Miss Quisenberry's Recital

On FRIDAY evening in the Aud
ltorium of Caldwell High School,.
the public was given a very de-
llghtful entertainment by Miss
Quisenberrys class in Music. Sci
dom has it been our pleasure to
hear finer rendering of difficult
compositions than by some of
the little folks on the programme.
Tabitha Cobb, possibly eleven
years Of age, played Largo Han
deb and Sonata OPP. 40 (Beetho-
ven) in a manner really surpris-
ing. Misses Dorothy and Louise
Ierrill were among the youngest
in the class and both acquitted
themselves beautifully.
Miss Christine Sandlin, Miss
Rose Pearlman and Miss Eliza
beth Best, the more advanced
pupils, gave several numbers by
Bugbee, MacDowall and Hol-
lander which were greatly en-
joyed.
The two vocal numbers by
Misses Cynthia Dawson and Car
RE Altman were lovely and gave
promise of greater things here
after; both voices were unusually
sweet and clear
And now the Orchestra, pos
sibly we have saved the best for
the last; for indeed, no city of
this size can boast of better
music than was heard on Friday
evening: Violinist, Joe GUM
chigliani; Cornetist, Chas. Stani-
fer; Drums, Nelson Elder and
Frank Devore and Miss Quisen
berry, Pianist. Those who have
heard the latter, know the beauty
of her playing, her technique is
faultless, her tone charmingl,
poetic.
Summing up the entertainment
as a whole, it was a success, and
we tender our congratulations tC
Miss Quisenberry.

One of the largest real estate
deals ever conSummated in Cen
trail Kentucky was closed last
week when Senator ]. w. Bailey,
of Texas, sold to Mr.. U. G. Saun-
ders, of Flemingsburg, his Fair
land" Stock Farm, located on the
Versailles pike about four miles
from Lexington.
The Bailey farm contains
about 408 acres and is one of the
most complete and up-to-date
stock farms in Central Kentucky,
as Senator Bailey has spent d
fortune in Improvements since he
bought it. The land is some of
the most valuable around LeXing-
ton, being located on the Yer

What's the Matter with Mad
ison?

The Sun, in its Monday issue,
reprinted an article from the
Richmond Register, compliment
ing the County Judges of Jessa-
mine, Clark and Fayette counties.
The Registers article stated that
Jessamine county is in the best
financial condition of any county
in the state.
Judge Evans informs The Sun
that JeSSamine county has no
surplus, while Clark county has a
surplus of 100000. Jessamine
is also running on a so cent tax
rate, while Clark county's rate is
40 cents.
All of which goes to show that
Clark county always is right up
at the top in the good things
and generally a little bit ahead.
And as for Judge Evans, there
isn't better County Judge in all
Kentucky Winchester Sun.

Death of Mr.. T. J. Berry

Mr.. Thos. Berry, one of our
oldest and most esteemed citi
zens, died at the home of his son
George, in Lexington on Friday,
and was buried in this city on
Sunday at noon. Just about
year ago, his excellent wife
preceded him to the grave, and
a more genial, kindhearted old
couple have never lived in our
midst. M. Berry was 80 years
of age and had spent the greater
portion of his life here and al
ways identified himself with the
interests of the place.
His death marks the passing
of an upright honest man, kind
neighbor, a devoted christian and
surely has he entered into his
reward.
