The concert at the Congregational
church Friday evening, though not
largely attended, was an entertainment
that reflected much credit upon all who
had parts. Miss Slayton, Miss Hall,
Mrs. Nhipple and Mrs. Fisk carried
their songs well. Miss Slayton never
sang better, while Mrs. Whipple did
herself much credit. Miss Hall, who
has not appeared before a Morrisville
audience for some time, showed that
her time in Boston had been we'll
spent, and her singing was received
with much favor. Percy Stone exc
cuted two difficult airs on the violin
in skillful and accomplished man
ner, winning for himself much praise
from all present. The laborious work
of the evening fell upon Mr.. Hadley,
the organist, and he proved himself
equal to all the requirements. Mr..
Hadley plays with decision, accura-
cy and fine expression. We doubt if
there is to-day a more accomplished
organist in the State.
