Mrs. George Garrett Ityers Captivates an Asheville Audience. The Asheville Gazette of Friday has the following complimentary ref erence to Mrs. George Garrett Byers, B. G. Clary" 11 I ° f this cit y : 1 La-t evening at the auditorium George Krujer, pianist, of Cincinna’i, and Mrs. Byers, vocalist, of Gaffney, scored a pronounced musical triumph in the concert given under the au spices of the Southern Music Teach ers’ Association. “Mrs. Byers, the vocalist, possesses a soprano voice of musical sweetness and was encored again and again af ter her second number. Among her songs were ‘At 1’artiug’ and ‘The Slumber Boat.’ The first named was particularly well sung, Mrs. Byers’ voice suiting the limpid, ten der phrases of this selection.” The Citizen of the same date con tained the following: “Many Asheville people who enjoy superior music missed an opportunity last evening by staying away from the concert which was given at the auditorium by Mr. Krujer, pianist, of the Cincinnati conservatory, and Mrs. Byers, vocalist, of Gaffney. “Mrs. Byers (who, by the way, consented at G o’clock to appear, the singer who was expected from Cincin nati having failed to come) revealed a silvery voice of singular sweetness. She sang two groups of little songs, responding to an encore after her second appearance. Her ‘Sweetest Flower That Grows’ was especially delightful.” KNOW what a really complete <lrug store this is—and how well we serve your every need in store drug things. Nothing hut the best here.

Users of “Clifton” can’t he satisfied with any other kind. “Clifton” has established a new standard of purity and the highest excellence. If you have not used “Clifton” recently, you should by all all means instruct your grocer to send you a sack when you order flour again. Don’t let him persuade you he has “something just as good.” He may be buying other so-called patent flour at a little less than he pays for “Clifton,” and he naturally wants to push this on you because he makes a few cents more on it.
