Music aa6 Her Sister Song,

gainesville has so improved her musi-
cal advantages and elevated her tastes in
this as in other matters, during the
past few years that, to say the least, we
are as community excel in the pro-
duction and a proper appreciation Of a
high standard of music by no town of like
size in the State. Able and hard working
instructors have succeeded in creating an
interest in both vocal and instrumental
music that is constantly increasing. And
now a concert is contemplated which
when perfected will be at the same time
a rare treat and novelty to music lovers.
On the first Friday evening after the
Fourth of July, chorus, of thirty or more of
our best singers will give in unison with
the cornet band, a vocal and instrumental
concert upon the park OH which occasion
will be rendered among many other stan
dard productions, ssThe Anvil Chorus -
'Old May Morning." selections from ''Tan-
hanser," etc. The "Anvil Chorus" will
probably be given with the telling and
effective accompaniment of the smiths
anvils; ringing OF church bells, and firing
of cannon. The leading spirits in the pro-
ject are Professors Hamlen, Emile Burgy.
Geo. Burt and Mr.. J. Il. Kilbourne. Under
the direction of these well known musi-
clans there can exist no doubt of the sue
cess of the undertaking, mammoth as it
is. People living out Of town will find
| themselves amply repaid by attending,
and readers Of the JOURNAL will be kept
| informed of further progress in the reali-
| cation of the plan.
