Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1879-05-26


come here by invitation of some of the
leading musicians of this vicinity who
know something of the popularity of the
Swedish ladies, and are acquainted with
Mr.. Blaisdell and his musicians. 1t is
an unusual thing for one of our churches
to open its doors to any concert enter
tainment, but the reputation of these
Swedish ladies and the character of Mr..
Blaisdell are such that their entertain.
ment will be welcomed. These ladies
have sung only in the larger places in
this State, but from every paper where
they have sung they have the most COM
plimentary notices. Mr. Blaisdell is too
we'll known to need word of praise. We
have not heard for years, and we shall
not be likely to soon have another oppor-
tunity to listen to such concert as this,
and we hope every one who appreciates
music of the highest order, will attend.
We are not given to putting" ordinary
entertainments, but believe that this one
is calculated to elevate the taste as we'll
as to please our people. The concert
will be held at the Brick church. Tickets
can be obtained at E. F. buttons for
80 cents.
