FOREST CITY COURIER \ PUBLISHED IN THE INTEREST OF FOREST CITY AND RUTHERFORD COUNTY OLD FIDDLERS HAVE HAPPY MEET AT ELLENBORO Large Attendance and Splen did Program—The Prize Winners. Ellenboro, Nov. 22.—The Old fid dlers' Convention, held under the auspices of the Girls Circle at the Ellenboro school auditorium Satur day, was thoroughly enjoyed by all, judging by the cheers that followed after each number on program.

Such old time pieces as "Sally Ann," "Chickeft Reel," "Downfall of Paris," "Devil's Dream," "When You and I Were Young, Maggie," and a number of others seemed to be in popular favor with the players, each one having their own special way of playing the piece. The only accident during the program happened as Mr. Rex Brooks was rendering his first number on the banjo. Rex broke a string immediately £fter he had star ed on "Turkey in the Straw," and declared to the writer "that he was ruint." However, he seemed to re cover shortly afterward. One of the features of the even ing was the playing of the ukelele by the five year old son of Mr. W. T. Grady. This youngster played in the orchestra and in duet with his father like a veteran. He was a great hit with the audience. Another feature apart from the program was the piano monologue rendered by Mr. A. M-. Hughey, of Chas. M. Stieff, Inc. Mr. Hughey received a big hand from the crowd. The winners in the contests were as follows: Edney's Orchestra, Cliff side, Ist; Titled and Refined Orche stra, Mooresboro, 2nd; M. M.
