The committee to receive the eX-
cursionists, when appointed, should
interview the Band boys and see if
they will meet the excursion at
the depot. We think the young

music will add much to the pleasure
of the reception, and tend to give the
excursionists a favorable impression
of our town and people.
Don't forget to credit up yeur
weather account with the beautiful
days of this week. Wouldn't it be

foot up and see which column is the
longest.
