Miss Erin Ballard Accompan'
les Noted Singer

The friends of Miss Erin Bal
lard, the talented daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. D. S. Ballard, of
Tupelo, are watching her progress
in the musical world and will
read with interest the following
account of an entertainment in
Montclair, New Jersey, January
9Th. when Miss Ballard was &C.
companiest to a talented singer,
Miss Margaret Sumner. of New
York City, for her production of
the fairy opera, "Hansel and
G~retel," by Humperdinck:
Miss Sumner, originally a
Boston girl, as a protege of Nine.
Gadski, student for grand opera
for several years in Europe, at
one time beng a student of the
royal opera at Dresden. In Gretel
the talented young artist found
her most beloved role, and her
conception of producing the en-
tire opera as a solo entertainment
has materialized most delightfully."-
and successfully. Mrs. Frank,
Walter Damroch and other celeb
rites of New York City are her
patrons. Possessed of a rich
voice. her fine register and per-
feet control produced not only
one sweet voice, but each char
acter in the opera, with it's own
peculiar information, was interpo-
lated in the recital of all the
events of the story with remark
able representations. The beau
tiful overture of the opera and
all the accompaniment were
played on the piano by Miss Erin
Reyes Ballard, of Tupelo, Miss,
now of Richmond Hill, N. Y,
who works with the great accom-
paniest, Frank La Forge, and to
whose excellent assistance Miss
pays tribute"

Always be kind to me, and

Give me all possible shelter
from the hot sun, and put a
blanket on me when | am stand

Never put a frosty bit in my
mouth; first warm it in your

And in conclusion may | ask
that when my useful strength is
gone, that you will not turn me
out to starve or freeze to death
or sell me to some cruel owner to
be slowly tortured to death, but
do thou, Oh! my master, take
my life, in the kindest way, and
your God will reward you openly

agents who held in 1915 1865
meetings which were attended
