Card of Thanks.
Circle No. 1, of the Library work
desire to thank their many friends for
their assistance in their benefit of last
Friday evening. To all of the artists
who gave their services for the pro¬
gram, the Circle thank them most
sincerely. To Mr. Everitt and to Mr.
Stillwell we extend our hearty appre¬
ciation of their kindness and liberality
for the use of the piano and the piano
rooms. To The Covington News
and to the Enterprise we extend
thanks. To Mr. Otis Adair we owe
much gratitude for the able manner
in which he acted as doorkeeper.
Mrs. Philips Entertains.
Among the many delightful social
affairs given last week, none was
more enjoyed by the very young set,
than that at which Mrs. J. E. Philips
entertained last Monday afternoon,
the members of her Sunday school
class and a few invited guests, on the
pretty college grounds, in honor of
her young niece, Miss Frances Neal,
of Atlanta.
Mrs. Philips was assisted in enter¬
taining by Miss Carrie Beck Davis.
Many pleasant games were enjoyed
after which ice cream and cake were
served, while refreshing lemonade
was served during the entire afternoon.
Library Concert.
Covington has had many musical
affairs in the annals of her history,
but the most artistic and perfect con¬
cert which has ever been presented
before her people was enjoyed on last
Friday evening at R. E. Everitt’s Fur¬
niture store.
The entire program was under the
management of Mrs. A. B. Corley and
to her fine executive ability combined
with her cultured talent for tine mu¬
sic, is due the entire success of this
occasion. The program as a whole
was full of fine selections and they
were all faultlessly rendered. The
first number was an overture by
Suppe, charmingly rendered by Misses
Adams and Duffy and Mrs. Corley.
Next was a vocal solo by Mrs. W. C.
Sanders. No pen can do justice to
such a voice as Mrs. Sanders is gifted
with. A voice so clear and so full,
and so wonderful in its range, that
when she finished her selection she
was encored again and again. She
responded with the famous Scotch
song “ ’Twas Within a Mile of Edin¬
burgh Town.” Mrs. Sanders not only
captured her audience with her won¬
derful voice, but herexquisite person¬
al appearance makes her doubly at¬
tractive. Beautiful in face and grace¬
ful in her every motion, she drew her
hearers to her with her personal mag¬
netism. Next came a solo from Mr.
Sanders. His voice is a superb bari¬
tone and besides its well rounded mu¬
sical qualities, his enunciation is so
clear that everyone in the audience
heard each word of his selection. All
of his numbers faultlessly rendered,
but his “Cuban Love Song,” was his
“piece de resistance.” In personal
appearance, he is not at all unlike the
handsome Spanish type of Cubans
and this resemblance added much to
the effectiveness of this selection.
Mrs. Edwin Taylor was very fine in
her expressions. Her “Little Boy
Blue” was one of the finest selections
on the program. Miss Sue Means was
perfect in her character impersona¬
tions. “Miss Sue” is a great favorite
in Covington and her many friends
were overjoyed at the fine delineation
which she presented on Friday even¬
ing. Miss Madge Terrell gave a so¬
prano solo, “Ora Pro Nobis” which
was very fine. Miss Terrell really be¬
longs to Covington and Covington ap¬
propriates all the joy as her very own,
which comes from possessing a voice
like the voice Miss Terrell owns. Miss
Clara Belle Adams distinguished her¬
self by her piano selections, together
with her beautiful accompaniment she
rendered with the songs for Mr. and
Mrs. Sanders. Mrs. Sain and Miss
Fowler rendered a selection from
Nevin which was very beautiful. Mrs.
Nicholson rendered two beautiful vo¬
cal solos. Mrs. Nicholson has a very
sweat voice and she is always most
attractive in rendering her selections.
