Our citizens will be pleased to learn
that Keystone band is reorganized
again, and once more furnishes us with
their excellent music. Unfortunately
for the band, quite few of the lead
ing members were called out of town
and in consequence were obliged Oast

ing efforts of some of the members,
they are again trying to pull them
selves together and maintain their
past reputation which has been A 1

wish the boys success, and trust the
citizens will aid them generously in
their cause.
