The recital given in the Baptist church
on Tuesday evening under the auspices of
the Music club was something that the
people of this city do not often have the
privilege of hearing. Frank w. Farmer.
the tenor soloist. was about the finest that
has ever come to Rocky Ford. Every
number on the program was gem and
Mr.. Farmer had his audience with him
from the beginning. Unlike most artists
he makes place for Gospel hymns and
in the two sung. "TheStranger OF Gallee"
and "Beautifui Ialley of Eden" he was
certainly unsurpassed. Mr.. Farmer is a
finished singer with wonderfully clear
snunciation. Miss Taub was a most
sympathetic aocompanist and many re-
grets were heard that she had not place
on the program other than accompanst.
The Music club is to be congratulated on
bringing these artists to our city.
The Monday Evening Literary Society
met at the home OF H. B. Mendenhall

whether they would have any tax to pay.
