BRATTLEBORO.

Brattleboro's military band needs lateral
encouragement to keep it from disbanding.
There are several ways by which this excel
lent organization can be preserved and the
town retain one of the best bands in New
England. Heretofore the band boys practi
cally have given their services so far as any
suitable compensation goes, and their public
spirit has impelled them to give weekly con-
certs during the summer months, which
afforded much enjoyment to the townspeople,
besides attracting travelling men and undoubt-
eddy bringing many dollar to town that
would otherwise have been spent elsewhere
Last summer these concerts were missed,
though substitute musicals were given at the
West village. 1t is suggested that benefit
be given the lst regiment band some time
during the winter, and it is believed that at
least 600 or 800 tickets could be sold at 81
each for a concert in the auditorium, thus
raising without burden sufficient funds to
insure the continuance of the bands organi-
cation for year at least.
