We hear that the Altimont band of Lud-
low is winning golden opinions wherever
they play. This affords US much pleasure,
for we think they owe their success, in y
measure, to three members of our band.
Mr.. ID. w. Parker, leader of our band,
plays with the Altimonts, as as a cornetist
has very few superiors in the state. Messrs.
G. l.. Parker and .. s. Osborne are very
fine musicians, members of our band, and
they play with the Altimonts so we feel
interested in the success of the Altimonts,
and only ask honor where honor is due.
As election day approaches the political
spirit begins to manifest itself, and spirit

five candidates in the fleld-all good men,
but all have their enemies. At present it
would geem as though the struggle would
be between j. l.. Martin and A. N. Howe |;

Of, as is frequently the case, may run in.
May the best man win Is the sincere wish
of AGATE.
