The Entertainment a Success The entertainment at the M. E. church last Friday evening was one of rare ability in every respect, as all the young ar tists who took part showed a wonderful skill attained only by hard work and persistent practice. The exercises opened with a very finely arranged overture by the orchestra. The singing of the anthem by a number of voices was wortny of much praise, and the recitation by Miss Wells and the piano solos by the Misses Louise Bishop, Kate Hovey and Iva Brown were nicely rendered and greatly to the credit of the performers.

Their selections were rich and very difficult to render. The vocal solos by Mrs. Charles Low and Miss Kate Hovey were excellent, and gave evidence of thorough training. They received hearty applause. The finale by the orchestra was one of the greatest musical contributions out The different imitations of bands, steamboats, thunderstorms and the like were finely executed and greatly enjoyed.

The general opinion of those who at tended is that it was by far the best entertainment ever given in this place, and much praise is given Mr. T. D.
