Texas Instrumental Music Asso-
ciatlon.

C1dt1Ohs
On the 25th of April twenty-four of the
leading musicians of the Saengerfest Or
chestra, representing all the principal
cities of the state, met for the purpose of
organizing Texas instrumental Music
association. After materially celebrating
as to the practicability, the mode of estab-
fishing and maintaining such an associa-
ton, permanent organization was per-
fected, and the following gentlemen elected
for the ensuing fiscal year:
G. Herzog, president; W. Besserer, Sec
rotary; Fl. Klotz, treasurer, all of Austin
and the following vice. presidents: E.
Lindenberg, of Galveston; W. Marx, of
San Antonio; T. W. Schmidt, of Houston
81. Koethlow, of Dallas, and Fl. Schimmei-
pfnnig, of New Braunfels.
forth are:
First-To elevate the standard of music
Second-To further and protect the in,
terests of Texas musicians.
Third-To effect an organization by
which from time to time larger musical
works may be produced.
And, lastly,ito better advertise Texas
musicians, and show that Texas has an es'
tablished organization which can fully
cope with similar organizations from the
north, and is able to meet all requirements
where larger musical organization is
wanted.
As the name implies, the association is
formed principally for the ad-
vancement and production of in
strumental music, either orchestral
or military. Texas has ample
talent, without going beyond its bounds
and it is with this organization that this
talent is to be concentrated and brought
about. II is the intention of the mem
bers of this association to meet at least
once year and play in concert, both or
chestral and military, and then to visit
our principal cities on musical tour
thereby giving our people more frequent
opportunities of hearing such compost
tions that cannot be effectively rendered
without large combination. 1t is con
templated to make the first tour in Sep
TENDER next, and it is to be hoped that
when the Texas Musical combination
makes it's initial bow to Texas audiences
proper patronage and encouragement viii
be not wanting.
The association is not limited as to
membership, but, on the contrary, Is de
sirous of enrolling in its ranks all goot
professional and amateur musicians Of
the state, competency and gentlemanly
bearing being the chief requirements fol
membership.
1t has been furthermore suggested that
to bring the organization on more per
manent footing, our officers cell on linn
tied number of citizens to become as
sociate members, the dues for such being
only nominal, and in return for which
they are to DO entitled to regular sdmis
sion. 1t is believed that those who ma,
be called upon will willingly respond.
The bylaws will soon be ready for dis
tribution, copies of which, as we'll as an
other information, will cheerfully be sen
upon application to the secretary.

that made Mr.. N. c. Gum and Miss Elma
Childress one in the eyes of the law. The
marriage took place on Sunday afternoon

The Board of Supervisors were in
session Wednesday and Thursday last.
B. r. Young was reelected chairman
and the following committees appoint
ed:
alization-Sanborn, Wise, Bruneau,
limerick and Martindale.
Ways and Means-Phelps, Sanborn and
Mainville.
Claims and ACCOMPLISHMENTS, Wise
and Martindale.
Roads and Bridges-Chisholm, Kunath
and Kelly
Poor-Kennedy, Carpenter and Surprise.
Bills amounting to over SO, 900 we're
allowed, but the Supervisors have not
yet made any arrangements for pub
fishing the same so that the public
can know what the bills were for.
The Board decided to issue bonds
to the amount of $4,000, to bear in
terest not exceeding six per cent, for
the purpose of improving the county
roads. The roads to be benefited are
as follows: Wilson road, $4,000 !;
Long Rapids road, $4,000; Alpena,
Posen and Long Lake branch, 81 900;
Vessel road, $500.
The Board neglected to make ar
rangements for having their proceed
ings published. The cost would not
be large We understand that the
Pioneer and Journal each made an
offer to do the work at reasonable
rates, that is regular prices. The
Board are obliged to publish their an
nual proceeding. The remaining ses-
sions Of the Board are not numerous and
need not be published unless the SUI
pervisors are willing. This year there
has been only two meetings. Judging
from past years the cost of publishing
the proceedings, except the annual
one, which they are obliged to publish,
would be less than 500. We wonder
why the Board does not publish its
proceedings and thus let the people
know what they are doing.
