MUSICAL ENTERTAINMENT.
While local society has been
gwen more to entertainments of
a purely social -character, it h?s
not been for want of talent along
musical and literary lines, nor
from a failure to enjoy affairs of
this type, but rather from force
of a well established habit and
| hesitancy to break down old bar
riers.
The entertainment was a suc
cess socially, musically and to
: the gratification of the promot
ers financially, netting $23.50,
j which for a parlor entertainment
! is no mean sum.
The Hazel Hotel parlors were
! crowded and the program ren
dered, which is given below, re
ceived the closest attention and
vociferous encores. The com
mittee wish to thank Mrs. W. A.
Billingsley for her efforts in ar
ranging for the program, and
Mrs. Bernstein for the use of the
! parlors. Little Miss Mildred
j Bernstein sold a large number of
tickets and is gratefully remem
bered by the ladies.
All the numbers were excellent
and when such is the case, it is
hard to individalize justly, but
the solo by Mrs. G. A. Hillhouse, |
the hit of the evening. Miss
Mary McKinnon’s instrumental
selections were also deservedly!
well received.

Inspecting Officers Compliment
Company F.— Gen. Stuckey
Was Present.
The inspection of Company F
occurred Tuesday night, says the
Jonesboro Sun, and was made
by Lieut. Col. Surridge and Capt.
Bent, U. S. A., of Fort Logan H.
Roots.
The company turned out 43
men and the drill occupied about
an hour, after which the com
pany was formed in double line
and addressed briefly by Col.
Surridge, Capt. Bent and Gen.
Stuckey, who was over from
Newport to attend the inspec
I tion.
