Ledbetter Charms an Audience at Atlantic Beach HoteL What was by far the most delightful iiocial affair of tbe season was tbe gathering ia tbe parlors of the Atlan? tic Beach Hotel on Monday evening, which developed into a concert, vaude? ville and general jollification. Tbe affair was entirely impromptu. Tbe * evening was delightfully pleasant as to weather, and as the hotel is the socal center, everybody^gafhered^ there as bj instinct. There were perhaps .150 guests from outside cottages assembled in addition to the regular guests of the hotel. No one really anticipated the treat in store and the program which followed was more pleasant in conse? quence. Mr. C. B.' Garrett took charge of j the exercises, as he usually takes j charge of every th icg else. Mr. Garret : ? STganize a chorus led by himself and the audience seemed remarkably, ap- ! peciative. The climax of the occasion was yet i fco come, as the company, reaized, j whep Mrs. Harry Owsley, of Elberton, j Ga. Mrs. Scott Ledbetter's mother, j began singing. Mrs. Owsley is gifted j with a voice, sweet. ,tiue, powerful, and which Mrs. Owsiey makes more effective by ber wonderful powers of j ^expression. Sbe-sang several solos, all of which were roundly applauded and encored. One who was greatly responsible for the pleasure cf the evening was Mrs. Robinson, of Atlanta, wi o played the ?accompaniments for the musical nun-- .j hers Mrs. Robinson is a pianist of i great ability, and when called upon to! accompany, a singer she displays that ! almost rare sympathy of touch that is so great an aid to the vocal soloist. ' Of a different type of voice, but'just ac- well appreciated was the singing of Mrs. Henry Busch, Jr., of Aiken, 3 j C., who rendered several solos and| : received a full share of applause? A gifted young virtuoso is Master ? Philip Greene, who bails from Atlanta, I and is stopping at the Atlantic Beach j Hotel with his mother, Mrs. J. A. j Greene, and his sister. Miss Laurie Green. Master Philip is but ll years of age, but be plays a violin with the skill and grace of a much older musi? cian. . His rendition of the famous : music of classic au popular typcs was skillful and indicative of the future master of bis beloved instrument. ' The youthful musician was aided in his efforts by the accompaniments played by bis sister, Miss Laurie JGreene. The spice of variety was added to 'the evening's program when Mrs. Led? better, of Sumter, S. C.. recited se ve? ?a! darky character sketches. Mrs. Xedbetw has well trained elocution? ary powers, and on this evemog she was "at her best." Her comic selec^ iions were received and in responding tc encores the speaker always surpris cd and delighted ber audience with ^Ettne selection that seemed more jannsing than the ene preceding. The company dispersed at 11.30, and sow all are wishing for the spesdy return of a like occasion.-Island Life. How's This?

They called * attention to the fact that this resolution was in conflict with the law of the state on the' Sunday question, and should for that; reason be. rescinded. And for the further ^reason that the law recog? nizes the right of every one to rest from his ordinary labors on the Sab . * - ??? ? ?, * . 'bath without taking into' considera? tion the morai, and religious, phase of the matter. They realized that drugs, ice and milk should be-allowed, hut 'thought that no other exceptions should be made. They further called attention to the flagrant violation of fthe Sunday ordinance by the sale of j fso?t drinks," and asked that the po jlice be instructed to enforce the law I rigidly. The matter was taken up in regular order after and due discussion the following resolution was unani? mously adopted: ."Resolved, That the resolution- of city council adopted April 27th, 1900, in reference to the Sunday ordinance, be rescinded, so. as to make the said ordinance conform to the law of the state; except so far as it applies to drugs, milk, ice and 'vehicles.. And *his law shall not be evaded by giving away soda water, coca cola, milk shakes or other soft drinks, ice cream, tobacco, cigars, etc And dispensing such articles by any means or in any manner, or allowing them to be dis? pensed, shall be deemed a violation of the ordinance." ' The police committee was requested to instruct the police force to enforce the ordinance strictly: Minutes of June 28 and July 6 were read and approved. An ordinance to permit N. G. Os teen, Jr., and associates to erect and operate *gas works was < read for the first time. On motion of Mr. Rowland it was Resolved, That parties applying to council for franchises be required to pay the'sum of $25 to cover expenses of preparation and publication of ordinances." The clerk was instructed to prepare an ordinance carrying the resolution into effect, should that be necessary. Mr. Rowland, for the finance com? mittee, reported approval of bills re? ferred to them and recommended re? newal of the lease to Mr. J. W. Mc Keiver. Action on this recommenda? tion was postponed, and the commit? tee granted time to ascertain the date from which the new lease shall run. Mr. Haynsworth, for the committee of public worKs, reported that the city laborers are now laying drain from the Walsh pond and trimming trees. They could not report definitely in regard to extension of streets in Ward Xo. 1 and were granted further tinfe. * Report of the special committee, submitted June 2Sth, in reference to lighting contract was taken up and unanimously adopted in absence of any further communication from the company. ' > An ordinance extending the fire limits was read and adopted and ordered published under a resolution dispensing with the second reading. A resolution was .passed to the effect that no permits will be granted to alt??r or add to any wooden building within the fire limits. v-je' The clerk and treasurer's report for June was referred to the finance committee, and also the following claims: G.
