Trade at most Of the stores in this
city has been unusually good the
past week-better than at some per-
iods before the holidays. Saturday
some of the stores had more custom
ers than they could promptly attend
to.
Capt. Hingeley and his staff are
now able to definitely announce that
the famous Second Regiment band
Of New Ulm will visit this city Feb.
18th and give one of their concert
programs at the court house. In
addition, they will afterwards furn-
ish music for grand military ball
at the opera house. The bringing
of such a large body of musicians
will involve considerable expense,
but the Company L members be-
lieve that the public will generally
patronize these entertainments and
help pay expenses.
