THE CHRISTMAS CANTATA
Those who heard "The' Christ
Child," a Christina* Cantata sung by
a chorus of LaGrange’* sweetest
singers at the Baptist church last
Tuesday ovening, were treated to one
of the most beautiful and splendidly
rendered feasts of music ever given
in I.a Grange. The performance was
under charge of Miss Viola Burks,
who was the accompanist, and reflect
ed the careful training and rounded
excellence always apparent in any
entertainment under her care. It
is to be regretted thnt the extremely
cold weather prevented a larger num
ber from attending.
The Cantata, the work of an Ameri
can composer, C. B. Hawley, is built
on passages from the Bible relating
to the birth of Jesus Christ, and even
the untrained ear was thrilled with
the inspired nnd beautiful treatment
of the holy subject as so wonderfully
brought out. by the fdngers. No des
cription could do justice to the work
of the chorus as n whole nnd indivi
dually, one of the most pleasing feat
ures wns the quartette composed of
Misses Linda Berry, Zann Hunt, Eliza
both Alexander and Lucy Adnms.
Those singing solos were Mrs. Arthur
Mallory, Misses Borry, Hunt and
Adams and Mr. C. W. Colemnn. The
absence of Dr. Frank Ridley, Jr.,
and Mrs. Harvey Reid on account of
illness was regretted by everyone.
Following are those who took part
in the performance:
Sopranos, Mrs. Arthur Mallory;
Misses Linda Borry, Herberta Her
ring, /.ana Hunt, Blanche Coustkr,
Ruth Pike.

Bess Herring, Mary Hollo, Lucy

Banking Proverbs:
There is a Bird on the dollar, but there is no reason why you should
let it fly, better deposit it ir the Bank of LaGrange at 4% INTEREST.
It is not what you earn, but what you SAVE that makes you rich. By
saving something each week, you begin each week richer. Live within
your means, and put something away for the future. Is there a better
time to make this resolution than this Christmas?
May we not have tlie pleasure of placing your name on our list of
