The Freemen of Old Concord will meet at the Town Hall, On Friday Evening, April 19th, at 7 1/2 o'clock, to take measures to fill up the ranks and strengthen the arms of the Concord Artillery Company, that they may go forth to fight our country's battles as our fathers did in '75.
Come one! Come all!! From the farm and the workshop, the counting room and the office, and show by our action that we are not degenerate sons of brave sires.
