writing she is much improved.
She is being attended by Mrs.
Jameson Of Walnut Grove and
Mrs. Brockenberg of Springfield.
Miss Frieda temple went to
Walnut Grove Saturday to at
tend a teachers meeting.
! DR.. Jamieson's many friends
in this neighbour God were deep
Ily grieved to learn of the sud
den death of his wife on Friday
afternoon. We understand that
Mrs. Jameson had been in ap-
parently excellent health, but
during the afternoon complained
of a Sight headache and retired
! thinking it would be relieved by
lying down while. A short
time afterward her mother went
upstairs to inquire as to her
condition and found her dead.
Her untimely death is an espe-
cially severe shock to her hus-
band as they had been married
only few months.
F. B. Grinde and Dan Pemble
returned Thursday from the
Lumbermen's Association con-
vention at Minneapolis, report
ing a fine time.
Miss Theresa Mcclure and
Miss Hulda Horning went to
Sleepy Eye Saturday evening
for a few days visit with their
friend, Mrs. julie Frank.
Fred Hermann mad the mis-
fortune to lose his big black stall
lion Saturday night, death re-
sulting from a severe attack OF
collie.
The band concert Saturday
evening was much enjoyed by
| the small audience that turned
! out, and the boys acquitted
themselves very well. The pro-
gram was we'll arranged and
we'll rendered and it was the
! opinion of all present, both home
people and those from out OF
town that the local boys can be
very favorably compared with
any band of equal experience in
the country. The attendance,
however, was very small, only
about forty people turning out.
Among the audience were two
of the local business men, while
two more were represented by
their wives. This attitude seems
to affect all Of the professed
friends Of the band in the vii
lage and surrounding country.
Moral support is very generous
ly given as long as it costs moth
ing. but when asked to couple 1t
with a little financial support
and contribute twenty-five cents
toward the running expense OF
the band enthusiasm drops to
zero or a little below. This is
truly a deplorable condition, and
is no doubt the answer to the
question that is often asked
'Swhy is there no life or bust
ness in this town." A band is
a credit to any town, and the
local boys and their director
have worked hard, and from a
bunch of young men with no
knowledge whatever Of music,
have, in one years time brought
out finished product that
would be a credit to a great deal
larger town than Revere, with
out asking any support from
anyone besides themselves, and
it seems a truly pitiable coadi-
ton of affairs when the people
who have been enjoying free
concerts all through the sum-
mer will not turn out at a con-
cert where a small admission
fee is charged and help the boys
along. Another very conspicu-
GUS feature showing this spirit
is the fact a great number of
people, including many former
of the band, waited |
until after the concert was fin
ishtd and came UP to the dance
afterward to avail themselves
of the opportunity to absorb the
orchestra's music without |
charge. The band boys plan to
play another concert in the
opera house on the first ami
versary of their organization, in
the latter part Of February and
it is to be hoped that the at
tendance at this concert will be
a little more creditable to the
