The only changes in the assignment
The part of “Alva,” the slave girl,
was taken by Miss Annie Lizzie Wide-'
ner. This young lady possesses a
full mezzo soprano, and sustained the
part assumed most admirably.
To Mrs. H. A. Goolsby was given the
most difficult role of the ooeretta, that
of “Tabubu,” the old maid who missed
everything by being always too late;
and it "was really most extraordina
ry” in making the entire character, ev
erything depending upon her concep
tion of the part.
The chorus was large and powerful,
and to its careful training was due the
harmony of the songs en choir which
added so much to the success of the op
eretta. With almost faultless accord
and unbroken symphony the chorus-
singers went through with as much
freedom and ease as if they had been
veterans before the footlights. The
sparkling eyes, radiant faces and daz
zling costumes ot the dancers made
them strikingly bewitching, and they
seemed to enjoy it as much as did the
delighted audience.
Miss Louise Gearreld, by her dainty,
graceful execution of the solo dance,
brought forth the enthusiastic applause
of the audience. Mrs. Alonzo Norris,

In keeping with the established cus
tom of doing things in the right way,
the Baraca Class of the First Baptist I
Sunday-school gave a ’cue at Ray Park
on Saturday last, which proved to be
an enjoyable occasion. Some time ago
plans were put on foot for this occa
sion, and much praise is due the com
mittee in charge of the work. Last
December our class gave a banquet,
and at that time we had only 59 mem
bers. Prof. G. K. Henderson, our
much-beloved teacher, suggested that
our stakes he set to “109 by May ’09.”
When May 1 came our class register
showed 124 members. We feel proud of
our barbecue, but prouder still ot our
enthusiastic class and our faithful and
untiring teacher and assistant teacher,
both of whom have shown by their
work that they are in earnest about the
task imposed upon them. But for the
well-arranged and excellently prepared
’cue we must give praise to whom
praise is due. The financial part was
ably looked after by the finance com
mitted, composed of the following
members of the class: Earl Wynn,
Dr. K. D. Lee, Paul Orr, Theo Davis,
Leroy Mann and J. V. Calvert. They
did their work well and deserve much
praise. A committee of ladies com
posed of Mrs. I. N. Orr, sr., Mrs. E.
R. Barrett and Miss Emmie Robinson,
assisted by Mrs. T. B. Davis, Mrs. J.
H. Simms and Mrs. R. E. Simms,
looked after the supply of cake, pick
les, bread, etc., and they had an ample
supply on hand. Mr. Starling Carpen
ter, that prince of good fellows and
without a peer as a barbecuist, super
intended the cooking of the meats. It
is unnecessary to say anything ’ more.
All who know Mr. Carpenter know what
kind of barbecue was furnished. On
Sunday last our class, feeling that praise
was too feeble an expression of appre
ciation of his good work, promptly re
sponded to the suggestion of a member
that Mr. Carpenter be presented with a
Baraca Class pin and a $5 hat, as a slight
token of their appreciation. We feel
that in presenting the hat it will protect
as brainy a head as the sunshine falls
upon, while the pin will adorn a breast
in which beats a heart true to friend,
to country and to God. Messrs. Tom
Fisher and Cliff Glover kindly assisted
Mr. Carpenter, and they came in for a
full share of praise also. We only wi.-h
that we had hats enough to go round,
but they are young and can wait.
It is estimated that five hundred peo
ple were present, and all seemed to en
joy the occasion. We feel proud of our
success, and hope to be the means of
making happy the hearts of many
more. We have set our stakes at “200
by December ’09.” With the same de
termination that prompted us in our
last effort, we are going to the mark.
We will find a way, or make one. Keep
your eyes on the Baraca Class, and
come to Sunday-school. We will make
it pleasant for you, and you will go
away feeling better for having been
with us. A. L. Bevis,
Class Correspondent.
