. The Children of the 'Coxifed-
oracy u ado a crowning success
J
or meir enoris at au umuruiui-
rnent F.riday night. The per
formances were good in every
part and the close attention and
'vigorous applause indicated that
the unusually good audience
duly appreciated the splendid
renderings.
. The recitations and largely,
the songs referred to the "Lost
Cause," and tilled the bosoms of
survivors of thoso ordeals with
reminiscences of the terrible
eventful days, while to the young
they doubtless fanned into flame
the sparks of chivalric pride in
an immediate ancestry.
A large group of girls ftwith
Confederate banners sang "Cav
alier's Glee."
Miss Margaret Lcntz recited a
short little tribute to the "Men
who wore the gray."
Miss Janie Patterson isang
"The Conquered Banner."
Miss Mary Young rendered a
piano solo, "Old Black Joe,"
with variations, that was sur
passingly sweet and expressive.
Miss Ohla Brown sang a solo,
"The Girl I Loved m Sunny
Tennessee," and deserves special
praise for her clear enunciation
and her pathetic rendering. She
merited the round of applause
given.
The fhg drill was very satis
factory. More of it would have
been enjoyed.
Miss Mollie Brown recited
"Tribute. to Sam Davis" in verse,
i
the introductory being read by
Prof. Kcesler. The recitation
has a. .pathos of sadness and
heroism that Miss Mollie brought
out of it in splondid style. .
"Pride of Battery B" that most
touching little piece of fiction
was recited to perfection by Miss
Mary Kimmons. It gave intense
delight.
Miss Gertrude Caldwell so
gifted in : voice, sang in solo
"Tne Vacant Chair."
Miss Lina Hartsell rendered
a piano solo in very" creditable
manner.
Miss Annie Hoge recited "The
Confederate Note," holding one
of tho bills in her right hand and
giving the story of its issue Tn
goo'd faith and its decline
to low depreciation, yet dear for
the mission it filled.
Miss Julia Barrow rendered
"Old Folks at Home" with varia
tions. It was rendered as by
one far beyond her in years. It
was highly enjoyed and she; was!
encoreu. -
Miss Margaret Woodhonse re-
vl "T.u Sword ofT.ee." She
displayed gilts and training, 1
iv?.s enoyea.
Miss iddie Patterson san
Old
Kentucky Homo,'
which never sots old when sung
as she sang it.
The pantomime rondercd by a
trroun of vounsr ladies arrayed in
, . i. ..
, the artist s coiiception or aygelic
beings, tho movements being
suited to the sentiment, "Jesus
Lover o My Souf," was a devo
tional inspiration. The same
group rendered a tableau that
we will call "Sleeping Beauties."
The final scene was little Miss
Katherine Goodson in statue
"Child of tho Confederacy" with
banner in hand.
The Concord band added much
to- the entertainment, a special
feature of which was tho solo by
Mr. Willy Fwtzer.
Tho net proceeds ot the enter
prise we arc glad to say is $10.40.

have to carry me away."
"Yes."
"Well, you'd have thought his
life depended on getting me out
