BRISTOL CONCERT BAND
Members Faithfully Practicing
Every Week Under Direction OF
Prof. Armstrong.

That Bristol is to have real
Concert Band is now certainty
Judging from the large membership
of the band and the interest they
take in the meetings.
If you have never seen a band
in the making, you will be well re
paid for your time to visit them on
practice nights at the new school
building You will leave feeling
that everything in this world is
certainly worth while. Mnay Of
the boys little dreamed a year ago,
that at this time they would be
members of real concert band and
able to make sweet sounds come
from an ina--imate object, called
cornet. flute, drum, trombone, clar-
met, etc, but such however is the
fact They have accomplished won
derS.
The members of the band are due
much credit for their wonderful
showing under the able teaching
of Prof Armstrong and it is now
up to the citizens of Bristol to
show their appreciation in some
material form. The boys have paid
out of their own pockets all the eX-
pense of bringing Prof Armstrong
to Bristol and buying their instru
ments.

THIS IS NOT A DAMN LIE.

THIS is NOT A DAMN LIE.
A certain Minot gentleman, whose
veracity is seldom questioned, tells Of
happening to friend Of his, which
in order not to lose any Of its effect
iveness will have to be told in his own
language:
"My friend Campbell was out in
a damn little boat, just above where
the damn dam dams the damn Mouse
river. He decided to "shoot the
shoots and went over the damn dam.
He then turned around and tried TO
run the damn boat back over the damn
dam, but the damn water was coming
over the damn dam SO damn fast that
it got the best Of him. Pretty soon
the damn boat got so damn full Of the
damn water that was rushing over the
damn dam that the damn thing sank.
He then sent out damn wireless to
the damn fire department and they
made q damn good run to the damn
dam and threw out life line and res
cued the perishing. But at that lie
was damn near drowned in the dan,
water that the damn dam dams damn
deep. II was damn exciting for lit
tie while"
