DESIRE TO
REORCAN|ZE BAND

There seems to be a sentiment abroad
in favor of recognizing the Danville
band. which has been ont of existence
for couple of years. The idea seems
to have taken root among some music
lovers. who can not understand why
the town Of Danville should not as in
the past support a first class band, es-
pecially as the band instruments are
here and talent of a high order abonnds.
A few years before disbandmeut 1t
will be recalled that new instruments
were purchased for the Danville band
bv money raised by popular subscrip-
tion. which instruments are practical
lv new aud should be in first-class
condition.
One of the former members of the
band during conversation Sunday
stated that he has an instrument in
his possession and that, should reorg-
anization be effected, he would gladly
take his place in the band or hand the
instrument over to his successor. 9th
er members, he said. who retain their
instruments are playing in Riverside,
while still others are playing i'll the
Bloomsbury band.
Taking all the facts into considera-
tion it does seem too bad that after
going to the expense of purchasing in
struments our town should lose the
band and that other communities
should have the benefit of the players
and the Instruments.
At the same time no blame attaches
to the members. The struggles made
by the band to keep on its feet can
easily be recalled. Certain it is that
disbandment was resorted too only
when the struggle became hopeless
one.
1t was satisfactorily demonstrated
that band in Danville is not self
supporting-thata a musical organiza-
tion OF that sort must receive con-
ate rent, cost of fuel, light, etc, or
the members will be obliged TO reach
into their pockets to meet deficit
which occurs each year. The latter is
what the members of the Danville
band were obliged to do They got
tired of it and decided to quit.
Without question our citizens would
be glad to hear that the Danville band
is to be reorganized. At the same
time it would be we'll to bear in mind
the conditions. The task Of maintain
ing band should not be n hopeless
one II assistance from the public is
essential. then it is possible, if proper
means be employed, that help in such
form as is desired could be obtained
The principal thing. however, is for
the projectors to be sure of their
ground and not to proceed with reorg
anization until aid and support is
pledged that will enable the band to
meet its obligations without any per-
sonsl and pecuniary sacrifice on the
part Of its members. Further news
relating to the proposition will be
awaited with interest.

GRONE BUILDING
TRANSFER RED

The members of Danville lodge No.
754, b. p. o. E., are now the happy
possessors of their own home. The
Grone building Tuesday was formal
ly transferred to the lodge, tine price
paid being s13. 800.
The property purchased is a most
desirable and valuable one and it
will no doubt be a permanent home
for the Elks. In addition to the splen-
did structure fifty-two feet of ground
in the rear goes with the purchase.
The lodge is looking forward to GER
tain improvements in the future. which
will add still more to the value of the
property.

HOUSES ARE
BEING MARKED

The board of health has taken action
on the communication recently receiv-
ed from State Commissioner of Health
DR.. Dixon in relation to certain pre-
cautions that should be employed to
prevent the spread of typhoid fever
Typewriter notices Monday morn
ing were delivered to the miilkmen, re-
questing that hereafter in serving
houses wherein typhoid fever exists
the use of bottles be discontinued. The
practice of refilling milk bottles gath
cred up while EN- route was strictly
forbidden.
The dairymen were cautioned to be
very careful in cleansing bottles used
to the end that the latter might be
thoroughly sterilized and in proper
shape for refilling
Each of the notices stated that the
order enclosed was given on the auth
ority of the State board of health.
Under the circumstances therefore, it
is not likely that the order will be
disregarded by any of the dsirymen.
The local board of health has also
adopted the recommendation of Dr.
Dixon and ordered all the houses pla-
carded wherein typhoid fever exists
Health Officer Benton B. Brown began
the work of putting up the cards yes
terday forenoon He was furnished a
list of houses to be marked He had
difficulty in locating some of these and
night came on before all the houses
were marked

The market did not show any very great
change as compared with yesterday. As Z

dull throughout, but good killers generally
commanded about steady prices, while COM
mon kinds were hard to move. Advices from
other selling points were by no means re-
assuring and packers orders did not appear

remains about the same as already noted
