and take hold of them in their
new communities. Town streets
were laid out square with the
square section of farms adjoin

Complaint has been made thai
the Band does not pi ay at differ
erit places in town. It is mipos
sible to givo a concert in front o1
each individual residence. If we
were to attempt thr, we should
then have to go to the country,
for some of our suppirt comes
from there. Now, to be fair, we
haveestabh- hod a standard place,
the Public .Square, whero we ex
pect to give our concerts through
out the summer. When we play
on tho Square, the concert is for
the public; when we play in from
ol an individual residence, it is
for individuals.
Ihe uand will give concert
during the evening of the festi
val, and we sincerely hope the
public in geueral will help us
along.

To Oil Water Street
At a recent meeting of the

oil Water street in order to elimi

sance Fifteen barrels of oil are
now being delivered to town for
this purpose, and it will be used
as soon as the street is cleaned.
Each property owner is expected
to clean the street in front of his

oil make a bad combination-
worse than mud. Scvape and
sweep the street down to the ma
