The Skylight City Band

At the republican rally Thurs day evening of last week an excel- lent program was rendered both at the Commercial hotel and the court house by the Skylight City band. The boys have shown a decided improvement, and under the splendid leadership of D. F. Steuart IS doing excellent. MT. Steuart is putting forth his best efforts and the boys are taking great interest in the work. The band is made up of excellent ma terial in the way of membership, and while it requires a good deal of work on the part of both the leader and the members to perfect an organization of this kind, the boys are doing nicely, but we feel 1t necessary and right that they should receive some aid from the citizens in helping them to further their aims. While they get cer- tain recompense upon special en- agreements, it is not sufficient to supply their needs in the way of instruments and supplies. Sew eral of the members h a e taken interest enough to fur nish their own instruments, but we feel that the citizens should show their appreciation and give them encouragement to the extent of contributions that this band may be made one that each and every citizen, who has the interest of his town at heart, will be proud of and one second to none in our new state-to-be.

 If you are sick and miserable, and suffer from any of the pains due to womanly trouble-try Cardui.
