DAY NIGHT.
MUSIC DEPARTMENT OF VIENNA
PUBLIC SCHOOL WILL PRE
SENT TWO PROGRAMS.
Th* public is cordially invited to be
present at the musical programs that
aro to be presented Thursday even
ing at 7:30 and Friday afternoon at
2:30 by the music classes of the
school, at the auditorium. The teach
ing personnel in the department of
music is entirely changed this year
and these will be the first programs
presented under the direction of
these teachers, Hisses Weaver, Mor
gan and Chapman. • The programs
will bo short and have been arranged
with a view to furnishing real enter
tainment. Each program should be
liberally attended.
Those who directed the Black and
White minstrel Friday night and each
participant in the program are being 1
congratulated upon the tremendous
success they scored. From the time'
the curtain rose-revealing a group of
performers in the characteristic min-
slrel make up—black faces, kinky
wigs, red lips and gleaming white
teeth til it fell the audience was in
an uproar. The costumes were strik
ing combinations of black and white,
and the figures were all kinds, big
fat ones, long lean ones, low, 'round
ones, and little skinny ones.
The company’s repertoire of jokes
and songs proved, to be an extensive
one, they were quite cleverly present
ed in true minstrel fashion. Quite a
few jokes were gotten off at the ex
pense of persons in the audience,
. these of course, afforded the greatest
amusement
. Additional interest was given the
entertainment by the introduction of
several readings- and solos. The
whole affair reflected creditably up
on those who took part. A large au
dience greeted the performers, the
result being a nice sum netted. The
proceeds wiH be invested by the Civ
ic Club in War Savings Stamps and
War Relief Work.
Dooly county was one of the fir*t
te go over the top in pledging for the
quota of War Savings Stamps allot-
ed'her, but mnny of those who obli
gated to take the Btamps have failed
te do so and now with the expiration
of the time in which the pledges can
be redeemed almost at hand a large
per cent of the amount pledged is yet
to be bought. It is very important
that the pledges be redeemed at once,
the following telegram from the Sec
retary of the Treasury testifies to
the imperative need of the govern
ment for the money that these pledges
represent. i •
“I most earnestly urge upon you
that your organization make every
possible effort to the end that pledges
for thep urchaso of war savings be
fulfilled beford thee lose of the year.

The city primary for the selection
of two aldermen to serve the city for
the coming two years, was held at
the city hall yesterday and passed off
very quietly. There are only two va
cancies to be filled and as only two
candidates announced, Messrs. W. S.
Reese and .T. R. Causey, the number
"of votes cast was very light.
and the fruit of it will bo reaped not
