Ye Old Folks Concert.
Ye old folks came to town last evening
and held grand reunion and singing fes-
tival at Temperance Hall. The hall was
comfortably filled by admirers and friends
of the old ladies and gentlemen of the
concert troupe, and upon every possible
occasion applauded their efforts at merry
making. The concert was held under the
auspices of the Ladies' Auxiliary, aided
by the members of the Sacrd Heart Tenn
perance Society. The curtain slowly rose
from view presenting one of the most
unique as well as pleasing sights ever
staged in the hall. Tier upon tier of staid
and pretty old ladies greeted TIC ,S4, 81,
the audience, their well selected costu .les
adding stateliness and dignity to their
pretty countenances.
Prof. o. Demers, directed the 'Singing
Skule," and the complete success of the
affair Is due to his well known ability in
this respect. The young old ladies and
old young men rendered their solos and
choruses In manner which bespoke care
full and painstaking preparations. The
Old Folks entertained few visitors, too,
| among whom were Miss Healeyof Ashton,
Miss Mamie Demers of Pleasant View, and
Robert Casey of Pawtucket. Just to please
the old folks, Miss Mamie Demers and
Miss Healey executed few operatic solos,
| which fairly raised the old ladies' hair and
set their ''spects" goggling all over their
faces, and you could have heard them say
ing 'young gals didn't use to sing that
way fifty years ago."
But to do Miss Demers and Miss Healy
justice (as long as the old ladies got &C
jealousy their singing and execution of tn,
difficult selections was q treat to the au
dience and received well merited applause

ter, Miss Clara Demers on the piano, and
violin obligato by her father, Prof. Demers

audience to such degree that an encors

Maloney and A. j. Otto as brother dea-
| cons were, Gas the boys say up to con-
| cert pitch, and as for the young ladies'
well, it is hard to say, but one thing IL
certain judging by last nights experience
