The need of the Y. W. C. A. has
been felt in Augusta for quite a while,
with hundreds of advocates—hut the
women of Augusta who were really
intensely interested in the cause were
mainly either the real workers them
selves, or the good women who are
spending much of their spare time in
doing for others through already es
tablished organizations of various
kinds. So it has been that although
the enthusiasm and desire for the
association and real need of it has
been felt, yet it has never before had
the opportunity to develop as it now
has through the able management and
capable engineering of Miss Disbro,
the trained organizer for this work.
The meeting for organization, con
ducted by Mr. Edwin Hill, secretary
of the Young Men’s Christian Asso
ciation, was most, successful and sat
isfactory in every way.
Rev. Richard Wilkinson gave a
most encouraging talk, with assurance
of hearty support for the work.

EVENT OF FEB. 11TH.
Musicians who hear the concert of
the Merkel Concert company, appear
ing at the St. James' Sunday School
Auditorium, February 11th, in the
evening, will be delighted with the
work of Mr. Merkel at the piano.
His solo numbers are played in ft fin
ished style, and he possesses a good
tone and technique that would afford
an instructive and entertaining even
ing if he played an entire program.
But it is as an accompanist, that, he
has attracted especial attention
since the company has been on tour, i
This kind of work is an art within it
self, and Mr. Merkel shows a mas
tery of It, that may well be studied
by all pianists. He Is fortunate in
having two such artists as Misses
Jones and Marks to accompany, tint
i they are equally as fortunate In hav
j Ing him and his art to assist them in
| the rendition of their numbers.
