church next Sunday evening at eight

One of the best concerts ever heard
in johnson will be given at the opera
house, June 18, by the celebrated
Wilder Orchestra of Montpelier. This
company of five artists is selected
from the we'll known Military Band
of the Vermont National Guards.
Mr.. Wilder, the manager, is one Of
the finest musicians in the state.
Every one who enjoys good music
will be sure to hear this company.
Watch for the bills.
The Pre- Memorial exercises at the
opera house Thursday afternoon
we're, to say the least, above the
average. The Rotations were well
committed to memory, not one of
the children having to be prompted.
Some of the pieces which particularly
took the fancy OF the audience were
"Soldier Boys" by three little bows
carrying drum, knapsack and rife,
and "How Betsey Ross Made the
Flag" by three little girls all of the
primary school. The songs "Flag OF
the Free" and "Voices of the People,
given by all the schools in concert,
were especially good.
Remember the second annual con-
vention of the W. c. T. U. to be held
June 5 and 6 in the Congregational
church in johnson. Our program
announces everybody invited. We
hope there may be large attendance
from adjoining towns. Come and
hear the address Thursday evening,
Life in MANILA" by Miss Annie A,
Robbins of st. Louis, Mo. A recent
issue of the Manila American con.
tanned, by actual count, twelve liquor
advertisements ia it's ten pages. One
would think that the chief business
of the Americans in Manila is to de-
eide upon the particular brand of
liquor to be used.
The population of our town must
be increasing or our people must be
growing public spirited and turn out
better to all public functions. We
have considered our town hall large
enough to hold the entire town if nee
essary, yet Memorial Day it was filed
to its utmost capacity and some
listened on the outside. C.P. Hogan
of st. Adams, the speaker of the day,
gave most interesting address. He
defined the relations and duties of
the United States to the Philippines
and made an eloquent plea for the
soldiers there reminding the veterans
that they were the same class of men
as those who took the field in '61,
and entitled to the same considera-
ton.
