The Meneley Concert Co.

The Meneley Quartet Concert
Company of Chicago will give con
cert in Opera Hall next Thursday
evening, Feb 81, under the auspices
of the Good Templars. This company
has an excellent reputation and will
give satisfaction.
j E. Clayton, Chairman State Pro-
hibition Committee, Milwaukee, Wis:
l know of no other com bination hav-
ing ever been in Wisconsin that has
given such universal satisfaction to
the audiences not only to temperance
people, but to all classes, especially
the young peoples societies of the
different church organizations, as the
Meneley Quartette has done. The
programs are of the highest order OF
merit. The impersonations of W.
Eugene Knox, who, without question
has few, If any, superiors in his line,
adds much to the attractiveness OF
the quartette and its popularity.
The number of inquiries / have
received asking for return date of
the quartette is sufficient evidence
that their fourth engagement with
me, will prove even greater success
than former ones.

Washington in the Revolution.


Come list my friends, and you shall hear
OF the good Old days OF yore,
How Washington and his Minute men
Drove the British from our shore.
At Lexington and Concord town
The British were amazed,
SO fierce the thrOng, SO hot the shot,
The rebels guns forth blazed
Next, Washington from Boston town,
Out made the British jog,
Then ferred DER Long Islands sound,
The rebels ina fog.
'Crost Jerseys lands the Bgtisl chased
Our men, VINO, cold aud bare,
George Washington placed safe aud sound
Behind the Delaware.
In seventy-six, on Christmas night,
Across to Trenton town,
George led our force which did King Georg-
E's Hessiaas to brown.
Along the marge of Delaware
Our guns we're asked toigrOund,
But Washington, at early morn,
Replied at old Princetown.
To Brandywine George led his force,
And now my tale is sad
Tho fierce he fought he was re2ulsed
Upon the fords of Chad.
The scene now shifts to yellow sands,
Surrounding old Yorktown.
The bugle blows, the cannon boomS
CORVALLIS is brought down
Then 'twixt the files of Washington
And the Count Rochambeau,
OHarra leads the British reds
With colors dropping low.
The curtain draws, the strife now ends.
And dawns brighter life
The hero of the people goes
Back to quiet life
