CLARKSBURG
Organizations Should Be Patronized On
Reciprocal Basis, Says Writer, Who
Thinks Home Musical Talent Should
Be Given Chance.

What is the matter with the clarlls-
burg people, why do they go ont Of
town to hire an orchestra, when tiere
is Il better one in town. If our town
people do not patronize the orchestra
they cannot expect patronage in return.
Can they expect to have an orchestra in
clarksburg il they do nothing 10 encour
age it? Other towns support musical
talent. why IS clarksburg 50 far behind
in this respect!
There are certain men in this town
who are running for office; win they &C
for their votes where they 20 for their
music TO Graftonf) Why don't the
orchestra aud band members 90 out OF
town for their tailor.made clothing and
other necessariesY The majority of the
men have families; do they go out Of
town to buy groceries and dry goodsl
The band has several future, engage
ments booked for out OF town during the
coming season which are very swell al
fairs and will necessitate the bands
wearing full dress. They will probably
secure tnem whore they get their money.
The support of Clarksburg people
would not pay for one suit in a year.
Parkersburg, our rival city says six
hundred dollars annually for the sup
port of a band and orchestra; waat does
clarksburg pays Parkersburg thinks
too much of their musical talent to z
