The musical program was beautiful and greatly enjoyed by a large congregation. - At the First Methodist Church the Easter services were a special of the day, to say nothing of the musical program and a splendid ser mon by the pastor.

CeNnTRAL CHRISTIAN CHURCH. All the services were well attend ed on Sunday. At the night ser vice the house was packed. The music, under the leadership of Mrs. L. A.

J. H. Bullard, principal, and Miss Sallie Bell Crenshaw and Miss May Shafer, assistant, have taught | the past six months. It has been } the largest attendance in the history iof that school. They had an enroll iment of 120 pupils, and the term’s { work has been highly gratifying to to the patrons of the school. The week was devoted to final ex aminations, and Friday and all eve 'ning to a long and elaborate pro gram of interesting exercises. After the morning and afternoon program a recess was taken until 8 o'clock when the last of the exercises were rendered. The large stone building erected only three years ago is barely ade quate, and Prof. Bullard believes that it is possible that the audito rium will have to be used for a class room. When the building was erec ted it was thought to be ample for a decade or more, but the rapid growth and progress of the commun lity will soon necessitate a consider able annex to the building. | The home of Boyden Oxfords for Men The home of Manhattan Shirts The home of John B.

It seems that music was the ;fealure of the day, and as one who i was there and appreciated all, I feel !]ike voiceing the general opinion ithut our city has never had the [ privilege o f hearing such classic §mu.<i('. rendered by a choir before. l Especially was this true of the even |ing program. It shows what can be 'done by hard work under the di rection of a skilled director; and that such a one was there was ap parent to all who watched the ease and fineness with which Mr. Rawly lconductqd the choir. The church !is to be congratulated on securing such a talent, | The soloists without exeception ;did themselves proud and each one v&:added to the méfit of all. The cor net solo by Mr. Mixon iii the mern ling made “Calvary” more populdr ithan ever and proved the player a master of his instrument. ' The “Cantata” was the crowning feature of the occasion, in which the elaborate and intricate produc tion was rendered with perfect ‘technique, the attack o f each part lcoming in with the beat of the leader’s baton, the fortes and pianos 'shading into each other with har monious effect; the blending of the voices especially noticeable, not one part stronger than the other, but ‘each voice wodulated to bring tol perfection the harmony of all. The Farmers' Union meeting at Roanoke School House, Sat urday. April 14th. Easter at. the | First M. E. Churchi Services Easter Sunday at the First M. E. Church were of a mark ‘ed character, The Sunrise Prayer ‘Meeting was well attended, some few being present from other ‘churches. It was a very profitablg hour, Attendance at Sl!hday Schod! numbered 168, A special Easter Missionary bffering resulted in the ischoul raising ¥60.00 for the support ‘of one native preacher in China, ‘while the support of another was pledged by three leading members. One feature noticeable in the suc cess of this school is that it permits no_contests and hence has a normal growth. | The morning preaching service was largely attended, and at the night service every available chair in the church and parsonage was in use. Only the regular choir partici pi el bat the choruses were strong and full, and the result of years of singing together told in an ex ceptional harmony. ; The instrumental music was ex cellent, the program being (-arried‘ out as announced in Saturday’s En terprise with one change. The pian'o} accompaniments by Mr, Ray Frey and the work of Prof: C. W. Merck, deserve especial mention, although every member was ably rendered, and the entire program was a musi-l cal treat. : pianist, Mrs. Murphy, has the sym pathetic touch and graceful movc ment so necessary in such a pro duction, and was congratulated up on her superb accompaniments to the soloist and chorus. Fitzgerald is acquainted with the violin of Mrs. Farmer, and her obligators gave sweeter song to every solo. The Choir has had many urgent requests, we understand, to repeat the “Cantata,” but is not likely to do so, prefering at an early date to give something new, and quite as good. : < & A -,»,“' \,L\ ) B T A WS TAN T / & 4’ “.-fv\,“"- \;(:{p’d .X.*;é'\ f"‘ @iy S Y- N g/ Ly it Bl W R 7 i\ e Tp SR ) .

Td, % NATIONAL @) BANK Fitzgerald Young Man May Inherit Millions Forty Million Pounds Sterling In the Bank of England Await ing Distribution Among American Heirs. Speetal Dispareh to The Chicads Tribung I “Pittsburg, Pa., April 5.-—Biairs lle and one o two other towns in this State are excited over a pros ’pective fortune which is about to fall'into the hands of their citizens. Late in the seventeenth century a man nained Holmes deposited a large sum of meney in the Bank of England for the benefit of his daugh ter Jennie, who afterwards married a man named Balderidge. She died without heirs. The deposit has grown by the accumulation of interest, un til now it amounts to nearly 40,- 000,000 pounds sterling. Shortly before the Revolutionary war two of Holmes' brothers emigrated o this country. An attorney of the heirs isin Lon don, and in a letter just written says the fortune is no myth; that part of it was borrowed' by the City of Lon don to build a bridge and make other public improvements, but that all of the money is available to the legal representatives of the man who made the original deposit, A prominent lawyer in this eity, who is acquainted with the case, says he has no doubt the money will be forthcoming as soon as the legal requirements can be complied with.” Fitzgerald may also be taken inte consideration, since Mr. L. G. Holmes, formerly of Macon, now employed as M. C. B. accountant with A, B. & A R. R, will be able to trace his re lationship back to one of these brothers. He has arranged with attorneys in London who are busily engaged in securing the necessary data that will have to be provided hefore the fortune can be distribut ed. NUMBER 49
