SPLENDID CONCERT
BY OXFORD ORPHANS
CHILDREN SHOW SPLENDID
TRAINING.
As Usual a Large Crowd Assem
bled to Hear the Concer. '
Receipts $<>5.
The concert given by the Oxford
orphanage singing class at the
graded school last Thursday even
ing was one of the best yet given
before a Brevard audience. Por
several seasons the orphanage
classes have'been making tours of
this part of the state, and at every
appearance they have been greeted
by an appreciative audience. The
cause of the fatherless and moth
erless is one that never fails to
bring a hearty response from the
people here, where the Masonic
fraternity has such a strong repre
sentation of leading citizens. But
aside from the cause the entertain
ment was excellent in every re
spect, and a full house greeted the
yonng performers and every num
ber met with enthusipstic applause.
The class consisted of four boys
and ten girls, and their general de
portment on the stage was very
pleasing. Theflr ages seemed to
range from about seven to Seven
teen years, the older members for
the most part being girls. Mr. L.
W. Alderman was present as man
ager of the class and Miss Marler
as teacher and director of the
music^.
The worK of the class reflects
great credit not only on the chil
dren but on the teachers as well.
No one would fail to be struck
with the excellent training which
they have undergone to fit them for
stage performance. The singing
was in perfect harmony, and the
voices, which at that age are liable
to be strained by too much effort,
were modulated and melodious.
Every number, even the simplest,
was a success. Humor and pathos
were alternated, and the audience
was kept interested throughout
the program.
The opening song, “Here’s to the
Land of the Long Leaf Pine,” be
gan well and was followed by other
better things. One little boy, the
youngest of the class, came in a
recitation called “The Bad Boy,”
which captivated the audience, and
thereafter his appearance was a
special delight. But the recitations
were all good, and a detailed ac
count of each i6 impossible. Some
of the most impressive of the num
bers were “Abide With Me,” song
and pantomime by the girls;
“Comin’ Through the Rye,” a diiet,
and “Lead Kindly Light,” which
closed the program, v
The concert "began early, about
seven o’clock, on account of the
district convention of . the Odd Fel
lows, who kindly postponed tteir
hour of meeting to attend the coii-
cert. The receipts amounted to
|65, an unusual sum to be taken in
for a performance of this character;

EIRST PRIZE—MELTON'PIANO.
You should be on the wing too, not
perched inactively on some restful
twig. There v^ll be plenty of ..time
to rest when you haye won the
prize of your choice. Until then
let your motto be “Haste, not
waste.” Do not waste a minute,
and yoh will not lose a prize.
If you expect to win one of the
handsome prizes the News is going
to give away in this contest it lies
with you whether you will be suc
cessful or not. No half hearted
act was ever a success. On the
other hand those who are animated
'by enthusiasm a,nd confidence do
nOFt fail to reach their goal. Many
* a.person has “arrived” after pass
ing obstacles that at first appeared
insurmountable. The joy of vic
tory was theirs. ' *
That much can be done in a short
time is strikingly proved by a re
cent entry. Thisis a stimulating ex
ample to you to similiar effort.
Make up your mind that you will
consider every day wasted that
does nbt see a good increase in
votes for you.
Some of the candidates are in
clined to be timid, and to fear the
possible reserve of their opponents.
Let them remember that they are
exactly as,much feared as others.
In a contest naturally every one is a
little afraid of every one else. If
this were not so there would be
very little vote gathering, but it
may be a consolation to* know that
yox^ are not alone in your nervous
ness. Every ofie naturally feels so
and the only way to get over it is
to work so hard that you gain a
sense of s^unty in the know^dge
that you have somet^ng to spare.
The prizes are now on exhibition

sl^nment up a» tTie best.
The Rock Hill buggy, the second
prize, need^- no comment from us
as to its qualifications. The Rock

