Last Saturday evening the Crellin
band composed of twenty-five mem
bers, with Prof. Mickey, of Kempton,
as its leader, came to Oakland in auto
mobiles, accompanied by a large dele
cation of the residents of Crellin, and
for two or three hours, entertained
the Oakland people with selections of
popular music, well rendered and
greatly appreciated by the large num-
Der of Oakland people who had gath
cred to hear them.
The band is principally composed of
youths ranging from eight to eigh-
teen years. It's organization was eff
fected last September, since which
time by constant application under the
tuition of Mr.. Mickey, the band has ar
rived at degree of perfection in its
rendition of difficult music that is as
;onishing and reflects great credit up
on both the instructor and his pupils.
Oakland's people enjoyed the con-
cert and many expressions of appre-
citation of the visit of the band to the
county-seat town were heard upon
ever hand, coupled with the invitation
to come over again at some opportune
time
The band at Crellin is fostered by
the grown-ups Of the town who are
loyal TO every interest OF Crellin and
as unit get behind every movement
that is Of material benefit to the com
munity, which is very c0mmendable.
