, The Singing at New Harmony.
The class was called to order
! by Bro. Alfred Roper after our
Sunday school which was at
tended by a very large crowd
and it seemed to arouse and
stimulate the people for the
singing which was to follow.
After a short recess the sing
ing class was called to order
by Bro. Roper who led a few
pieces and was followed by J.
D. Ledbetter, S. C. Smallwood,
Arthur Fowler, and other good
singers. The singing in the
morning was in the new books
and was pronounced by many
especially some of the visitors
to be about the best they had
heard in quite a while. After
an intermission of one and one
half hour given for dinner,
which there was plenty of it
spread around and was enjoyed
by all. The class was again call
ed to order by Bro. Roper who
led a few pieces folowed by sev
eral other good leaders, some of
whom were Messrs Julius Hen
drix, James Smithwick, John
Drummond, W. V. Smallwood,
John Tillison, Fred Aarons,
Tommy Green, Davis Lafayette
Nix, Roscoe Lathem and prob-
ably a few othrs whose names
we did not get. The afternoon
singing was mostly in the Old
Christian Harmony and was
greatly enjoyed by all. The old
er people staid it carried them
back to their childhood days
and made them feel young a
gain, and the younger ones
to ger a glimps of the
wood Md times as'e past and
'Wne.' Putting it all togeher we
think the singing was one of the
best ever had at this place and
not surpassed anywhere and we
hope to have more as good or
better as this is the beginning
our annual June singing v’' c
we will have the third
in June every year
We want ev-WocD to come
and be v-n us n*xt June, we
W iji also say ve have singing
every third Sunday afternoon
and wouldALe for as many as
can to co ie an d help us out as
we hav/ appreciated and will
alway/welcome visitors.
