 Next Tuesday, the 11th of December, the choir of West Stafford, under the di- rection of Mrs. B. A. Wilbur, assisted by the orchestra of Staffordville, will give a concert in the Congregational church at Staffordville. The program will be large ly the same as that followed in West Stafford on Nov. 18th, which drew a crowded house, and so very we'll satis- fled the audience that it was thought ad- visable to repeat it in different part of the town, where it would be within reach of another audience, ,and also to give those who heard it before the opportunity of en- toying it again. These entertainments are an attempt to supply, in measure at least, the demand which is felt in every community for good uplifting hours of recreation. A small admittance fee will be charged, and supper will be served in the vestry after the entertainment. 73O p. m. is the hour. All are cordially in- vited.
