The members of the honorable

the glorious fourth by holding their

districts of the county and especially
among those shat have not hereto

THE NEWPORT BAND

The Newport band has recently
been re-organized and is now active
ly engaged in practice, having already
filed an engagement very creditably
furnishing music for the Fourth of
July celebration. Visitors in the
city commented upon the excellent
music furnished by the band and
were surprised that they had made
such progress in the short time that
they have been practising. Some Of
our citizens did not even know that
we rad home band IN our midst.
We certainly should encourage
the lcys in their ersorts to be:oms
expert musicians, at least we should
give them a good word now AID
then, end let them lsnow that we are
behind them with our co. operation.
Bands have been organized in
johnson City, Athens, Greenevilie,
Morrisrt WI and scV:ecville, ami all
of them are making excellent head
way, and we are certainly not gong
to let them get anead of US. The
citizens OF these towns are eacour-
aging their boys in an effort to OBJ
tain better and mora music.
IT is gratifying to know that the
reml ers of the Newport band are
Eli hoys who are old musicians. and
in the course of very short tine
we ere expecting ihcm to give Us
open sir concerts on cur streets one
or two nights each week, and to en-
tertain us at other times and places
with some good music.
When you meet Ole Of the boys on
the street, pat him or the back and
insist that he push the band with all
his vigor and might. That's the
only way to show ycur interest AMI
cooperation in home town organ
i,ation.

MISS SUsoNC'S RECITAL

On last Thursday, June 30th, a.
the high school auditorium, Miss
Eleanor Susong, late Of Southern
college, Petersburg, Virginia, gave .
repetition of her graduating conce..
This recital was under the auspices
of the Mothers club of Newport, and
the entire proceeds went to the park
fund being raised by that organiza-
tion. The program included readings
by Miss Doris Minis, and songs by
Miss Clara Clarke and Miss Willie
Mae Sparks.
Miss Susong's execution was a
revelation to the music loving peo-
pie of Newport. Possessed of unus
uol talent in music her training add.
ed everything that could be desired
1t was the unanimous verdict Of hei
audience that she is a musician in nc
truest and broadest sense of the
word.
Notable among ner selections were
Beetboven's Sonata in A Major and
Moskowski's Concert Etude. A mat.
ter worry of especial comment was
Miss Susong's memory work. This
entire program was given from
memory, a feat which seems wei
nigh impossible to the casual op
server.
MISS Minis readings are a never.
ending source of delight. On this o..
casion she charmed her hearers with
an admirable rendition of a clever
sketch entitled "Blue Roses"
Miss Clarke, possessing voice Of
unusual strength and appeal, il
rapidly becoming q favorite with the
music lovers of Newport. Her rem.
dition Of Wilfrid Sanderson's clever
little love song, "The Little Brown
OWL" was especially worthy of ad
miration.
Miss Sparks work is too wei
known to need comment here. Shs
gave q beautiful Interpretation oi
Rudyard Kipling's "Gypsy Trail,
with Miss Mabel Sparks at piano.
