The reference is to the Laurens Choral Society. Beginning as a voluntary associa tion of a few music lovers from the different choirs of the city, I under stand thoy have since perfected an or ganization with the usual complement of ollleers such as president, secretary and treasurer and so on, and also in creased their membership by the ad mission of such as are able and will ing to assist: so that now tho society numbers some forty odd. Since tho first of this present year they have given some five or six performances for charitable purposes at home and abroad, that have realized between three and four hundred dollars for Worthy causes besides affording pleas uro to hundreds of people. Tho work' they do is no longer that of amateurs. Some of us who enjoyed "The Naza rene" of last year never supposed thai its excellence would be surpassed but "Saul. King of Israel"' marks an ad vance. Such Choral and individual work does not come by chance. It shows work and real work, on the part of both trainer and trained. Any community is fortunate in numbering among its citizens such musicians and vocalists and no better advertisement could be given of the tastes and tal ent of our community than that being given us by the pirollc performances of the Lnttrons Choral Society. Sue cess and long life to them is the wish of, A Bald Head. I hereby announce myself as a can didate for the office of County Com missioner and promise to abide by the rostllt of the Democratic primary. AUSTIN ABERCROMBIE. ONE MORE CHANCE TO GET 1 Qt. E. Z.
