WOOD TO HAVE A BAND?

There is a movement on foot to
organize a band in Wood and it is
very probable that a meeting of the
local musicians will be called in the
very near future to take the prelim-
mary steps. There is NO reason
whatever why Wood should not have
a good fourteen or eighteen piece
band, and have it in ample time TO
furnish music at the forthcoming fair.
We have the musicians, and all we
need is a little initiative, organization
and practice. This band proposition
is a mighty good M to push. 1t
will De a good ad for the town. II
you are a band musician, get behind
this proposition and help push.

Then our cattle died from thirst and

The five wagons had been on the
road for almost thirty days and expect
to arrive at their destination In
