Immediately following their engage
meut here all Of our artists except Mr..
Powell will leave for Columbus, to
assume the important roles of the
May Festival which will be held in
Memorial Hall ct that place.
It has long been customary for the
leading citizens Of Mount Vernon to
make frequent pilgrimages to Colum.

ments. The Hount Vernon May Fes-
tival is perhaps the first instance
where we will vie with the capitol
city by commanding the same talent
for an important event.
Only after prolonged negotiations
were the concessions obtained which
make possible the appearance of these
noted musicians In our city. Their
artistic renditions In conjunction with
the singing of magnificent chorus,
whose reputation is already establish.
ed, presages for Mount Vernon a musi.
cal event noted for its brilliancy and
artistic success.
The Columbus Dispatch in an article
which has just appeared comments
very optimistically concerning the ar
lists who will come to their city from
Mount Vernon. After describing Men
delssohn's famous oratorio Elijah"
which will be presented at their May
Festival, It goes on TO say: The solo
parts will be sung BY we'll known ar.
lists who have appeared in Colum.
bus before, and have made distinct i'm.
pressions on the music lovers Of the
city.
Miss Alma Beck, the Cincinnati con.
tralto. is remembered here for her
brilliant work with the Cincinnati
Symphony orchestra on last Thanks
giving night. While she came to Col.
umDus at that time practically un.
known she left with a host of warm
admirers.
In addition, the Columbus Musical
Festival will be featured by the work
Of Mrs. Margaret Berry Miller, the
Colorature Soprano, who sang here in
the Woman's Music Club concert last
December, and John A. Hoffman, a
young American tenor, who has just
returned from two years tour abroad
The German musical papers have had
many fine things to say, relatives to
his work and his appearance here will
be awaited with keen anticipation"
Commendations such as this from
the Columbus papers ought to con-
vince every person in Mount Vernon
that they can not afford to miss q
single number of the course. Couple
with this the fact that these artists
are now singing at the Knoxville,
Tenn, May Festival, one of the larg.
est in the South, and will come here
from there, and you give the Mount
Vernon May Festival a prestige that
ought to fire everyone with enthus.

Governor Hays Mud Bound.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Nov. o. Not water bound, but mud bound, Governor C. w. Hays remains on the Arkansas State Farm at Cummins and indications are he will not be rescued before Mon day.
 The State Farm is situated on the Arkansas river, five miles from the railroad at Warner. 1t is reached via bottom road, which had already been badly cut by the heavy wagons which hauled the cotton to the rail road The heavy rains of the past few days put the finishing touches to this thoroughfare, and it is almost impossible to get vehicle over it. The ani- mals pulling vehicles sink to their stomach, and make travel ing so slow that Governor Hays decided he would rather wait until enough rain fell to per- init his getting out by boat, or the weather turned cold enough to freeze the road.
