pearance. They rendered the following
numbers: Star Spangled Banner March;
Standard; Waltz, Sweethearts; Railroad
Galop; Waltz, Friendship and Marching
Through Georgia. big audience greeted
i the musicians in Denslow Hall, all rising to
their feet as Old Glory toated out from a
{ standard as the opening notes of that inspir-
ing air sounded from the instruments play,
ed by home talent. Hurrah for our band
members! The town is justly proud of
such a remarkably good beginning, and
looks forward to the time, apparently IN
! the not distant future, when ali occasions
can be furnished with desired music by
home band. The New Years ball under
the auspices of the band members was
largely attended and very enjoyable. The
excellent music for dancing was pro-
vided by the Belfast Quintette. The order
of dances included II numbers, s before
and after the intermission. Ralph Thomp

members as aids Ice cream was on sale
