This important news came to us on Wednesday of this week, when Prof, W. N. Sears of Barrington, who has a class in band and violin music in this village, called on this office. Mr. Sears informed us that a num ber of the older musicians of the vil­ lage have asked him whether or not it would be possible to start a brass band in McHenry. His answer to them was that just such a thing could be done with a little encourage­ ment from the people of the village. It seems that there are a half dozen or more of the older musicians who are willing to join such an organiza­ tion and, according to the Barrington professor, there are at least ten youngsters in the village who would come into an organization of this kind. The proposition of organizing a band has already been talked over with a few of our business men and in nearly every instance the question has met favor. A musical organization is a fine thing for any town and we sincerely hope that the village will be given another good band. EXTRA PERSONALS Mrs. G. E. Schoel was a Chicago visitor today. Peter B.
