It is an entertai-nmen: that few of us. if any, can afford to Miss and the Daughters are fortunate in ;ecuring this delightful as well as in tructive evening. The outside world has never had in the years gone by, and will never have in the years to ome, any truer onception of the pe culiar relations that existed between "Ole Marster and Mistress" and those who called them such in the days of Dixie. Mrs. Carroll has had great success with her recitals not only in Augusta but in many other places. She has wiven entertainments in Athens. un der the auspices of Y. M. C. A. and has been invited also to Baltimore. We hope she will be greeted by a large audience. The following endorsements from men of prominence in .her home town will give one some idea of the charm and success of her recitals. Augusta. Ga., Dec. 9, 1908.
