West Randolph Concluded

Regular meeting OF Col. j. B. MeadCamp
Sons of Veterans this Thursday evening.
Important business to come before meeting
serve to show that West Randolph is not
having a monopoly of exciting topics for
clerical consideration.
Next Friday evening, grand concert
will be given in Dubois & Gays hall by the
vocal pupils OF Prof. Gibson, assisted by
the Harmony Male Quartette OF White
River Junction and the Ladies' Kalaphon
Quartette of West Randolph. Great pains
has been taken to prepare an attractive
program, and the concert will doubtless
receive a liberal patronage. The name
Kalaphon has excited considerable COM
ment and puzzled our students and SPELL
ers of English not alittle. 1t comes from
the wild and breezy West where it adOrns
a male quartette, and has its accent on the
first syllable.

fist church will take place next Wednes-
day afternoon and evening. The roll call
meeting will be at $3.50 p. m, and the gen
eral meeting at 1870 p. m.

the work of the Beedles always proving
its superiority. The cello solo Dy Karl X.
Beedle, Miss Grace Perry accompanist,a nd
the flute solo by Oren Minis together with
the "Dance OF the Autumn Leaves" and
the concluding selection, may be mem
toned as of more than ordinary merit and
the most exceptional among the numbers

hearty appreciation on every possible oc-
casion. Before the rendering OF the final
piece, Manager harrington arose and
thanked the audience for their kindness,
and announced that this was the final APP
pearance OF the Beedles this season, but
that they would be in Keene again next
