 The Village Improvement associa- ton have secured the Williams College quartette for concert this week Friday evening at the Town hall. The quar- tette is composed of students from Will Hams college, who are partially at least dependent on their own resources for an education. The program is long and varied one consisting of college songs, quartetts, duetts, solos, and selections, and judging from the comments of the press, are rendered in an unusually fine style. The Greenfield Gazette says: "The concert by the Williams College boys at Shelburne Falls last Friday eve- ming was very much enjoyed. The young men sing their college songs with a spirit that is decidedly infectious and all the numbers on their long program were rendered in good style and harmo- n.y." It is hoped that there will be a large attendance as the association has been to considerable expense in secur- ing this frst-class quartette. Tickets for sale at the post-office Thursday morning. Admission 25 cents; reserved seats 35 cents.
