Poole the history and composition of
operatic music will be studied while
the music itself is learned by use of
the best records in opera, orchestra,
and violin music.

year, while another ten dollar gold|
K' . V " . piece prize is to be awarded to the i
girl rendering the best reading.

On last Friday morning little Virginia
Brooks, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. N. V. Brooks, died at their home
On North Main Street. Virginia was
nearly twelve years old, and was
the pet, not only of the family, but
of the street as well. She was a remarkably
sweet and amiable child,

and took an unusually active interest
in church work for one of her age.
The funeral services were conducted
at the home Saturday evening at 2
o'clock, conducted by her pastor, Rev.
J. B. Hurley, assisted by Revs. W.
O. Sample and R. El. White. The

methodists sunday night.
The congregation of the Baptist
church here will worship with the 1
Methodist congregation on next Sunday
night. This will be the last service

Hurley is just rounding out his four
years and it is probably his last service
as pastor. Not only with his
own congregation, but with the town
generally, Mr. Hprjbey is universally ?
toved and it' is with profound regret 1
that the town sees him take his de- 1
parture.
