occh thought all along that the Corn
stalk Silver Cornet Band of this
place would furnish the music du.
ring our Fair, but it seems we are to
be disappointed. The Association
determined by resolution that they
would pay only SIS for Band. Ac-
cordingly a committee was appoint
ed to procure Band; partial ar.
rangement was made with the Corn.
stalk Band, but the boys, after fully
considering the matter, decided the
price was too small, and so notified
the committee that they could not
play for S75. Thcreupon the COM
mittec or some one else posted off to
Gallipolis for a Band. On Saturday
a contract was made with the Naomi
Band of Gallipolis, by which the
Fair Company was to pay them S75,
and IN outside collection of S2j was
to be made for thcm-making the
sum the Band is to get 500. Now,
if the same course had been pursued
toward our Band, they would have
played at the Fair, and furnished
good music. The action of the COM
mittec or Association, is to be dcprc-
Gated, as it causes II very bad feel
ing among our people. There was
no effort on the part Of the Associa-
ton to compromise with our Band;
but on the other hand they carried
their spite against them by employ
ing another Band, without even ma
king the town Band an offer of COM
promise. If the Association and out
siders could secure the Gallipolis
Band 500, they could certainly
have made the offer to our Band,
which is by far superior to the one
they have secured in point of must
cal talent We, together with a
very considerable majority of our
people, look upon this action of the
Association as piece of petty mean
ness.
