BAND ENJOYS BANQUET
Newberry Concert Band Has Supper at
Savoy HOtel-Pleasant Evening.
Some Good Talks.

One Of the pleasant events of the
past week was the informal banquet
given by the Newberry Concert band
at the Savoy hotel on Saturday even
ing The members of the band and a
few invited guests enjoyed most de-
lightful supper and after the good
things had been eaten, Director Wher-
ry arose and said there were certain
things he would like to have discussed
by some of the members of the band
and some of tne invited guests, and
he read out a number OF things ap-
pertaining to the band
He first called on Mr.. J. Marion Da-
Wis and he responded in a witty and
happy speech. He was followed by E..
II. Aull and he in turn by Prof. S. j..
Derrick and he by W. H. Hardeman
and then Mayor q. F. Wright and DR..
G. w. Siebert.
All of the speakers paid a deserved
tribute to the efficiency Of the band,
and gave them many words of encour-
agement for the good they were doing
10 the community, and spoke Of the
benefit that would come to the men,
bers in the satisfaction of ko-5ing that
they were serving their community,
even if the financial remuneration was
not great.
1t is too often true, or at least it
sometimes so appears, that the COM
munity does not appreciate such an in
stitution as a good band, but we sup
pose that it is appreciated, but some
times the public mas poor way of
expressing that appreciation.
Newberry has good band and we
believe that the people appreciate it,
and whenever called on will manifest
that appreciation in a substantial way.
The banquet was not for the purpose
of raising money, or anything of that
kind, but simply to get the boys to-
gether in a friendly sort of social way,
and have some of their friends present
to enjoy the occasion with them.
1t was a most pleasant affair and
was enjoyed by those present. There
is no better band in the state and New
berry has a right to be proud Of the
boys. Director Wherry deserves much
credit for the efficiency of the organ
ization. He says ne wouldn't care to
liFe in a community where there was
no band. He is enthusiastic and that
always succeeds.
