spoiled the old mill-stones on the common

| AN effort is being made to raise money to
| secure a new uniform for our band. The
! band has alwas been accommodating to the
citizens of this town and has saved us
many dollars which we should have had &c
| pay to outside bands for music. The music
! furnished by them Saturday would have
cost from fifty to one hundred dollars. II
they can have some uniforms, they can take
! jobs through the summer and earn money
but, if not they will have to suspend for the
present. We hope the people will consider
the matter fairly and give the boys gooC
start. We have one of the best bands il
the state, and they should be encouraged tC
keep together.
MEMORIAL DAY was the occasion of one o.
| the pleasantest and most successful publ,
demonstrations we have ever had in town
The procession was formed promptly unde
the direction of the marshal and began tn,
march about half-past one. The order OF
the programme was substantially carried
out, with the exception of the local secre
societies and the fire companies. The lin
of march and the order of exercises at TIN
unwilling of the monument, as given las
week, were followed. 1t has been estimated
that fifteen hundred or two thousand PEG
pie were on and around the common during
the speaking. The carriage with thirty
!
of the Union, was perhaps the most attractiv
feature of the procession. Much credit i
certainly due to the various committees il
charge of the arrangements.
