That m the taxation that is again awakened in our minds when we beer aixait a band an>.l f know that tbe time is ap proaching when one cnuld be used. Our city never was te-tuod in the matter of ■ -elebratioos. and to make cur rounty fair*, street carnivals and pubiic gatberinga complete, we should be rex-rreentel by an organized band of tnusician*. There is bo question , about tbe matera! for we have more first class mus*c:aos than anv other crlfi our size in tbe state All that is oeceemry is for some good mxn to start out end eorrail thirty or fortv band player*, and within a'short time tbe Decatur band could be a* good aa any in Indiana. Decatur has tbe beet of everything else. so. lets give ber a bend, one of tbe real kind.
