Fiddlers Convention
Didn’t Mind Rain
When the next Fiddlers Conven
tion comes to town, April 13, 1531,
don’t you stay at home if it rains,
FRIDAY, APR 25, 1930
hails, snows and is cold, stormy
weather, for there will be a happy
crowd having lots of fun at the
Irwinton courthouse.
Last Friday night was the second
Fiddlers Convention, an annual
entertainment arranged by Miss
Willie Davis as a benefit performance
for the Wilkinson countv high school.
Friday was a sloppy, rainy, dismal
looking day, and even at the hour
of beginning the performance rain
was still falling, but the courthouse
was filled with people in the best of
humor and the musicians were happy
as mockingbirds on a pokeberry bush.
Some ot the music teams who were
here last year did not come this time,
evidently thinking it was too bad a
night for anyone to go to au enter
tainment, but folks love good,
old-time fiddle music better than the
bow artists supposed. Those who did
play did so with enthusiasm and no
one failed to have a happy evening
as the volume of applause clearly
indicated.
Mr Allen Horton was first on the
program and his'playing and singing
was given prolonged applause and he
was reoaHed ho the platform several
times during the evening.
The Oconee Night Hawks, Messrs
J. P. Langford, Charlie Lord, Her
man Hooke, were next, and carried
