On Monday evening of last week
Miss Lulu Gillian entertained the A.
V. Cornet Band on the Hughes prem
ises. The grounds were beautifully
lighted and decorated with Chinese
lanterns. Ice-cream and cake were
served by the fair hostess and lady
friends to the band boys, who. it is
to state, did ample justice
to the good things set before them.
Though the saying of it may be deemed
superfuous, the members of the organ
ization fully appreciate the token OF
goodwill expressed that evening. That
goodwill is not singular, however. 1t
is truly said that friendliness begets
friendliness, as love does love, and
there is no lady in the Valley who
stands higher in the esteem and affec-
ton of the band boys than does Miss
Gillian. May every happiness be hers!
The Lawn Social given by the Ladies'
Guild st. Paul's Episcopal Church,
Ironton, at the residence of Mrs. A.
Roehry on the 9th was q success in
every sense of the word. The lawn
was a veritable Fairy Land and the
booths and tables beautifully decorat-
ed. One of the features of the evening
was the presence and music of the A.
v. Band, who looked magnificent in
their fine, new uniforms, and the music
rendered was commented on by many
from abroad. They will o be in a
position to compete with the best OF
them. The thanks of the ladies are
extended to the band and all others
who assisted them, and to the friends
whose presence added SO much to the
beauty of the scene and whose dollars
helped to swell the sum total. Re-
ceipts were something over $40.
