4. The beginners singing class under Prof. J. A. McIntyre is progressing finely, and about the first of September, a class will be organized to meet in the evenings, and it is hoped that the advanced members of the present class with many other, may be induced to join. If there is one thing more than any other that makes all public gatherings pleasant, it is good singing. There are many in Randolph and vicinity who have the talent, and if they will just cultivate it, Randolph need not lack in the future for plenty of good singers.
