above expenses. The band deserves much
praise as well as much encouragement for
the proficiency it has attained since its
organization. 1t is we'll known that any
band to do good work must spend much |
time in practice and must be to good deal |
of expense for music, instruction, and in
struments, besides many other expenses. |
1t is we'll to bear this in mind and a large
audience like that of Wednesday evening
is helpful both to show the appreciation
of the public and also to help financially.
The street concerts given by the band last
summer not only were enjoyed by the
people of this village, but by the many
who came here from neighboring villages
and the adjoining districts. And we
should remember that whenever funds are
needed by the band generous response
should be given to help along the work.
It is hard work in a country village to
maintain a band but we hope to be bile to
dolso here by doing what we can to help
the organization.
