On last Friday night one of the largest and most brilliant audiences of the season assembled at Lime stone College to hear Miss Loulle Potter in her graduation piano re cital. The stage was beautifully de corated with palms and ferns. Promptly at half-past eight Miss Pot ter entered, receiving much applause. Her first number was a Bach prelude, followed by pieces by Massanet and Mokrejs. At the conclusion of this group Miss Potter was presented with two magnificent boquets of roses and carnations, and with some gifts from friends and societies of which she is a member. Miss Dew then played the Soiree do Vienne by Schuhert-Llszt, which received merited applause. This number was followed by one of the most interesting of the sonatas by Mozart, played by Miss Potter, at the close of which she was again presented with flowers and gifts. One of Schubert’s Impromptus was then heard, played by Miss Churchill, and wag well received. Miss Potter then played two of the most popular con cert numbers which are often seen on programs—the valse from Faust and the Moszkomski E major valse. These two numbers made a splendid impression, and they were indeed splendidly played Technical difficul ties did not seeni to exist as Miss Potter played them. Mr. Loring then played “Polka de Concert’’ by Bart lett. We have heard this composition played many times and in many ways, but it toob on new life as Mr. Loring played it. We have seldom heard more applause at any concert in Gaff ney than was accorded Mr. Loring at the end of this number. The audience clamored for an encoure, hoping he would repeat the same piece, hut af ter bowing his acknowledgements three times in response to the con tinued applause, the programme con cluded with Miss Potter’s rendition of El Dorado, also written by Bart lett. Altogether it was one of the most enjoyable concerts we have heard at Limestone College, and Miss Potter is to he congratulated upon her suc cess. DID YOU EVER STOP TO TtllHK?

In a certain county of Arkar sas a man named Walters was put o i trial for stealing a watch. The e 1 idence had been very conflicting, and as the jury retired the judge rf marked suavely that if he could afford any as sistance in the way of smoof ng out possible difficulties he should he most happy to do so. Eleven of th ! jurors had filed out of the box, but the twelfth remained, and there was on his countenance an expression indicat ing great perplexity. “Is there any question you’d like to ask me before you retire?” asked his honor, observing the juror’s hesi tancy. The man’s face brightened. “Yes, your honor,” he replied eagerly. “I’d like to know, your honor, whether the prisoner really stole the watch.” VALUABLE PROPERTY FOR SALE- The city council of Gaffney will sell to the highest bidder on Salesday In February, just after the official sales, the property known as the Miss Jane Nott property on Limestone street, consisting of four and one-half acres.
