Haydn Symphony
at Lenoir.
The Oakraw Orchestra Delights
Splendid Hickory Audience.
The Oakview Orchestra concert
at Lenoir College Monday night
will be an event long remember
ed by the music lovers of Hu-k
-orv The selections were of the
highest order, and were repro
duced with a perfection of which
the musicians might well be
proud There is hardly another
town of this size in North Caro
lina that has home talent ti>t
could render such difficult selec
tions. Haydn's Symphony was
„iven with the greatest of ease, j
and was The chef douvre of the
concert. The applause with
which it was received attested its
merit.
Grieg's Norwegian Dance was
another greatly enjoyed number.
Chopin's Ballade in A flat was
rendered as a piano solo by Miss
Hallman, who always delight®
the audience with her playing.
Prof Karl B. Patterson, ren
dered Bohm's "Leerende" and
Wieniawski's "Obertass." Th
great work which Prof. Pattersor
is doing for Lenoir Allege and
the city of Hickory in the train
ing «nd upbuilding of our musical
talent cannot be over estimated.
He has had a splendid musical
education, being at one time first
violinist in the Orchestral Associa
tion of Baltimore and again a
member of the Hayden String
Quartet of the same city.
Mr. Locke McCorkle, a young
man of Newton who has won
great fame as a violinist, assisted

Death of Mrs. R. W. Wolfe.
The entire city was shocked
Saturday morning when the news
spread that Mrs R. W. Wolfe,
wife of R. Wo'fe, had died
at the home of Dr. Wolfe's par

ready to speak a kind word
where it might cheer some sad
heart. She was 22 years old.
Two years ago she was married
to Dr. Wolfe. Since their marri
age they have made their home
with Dr, Wolfe's parents here.
She leaves to mourn her sad de
partuie a heart-broken husband,
father, three brothers and one
sister, father «nd mother-in-law,
one brother-in-law, two sister-in
iaws, and a host of near ielative*
and friends.
