Iha Shenherdstown Band.

This excellent musical organization
from Shepherdstown, w. Va, came
to Shenandoah and furnished the
music for the 4th day of July. Our
citizens were RECALLED with the best
music they have had an opportunity
to enjoy for long time. This band
has few superiors, if any, among coun-
try bands, and our people will all tes-
tify to this fact. 1t was real treat
to listen to the music of this band; its
time and harmony are perfect and its
various performers are experts. In
addition to what the band received
for its services, we voice the thanks
of this entire community for the en-
joyment afforded by their excellent
music on the 4th of July. The Shep-
herdstown Band will always meet a
hearty welcome when they come to
Shenandoah Shenandoah Herald.
