Talk about yer simph'ny concerts, with

An yer recitals an yer prodigies, with
their quavers an their trills-
Why. fer real soul-stirring music, I'd
have you understand,

our old Maineville aBnd.
That ere band has history. Way back
In sixty-two
1t marched away with banners gay to
cheer the Boys In Blue.
An when the war was over and back
they'd come to stay
There warn't as many, not by half, as
when they marched away.
So we albost had to make the hull thing
over. so to speak,
An we gathered in the school house fer
to practice twice week;
An we'd parade on Decoration Day,
when twas hot enough to brile-
But we didn't care, when the women
folks 'ud wave their hands and
smile.
John Clinton was the leader Che was
Mayor Of Mainsville, too),
An ef you'd a bit Of talent, why, he'd
get 1t out O. you;
An there was Tufts an Stevens, East

and Green mountains are seen, to the
Vermont Society Of the Sons of the
American Revolution, on condition
that they take steps without delay to
erect on the rock a memorial tower to
Vermont's great hero, General Ethan
Allen. The project was pushed by the
society with considerable enthusiasm
and the necessary funds secured.
The tower is of bold military or

at the narrow part, the battlements
being wide enough so that the top cor.

On the trail to Sleepyville,
Sleepyville, Sleepyville,
Loaf and loiter as you will,
Sleepyville, Sleepyville.
There the purpling sunsets glow,
And the crimson poppies grow,
And the tiger lilies bend,
Where the mountain rivers wend.
There the dusky fairies sing,

Gifts of fragrance everywhere
On the mellow summer air.

And the summer, matchless fair
Reigns a queen forever there.
