which was cer tainly a commendable one and one that was much appreciated by every one that was present if one could judge by the comment heard on every sfde alter the program was over this also applied to the asslbtlilg artists as well by the number who attended this concert one would have to judge that the people of georgetown do n6t lulli appreciate having such an aggregate of splendid musicians who are so ca pable of playing a really fine pro gramme very few towns if any have a band that could play a better pro gramme than was played on sunday night and the band and its conductor deserves great credit for the perform ance if the lack of attendance was due to insufficient advertising of the time place and date of the programme then steps should be taken at once to see that the next performance of this splendid band is widely and fully ad vertised in every possible way it is hoped tha this band may beheard very frequently in the future and that kery assistance be giyeri them
