LOCAL COMPOSER'S SUCCESS.
Charles L. Johnson Adds to His List
of Popular Songs.
If I only had a sweetheart, if I only had a beau,
I would surely be contented, like some other girls I know.
The name of a very catchy and popular air, the music to which was written by Charles L. Johnson of this city, can be readily seen to be "If I Only Had a Sweetheart," as the opening words of the chorus, given above, declare.
Mr. Johnson has had remarkable success with his compositions, some of the most noteworthy being "Fawn Eyes," "Beedle-Um-Boo," "Barn Dance," "Fairy Kisses Waltz," "All the Money," and most popular of all, "Powder Rag," a two-step which is played at all dances today.
