THE ENTERPRISE
RECITAL GIVEN
BY VISITING CHOIR
MUCH ENJOYED
The coming of the choir of St.
Peter's Church, Washington, on Sun
day, to sing in the Episcopal Church
here, was an event greatly enjoyed
by every one attended. There were
aighteen people under the le .dership
of Messrs. Edmund Harding, organ is',
and Mr. Mark Swingley, w>io has
been training the choir for some
months. The local choir had its own
programme, and the two choirs com-'
bined in the kinging of the evening
service, which was conducted by the
rector. Rev. J. E. Warner. Mrs. J. H.
Saunders was at the organ during the
numbers sung by the local choir, and
M r. Swingley, who has for some weeks
been training the choir, sang with
them.
The visiting choir is composed of
well-trained voices, that would please
any critical audience, anil the com
positions selected gave wide scope for
a display of their unusual talent. Mes
dames Mark Swingley and Edward
Brown, and Rev. Stephn Gardner and
Mr. Swingley were soloists. Mr. Carl
Jacobson, violinist, was accompanist,
and the violin solo rendered was
beautiful and gave an added enjoy
ment to the programme.
The people who love good mpsic
were very earnest in pronouncing the
recital the very best ever heard in
the town, and expressed their ap
preciation of the visit of the Washing
ton choir. To those who remember
with strong affection the late Rev.
Thomas Banbury Haugliton, who for i
twenty Ave years was rector of the .
Church of the Advent, ft was pleasing
to see his grandson, Haughton Han- i
dolph, acting as Crusifer, and leading i
the long procession into and from the i
edifice. n
The programme was as follows: i
Processional "As "With Gladness Men J
of Old" „
Gloria U„_. >■■... Chant I
Magnificant Chant 1 A
Kneeling Hymn "Now the day i« over" I
Hymn "O Come Loud Anthems Let

GIRLS TO FLAY
TWO GAMES
NEXT WEEK
The girls basket ball team has two
games arranged for next week, one
with Hertford and one with Windsor
to be played on the local court at the
Dixie Warehouse. The girls are very
enthusiastic and we want to all be on
hand to root for them at their open
ing game. The game with Windsor
comes first on the schedule as it r.ow
stands.
For the past several years the local
high school has had no girls basket
ball game and as beginners the pres
ent team is showing up splendidly
"Hie last girls basket ball game to be
played in Williamston was back in
1918 with Miss Mary Cooke a* the
the team.
