led Peters, our intelligent school
teacher. led the band with a little stuck
in his hand, and made a good job OF 1t
too, except once the stick slipped and
nit Enos McCracken, who set on the
front seat, in open mouthed astomsh-
ment, a wa1lop just above the LETT ear.
This made Enos purity mad, who
grabbed I'D the stick and broke same
acrost his knee, to show his dlspleaSure,
then grabbed his hat and went home IN
deep disgust.
The first piece rendered was Home,
Sweet Home" and it was beautiful. We
noticed several of the audience in tears
during this piece, they was affected so
much. and everything would OF went
smooth if Hank Dewberry's hound pup
when the musick started, hadn't OF be-
e11n TO howl in a offul melancholy way.
Deacon Butterworth, who set near the
dog. give it a kick with his boot to quiet
it and the dog grabbed the deacon by
the calf of the leg, and for a moment
consternashion reigned soopreme IN the
Amen corner. Finally Hank got hold
of the dog and took him outen the hall

away on it. Now anybuddy with an
sense knows that when musicians who

eating pickle or lemon, or anything
else sour like that, they can't blow theil
instruments to save their lives. As +;
