THE ROSWELL BAND.
First Public Concert of the Season
Last Evening.

The music loving public of Roswell
were highly delighted last evening
when the Roswell band appeared on
the court house lawn to give one of
the famous concerts. The music rem
dered was fine. and the musicians
were heartily applauded by the large
crowd that had gathered. This is the
first public concert that has been CIV
disorganized last fall. Instructor Jack
Fletcher has been working hard and
the concerts will be given every Sun
day afternoon. This news will be
hailed with delight by all the citizens
who have contributed to make the
band a success. Those who have con-
tributed monthly allowances will be
called upon and those who have not
are given an invitation to contribute,
The band cannot be made a success
without the necessary funds, and all
the band boys have to depend on is
the generous public. A good, we'll or
ganized band is one of the very finest
advertisements a city or town can
have. The citizens of Roswell have
a widespread reputation for generosi-
ty, and the band boys will not have
any trouble in securing the funds nee
essary for the good work. Roswell,
had a band last year that she was
proud of, but several of the band
boys left the city. and this was the
band. Instructor Fletcher expects to
have a band in the near future that
will equal OF be superior to the band
Of last year.

The history of the organization of

scribed as a party of high ideals. The
passage of the Kansas Nebraska bill
made no longer available the honeyed
glue of compromise with which Henry
Clay had so often linked repellant
atoms in harmonious alliance, and in
1856, for the first time in our history,
the forces of freedom and slavery were
aligned for battle. Candidates for the
Democratic nomination for the Presi-

contest was between Douglas and
