Traylor, once a citizen of this community, is among the company. This scheme if a success is said to greatly cheapen the refrigerating business as the melting of ice is very expensive and few can afford to have it at distances from cities where it is manufactured.

The vo cal solo, with guitar accompaniment, was rendered in a most charming and effective manner by Miss Fannie Lou Moss, who has just returned from the LaGrange Female College, where she has been perfecting herself in vo cal music, under the noted and gifted Miss qt Witherspoon. * The recita ions by Miss Ridenhour weie rendered in such a pleasing manner that it displayed a wonderful talent and careful training.

The recitations were all exception¬ ally good, but the “Naughty Girl” elicited such applause that she re¬ sponded to the encore with the touch ing and pathetic “Sister and I.” The most novel feature of the oc casion was the “Comb Duett,” which reflected much credit on the performers.
