The Old Folks Concert passed off !
with grand success, far beyond our an
ticipations. The number present ex-
ceeded one hundred and fifty, sorry to
say we had not seating capacity for all |
present. However everything looks |
favorable for the new hall in the near
future that will have a seating capacity |
of 800 or more. MANY thanks given t. |
Prof. Gibson for his kind and attentive
instruction which made the concert a
success. The proceeds will enable us
to continue our singing school.
AT 9.15 Thursday morning this com
munity was shOcke by the receipt of
a telegram bearing the sad news Of the
death of Mrs F. W. Abbott. We all
have the deepest sympathy for Mr..
Abbott.
We are pleased to advise the readers
of this column that there has been
revision made with the paper which is
in circulation for the Village Hall.
The change is the cancelling of the
last clause, this was done by request
of those who had already signed, it
now reads as follows: eve the under
signed agree to take as many shares as
are set against our respective names
for the building of Village Hall in
Fairlee, VT. The capital stock to be
two thousand dollars (S2O00.00). shares
to be ten dollars $50 each" We trust
now that there will be more interested
in this on account of the change made
and that there will be no delay in
many taking a few shares. You will |
find pen and ink at the station if you
will kindly call.
