The Citizens Band gave their long
contemplated concert last Monday night
at the opera house. There was a large
attendance and every one present enjoyed
the entertainment. The band, as band
did not give very large portion of the
program, in fact, only played one piece.
The balance of program was given by
local talent, and consisted Of songs,
piano solos and Duets. The Mandolin
club, under the leadership Of Mrs. Ger
trude Sutton, gave very pleasing num-
Der. The baritone solo, played by Mr..
Mains was one of the features of the
concert. The rest all did well and quite
a number expressed a wish that concerts
by local talent should be more frequent.
They are always enjoyable.
