The concert for the benefit of the Gem
etery Association held at the Methodist
church last Friday evening, although few
were present, was most enjoyable affair
The vocal and instrumental parts were well
rendered and merited repeated encores, but
owing to the length Of programme, were
necessarily omitted. Prof. John Almon OF
Waltham, Mass, the noted clarinet soloist,
and Miss Josephine Taylor, elocutionist,
kindly gave their assistance, which with
the excellent home talent that we may well
be proud Of, made the concert success and
worthy of a much better audience. The en-
tertainment committee desire to thank the
members of the band who added much to
the enjoyment Of the occasion by giving
few selections in the open air before the con-
hanan work association
the past year, as all who visit the cemetery
know, has been very satisfactory. All has
been done that possibly could be with the
funds provided. The entire receipts from
the concert just held was $36.36 and as the
necessary expenses were paid by few
friends, the total receipts will be paid the
association The thanks OF the public are
due to the ladies of the entertainment COM
mttee, for their untring efforts for the
good of the cause and to all who assisted
in making the concert success.
