FIHE In BAND!
Members of BingviIIe Horn Band
Get All Het up About Money With
Result That Horn Band Will not
Perform at Co. Fair According
to Custom. Read About Fite:

The mellodeous organization known
to every Bingvillian as the Bingville
Horn Band, which has lightened so
nanny of our more weary moments
with the strains of marshal musick,
sometimes a trifle sour, but always
marshal, has had a fight within itself,
and as result its CHEEKY notes will not
this VI. ring out upon the assembled
multitude at the Hardscrabble Fair.
1t has been we'll said that money is
the root of all evil, for it was nothing
more or less than money which was at
the bottom of this fife, it is pity that
there cannot be a organization which
cannot preserve its freedom and its
aloofness from the commercial faint By
remaining free from the Attacks of the
Golden Calf
The committee over to the Hardscrab-
bic Fair made the Horn Band Liberal
offer, in accordance with their liberal
ness in the past. The RECOMMENDATION
which the Horn Band was to receive
for going over to Hardscrabble and
playing from in the a. m. until 6 in
the p. m. was s. which is a generous
sum, considering that the band will be
there only two days, and it will cost
them nothing to git inside the gates and
see the fair and the people and ever
thing else.
AS soon as the generous offer of the
Fair Comm. was made known, Jed Pet
ers, our intelligent school teacher, and
leader of the Horn Band, called a meet
| ing of the band to be held in the back
of Hen Weathersbys genl store last
Wensdy ev'g, so as to decide about
everything.
Everybody was on time, those pres
ent being Eph Higgins, base drummer,
Seth Dewberry, trombone, Harve Hines,
picolo, Bige Barker, cyrnbals, and IL
Gookins, base horn.
Jed Peters first a nounced that the
remoonerashion was So, and that this
would be divided equally among the
members, thus giving each member SC
cts. apiece for his 2 days work. To oncet
there was a offal boiler. Eph Higgin:
spoke right up and said that he wa:
horn-swoggled if he thought Jed Peter:
ought to get that much for waving Z
littel stick in the air when he had
to carry big base drum around or
his stummick, pounding it. Eph said hc
ought to get l dol, and that the other
2 dolls. ought to be divided equal among
the other FIVE members.
At this Il Gookins and Seth Dew.
berry set up a turrible yell. Both Seth
and IL said the trombone and the has,
horn took a powerful amt of wind tc
blow, and that they would be blamed
il they would divide equal with Harve
who only had to tootle now and ther
/ on a measly littel piccolo, and Bigt
Barker, who played on q instrument

pleasure or loafing to play. Both SetE
and L said they thought they ought tt
have the other 3 to divide between

who is a snide and who is honest,
and all these things which we need
to know to talk intelligently during

So everybody put on his best

if he don't spend any money
