The Civic Entertainment a Treat.
j The great throng of people
who assembled in the town hall
Friday night to hear the musical
recital, given for the benefit of
the "Ladies Civic Society,"
I came away delighted. Well
i they might have been delighted ,
; for the program was full to overflowing
with sweet piano solos
and duets, catchy choruses and
i charming recitations. Especial
mention should be made of the
two solos "When The Whipoorwill
Sings Marguerite" and
"Shuberts Serenade," these two
; gems of the sonfc-world were
rendered almost sublimely and
I every auditor rendered the verdict
"well done.". We give
credit to the graded school teachers
for the success of the evening.
Miss Smith with her perfect
accompaniment and well trained
music pupils, Miss Garrison with
I her superbly selected chorus of i
the primary "tots," Miss Poag !
with her sweet voice and charm-j
ing demeanor and Prof. Love j,
with his deep, mellow, bass j
voice, without which,- no quartette
would have been complete. ;
To the others who took part in
the program, we would add a
I word of commendation for every
j voice was well rounded and each
! and every one did his part e'tftra;
ordinarily well.
The Civic Society realized '
quite a neat little sum from the
door receipts, and refreshments,
; which were served after the
performance. Miss Roberta
Thornwell presided at the refreshment
booth and so well
did she talk her wares, that 'ere
fifteen minutes had elapsed, after
the curtain was rung down,

The entertainment was a success
and it is to be hoped that
our town folk will be again so
favored in the near future.
