able progressive whist party given by

one. Each table was named for a well
known author and the score cards con
tained names of characters in some of
these authors' works. When the cards
were drawn each gentleman took for his
partner the lady whose card bore the
name of the character that corresponded
with his, and they were seated at the
table bearing their author's name as the
gentleman having the Romeo card would
take for his partner the lady having
Juliet card, and they would sit at Shake
speare table.
The prizes, with the exception of the
gentlemen's consolation, were all china
articles beautifully decorated by Mrs. G.

A Valuable Instrument.
Mr. Alfred Sommer of the Holly Inn
orchestra has recently come into posses
sion of a remarkably fine violoncello
made by Ferdinando Gagliano, a famous
instrument maker who resided in Naples
from 1740 to 1780. 'Cellos of this make
are now very rare, and possess a richness
of tone that only age can give. They
are therefore much sought after by
musicians, and the fortunate possessor of
one can rarely be persuaded to part with
it at any price.
The story of the discovery of Mr.
Sommer's 'cello is interesting. The in
strument formerly belonged to an old
Frenchman in Iowa, in whose family it
had been for over a hundred years, and
was used by him in playing at the
country dances in the neighborhood
where he lived. While riding home
from one of these social gatherings a
member of the party fell on the instru
ment and smashed it so badly that its
owner despaired of having it repaired.
Accordingly it was laid away among a
lot of dirt and rubbish where it remained
for a number of years. Mr. Sommer
heard of the instrument and on going to
see it at once recognized its true value,
and having purchased it sent it to an
expert to be repaired.
The 'cello arrived in Pinehurst about
two weeks ago. Since then Mr. Sommer
has used it at the concerts given by the
orchestra in the music room at Holly
Inn, and has delighted his audiences by
the exquisite music that he draws from
this sweet-toned instrument. Mr. Som
mer possesses musical talent of a high
order and the 'cello could hardly have
fallen into better hands. The instrument
is valued at several thousand dollars.
Progressive Whist.
The regular bi-weekly whist party was
held in the Village Hall last Monday
evening as usual, and was well attended.
Seventeen tables were tilled and the fol
lowing were the fortunate winners of the
prizes : 1st ladies' prize, a souvenir teapot,
Mrs. D. H. Wheeler; 2d ladies' prize,
piece of bric-a-brac, Mrs. Curtis; ladies'
consolation prize, a sachet, Miss Esther
Copeland; 1st gentlemen's prize, "Ban
danna Ballads," a tie between Mr. Tom
Barber and Mrs. Francis E. Iliggins, and
on the cut Mrs. Iliggins lost and so took
the second gentlemen's prize, a bag tag ;
gentlemen's consolation prize, box of
chocolates, Mr. II. Grattan Donnelly.
Mr. Donnelly was the winner of the first
gentlemen's prize at the last village
whist party.
During the evening ice cream and cake
were served by the Holly Inn. Mesdames
Stowe and Barber were the committee in
charge of the arrangements and again
proved fully equal to occasion. The
affair was one of the pleasantest enter
tainments of the winter and all present
are looking forward to the next with
many happy anticipations.
Sunday Evening Concert.
The regular weekly concert by the
Holly Inn orchestra was held in the
music room at the Holly Inn last Sunday
evening and was attended by the largest
audience of the season. All the num
bers on the program were well rendered,
the vocal numbers being especially fine,
and the 'cello solo by Mr. Sommer was
heartily encored. A pleasing addition
to the printed program was the vocal

cott conducted communion service in the
small room at the Village Hall.
At 11 a. 111. the Episcopal service was
held in the Village Hall, conducted by

attention by the large audience present.

joyable solo, and Miss Carpenter kindly
presided at the piano.
Sunday school was held at noon, with
a large number present.
The Christian union service was held
at 3.15 p. m. and was well attended. Rev.
C. M. Emery preached a very interesting
sermon. A pleasing feature of this service
was a duet by Mrs. Bradbury and Miss
Esther 11. Smith. Mrs. Braabury kindly
presided at the piano at this service and
in the evening.
The prayer and praise service at 7.15
p. m. was well attended, as usual, and
was led by Rev. Mr. Wrenn.
Enlightening Him.
The tendency of most doctrines is to
be very narrow, and the loyalty for a
particular church is "bred in the bone,''
as a certain little Memphis boy bears
witness.
His mother was telling him of the
childhood of Christ, and in the course of
her story said that Christ was a Jew.
The little fellow looked up at her in
wide-e3red astonishment and said in an
a wed voice :
"Why, mother I always thought that
the Lord was a Presbyterian." 31emphis
