R. PLOWDEN. President. A Grand Concert. The celebrated Helen May Butler band gave an exhibition of musical talent in Manning last Wednesday evening, which won for them the praise of the music loving community, and. if ever they should visit launiug again, the "standing room only" sign will be put out early. This band is composed of ladies entirely, and it is an aggregation of well-bred young women who conduct themselves with such dignity as to com mand respect at sight. We have con siderable knowledge of the manage ment of the organization, havin come in contact with it during our connec tion with the Charleston exposition, and when we recommended the band to our critical community we did so with a full knowledge of the prejudice to wards "traveliug show people." This" band of girls are musical students, an all of them can produce the best of credentials. The numbers played here were very sweetly rendered, and most of them were of the popular catchy kind, but there were also some numbers of classic :rder. Miss Smith who directed the music, handled her baton with an ease ind grace that would put Soussa to blush, she is a woman of fine presence, ind an enthusiastic musician. The 'Cosmopolitan American" one of the umbers, was composed by Miss Butler vnd was only played twice before it was rendered here. It is an excellent piece Af music a copy of which was presented to the writer, and it is a medley of En ish, French, German and American music, cosmopolitan, as its name indi lates. Little Vashti, a nine year old ;rl with golden earls caught the audi ence with her rendition of a solo on a F'rench alto horn, and her performance was astounding; all of the solos were ell rendered, but the trombone by Miss Lillian Littlehales was certainly i great piece of triple tongueing and sidng,she plaved"Rocked in theCradle )f the Deep" and so well did she please ,he audience that notwithstanding her hard work she had to respond to the ?ncore and played "My Old Kentucky Rome." All of the soloists were en :red, and deservedly so. Those who lid not attend certainly missed a de ightful evening's entertainment and hose who (lid attend saw sixteen very pretty modestly behaved young women who gave the finest performance that as ever been staged in Manding.

The day before Easter I wrs so distress with a cold and cough that i did not think to be able to take any duties the next day,as my voice was almost choked by the ecugh. The same day I received an order from you for a bottle of your Cough Remedy. I at once procured a sample bottle, and took about three three doses of the medicine. To my great relief the cough and cold had completely disappeared and I was able to preach three times on Easter Day. I know that this rapid and effective cure was due to your Cough Remedy.
