TUESDAY NIGHT To Be An Eventful One For Gainesville. A large number of seats have been subscribed to for the Brehany Company which appears here Tuesday night. The company is one of the finest that has ever been in the South and a treat is in store for all who go. The fol lowing extract was taken from the Waco, Texas Times-Herald of December 28: The concert at Colonial hall last night under the auspices of Lodge No. 140. K. of P., was a most delightful affair, and the fortunate attendants were thrilled with the exquisite music furnished by the Louise Brehany.Ballad and Opera Company. The house was comfortably filled, and the night being pleasant and the acoustics of the hall first class, the renditions were enjoyed with repeated demonstrations. Miss Brehany as a singer has few superiors, and her appearance last night was a signal for applause, which was given with vim. * Miss Pringle, the charming violinist* captured the audience, too. This little lady can do what many noted violinists never did, namely: Master the difficult parts without destroying the melody. The great complaint of modern music is that the demand is for execution at the expense of melody. Miss Pringle has overcome the difficulty. W. Guillaume Souyelet, the eminent pianist, was even better than repre sented. His piano solo was sublime. He is an artist of rare ability. Mr. George Dethlefs, the baritone, Walter Herbert Wheatley, the tenor, and Miss Jessie Waters, mezo, are artists, who can charm an audience anywhere, and they did their part well last night. The entertainment closed with the second act of Flotow’s opera, “Martha,” with Louise Brehany as Lady Harriet (Martha;, a lady of rank. Jessie Waters, as Nancy, her maid. Mr. Dethlefs, as Plunkett, a wealthy farmer. Mr. Wheatley, as * Lionel, his foster brother. Scene: Hall in farm house. A Lowry Bale Here. Mr. C. S. Webb has op exhibition at the store of the Hynds Company this week a Lowry bale of- cotton. It weighs 250 pounds, is cylindrical in form, 36 inches loDg and 18 inches in diameter, making it convenient to handle. It is covered with cotton bagging with a draw string at the ends so that it does not have to be cut m sampling. The bale can be shipped at less cost than the old style, about four times more of it being put in a car than the big bale. Inman <fc Co., of which Mr. Webb is the Gainesville representative, will pay forty five cents per hundred more f6r cotton packed in the Lowry bale than the old style packing. Mr. Webb is considering putting up a seventy saw gin with the new Lowry press attachment in Gainesville, and very probably it wil be erected in time for ginning the cot ton of this section next season.
