SMALLWOOD.

The company that gave the enter
tainment at Smallwood on January Z
gave one at Gambler January %. The
attendance was all that could be de-
sired, about $50. The company wishes
to extend their thanks to those that
were present and for the excellent
order that prevailed. 1t holds the
people of Gambler in the highest es-
TEEN for the courteous manner in
which they received them. The COM
pany also extends their thanks to
the enterprising merchants, Shipley &
Bonner, for the use of their fine or
gan. The receipts were $685.; ex-
penses $3.50. The proceeds will be
used to purchase an organ for the pub
lie school at Smallwood, and to i'm
prove the Smallwood Hall. III has
been demonstrated since the erection
of the hall at Smallwood that large
hall Is great advantage to any com
munity, as II brings the people to-
gether on a great many occasions,
therefore giving them the opportunity
of knowing one another. The COM
pany has received invitations to 60 to
other places. If they do decide later

fine young man. The company has
no name al vet, but 1T has been sug-
gested that they call themselves THE
Little Joe Grammatical and Vaudeville
Company" in honor OF Mr. Joseph
Miner. So wherever an entertain
ment IL advertised under the head or
Little Joe, be sure and come, for they
will try to keep up to the standard
A new boiler will soon be placed
i'm the Smallwood Creamery. During
the past year the average OF 27c per
pound for the butter fat was paid, and
the SKINNED milk returned to the pa
irons. During the drought of 1910 the
supply of milk was short, but the pros
poets for 1911 are very encouraging.

PLEASANT VALLEY.

At recent meeting Of the Pleas
ant Valley band a reorganization
was effected and the following Of
ficers elected: Musical director and
manager, Edward r. Zepp; seargent,
Oliver Myers; president, Upton E.
Myers; vice president, Charles ;.
Yingling; secretary and treasurer,
Carroll z. Myers; trustees, Lewis D.
g. Wantz, Claude Myers and Raymond
n. Myers.
Mr. Zepp had been for some weeks
previous urgently solicited and press
ed to take the band under Lis charge
as director, but consented only after
several weeks consideration, and then
only on condition and pledge OF the
members to faithfully stick to him
and earnestly cooperate with him in
his efforts to arouse the dormant mu-
steal talents and develop musical or
ganization that will be a credit to
any community. The boys took on le-
newed energy and ambition and pledg-
ed themselves, and expect to be in
fine shape for an engagement by the
time the band season opens. II the
boys become too negligent and dila-
tory Mr.. Zepp will drop it like hot
potato Ii Is due Mr.. Zepp to say right
here, that he il in no way responsible
for the removal or withdraw of GER
tain members. The band will be
known as the Pleasant Valley Con-
cert Band" The boys greatly need
funds, and to raise same will hold
band fair and baZar, and oyster sup
per in the p. o. .. OF a. Hall, on the
nights Of February 8, II, 16, Is and
23, on which nights the following
bands, will give concerts: Mayberry,
Taneytown, Pleasant Valley Cornet
and Union Mills Bands. Remember,
different band each evening. These
will be unique occasions, and you
should not miss one evening. A treat
ID in store for you.
Few people, especially in the coun-
try, realize, or stop to consider what
best benefit and great influence for
good band exercises on a cOmmun-
ity. The love OF music is inherent in
almost every person, and where there
IL lack OF an appreciation OF the di-
vine art, (music) there is sure to be
found some element that il antago-
nistic to higher culture and advanced
civilization. In communities where
there are no bands or singing so
cieties it Is noticeable fact that the
people are unprogressive, devoid OF re
fnement, and live wholly on the ply
steal plan, giving no heed to any Of
the arts and totally Indifferent as to
the outcome Of the future. What il
more elevating and soul-soothing
than the beautiful tones of some we'll
rendered concert selections? Few
have any idea of the amount of money
required to run band.
