lby arthur =.
The next quarterly singing conven-
ton, which meets at Glenn, January
l and 2, 1921, will have as its pro-
gram of order, one of the best ar
ticles of this nature, which the
writer has beer privileged to see.

pect but an extremely interesting

mittee? And these noble, trustworthy
gentlemen have not fell back on
the trust and confidence placed upon
them, but have developed a program
which, if the members assigned COM
ply with the requirements of, will be
the basis of one of the most interest
ing as we'll as instructive conventions
held in this county, in several moons,
Among the outstanding features of
the program is the welcome address
by Prof. j. f. Steele. Mr.. Steele who
Is present principal of schools at this
place is one of the pioneer citizens
Of the county. He is considered among
The best instructors in the county,

man is scheduled for the response.
Mr.. Coffman, who recently resigned
from the office of county superinten-
dent, is among the best speakers, and
principal statesman Of the county.

be amply repaid by hearing these two
addresses.

program are songs by "'ich un-eX'
celled leaders as J.. A. Carol. Judge

Davenport, Charles Parker and any
other leaders who may happen to be
present. Another feature which vii
no doubt attract many visitors Is the
class singing two songs being expected
from all classes represented; severa
classes have already expressed a de-
sire TO again enter in this event. Pro
vision is also made for solos, duets
ouartets and any other special sing
ing which any class may care TO in
augurate.
