Recital by Pupils of Mrs. J. J,

The first of a series of recitals
given by Mis. J. J. Corley’s music
class at her home last Friday af¬
ternoon was a most enjoyable mu¬
sical treat.
A recital will be given every
two weeks until the close ot the
term, thereby giving each pupil a
chance to show the work being
done.
The next recital will be Friday
May 11.
'Pile selections were well chosen
and oeautifully executed and the
audience, consisting of friends and
relatives of the participants, was
very appreciative in its appiuuses.
Miss Mae McConnell, the guest
of Miss Susie Dyer, favored Mrs.
Corley’s pupils and guests with
two recitations. They were well
received.
Only a few pupils take part in
each recital.

The parson then took the bride by

the day of her marriage, for then
her eathly aspirations were realized
to her hearts content. That the
happiness that was beaming from
her face was reflected in the faces
ot all the ladies present, and it
was a jolly company. Tho cflici

groom could enjoy a joke, he pro¬
ceeded to tell a story he received
from Rev. Geo. W. W. Stone, of
Emory College, many years ago.
A preacher had married a couple,
perhaps the preacher was Proi
Stone, the couple were scared and
did not know when the ceremony
was over. It was a nice point for
the minister to get the couple off
his hands, so he warmly grasped
the hand of the groom and said
> » I congratulate you that I have
now put an end to all your troub¬
les, “ the groom smiled, thanked
him a^id retired. About four
months afterwards the groom came
back to the preacher and said, “I
thought you said that you had put
an end to all my troubles.“ He
had cught a tartar who had in that
short time rowed him up SaR Riv¬
er and down aguin several times.
( 4 Yes”, said the preacher,“I did
say that, but I did not Hay which
end. There are two ends to every
thing.The minister then stood up
amidst a sea of joyous faces, and
with a commanding tone, enjoined
silence. He wished to know if
some more of the young people
present could not get him up an¬
other job. The young ladies were
quick to respond and to lay the
blame on the tardiness of the
young men of the town. Boys of
Covington I would not stand it,
you are only half a man until you
find your other and better half. I
think there ought to be appointed
a missionary to preach matrimony
to the boys of Covington. I will
close by relating a conundrum !
which the late Dr. Morgan Calla¬
way proposed to a company of
young people on some festive occa¬
sion.

count until a woman takes him in
