sweet music has called forth the admiration
of all the visitors TO our fair, is an aggrega-
ton of musical artists OF unusual merit.
After their execution Of such excellent
music here for a series OF days every one
must admit that the flattering reputation
which they bear throughout north and
central Missouri is well deserved. Aside
from their musical talent 1t Is refreshing to
ascertain by an intimate acquaintance, that
tie band Is composed OF affable. courteous
gentlemen. Their gentlemanly bearing
throughout their stay in Joplin has been the
subject of frequent remark. and when they
depart for their homes this evening, they
will bear with them the we'll wishes and
hearty good will of the people OF our city,
This compliment may partly be appropriated
by Lexington, as Mr.. George Zeiler, the able
leader of the band, attained his musical skill
here, and as Messrs. A. W. Smith and Ed
