The Music stand on the Old Green

TO the Eoftor Of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Among the many improvements now taking place would it not be well for our city fath- CTS to turn their attention to the music stand on the public Green, with g. view to it's re- construction and establishment? Standing so near to classic ground it does not look very classical. It will no doubt puzzle our architects to say whether it shall be classed in the Gothic, Roman or Greeian style. From it's severe simplicity it was probably designed "when music, heavenly maid, was young" and yet it Is surrounded by our temples of worship, courts of justice and institutions of learning, the een- ter of culture and civilization. Next to the emblem of liberty it is the most conspicuous object on the public square: The town pump" rejoices In an airy and tasteful cano- py, while that which represents music is treated with parsimonious econcmy or in difference. .

But age must suffer on, unless the curative agent be. of itself, equal to the task of capturing the strongholds of the disease. None have proved so speedy and strong for this task as Athlophoros. Says David Little, of Sumner, Bermer Co.,, Iowa: ssAm seventy-seven years old. Have had the Rheumatism for nearly four years.
