Is Growing Fast

DR.. Serge Androp and wife of
Paxton called on friends in town
Saturday.
The doctor reports that he had
made trip over to the new town

about seven places of business.
AS yet the townsite has not
been plated but it is expected
that it will be plated, either there
or close by soon. The doctor also
stated that there is nothing slow

Surprised on Birthday

A very pleasant surprise was
sprung on Mrs. Julia Larson, the
Banner editors mother, at her
home 5 miles east of town, last
Sunday, the occasion being her
58th birthday.
The writer and mother had just
started out for a little spin in the
Ford about II a. m, when we
meet an auto loaded down with
passengers, which stopped and
gave instructions for US to come
right back home again. A few
minutes latter along comes some
more. After arriving at the house
they then told mother that they
came to help celebrate her 58th
birthday, and we dare say We
never seen mother so surprised
before.
Those in the party were: Mr.
and Mrs. Knute Boyum and baby,
Mr.. and Mrs. Elling Njaa and
children and Mr.. and Mrs. M. 0.
Seglen and daughter.
But that wasn't all, they brought
along lots of good things to eat
and at noon all partook of the
finest and most delicious picnic
1inner we have sampled for some
time.
A most delightful afternoon was
spent and mother ent quite over
he surprise sprung on her yet.

Band Is Putting
Circle on the Map

The Circle Brass Band although
only about year old, is already
being recognized as one of the
best in eastern Montana. Their
services are being wanted at sew
eral different places.
One offer is to furnish music
for the big two-day celebration at
Jordan on July As, but as Circle
is putting on a monster celebra-
ton the 4th they had to turn it
down and will furnish music for
the big doings" here at home.
On June 9th the local band goes
to Watkins to furnish music for
the big Institute doings to be held
there on that day.
This surely speaks well for the
rapid progress being made by the
band under the able leadership of
C. B. Stuart, and shows that the
loyal support extended the band
by local residents and others, has
not been in vain, but has helped
he local organization to such an
extent that it now may easily be
,lassed with best in eastern Mon
ana.
A good band is one of the best
lssets any town can have. Only
up-to-d date and real
i've" towns boast of good band
and Circle is one of them.
