Brother Gilbert has been misinformed
in regard to the Wayne Adrocate. There
has been no mob about the office, but a
thief broke in on Wednesday night, stole
the head of our paper, and pied the form
which we had locked mp ready for prin-
ting the outside. The reason Of this was,
that when the senior editor got out his
his frst issue for Hall, lie went off Instant
er TO Huntington TO get the face Of his
sale, and whilst he was gone the junior
editor went to Cassville and took passes
sion Of the Office end proceeded to wash tie
paper Of the filth left upon it.; And THIS
is why We publish only a half sheet this

straight out Democratic paper, and fur
Their, that the other half is not for sale.

The Band Entertainment
HusrlGros, Sept. sOth, 1874.

htNIlUION, CNPt. Sesht A~'r'
ToTHE EDITOR OF THE ADVERTISER:
The success of the entertainment given
at Burdick's Hall on Tuesday evening,
was mainly due to the efforts Of our wor-
thy townsman, Mr.. w. II. Harper, and the
committee of ladies, who divided them
selves into parties and canvassed the town
for contributions.
The party who waited upon the people
on Second avenue, stopped at a large
frame house and asked the proprietor if
lie would give them something. But he
replied, "No, not a dollar" | believe he
made the same response before, when the
Band first got their instruments.
The ladies who were on Third avenue
Jared better. They net with no rebuke
save but from one old lady, who wished
the Band on the other side Of Jordan be-
cause it disturbed her slumbers.
The band extend their thanks to the Ia
dies and Others, who 80 kindly gave US
their assistance, and to the public Tor It's
liberality aud encouragement.