7here has been almost as much
comme^t on the third prize as on
the first. There is no use denying
that the Majestic range, furnised by
the Miller Supply Co., makes a fine
appearance in the window on the
right side of the prize store 'room,
and it is eloquently speaking for
itself. Every Jady passing cannot
help bat smile when she sees it. It
wiil be an ornament and a joy for
ever in any kitchen.
The fourth prize, the Rockford
watch, can be seen at P. R. Ayres’
jewelry store.- He’s got a spiel
al^ut this watch that is interesting
to listen to. Go around there and
see the watch and he can tell you
more about watches, especially the
Rockford, than you possibly ever
dreamed of, '
The fifth prize, the tailor made
suit, is something that will appeal
to anybody^ Of course it is itkipos-
sible to put this on exhibition. The
winner of this prize is to select his

made to measure. Mr. W. P. Weilt

trict prizes. These handsome rock

Lexington Chair Co., and Mr. Geo.
L. Hackney thinks they are the
best made. You can see them in
the prize drpartment. They are
good^to look at and are also com-
for^ble—-a combination not often
found. Come and look at them.
The key to the store room where
the prizes are on exhibition is kept
at the News office and it will be a
pleasure for us to show you the
pri^s at any time.
If yoti want one of these prizes
now is the time to begin work.
It is not too late yet to get started.
There is time to do a lot of work
yet if you will only hustle. You
have often heard of people who
“had no chance,” no luck, no time.
They envied their associates’
wealth and position and yet never
really tried to win these things for
them^selves, but considered that the
world owed them a living. So it
is with some would-be contestants.
They say they never have any luck
at any thing they undertake, and
never expect to. “Blessed are they
that expect nothing, for verily they
shall not be disappointed.” Some
people do not realize that they can
make th^ir own luck. Others are
afraid of the other fellow, and, let
him bluff them out of the race.
Success attracts everyone’r atten
tion and sympathy. All the world
has a welcome for the person of
pluck.
At present this is anybody’s race.

DISTRICT MEETINS
OF ODD FEUOWS
SOME SPLENDID ADDRESSES
WERE MADE
Owing to Absence of Some of
the Speakers, Program was
Slishtiy Ghimged.
An event which comes but once
in a while at Brevard was the dis
trict meeti^g of Odd Fellows last
week. The' representatives of the
various lodges throughout the dis
trict gathered here on Thursday
evening and asSembled in the Fra
ternity hall immediately after the
close of ihe concert of the Oxford
singing class, for which the mem
bers had courteously postponed the
hour of convening.
All the business transacted on
Thursday and Friday morning be
ing behind closed doors, the facts
are, of course, not open to the pub -
lie. The meetings v/ere well at
tended, and faithful Odd Fellows
of Connestee Lodge, No. 237 were
present to greet the brother® from
other lodges. The fraternal spirit,
so characteristic of this Celebrated
order, was in evidence on all sides.
Friday afternoon’s and night’s
meetings were open to the public,
and were 'quite well attended by
the people of the town. They
were held at the court house.
At half past seven Friday even
ing the members of the lodge and
^siting brethren marceed from the
hall down Main street and back to
the (K>nrt housft^jasjggj^papiqd by
the BrevsCtd Comet Balid. The
meeting in the court house was
presided over by President E. S.
Reeves. The program as published
in the News was not followed
strictly on account of the absence
of Grand Master W. H. Overton
and Dr. L. B. McBrayer, both of
whom were scheduled for addresses.
Mr. Guy Weaver of Asheville had
consented to take a place on the
program, and made a very interest
ing address on some of the phases
of Odd Fellowship.
Mr. Weaver spoke first of the
extent of the order, stating that its
field was the world. He then went
on to show what the order is doing
in North Carolina, and how nobly
JLt had responded to calls on its loy
alty not only in this state but in
others. What the order stands for
—Friendship, Love and Truth—he
then took up, and dwelt upon each
point in turn, making many fine
observations and embellishing his
remarks with well chosen phrases.
Mr. Weaver’s speech did much to
wipe out the disappointment over
the absence of those appointed on
the program.
He iwas followed ,by Mr. R. L.
Gash, who made a short talk on
some of the practical points in Odd
Fellowship. Mr. Gash had many
facts and statistics at his command
to prove his statements.
Music was furnished by the Bre
vard Cornet Band, which was very
much enjoyed. The boys played as
if they entered into the spirit of
the occasion. A quartette com
posed of Messrs. Smith, Jollay,
Smathers and Clark rendered some
beautiful vocal selections, which
were encored every time.
