OUR RGEoRGETUwN CORRESPONDENCE.
Mr.. Howard Whiteside, proprietor OF
Nine Points hotel, who died on Thursday,
the 9th inst, was buliei at Colerain
Baptist burial ground on Sunday, 9th.
Two men came into the village Of
Georgetown Oh Thursday evening of las,
week with few oysters and shad in their
wagon. They stayed over night at the
hotel, and during the evening told story
of being robbed Of some thirty odd dollars
at London Grove hotel in the afternoon.
Whether the story was a correct one or
not is not known, as the parties colnpla in
ing were considerably under the influence
of "fire water.''
The past week has witnessed some
changes in the village and township, but
the coming will witness considerably more:
Some OF the parties who have changed
residence have gone out OF the state, while
others remain in the township.
Some little hopes are entertained that
the railroad transac! ions between the Z.
W. l. i. company and the j. Il. II. will
result in the construction Of a road that
will 90 through the iron lands in this vi
cinity and open up a new industry among
It's. The contemplated road, from New
York to Washington, now spoken of,
would find a good trade and easy con-
structiOn through this neighbOrhOod, as
the OctOraro branches would give access
to the river with little Ecavy grading.
Let it come.
The. band concert at Nickel Mines proved
4 success. The house was crowded and
good order was maintained. Tho "band
boys were decked in their new suits, of
blue gray cloth, blue cap and white and
red piumes, and looked remarkably we'll
for men whose days are spent at hard
work. John SEeiiings. of Strasburg, their
leader or teacher, was conspicuous among
the rest by his blue dress, and white and
blue plume.
A curtain was drawn across the plat
form of the school house, behind which
the band arranged itself, and when the
curtain was drawn the bright horns and
suits looked remarkably well. Smelling
nodded and the band struck up a tune
which was executed with an ability that
would he creditable to older bands in this
ncighborhood. Even those who were
Hkepiical in regard to the success OF a
band at Nickel Mines were compelled to
admit that the "bpys" were improving
rapidly. The entertainment was varied
with an orchestra composed of two
music with organ accompaniment,
organ duets, ard some comic songs
by Master Schclling, which brought
down the house. Miss Jennie Dob!c was
their organist and soprano singer, ard per-
formed her part with commendable ability.
The Nickel Nine band is composed oi
young men who are employed at the mines
and was started some seven month agu
With very little draw backs thryhavc pushed
along until at the present time they have
fall band OF sixteen pieces, fully equip
ped, and have mastered the minor elements
of band music. They have displayed an
amount of perseverance,, which il main
tanned, will soon place item in the lead Of
country bands.
While nlaHy may feel that mucl, OF the
Saturday nights performance would not
bear heavy criticism, al! 2 rrcc that the
band did we'll and the community here
abDuts, who love music, fee! like assisting;
to keep Nickel Nine band in the field
