A MUSICAL PRODIGY.
A special from Talbotton to the At
lanta Journal says: Little Miss Bess
Lawrence, Talbotion's youthful musi
cal genius, delighted a large audience
on Friday evening. The wee, winsome
maid is 4 years of age, and can play
anything she hears. As the melody
trilled from her tiny fingers, attention
was breathless, and at the conclusion,
while she waited to be removed from
the chair, the applause was deafening.
Her knowledge of absolute pitch is
marvelous. She can name any tone
in any chord whether natural, sharp
or fiat-keyed. When asked how she
knows, she replies: "I heard them.”
At two she could readily distinguish
pieces: at two and a half she knew her
letters on the piano, at three she could
hum the air of Lohengrin's Bridal Cho
rus. Her repertoire consists of fifteen
songs and variations. She is the
daughter ol Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Law
rence, and the niece and namesake of
Mrs. Oscar M Heard of Vienna.
