HARDWOOD is likely to have q new, per-
manent choral society as q result OF the
very successful "Old Folks Concert" given
at the Ames Methodist Church last Thurs
day and Friday evenings. The members OF
the chorus of about 80 voices, gathered
together and drilled for this occasion by
Mr. A. E. Anderson, the well-known lawyer,
got so interested in the work that they have
determined to organize and keep ut iJ under
the same guiding hand. Allegheny and the
East End already have their permanent
chOruses, and it is a hopeful sign to see
other sections of the community fall into
line. Local chorus work is perhaps, the
most uplifting of all musical influences. Let
the good work go on!
