Jones, Abbeulah Reid and Mattie Neal. 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.

It brilliant performance last Friday even- gave scope to the varied talents en- i ing that a packed house is already as- gaged, and enabled the club to offer a ; sured. 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.
