Brookline, as it's name indicates, is
a long narrow town, with bubbllng
brook running it's entire length. MOI
ali the people are narrow, however,
but had they attended the Old Folks
concert on Friday evening, Nov. l,
there would be no need of telling them
how good it was, or how much they
missed by not being present. Whlie
the travelling seemed dubious for resi-
dents in the southen part of the town,
vet the large number who drove from
Athens. Townshend and Newfane,
showed only too plainly the desire on
the part of many, to join hands win
the s'good old Methodists, =" and fully
carry out the idea presented, "a little
assistance, please" in paying 1or our
organ! The chorus, though not large,
consisted of people who were interest
ed in the society, some OF whom nave
lived near the shadow of this church
for many years, and when voices and
songs of praise make glad the news
that the society, once dormant, is
again revived, and in prosperous
condition. To fully enumerate the
evenings entertainment, would per
haps be asking to much OF your val
liable space. Suffice it to say, that a
very pleasing program, consisting OF
solos, duets, trios, quartets, choruses,
readings and recitations, was well and
ably presented. Mrs. M. c. White
presided at the organ, assisted by +.
q. Burditt, doublebass, and S. b.
Higgins, violin. r. E. Marsh led a
chorus of twelve voices, as follows, at
tired in We ancient costumes: Allen
Wellman, A lton Morse, H. j. Land
fear, s. H. Morse, j. M. Miller, Mrs.
Bennett, Mrs. Wellman, Mrs. Landfear,
Mrs. Potwine, Miss Nellie Morse, Miss
Clara Bennett. Much credit is due
Mrs. White for the energy displayed
and time expended in making the
concert success also to A. 0. Well
man for the courage and manliness
shown in addressing an audience on
the spur of the moment, without
preparation or notes. Mrs. Daniel
Whitney presided at table filled with
all the good things which attract the
eyes of the "small boy" and judging
from her dish of money, we predict,
.ssales satisfactory. Following the
concert bountiful supper was served,
and all wended their way homeward
saying naught but words of praise for
the good entertainment given. The
society extend their thanks to +. o..
Burditt, S. b. Higgins, 5. H. Morse,
and j. NJ. Miller of Newfane, who SO
kindly volun teered their services. and
to all the people who assisted, by
their presence and otherwise, to en-
courge the undertaking. About 10
people were present and s25 added to
the treasury. Justice.
