bad , there were good crowds each
day. Friday , the last day , there
were several hundred people pres
ent. The woods were full of pee
ple. A ball game followed the
speaking in the afternoon which
was close and exciting , but finally
won by the 1st battalion over the
3rd battalion in a score of 17 to 11.
The soldiers gave an exhibition of
scaling a wall and a race between
two soldiers in dismantling gun ,
blanket , belt and leggins on the

the reunion was a success , despite
the wind and bad weather.

Mrs. Bartlett , a sister of Albert
Webb , and formerly a resident of
Valentine , has been visiting in the
city the past week.
. . Myor C. M. Thompson of New
port , and LamBer.t brothers of
Cams , Nebr. , were in.town Tues
day , buying fractional government
land tracts which were sold at the
U. S. land office. The editor took
Mr. Thompson out for a drive
through the farming section on
north table.
A new band of fifteen pieces has
been organized in Valentine by
the young men. They contemplate
giving a series of open air concerts
during the summer. Ed Morey ,
Wallace McDonald and Fred Jones ,
cornet ; Len Bivens and George
Hunter , mellophone ; Flo.yd Petty-
crew , baritone ; Robert Webb , slide
trombone ; Harvey Hornby and
Roscoe Fischer , clarinet ; Frank
Fischer and George Hornby , tuba ;
Byron Shaw and J. H. Jones ,
drums. They meet next Tuesday
evening at 8:30 : on llooton's bal-
conyN Heretofore the bands or
ganized in Vaieu'ine have depend
ed upon the encouragement re
ceived from the citizens of our
city and have fallen to pieces when
that support waned or the people
ceased to pat them on the back
which they expected in a continu
ous stream of applause. They ,
however , were not without their
prejudices and upon sundry oc
casions manifested it in various
ways. But with the new organiza
tion of the band we hope the kick
ing and grumbling element will be
eliminated , even though many of
the same members compose the
band now. The thought should
not be , how much the people of the
town owe to the band , but rather
that the band contribute their mite
to the society of the town which is no
more than every good citizen does ,
though we don't all toot our own
horns and perform our functions
in a loud and brazen manner.
This new band may expect as much
appreciation and commendation as
they show other worthy and com-
mendable'enterprises. They are
only a part of the social features
of our town and should be content
with only a fair appreciation and
consideration.
