promenade concert and Oyster supper
in Mcpherson Hall, to which they in
vite the citizens Of Brownville, and
the adjoining towns and country. Tbs
price Of admission, and the pro
gramme, have not yet been fully de-
termined upon, but we are assured
that the former will be within the
reach of all, and the latter made a:
attractive as possible. With one oI
two exceptions the music will be en-
tirely new. and with q view to pre-
senting IL to the public in 9 satisfac-
tory manner the members are rehers-
ing almost nightly.
We trust the people Of Brownville
will keep this affair in lniud, and ex-
tend to 1.-THE boys" that patronage
which they so richly deserve. For
two years or more they have kindly
given their services to the church fes-
tivals, concerts, public meetings and
what not in our midst, and have con-
tributed In no small degree to their
success. During this time they have
been at considerable expense for in
struction, music and instruments, and
il the organization is kept up to its
present high stsndsrd-and our citi-
zens surely do not desire to have q
poor band-their expenses must nee
essarily continue. They now conf
IDENTIFY appeal to one and all for
small contribution to their treasury,
believing that their services in the
past have been, and in the future will
be duly appreciated by our people.
We hope they will not be disappoint-
ed.
They desire TO meet all their friends
give huge "Sociable," as it were
and welcome in the New Year with
music and mirth. During the even
ing Geo. d. Prentice's beautiful poem,
''The Closing Year" will be read by
one of the members of the Band.
At the hour OF II o'clock the con-
cert will conclude, and those who
wish to trip "the light fantastic toe,
in the mazes of the dance" for an hour
or two, will have an opportunity to
10 so. The above hour has been
named in order that those who do not
iesire to participate in this kind of
will have q full evenings
enjoyment in advance, and If so dis
posed can retire before dancing COM
nences.
Further particulars in regard to
price of admission to hall, supper ETC.,
will be given in due time.
