The grand affair OF the season III
this community is on foot in the
shape of first-class musical festival,
to be held on Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday of this week, Feb. IA,
ID and 16, commencing at one o'clock
p. m. on Tuesday and closing with
concert Thursday evening. The
whole thing is being managed by the
Woman's Christian Temperance I'm
ion of this village. The object is
two-fold: Our people are all must
cally inclined and enjoy such occa-
sions. They first propose to give all
who will come an excellent opportu-
nifty for drill and instruction, under
the direction of Prof. James Whitney
who has been engaged as conductor
The secondary object is to raise a
little sum with which to carry on the
work in which the Union is engaged.
The preparations made and the in
ducements offered singers and must
clans, by way of free entertainment,
warrant us, we think, in saying that
it will be one of the best conventions
ever held in the county. All the
best singers in the county and some
outside have been invited, and so
many have promised to come that a
full chorus is guaranteed. While no
stars are expected from abroad, it
must be remembered we have in the
county many fine singers. Many OF
them will be present, and all who
sing OF play upon instruments are
cordially invited to attend. Any hav-
ing orchestral instruments are re-
quested to bring them. Bring your
''Voice of Worship" other books
will be furnished by the leader.
Among the soloist Miss Carrie Prin-
die, the celebrated young singer, will
be present. W. W. True and Miss
Aida Burgoine will preside at the
piano. Singers and members of the
Choral Union at Island Pond are ex-
pected. Let all lovers of music
come, have a social time and a prof.
table drill. Free return checks over
the Passumpsic railroad to all who
pay full fare in coming. Let all
come early so that the chorus and
orchestra can be formed at the COM
mencement. Season tickets, admit
ting to all rehearsals and the concert,
for gentlemen 81, ladies, 70 cents ;
rehearsal tickets Is cents; concert
25 cents. For particulars inquire of
