A BUCOISSFUL FESTIVAL.
The festival held by the Bloonis
burg Band Friday and Saturday
evenings was a success. Large
crowds were present both evenings.
Saturday evening the Catawissa,
Buckhorn and Blootusburg Bands
united at Barton street, and march
ed to the Town Hall, playing "On
ward Christian Soldiers." The
rendition of the grand hymn was
splendid, and called forth much
favorable comment. Not having
played together, our people were
not expecting the beauty and brilli
ance which marked their playing.
It is estimated that the Band will
realize in the neighborhood of $200
for which the members are very
grateful. The band wishes, not
only to extend its thanks to the
public for the liberal patronage, but
also to the ladies who assisted ihem
as waitresses and to the Catawissa
and Buckhorn Bands for their pres
ence and aid. As we have already
stated in these columns, the Band
under the direction of Mr. Calhoun
has made great progress. His
purpose is to keep on and his gifts
and perseverance make possible yet
mftre notable results.
R. V. West Married
Richard Valjean West, of Hunt
ingdon, and Miss Mildred Annie
Bouse, of Tyrone, were married on
Wednesday evening at the home of
the bride's parents, Mr. ana Mrs.
William A. Bouse, Tyroue. Mr.
West at oue time held the position
of superintendent of the Blooms-
burg electric light plant. He has
manv warm friends here who ex
tend best wishes.
