7 The war drama, Loyal Mounialneers
At the Town Hall, Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday evenings Of last week was
decided success. This Is the fret attempt
Of the grand army boys TO bring out
drains, and they are congratulated on al
sides for lbe successful manner in which
It was carried through. Their success
was due largely 10 the aid aud support of
the citizens Of Arlington; some Of the
leading characters being taken by those
To no way connected with the grand
army. The members Of Post Dudley
desire to say through the columns Of the
JOURNAL that they are very grateful for
the assistance Of the people, not only on
this occasion bat also in the past The
scenery was painted by Geo. W. Bennett
Of Manchester, and does credit TO bis
skill as a painter. We hope to gain see
this or some other good drama placed on
the boards In this place at no distant day
as we consider II more rational amuse-
ment than dancing and kissing parties
and one that tends to improve the mind
of the persons who take part In them
To Posts Of the grand army who contem-
plate bringing out war drama we say, /
try the Loyal MountaineerS, and with
the gentlemanly manager, Mr.. Osborne,
You cannot fail of success.
