The Sacred Concert.

Tomorrow, Thursday, evening,
commencing at s:l5, the ladies Of
the Presbyterian church will give
sacred concert in their church.
A very attractive musical pro-
eramme, consisting of solos, duets
and choruses, has been arranged.
In addition to the best local talent,
Miss Battle of Augusta will sing
several solos. The people Of Edge
field have heard this sweet singer
before and were charmed with her
voice. Considering the attractive
ness of the programme ana the
wortbiness of the cause, we do not
believe the people of Edgeteld will
have to be urged to attend the con-
cert Thursday evening. No collec'
ton will be taken but a voluntary
silver offering will be made at the
door.
