village tax of 1895-1S96. The listers of '95

The annual band meeting took place last
Monday evening. The band has kpet up
regular rehearsals through the winter and
are in good condition for the spring cam
paign. The new uniforms costing 1925 are
all paid for and the boys have a good
bunch of new music and no debt. They
have, with the village appropriation, man
aged to live through the year and pay all
bills, but so far as individual members are
concerned they don't know how band
money looks. None of them have received
dollar for playing in the band for five
years. Who says their work is not a labor
of love? 1t would insure better band if
the boys could occasionally pocket dollar
from their playing. This is a matter for
friends of the village to consider whenever
there is call for the use of band music.
