A Good Word for the Band.
EDITOR REPORTER:

EDITOR REPURTER:
Allow me to say publicly through
your columns that after attending the
band concert Tuesday evening, was
delighted to know that Leon had such
an excellent band. They furnished an
evenings entertainment that was most
wholesome, and that gave evidence Of
much hard work done in practice. Leon
has a right to be proud of such an
organization, and will doubtless give it
liberal support. j. i. BoyD.
