had secured thirteen members

instruments and it usually hap-
imis in such cases that several
come up uiisoiug when pay day
Comes.
But that isn’t the style of the
Rocky boys, and instead of some
body dropping out not only
every one of tlie thirteen came
a across with the, money, buttwo
new members joined raising the
number to fifteen. -
The new members were E. W
Norman and J. A. Devin-
All of the mem hern are per-
manently lo'-atid here and this
will Insure a permanent organi-
zation.
Toe boys do not expect to ask
file citizens for the usual bonus
in such cases, but feel that^it
vvoultl tie only showing proper
ippreci.ition of their efforts to
-furnish Rocky with a good band
if the town would provide the
money to pay for throe or four
