AN IMPROMPTU CONCERT.
Sirs. 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.

peared before council and requested
t?at they rescind a resolution of coun?
cil Adopted April 27, 19OG, permitting
"the sale of drugs, cigars, tobacco, ice
and milk and the hiring of vehicles
on " Sunday." 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
