The Carter boys got together
one day last week and organized
a brass band, with Chas. W
Crooks as instructor.
The instruments have already
been ordered and are expected to
arrive first of next week.
The parts taken are as follows:
Chas. W Crooks, W G Renfroe
and C W Gould, Cornet; Cecil
Summers, Ezra Breckenridge,
and L'n. Baumstark, Tenor; B 0
Davis, Byron Clancy and Bert
Kesler, Alto; G C Mitchel, Tuba;
M M McMillan, Bass Drum; L M
Gleason, Snare Drum.
Now boys, get busy, and learn
fast for we do not want to haye
to pay $50. to $100. a day for
some brass band to come and play
for us on 4th of July, when we
put on another celebration.
A bill has passed the U. S. Sen-
ate providing that all R. F. D
boys get $100. per month, a big
raise in their salary. The House
will have to pass on it before it
becomes a law.
Deputy Lum Ridley was over
near Moravia two days the past
week making some investigations
He arrested and carried to Sayre
one Frank Barterzjace, a Bo-
hemian, charged with carrying a
shotgun. The Bohemian’s place
had been sold by a loan company
to Walter Icum who in turn rent-
ed the place to a young man. The
lorn# owner of fr-e place took a
shot gun and ordered the young
man off the place and it is report-
ed threw all the things the young
man had out of the house. After
looking into the matter Mr. Rid-
ley arrested the former owner of
the place and carried him to
Sayre.
Station agent W T Knight and
section foreman CW Halmark
measured the distance from the
depot to the Carter post office
Monday. They found it to be 1038
feet, and the railroad employees
will still have to deliver the mail.
