OF the best companies of music makers
the city has ever had. On Decoration

manner to be proud of and no band
could be gotten together that would fur

music than they did. 1t is the intention
OF the band to give occasinal open air
evening concerts through the summer,
and there is no doubt but what they will
be duly appreciated by the citizens of
Edgerton and in all probability will at
tract many from the country districts to
listen to them
