was rich and used to the best society

in dress. One weighs ninety pounds
and the other-much more.
Practically all of the gray-haired

ing and were enthusiastically en-
cored by the audience but none were
as much enjoyed as the song by the
twins" They sang "Old Black
joe" and Phoebe simply could not
keep up with Melissa any closer than
two lines behind. So when Melissa
had finished the first verse she would
inpatiently tell Phoebe to "come on,
who would most emptatically sing
"I'm coming" and continue to
sing.
At the end of the play when the
audience encored for the players to
re-appear, the curtain went up on a
beautiful tableaux. The twenty-threc
"girls" attractively grouped with
bowed heads and crimson lights being
thrown on the tableaxu made beau

three members of the Richland band
played old-time ballads on the cornet,
saxophone and trombone.
The Richland band furnished mu-
sic before and after the play and
was thoroughly enjoyed.

OPEN JAN. /, NOW PLAN

RICHLAND, Dec. 13.-At the De-
cember meeting of the American Lee
gion Auxiliary Friday afternoon, it
was decided to try to open the World
War Memorial Library at Richland
January /. The exact location of
the library has not been~decided, but
the auxiliary hopes to be able to Sc
cure the building used by the Peo-
pies Bank of Richland before its con-
solidation with the Bank of Rich
land. The officials of the bank may
permit the auxiliary to use the build
ing free of charge. If this building
cannot be secured the auxiliary hopes
to find some office in the business sec
ton that will be easily accessible.
The auxiliary has at present over
two hundred books and more are
coming in. After spending the money
now on hand for books, there will be
around 400 volumes in the library
when itsopens. At least third Of
these will be books for children by
the best authors and also reference
books.
There will be charge of twenty
cents month for memberships. The
borrowing of only one book at a
time will be permitted, but when the
library grows each member will be
allowed two books.
The library will be open4on Tues
day afternoons from 2:30 to 4:30
and on Saturday morning from 900
to HOO.

HAIRED
SOPRANO HIT OF
PARSONAGE PLAY

RICHLAND, Dec. 13.-Twenty-
three ladies of the Methodist church
presented the one act farce and tab
leaux can Old Fashioned Tea Party"
Friday night at the school auditor
ium. The purpose Of the play was
to raise funds to repaint the par
sonage.
Long before the curtain went up
the house was so crowded that there
did not seem to be room for even
one more, but the crowd continued
to pour in. Finally the aisles, doors
and windows were filled and the
sides of the auditorium were lined
with spectators and many had to
stand in the hall just outside of the
auditorium.
The play was excellently rendered.
Each actor was so good that it is i'm
possible to pick out one star, unless
it be Grandma Loganbecker, played
by Mrs. Ella P. Mayo. It took no
paint, powder, powdered hair or diff
ferent costume for her, nor any stage
acting to fill the part of the sweet,
lovable old lady in the story Dur
ing 1.-The ''tea" some of the girls"
called for song by grandma and
Nancy Grey, who in real life is Miss
Nancy Mayo, real daughter of
grandma. The audience was thrill
ed by the suprano voice of Mrs. Mayo
and the equally lovely alto voice Of
Miss Mayo and by the fact that a
person of Mrs. Mayao's age, who is
several times real grandma"
should have such a remarkable voice,
that the encoring lasted for several
minutes after the end of the song
and until they consented to sing
again.
Among the co1stafs were Mrs. Ora
Wilson, who splendidly portrayed the
role of Sarah" hostess of the tea
Deborah, played by Mrs. P. Wall
Miss EVE Macon in the difficult role
of the suffering Cynthia; Mrs. Willie
Bell as Mary Ann; Mrs. J. J. Gordy
and Mrs. D. R. Turner as Jemima and
her very, very bashful granddaugh-
ter, Martha; Miss jamie Statham, as
Belinda, the only old maid in this
bunch of school friends of forty
years ago, and who was proud Of her
black locks and fresh complexion, and
! who never ceased to powder her
face and fix her hair during the en-
tire tea party, except for few mo-
ments when she would occasionally
stop to play with her life companion
IA cat; Mrs. Mulkey, as Emily, who
