MISS AUBREY GIVES
GRADUATING RECITAL

We produce below a clipping
from the Arkadelphia Siftings-
Herald which contains a program
of recital given by Miss Bessie
Aubrey, daughter of DR.. j. r.
Aubrey of Columbus, who gradu
ates this season in the Ouachita
Conservatory of Music. Miss
Aubrey is talented young lady
and we feel that her many friends
in this county will be glad to read
the program:
During the spring OF each
scholastic year Ouachita college
has recitals by the Senior pupils
of the Conservatory. Already two
of these recitals have been given.
The first was by Miss Elizabeth
Aubrey of Columbus, assisted by
Miss Fletcher of Augusta in the
following program:

certo F sharp minor, Orchestral
accompaniment Hitler. Sonata,

/, Valse from Suite for two pianos)
-Arensky."
The second program follows
and then the clipping continues:
Both programs were attended
by the music loving people of our
city and both were enjoyed by'all.
In every way these young ladies
reflect credit on their Alma
Mater.
In Sinding'S Song Without
Words" and "Marche," by Mac
Dowel, Miss Aubrey wasiespecial-
ly pleasing. The greatest charm
of the programs was the intel

Developments following the re-

that these planters and tenants
have already learned the import
ance of acting promptly, so the
only heavy damage, so far as is
now known, resulting from the

been the washing away OF a con-

been any excuse for panic and
