A very slim house greeted Gorman's
Alabama Troubadours last night. I'm
doubtedly the appearance of the Ieffer-
son Comedy Co. at the opera house to-
night is largely responsible for this
state of affairs. The Troubadours gave
a very enjoyable entertainment, well
worth the price of admission. They
have with them some OF the best singers
and dan GERS that ever appeared in
Barre.
Referring to the recent gift of pair
of kittens to member of the W. c.. u.

cause. for yesterday he consigned them

ten for him by his manager, MIR, Willis
NJ Goodhue, who was in Barre this

event of the week.
