ANOTHER BIG HOUSE.
AT Concluding Performance Of "a Hero
in Khaki" by Local Talent.

III hhakI Dy Local Talent.
The third and concluding performance
of "A Hero in Khaki" by local talent
was given at the Barre opera house last
evening and was attended by another
large audience. The parts were all well
taken and the work Of the participants
was much enjoyed. The Civic Fedora.
ton of Women's club, under whose au-
spices the play was presented, has won
a great success. The ladies have work
ed diligently to that end, and they have
been materially assisted by w. Fl. Pit
kin, who also took leading part in
the cast.
The finances Of the play have not
been figured up, but it is thought the
ladies will secure over $500.
Thomas Mercer left small envelope

a. NJ Troup sang solo entitled "Our
City," and received hearty hand. The
words were as follows:
I've oftentimes wondered, when taking
stroll,
And thought what on awful bother,
When saw cart hauling mud off one
street,
And dumping it onto another.
Why one week they fill street full
of stone-chips,
And roll it down smooth as can be;
And the next week go digging it all
up again,
But III look IN the book and see.
I've oftentimes heard that Vermont won
great fame,
For the horses they breed in the state;
And the horsemen came here in punches
each year,
TO buy up the best they could get.
Why did our city council send out Of
Vermont
For horses, is puzzling to me-
Was Il graft, Or q pull, or simply dam

The assessors are dumb, and the over

But as mad as a man can be-
For thousand or so, should we kick

Why is 1t The member that comes from

When our Mayor gives his views IN

And John follows suit with the Mayor,
