FINE MUSIC AND SONG
AT THE DIXIE PRIDE

The Colony theater at NewlIano fur
nished the colonists, neighbors, and
friends one of the finest programs of
the season, on the evening of October
30. The orchestra is getting better all
the time and opened with splendid
march. Comrade Gaddis favored the
audience with baritone solo, accom-
panied on the piano by Mrs. Gaddis.
Comrade Harry Bell created a sensa-
ton with his vivid representation of
the role of rather inebriated individ-
ual and the song Good night, Mr..
Brown, I'm out" Comrade Sutton
pleased exceedingly with flute solo,
an instrument that he plays wonder
fully well, accompanied by Nh. Mar
tin. Miss Beulah Gaddis played a solo
on the piano and was heartily applau-
ded. Fred Hemman, Sr. executed one
of his fine violin solos for the delecta-
ton of all present, and always arouses
the finest of feelings by his wonderful
witchery upon that instrument. Miss
Trixie Ewell furnished the next fine
treat of the evening with one Of her
splendid piano solos that always arouse
the enthusiastic appreciation of the
audience. And then Comrade Bell, to
complete his triumph of the evening
appeared in an appropriate continue
and with considerable action thrown
in. sang "The GalIoping Major" and
with it carried off the honors of the
evening. He possesses a high grade Of
talent for mimicry and could hardly
be excelled by professional. A final
selection from the orchestra closed a
highly enjoyable entertainment. Many

United States has the power to prevent
it.
I'VE can force disarmament in Wash

The United States has such a

By our great strength we can elimin-

driving the world on to the war that
will be the extinction of civilization.
Ours may be the glory attained by no
other country in history.
War has got to be stopped now,
Irwin asserted. ''War has become so
dangerousathat if it is not stopped in
time, the race is not going to survive
and civilization will be totally extin-
guished."

costumes were represented in the mot

floor. 1t was almost too crowded for
comfort, but even if couples now and
then collided with one another, it was
taken in good nature. The grand
march took place at nine o'clock.
When it was ended and everybody un-
masked, some very surprized faces be-
came in evidence. Two flashlight pic
lures were taken. to perpetuate the
joyous scenes of the evening.
