Home Manufactured Drums.

William Dixon, colored, was in
town Monday with two drums,
a base and a snare, of his own
make. The base is "a inches in
diameter, with calf and sheep
heads and shell Of copper. The
snare drum has calf head and
maple shell. The time required
to make them was some three
weeks Of odd time Dixon is a
farmer and lives out five miles
east of town. He states that
when he beats the base drum at
his place the sound can be heard
at Lodi, eight miles north. Dix
on is u musical genius and has
been beating drums since he was
small. The drums he just made
are Of good tone and workman
ship and he deserves much
credit. He states that he will
soon start work on a much larger
drum,
