Last Band Concert-
The last band concert of the season
will be given in the park at 7.30 Friday
evening. This is an extra concert and
i3 put in on Friday evening instead of
Saturday, on account of the state W.
C. T. U. convention which is being
held here this week. The town should
be justly proud and appreciative of an
excellent band, composed of musicians
of no mean talent. We believe that
the present band is one of the best the
town has ever had and the people
through their attendance at the Satur
day evening concerts have shown that
they are appreciative.
Music-ile at the Club House.
At the impromptu musicale held at
the boat club house last evening, club
members and invited guests were
afforded an opportunity to hear Maurice
Koessler, the Boston Symphony violin
ist. No such talented violinist has
ever been heard here before. Mr.
Koessler's overture was "Thais" by
Massenet and he responded to an oncore
by playing the "Slumber Song" from
Schuman.
Miss Grace Gordon, whom the people
of Barton have already heard, ren
dered two selections with encores.
Miss Gordon's voice is of a peculiar
and rare quality and "The Harbor
Light" song by Sanderson was espe
cially good. Mr. Koessler's second
number, "Libeslied" was followed by
Madrigale and while every one of his
selections showed the skill and tech
nique of a master musician, this one
received the most vigorous applause.
Mrs. Bessie Adams accompanied and
handled the difficult accompaniments
especially well. It is hoped that Mr.
Koessler may be brought here later
for a concert.

To the Farmers of Orleans county :
The demonstration work of the
