| new armofy OF company II. IL Is hoped the
ttwnspeople will take this opportunity to
assist The members of the company and will
attend in large numbers. The object Is to
get money to help furnish the rooms and
buy piano. The property belonging to
the company was destro ed in the fire in
| The old armory. The company rarely asks
the financial aid OF the community but at
this time you will not only have a good time
and get your moneys worth, but by being
present will show your interest in an or
ganization which has for years existed in
the community. An organization such az
the militia company composed for the great
part of Northfield boys, deserves your sup
port and especially 80 at this crisis. A mis-
taken notion is abroad that those who come
to the concert will be asked to retire at the
close OF the concert when the truth IL an
opportunity to retire will be given those
who do not care to dance or to be present
during the dancing. The others are invited
to stay through and attend tn supper which
is to be furnished by the company. The
concert will be frst-class in every respect,

| the same. A musical program presented by
the members of the school will add to the
attraction. The sale OF tickets up to date
insures good attendance.
