Piano-Forte Recital at Central
College.

Miss Hazel Millikin played a
very beautiful piano recital in
Murrell Hall Monday evening,
before a large and enthusiastic
cally appreIative audience. This
was the third piano program in
the series OF recital for gradua-
tiOn.
Mss Miliil1n's charming stage
appearance and her gracefulness
at the piano prepossessed her
listeners in her favor at once,
and she held their attention
throughout, and provoked their
heartIest and continued applause
after every lumber.
The program was intrinsically
interesting and included the
unusual feature of Beethoven
con erto. In this Miss Milikin
was splendidly supported by Mr.
Con ad, her teacher, who played
the orchestral parts on a second
piano. Possibly in the concerto
the ability Of the pianiste was
best displayed. The memorizing
of such a iumber is an intellect
Iual ieat, AMI Miss Millilin de-
GIFTED her audience with her in
depreciation.
Throughout the whole program
Miss MilHkin exhibited an ad-
equote and comprehensive tech
nique. Her fluency, the clarity
of her runs, her accurate and pos
itive sense of rythm, and a
musical temperament combined
to make her recital a success.
The program in full is added
and shows most artistic arrange
ment as well a superior taste il
selection.

ion to the police jury that under the

completed an inspection of the river
front at Angola, which was in a meas

ing down the river. Col. Parker does

crevasse of last spring. On this, As

mains too long against the new en-
bankment there is danger of it giving
way. The levee at Angola is an un-
usually large one, and the authorities
do not anticipate any difficulty IN
