WESTERN NEWS continues to be as it deserves, a favorite paper in this sec tion, as it contains all the latest and most i'm portant home news, and is taken by large majority of the families in this locality One reason of it's being the favorite home paper is attributable to the fact that it's editor does not make ''fool of himself" by trying to pre- vent correspondents from writing for other papers if they see fit, as some jealous pated young editors do, who by excessive flattery are made awiser in their own conceit than seven men who can render a reason' It's correspondents from this way are not of that kind ot material that can be bullied or nosed around by "puffed up" editors of other papers, in their teens, but they can write for papers and not neglect their business, and their home interests will be prospered, and such paper that is just and honorable toward all, is sure to increase it's circulation
 Highly satisfactory must have been the re. suit ot the band concert last Wednesday eve- hing to it's projectors, who had worked so perseyeringly to make 1t success. The rain ! kept many away who were greatly disappoint- ed at not being able to be present at this, the finest concert yet given by the H. R. R cor net band. The parade of all the bands was necessarily postponed on account of the rain The opening plece by the H. R. R. band, an overture, though finely executed composition, was difficult, as the long continued applause of the audience of full house gave evidence The West Cornwall band, MT. Geo. Hughes leader, favored the audience with pretty se. lection, having for it's entitlement, "l3th Reg iment Quickstep" The Lakeville band, Mr. o. Benjamin, leader, and the Canaan cornet band, MT. G. E. DeHart leader, played well, and as the latter named is comparatively 8 new band, whose leader has had but little ex. perience as such, they certainly are worthy of praise. The violin and piano duett by Messrs Underwood and Camp of Canaan, showed much proficiency and talent. The singing was exceptionally good, as was also the cor net solos by Miss Rose Harding, who has been under the instruction of Arbuokle, and who has not played that instrument but about two years. The boys can justly congratulate themselves on their deserved success, and had the evening been pleasant, the hall could not have contained all who would have sought admission. It is hoped whenever they give another concert they will not allow the whole audience to be disturbed by the in decorum of few noisy individuals in the rear of the hall, or by the dlsagreeahle noise of shucking peanuts, which they sold in the hall during the evening IDLEw1LD.
