The sixth -annual one-day convention of the United Christian Missionary society for this district will be held Oct 25 at the Kingshighway Christian church of this city These one-day gatherings constitute the greatest convention enterprise of the Disciples of Christ In point of attendance and last year broke all previous records with a total attendance of 54039 Because of the great popularity of these conventions it was found necessary to hold 201 of them this year covering all sections of the United States and parts of Canada The general theme of the conventions is "Sharing with Christ" The morning session will open at 10 o'clock with a service leading to high levels of spiritual power This will be followed by a program of unusual interest covered by agenda which will be

professor of violin at Centenary college and comes to us from the chair of music at the State Normal In Natchitoches is a pastmaster of his art The strains that vibrated from his old Arnett violin were entrancing and coupled with the exquisitely harmonious accompaniment of Mrs Proudfit must have delighted the angel -Israfel" himself Mrs Proudfit is unusually talented both as accompanist and singer Her polished coloratura soprano has a wide range and she was most beautifully accompanied throughout by Miss Patti Zeigler Her outstanding selection was "Charmante Oiseau" (from "La Per le du

attendants and the prisoners Three bullets struck Bracken and he died almost instantly The prisoner was being held for authorities who were to take him to the penitentiary at Huntsville BY SUNFLOWER DALY Somebody must have failed to inform the buddies of the American Legion of plans to go over the top for last evening's concert given under auspices of that organization by Martha Attwood soprano of the Metropolitan Opera company and Alessandro Alberint baritone For the audience was small including mostly the musicians of the city and I think it safe to say there were not a dozen legionnaires present Perhaps it Is no part of my duty to chide them but I could not help remarking their absence: the singers too must have felt it As a matter of fact the handful of Shreveporters present were almost 'lost" in the big auditorium of Byrd High school where the concert was held and there was a sort of chill over the entire proceedings: indeed it would have been remarkable if Miss Attwood and Mr Alberini had found it possible to put into their efforts that enthusiasm anci spirit so necessary to the complete success of an undertaking such as theirs Both are gifted with voices of fine 'quality and the program offered was varied enough to meet all tastes and all there was lacking that something which only filled seats can give Perhaps the high spot of the evening's entertainment came with the singing of a number entitled "Proposal" written by Miss Towns-ley the accompanist and dedicated to Miss Attwood In response to insistent demands Miss Attwood responded with a negro spiritual "Wait Till I Put on My Crown" which was beautifully rendered Mr Alberinrs best number I thought was Tosti's "Could though he sang it in familiar air "caught on" with those present There were two duets by Miss Attwood and Mr Alberini and by special request Miss Townsley gave a piano number playing "The Dance of the Gnomes" by Liszt The program was as follows: Rammentr (Cam-pane) Miss
