At party in the country lately

who was present says the girls fight
now, as they used to. But we'd rath-

and there's sort of dead taste to
jute that you don't notice in real hair.

Let us not forget our old friend,

standing, the concrete results of their
observations and Investigations. They
were voluble and belligerent, one with
another, disagreeing upon many
points as only scientists can, while
the comet was visible, but as it passed
from view silence seemed to fall
and the flaming portent departed
with hardly word of goodbye from
Official quarters. Are the astronomers
all agreed now concerning the comet?
Did we or did we not pass through the
tail of the celestial vagrant? And if
not why not? What new things con-
corning the heavens and the wonders
thereof were learned from the com
cts visit? In short, by this time, the
returns ought to be in and we'll tabu-
lated, digested and edited. If there
are any interesting facts pertaining
to the matter let US have them now
for most of us will be too old to take
much interest in such things when the
temperance of Halley's wanderel
shall start the world talking comet

tucks afford the best method for or

given some very fine bau1 concerts
in Fairmont in the last few years, with
home musicians. A lot better than
most towns twice this size can give.
I have taken bands to other towns and
other States, and played alongside OF
regular army bands and militia bands
from good many States, and we were
one of the best bands, and always
brought. credit to Fairmont for her
musicians. You all know these men
are amateurs and work every day in
the mines, glass factory, barber shops
or clerk around town, and give their
time and money to learn, and some
pay rs high as 30 and rs cents car
fare to come. to each band rehearsal,
and We. sometimes have two a week.
These men need encouragement from
the citizens of Fairmont II they are
interested in the town having good
band and orchestra. In order to keep
good band going 1t takes lots Of
money and hard work on the part OF
all the members. Now We are not
asking you for, money. but We do ask
you. for our share of the playing that
there Is in town. Surely out of the
band we have in this town we can get
FIVE or six men that can play in an
orchestra, and they depend on orches-
ira playing to keep them in town.
The fact that one of the orchestras
that has played here lately has
made propositions to three OF my men
goes to show that they are not behind
the other musicians in this State. II
