HUIIlD A BAND STAND.

A pablo spirited citizen and one
who is lover of music, said to a
Graphic reporter Saturday Il
was mach pleased when learned
some time ago, that band was TO
be organized in this city. As we
have no opera house, no street rail
way by which we may reach our
parks nor any form of amusement
whatever, it is natural to Suppose
that bard of fifteen or twenty
able musicians under efficient lead
ership would be appreciated and
extended hearty welcome by our
citizens, especially the business
men aod merchants, who would be
benefited. However, it seems that
Pine Blarf is less enterprising than
most other cities of her siza. many
of which would be only too glad to
lend every assistance to such al OR
ganizatien. These men, who are
giving their tune and money, which
means much to them, are permitted
to try to give an open air concert
for the en- tertainuent of the publlc,
with no seats and no lights except
those provided by their own efforts
and paid for wita their hard earned
money. A neat band stand with
seats and lights would cost but lit
tie and il Pine Bluff does not care
enough for the concerts to provide
it, how in the name of common
sense does she expect the band to
give them. These musicians al
not doing this foe the fun of the
thing, as a great many seem to
think; it meaps work, hard work
and lots of it, to say nothing of tie
expense of supper ting the organi-
cation. By all means let US endea-
vor TO encourage them.

MEMBERS NOT PERMITTED

EXPELLED
IF THEY NEEDLE WITH 1T.
A Public Spirited Citizens Plea
for Encouragement-Favors
Band Stand.

The reporter was much pressed
by the stringency of the bylaws of
the Cotton Belt band and more par
ticularly that portion pertaining to
the use of intoxicants. The present
members of that organization are
known as reputable citizens and
from the tone of their by laws it is
evidently their desire to give the
band as good name as each mem
Der bears individually, for instead
of the usual fine provided for ia
such, mem hers are informed Ia the
painest terms that expulsion fol-
lows any meddiing with intoxicants,
while such members are in anyway
connected with the band duties. A
musical organization of this char
acter IS credit to any city, and it
is pleasure to note that our citi.
zeos are coming to their support.
We understand there has already
been large sale of tickets for the
band and orchestra concert to be
given on the eve of August II and
the indications are that on that oc
easion, the lecture hall of the Insti
tute will be filled with the elite OF
the city. We are informed that
tickets will be placed on public sale
IN few days and also facilities pro
viding Tor reserved seats.
