A band of Italian musicians with u
flute, harp and three violins favored
Audubon with visitation last Friday
Their music was enhancing, and struck
our people so favorably that q dance
was arranged for the evening at the
Park hotel, where delightful time was
enjoyed. Such music is seldom heard
as the Italians rendered, and their visit
was welcome one. Though the wan
dering musician is generally regarded
rs nuisance, he generally disburses
his amount of enjoyment among his
fellowmen and which Is not an incon-
siderate factor in the sum of human
happiness.
Mr.. r. l.. Harris, Of Sharon township,
contributes timely article to THE RE-
PUBLICAN this week, and suggests the
name of one of the best men in the
county as candidate for representative
on the republican ticket. The gentle
man in one of the Oldest as well as one
of the most respected citizens Of the
county, and there can be no doubt as
to his principles or faithfulness to pur,
pose. He is one upon whom the honor
might fall gracefully and without sole,
itation. The position is one that should
be given as u token Of confidence and
esteem, and we believe that the sugges
ton Of Mr.. Harris will find many hearty
seconds among our readers.
After attending the opera last Friday
evening Frank Bradley heard the
strains of enhancing music waited
from the dance hall of the Park Hotel
and intpitiyely his number skies com
menced marking time, his pulse quick
ened, and the corners of his mustache
made an upward twirl, all of which
prompted resolve to dance that night
for the first time in about ten years
In company with his good wife he went
to the hall, and was seen to glide in dur
ing the mazes Of the first waltz as grace
fully as an autumn leaf ilutters through
the ambient air. A number Of young
ladies secured the democratic sage fol
succeeding numbers, and he was the &C
knowledged belle of the ball. 1t was q
GREAT outinp for the ssdaie oentleman
