and is much sought
after for public entertainments.
We are glad to hear that the lady
trustees Of our Emergency Hospital
have secured her services for the
evening of February 20. when she will
appear at Mcdowell Hall. St. Johns
College. the proceeds of admission
will be given TO the treasurer Of our
hospital
Those who have heard Miss Williams
always want to hear her again; those
who have not heard her, should not
fail to do so. Her pronunciation and
Intonation, her mannerisms and ges-
lures In telling her stories, and in
singing the old plantation songs and
hymns. are wonderfully true to life.
and show her to be a genius in i'm
the old, fast-disappear-
ing plantation type of the colored
race, which had so much that was
in music and character.
