Where tho Band Is.

Mr.. EDITOR I'm your last issue
an inquiry was made as to tiiewhere-
abouts of the Band. This is the
first time since last summer when
the Band was disorganized, that
any Que seemed to have missed the
''koysSof sausic.r Deeply interest
ed, / should say. What do they
suppose the Band would have done
if they had been paying rent for a
room in which to practice, buying
new music, paying teacher, etc,
all this time, and no one to inquire
how they got along, or whether
they needed any help! Alpena
could boast of a good Band,-few
better in the State. But very lit
tie attention was shown them, while
other places contribute something
towards the support of such an or
ganization. Not so here, however,
except two or three men outside of
the company, and for 8 Band to
pay their own expenses for other
peoples benefit, is more than could
reasonably be expected. There is
not business enough here to keep
ap the organization, and if the peo-
pie want Band they must pay for
it until the time arrives when they
can support themselve, which is not
far ia the future, as there is begin
ming to be demand here for music.
There are two first class teachers
and leaders here, who are willing to
devote all the time possible, with
out interfering with their other
business, to keeping up a Band. So
let those who want a Band take
hold and do some of the work, and
not leave it all for two men to do.
Issue call for the Music-loving
citizens to assemble at some hall,
organize q musical association of
some kind, appoint officers and
committees, and let them see what
they can do. There is no need of
combining their work to the starting
of Band, but to all kinds of mus
ic, vocal and instrumental. Do not
stand back and inquire where the
Band is. There is none here. If
you want a Band go to work, and
success is sure to crown your earn
est efforts.

lions, and on every street in town
marked improvements are being
made. Notwithstanding the scar
city of money, our citizens are de-
termined to push forward and make
Alpena in the future, as it is now,
the town OF the shore. New stores,
dwellings, etc., are visible in every
part Of the city. Mr.. Rayburn,
who has the contract for clearing
the streets recently ordered open
ed by the Common Council, is MAX
ing considerable progress in that
direction, which adds very materi-
