THE ssOLD FoLKs'' CONCERT TO NIGHT
Our people will have rare opportunity
for enjoyment to night at the ''Old Folks

the Deaf, Dumb and Blind Institution
| rare because it is So out of the usual order
Of concerts, There will be II ladies and
gentlemen, dressed in the costume of colo
NAL times and singing tile music Of thai
day. While most of the dresses have beer
manufactured for the occasion yet some OF
them were Worn over half a century ago.

Yankee lady who many years ago celebra-
ted her golden (50th Year, wedding
another will wear a dress once worn by
her great grand mother and all will veal
the ancestral high-heeled shoes, tuck

Snidkins.)
Of the music, h aving hear1 a rehearsal
we can speak knowingly. The hymns ART
: Just the queerest you can think of and OF
Il class of music it is no use at al
to attempt describing. A comic
song. "Cousin Jedediah,'' the air sung 10y
a lady who wells the words with the true
New England tone and the chorus by thu
Company is worth the price Of adm issiol
by itself. And Of this, and all the other
choruses we are Obliged to say that its tht
best chorus singing that has ever been
heard in Stanton. Think of a chorus OF
25, composed altogether of trained solo
singers with not a bad voice in it, and you
will see what it can be. In what the man.
ayers call the worldly songs there are al
the favorite ballads: the ''Last Rose OF
Summer" by Miss C., the "Irish Emf
grant 8 Lament" by Mrs. B, "Saw Y,
the lass" by Miss D., ''Robin Adair
by Mrs. s., who brings new and beau
tiful voice to the list Of local sin gers and
John Anderson my Joe" by Mrs. B
who with Mr. B, will represent the oil,
dame and her husband in costume.
The '"timeist" for the old folks Is
sCheaemiah Billings" (Dr. BY and thu
''organer" "Jubal Swan prof. (. J and il
saying this we feel that we have added thu
only thing necessary to assure the publ.
that tonight at the Institution hall will b,
one of real musical enjoyment.
