BASTROP ADVERTISER JANUARY 26, I960
BASTROP TO HEAR
TALENTED PIANIST
At the Bastrop Harmony Club's
celebration on February 2nd of
their Fiftieth Anniversary—David
Guion Program, they are very-
fortunate to have on thei- pro-
gram a very talented pianist, Mr.
James Huddleston of Smithville.
One of his selections for the
evening will be "The Harmonica
Player", a well known composi-
tion by David Guion. The setting
for this piece was a plantation cab-
in, an old negro man seated in the
door, while the children clustered
about to hear his music and
dance to the accompaniment of
patting hands. The audience usual-
ly has to restrain itself to keep
from tapping feet when this num-
ber is played.
Mr. Huddleston started his
piano lessons at the age of six
years in Vernon, Texas, his birth-
place. His advanced training was
acquired at North Texas State
Teachers College in Denton under
the direction of Dr. Scionti, Mr.
Walter Robert, and Miss Helen
Huett. He was both a Piano and
Harp major, having made sever-
al concer tours as a harp soloist.
Mr. Huddleston taught at both
the Univ?rsity of Tulsa and Har-
din Colleg", and at the present
has studios in Smithville and Bas-
trop, where he instructs piano.

A change has been made in the
management of the Bastrop Ceme-
tery Association.
Mrs. S. J. C. Hipgins is the
president and any information
or complaints will be handled by
her.
The city is furnishing W. S.
Craft as Secretary and treasurer
for the association. All dues. $5.0()
a year, should he paid to him
in the city office from 9 to 5 on
week days.
