The Hamilton band came to Nau-

ing and played a concert on the
corner Of Thirteenth and Mulholland
streets, in our business section, for
the entertainment of Nauvoo people
and our rural cousins. The cause Of
the band members late arrival was
some mishap that occurred to the
auto conveyance that brought them
to the Mormon city. The city was
alive with humanity and automobiles
at an early hour so as to be In time
not TO lose number OF the sweet
strains of Hamtlton's crack musical
organization. 1t was a tedious wait
for the vast throng of humanity that
Invaded our thoroughfares, but a
short time after o'clock the musick-
ers appeared and forthwith got busy
with their instTum ents and filled
pure air in Nauvoo with the sweet
strains OF their excellent music. A
good band Is a good advertisement
for town and should be assisted by
every citizen, for trade can be drawn
to a town which otherwise would not
come. Another concert by the same
band viii be given In NauYoo next
