1t is generally conceded that Webster
will celebrate the Fourth this year. In
that event. why would it not be a good
plan to get the boys together, and or
ganize a brass bandy The money we
will have to pay for band music for d
celebration will buy the necessary equip.
ment for a band here, and it is ont OF
the question to carry out a successful
celebration without Il band. The boys
have all expressed a willingness to take
hold. practice, and get in shape TO make
n creditable showing i'm a very short
time. This matter should be taken in
hand at once. If some OF our enter
pri sing public-spirited citizens viii take
hold of it, Webster will have a tirst-class
band in a very few weeks. For the ben
eft OF the kickers, and OF curse there
are some, we wish to remark that il
they will sit down and figure a little,
they will End that Webster has had
value received for every cent she has
ever invested in bands. 1t is the active
members OF the band who are out on the
deal, aud ms long as they do not kick,
no one else, in our opinion, has any kick
coming.
