There is some talk of an effort to secure
a first-class piano for the Town Hall to be
used on occasions of entertainments. The
proposed plan Is to have united effort
OH the part of the Amateur Dramatic
club and the musical talent of the village
and get up series of entertainments, the
proceeds to be devoted to paying for the
instrument. In order that the piano may
be secured with as little delay as posi-
BILE, We believe, it is proposed to raise the
amount by subscription, the same to be
refunded to the subscribers out of the
proceeds of the proposed entertainments.
We understand some of our leading citi-
zens have signified their willingness to
subscribe literally on these conditions.
The necessity for good instrument for
use of entertainments in the hall must
be obvious to all aud we sincerely hope
the project will be speedily carried out
and the piano ordered ut once. We un-
dcrstand liberal proposition has been
received. i'm answer to letter OF inquiry,
from one OF the leading piano firms of
the country, and should one of their in
struments be secured our citizans can be
assured of q first class instrument in
every respect.
