They Played "The Little Rebel." I
To the enjoyment of all present;
and there was a good crowd there,
The Little Rsbel was played at
Caton's hall Friday night. It was
clearly demonstrated that ' the
town of Concord has ample talent
o give performances to our peo
ple. In every respect we have
performers competent to give most
creditable plays. The muscal
feature at the opening was as fine
as we have ever had here at any
ot our entertainments, consisting
of duets and solos. The three old
maids were" most comical, and
what a diilerence there was when
they turned themselves around
instead of three old maids with
their fans, and scarcely a tooth
in their head, there stood three of
Concord's belles. The play, "The
Little Bebel," was very amusing,
but Bill Jones' girl, who loved
him even when he was beyond
the sea, and was always - ready, to
confess her fondness for him, was
one of the best. The others were
