A MUSICAL TREAT IN STORE.

The Ladies' Aid Society of Union
Church at st. Joseph has arranged
to have very high class musical at
the Masonic Hall on next Tuesday
evening, the proceeds above expenses
to go toward building the Sunday
School annex to the Union Church.
Arrangements have been made
with Mrs. X. Lee Wood, the we'll
known singer, and Miss Enochs, the
popular pianist, of Natchez, to be
with us for the occasion, and Miss
Majorie Davidson of st. Joseph has
also kindly consented to sing, which
insures a treat of unusal interest to
our people. An admission fee of 30
cents will be charged for adults and
% cents for children, and we under
stand refreshments will he on sale.
As stated the proceeds are to be
applied to the building of the annex
to the church, which is now so
greatly needed, because of the in
creasing size of the Sunday School,
which is INSTRUMENTATION. This
matter is one of interest to every
body and is deserving of every en-
enlargement. a very nice sum has
already been raised by volunteer
contribution and it is hoped that
with the results of this entertain
ment the work of construction can
: son begin. In addition to assisting
most laudahle cause, the musical
treat is one of exceptional attraction,
rs each lady is a star in her particu-
lar role. We sincerely hope the eff
forts Of the ladies who are promot-
ing this affair will be literally re-
warded.
