Tlie people of Sams Valley were well
entertained by Prof««or Isaacs ami a
party of young people from Ashland last
Saturday night, April 27th, at Mrs. Gard

cheering was convincing that all were

selves. Among the singers were Miss
Esther Silsby, Miss Eva Poley, Miss Celia
Gsterdoh, Miss Nellie Baker anil Miss
Margie Lambert, while tlie male singers
were Messrs. Goldie Herndon, Strick
land, William Hunt and Ray Stoner.
Tlie program embraced almost every
phase of vocal and instrumental music,
together with recitations ami elocutionary
productions ably rendered by young Wil
liam Hunt and Miss Celia Esterilob. In
fact, tliejwhole program was nicely ar
ranged and excellently executed, and
shows lieyond doubt that Ashland has
some of the very best developed talent in
the state. The entire party left with ,
hearty congratulations from the people of
Sams Valley, and their visit will be long
remembered ami cherished in the hearts
of our people. It is to be hoped that the
class of more than thirty who, after the
exercises of the night, decided to take the
regular course of music lessons under
Prof. Isaacs, will attend regularly and
take the Interest necessary for proper suc
