Blind Boone Concert Delights 500 at Local Church
A crowd of about 500 attended Blind Boone and his company at the Christian church last night and left highly satisfied. Boone, famed for blindness, demonstrated extraordinary musical skill and memory by copying pieces after hearing them once.

The program spanned classical to camp meeting songs, with solo numbers by Miss Fuell and Miss Wesley, and a notable monologue and song by performers.
