MAY FESTIVAL TO
/. Be DISCUSSED AT
MEET OF CHORUS
Singers Must Attend The Re-
hsarsals Or Festival Will
Be Given Up

An important rehearsal of the Fes-
tival Chorus will be held tonight at
the Baptist church at 1880 sharp.
AT this meeting, according to a
statement made on Monday by Di-
rector w. M. Coup, the future of the
chorus will be discussed and an effort
made to determine whether it is pos
sible to have a successful festival
this year.
"The attendance at rehearsals THUS
far this year." said Mr.. Coup, has
been very disappointing. Many Of the
old members have not thus far put in
an appearance, and the number OF
new singers has not by any means
Ismade mp for the loss. Unless more
interest is shown, and shown at once,
|i.@ 4 Is useless to attempt to- continue
the organization" rcs
The five, May festivals which have
been given by the association have
drawn statewide attention to Mt.
Vernon as a musical center. That 1t
would be a serious blow to the COM
munity to disband the chorus is ac-
knowledged by all But unless the
high standard set in former years can
be maintained, and a chorus of 100 to
125 secured, the officers of the asso-
citation are a unit in agreeing no fes-
tival will be given this year.
Singers who are unable to attend
the rehearsal tonight, but will agree
to come in the future, have been
asked to notify Mrs. c. II. Crumley.

MOULTON

Moulton. December 3-(SpeciaLl Through the efforts of Tax Commissioner Will shelton. the assessments of real estate and other properties arc being raised about 9 per cent over the past estimates. There is, of course, obJec- tions to this, but it is only as the assess ments approach the lawful 60 per cent of valuations that the schools of the county will be able to run six months or more. and that the county may be able to meet it's just and reasonable ex- penses.
 Up to Christmas Eve, 623 dogs had been registered, and yet that is not all in the county. The number of poll taxes col lected now stands at above 75o.
 As the mud increases in the county the interest in the forthcoming good road amendment election is more noted. 1t appears now that there will be no votes against the measure in the county. But little interest is manifested in the coming election relative to city taxing privilege, so far as Lawrence county is concerned
