The City Will Lend a Hand.

AS the time for band concerts on the
park draws near, those who have en-
joyed the concerns given by Halls Mill
tary Band are enqurlng if the band
will give concerts this year OF course
the band expects financial aid from the
citizens and of course the band Will
get it. This city has one of the finest
bands in the State and naturally the
band management must go to consid-
cradle expense at the opening Of each
season in the way Of purchasing new
and latest improved instruments and
new music. The manager has failed
to find any mandatory that will give
away Instruments or any music dealer
who will distribute music free. Last
year the city council did a popular act
in appropriating $50 for the band ask
ing in return that open air concerts be
given weekly during the heated term.
The band was cut on every fair Tues
day evening and thousands attended
the concerts. When the present city
council makes up the appropriation for
the year, $50 or more be asked for the
bard and of course the council Will
raise it.

A Rare Old Book.

Mr.. T.. j. Clarke of this city, has in
his possession an old book that is in
terestins to great extent. 1t is

lust Dying for a New Bridge.

WinsloW people are just aching for a
new bridge to take the place of the old
covered bridge across the Sebesticook
The seectmen had Hon. Parker Spot
ford of Bucksport, over there. Mon
day, to examine the old one. Mr.. Spot
ford says the old bridge will last for
five or six years but it will not be a
new bridge. II is possible that the
town would not mourn if the old bridge
got adrift some fine night when the
water is high. or was demolished by a
spark from locomotive. The town Of
WinsloW is as we'll "heeled'' as any
town in the State and the people over
there are getting to be bit stuck up.
so much so that the old bridge that
has carried so many of them over safe
ly for nearly a century is not good
enough for them. A new bridge Of two
spans of 100 feet each will cost the
town about $4,000. They have got the
whole thing figured out and Will be
ready when the emergency comes.
