Good Words for the Centreville Drum
Corps.
The Centrevillo Drum Corps was
ouo of the uttractious, aud the
bass drummer caused a sensation
whenever he would givo vent to his
patriotism by a unique overhaud
manipulation of the big beaters. The
notes of the life aud the roll of the
drum revived the memory of the
days when the Pross boyB aroused
the martial spirit of the people on
such occasions, aud disturbed their
slumberors Now Year's morning and
Washington's birthday anniversary.
The Ceutrevillo patriots will always
receive a warm welcome whenever
they visit Lewisburg. Lemsbnrg

We are pleased to learn that our
Centrevillo musicians won such fa
vorable comment.
