SPELLING MATCH.-NcNt Friday even
ing there will be Il spelling match in Vii
tt-e Hall. Side, will be chosen and Il
lively time may lie anticipated. The pro
reelS will 20 to the Band. and we ask our
citizens to turn out AMI give them Il rouS-
inc bic house The Band needs money to
pay some of lis necessary expenses, and
with all they viii get it is an expensive
institution to those who belong to it. They
nOc only give much time but have to spend
money rs well, and the people of the town
who are given the benefit of their music
owe it to their own sense of justice to help
I-tain the organization.
Such full notice has been given of the
match thtt there will be no hanIbil>
| issued for Friday evenings performance
| The Band ought to realize Is much from
the match Il, the Reading Room did
from the school ''--that WAS ninety four
dollars. We presume the price of admis-
sion Will be the same, twenty-five cents.
