young pupil, Miss Mamie Luara Harris

The appreciative audience which gath
cred to hear this young musician mar
yelled at the poise, grace and splendid
technique of this little girl. Difficult
pieces were rendered by her with eX-
preston and ease. Her friends and
those of her teacher and parents, con-
graduated her on this splendid occa-
sion. Miss Bula Bivins who assisted
little Miss Mamie Laura with several
vocal numbers added greatly to the
program
Miss Bivins has a sweet soprano
voice of splendid volume and her
numbers were warmly received and
heartily encored. A surprise came for
the audience when at the close of the
prepared program Cordele's baby mu-
sician, Little Mary Ballenger, walked
out on the stage with the composure
of a "grown-up" and seating herself
at the piano, played with beauty and
expression, a lovely piano selection.
