Frank P. Atherton, leader of the
Greater Fairmont band and director

ing. The rates of tuition for term of
ten weeks, two lessons given per week,
are, violin, for first and second grades,
$1,000; piano, first and second grades,

Professor Atherton is being readily
recognized as musician. of unusual
ability. AS band leader he has few
equals in this part of the country, as
was evidenced by the concert given on
the street last Saturday evening. We
have heard many compliments con-
cerning the music given by the band
on this occasion, and as yet he has
barely made the acquaintance of the
men. They will be given thorough
drilling in their respective parts, and
in a short time Mr.. Sam R. Nuzum ex-

State. An senviable reputation has
been theirs for many years, but under
the present able tuition they expect to
gain greater success than any hitherto.

MUCH WATER NEEDED.

IL will be noticed that the Land Compamy's offic--gArden al Brawley is unusually thrifty and iAst-growing. This is due to the care ot the agents Messrs Stanley d Kellogg. and they attribute its superior growth tO Abund- ant irrigation. Most people, when the ground looks moist think II does not need water; but Mir. Stanley is of the opinion that even under these eircum- stances more water is beneficial. The reason is, according 10 his theory, that the water fertiliLes the land. being heav- lily charged with sediment. and thus the more water, the richer the land is made and the more luKuriAnt the crop. This land below the sea has not had the usual deposit of vegetable matter and an additional supply from Colorado wa ter is in order. Mir. Stanley puts on plenty of water and drains it of quickly and this method is praetised not only in the Land COmpany's Ofhee-garden above referred to, but at his private place where like good results are ob- seryable.

Triumphs Of Modern Surgery.

Wonderful things are done for the human body by surgery. Organs are taken out and scraped and polished and put back, or they may be removed en- tircly; bones are spliced; pipes take the place of diseased sections of veins; an tiseptic dressings are applied tO wounds, bruises, burns and like injuries before inflammation sets in, which causes them to heal without maturatiOn and in one third the time required by the old treatment. Chamberlain's Pain Balm acts on this same principle. Itis an antiseptic and when applied to such in- juTies, couses them tO heal very quickly. IL also illeys the pain and soreness. Keep a bottle of Pain Balm in your home and it will save you time and money, net to mention the inconveni- ence and suffering which such injuries entail.
