 tain the orchestra, led by w. Fl. Camp, | delighted the audience. The program
 was admirably arranged and carried out, and tue results achieved were most grat- flying. Miss Lulu Brinton made her debut in cornet duet with her instruc.
 tor, J. O. Wolfe, and at her second ap- pearance in solo the grace and case oi it's execution won for her an enthusias- tic recall.

 mute attachment, was masterpiece for him and when it Is taken into consider ation that one year ago several of the band knew not one note, the bringing
 of it up to the standard it has now at
 tained reflects the highest credit upon | Mr Wolfe which no one present that
 evening could have failed to see. The tax on his energies has been severe, and
 the people of the community should
 bear this in mind as they listen to and enjoy the fine music as discoursed by
 them. To speak of each and every one
 who took part in the quartets, vocal ol
 instrumental, would require more thai
 our allotted space. The receipts were
 one hundred and seven dollars.
